SLIGHTLY IMPROVED ' BUYING FOR TURKEYS IN FRONT SL TRADE Sales of Pressed Birds Being Made in limited Way at An Advance of 1 Cent Ter round; Tomorrow's . Kecelpts Will Tell, A - ' Vnvtlftnd Produce Trade. "' '' : ' Eggs hold Steady. Chicken market weak. Cheese dull but firm. r ' 5 Butter holding firm. " Better call for turkeys. , , V Tomato market overfull. . - No -hops offering. .- ' . -' Dressed meats stead. There Is' V slightly better Reeling In the local- turkey market and .sales - of fancy dressed tirds are being made as high a 83o a-pound. .. For cull stock there is little demand with values showing a rather wide ttl.' Most of the supplies of the local trade for Christmas will arrive tomorrow, therefore it is ' impossible to state at -title time what the exact prlcewill be. L Whil the present buying -indicates a erne what better price 'than was at first indicated, this is deceptive for the rea son that not enough stock has been sold as yet to firmly establish a price basis. Shippers are again warned against the marketing of poor quality dressed birds. Bo unsatisfactory are prices gen erally for this class of stock that re eel vers are averse to handling H. - A few live turkeys are coming for ward and are finding a rather good demand at SfOo a pound. Outside markets are showing no Im provement. ... JllATO SUPPLIES HEAVY Heavy supplies of California tomatoes are offering In the local trade and prices are lower at ll.2501.sO a crate. Quality generally Is good. r. ,.. .:.';. . GROWERS HOLD PACK HOPS Growers are still unwilling to accept hop prices being offered by dealers. More European business is offering and the market outlook la firmer generally. CHICKEN8 ARE VERY SLOW Very alow tone Is showing in the chicken trade and cleanups are harder to make even at J Jo a pound for live birds. Holdings along the street are still liberal and some will be carried over until, Monday. DULLNESS FAILS TO AFFECT ? While the demand for cheese Is rather slow the dullness has failed to affect the price even a fraction. Makere are firm In their views and are content to hold rather than shade quotations. MANY POTATOES OFFERING 1 ' ) v. - ', ' . Extreme low prices now , In effect In the potato trade here has not caused f rowers to hold back their offerings, n fait there are more supplies avail able for the trade than at any time since the season started. '; PLENTY OF PRODUCE '. 1 'i - 9 The wants of the Christmas trade will be well taken care ot In the whole sale produce market. There is no short age apparent In any line and prices in general are lower than usual for this period of the season. . . t- i FORECAST FOB SHIPPERS Wrather bureau sends the following notice to shippers: ..:. ; "Protect jiliipmenta an far north as Seattle uealnat minimum temperatures of about 8 degrees; northeast to Spo kane, 24 degrees; southeast to to Boise, 11 degrees; south to Sluklyou.- 24 de- f:reeg.

" the prospects that carryover stocks Of wool )n the United Etates on January will be-the smallest known for many years by the trade, indications point to a much Improved buying, de mand after the turn of the year. " Stocks of wool in the Pacific north, west are almost too nominal to base a market, , ' but r - nevertheless . a ' small amount of fleece is being moved each Week, and prices, are rigidly maintained. Efforts of big manufacturers to de press the price have failed at all points. A COrreSDOndent nf Th .Imirnal wlrna the following regarding the aituation at "Smaller sales of wool for the past week are reported at the local market, though considerable activity is noted in fleeces. Large sales of fine unwashed Delaines, the grade - which has here, fore i been neglected, nave fceen made. Aside from the slight price shading here and there, that Is usual in cleaning up the year's clip, dealers are letting pros pective customers go away rather than accept bids under asking prices, - "As most mills take account Of stock some time during December, they nat urally hesitate, to stock up heavily just prior to that event. The week's sales, it is estimated, have not exceeded 1.. 600,000 pounds. Of, this amount; over evu,uuu pounas are neece wools, mostly the finer grades '., u-- :!w-,i.."w "Available stocks are being- so stead ily reduced that some dealers pay they will be the smallest ever carried Into a new year. , The plan adopted In 1911 for ascertaining the total stock at the year's end will js repeated, having given general satisfactln a year ago. Each woolhouse will send chartered account ants the amount of unsold wool It holds, but - the acountants will make public only the total amount", ; ' SMALL DOWNTURN IN WHEAT Chicago Market la Nominally Lower; Argentina Helps Bears.

At the time the report -was printed in this paper, others took extra pains to discredit the news In order to help out those who were trying to' manipulate the market here, it Is known posi tively that one carload was received on Front street, and reports Indicate that in all four carloads came forward., , The marketing of so much damaged eggs of cheap Quality .was on of the big factors In putting down the price ot fresh eggs here. The same Interests who ' sent - forward the damaged Los Angeles cold storage stack have been very prominent - in quoting fictitious values for Oregon eggs in ' order to move cold storage supplies. At the present time the market for fresh eggs Is very outet, while the eold storage Is thorough! demoralised, with little prospects of any improvement durlnar the remainder of the season. Fresh stocit is generally quotes at 32c a dozen for candled goods along the street today. Filing of Case Against the Southern Faclflc Company Causes Prices to Break in New York. ' New Totk. Dec. fl. The pace set yesterday was apparently a little bit too rapid to be maintained for any great length of time In the stock market under existing conditions so after a continuance of buoyancy In the first hour prices receded sharply with the downturn belna led by Southern Pacific which presumably was under pressure owing to the suits being filed by the government for the recovery of oil lands. As indicated tn morning advices as likely to be the ease, quite a little long stock accumulated on recent de. cllnee for support and other purposes was marketed on the upturns, and the increased floating supply resulting therefrom was sufficient to produce quite a little Irregularity. There is little question but that senti ment has undergone a pronounced change for the petter and that the foreign situation shows distinct signs of clearing but today's bank statement indicates rawer forcibly that the do mestic money position is not such as would warrant a pronounced expansion In loans.
