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.

9 The wants of the Christmas trade
will be well taken care ot In the whole

age apparent In any line and prices in

Uoldlngs in United States Unusually
Limited ( Effort of Ills Interest
to Depress Trade Ha?e No Effect
Upon rrlce. T ' '
J With. " 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.
Chicago, Dec. II. There was a frac
tional downturn of wheat prices at the
closing of the market today. Condition
of the foreign trade waa the principal
factor although increasing stocks at
primary points were an influence for
the bear account
News from Argentina was favorable
for the harvest and this caused sell

EGGS FROM BLAZE IN

tf Angeles Supplies From Ice House
: Destroyed by Fire Are Factor
. in Raining lrlces in Fresh Goods
Recently, ' ', ",'
' Pull confirmation has been made by
local dealers regarding the report
printed In The Journal some time ago
that damaged Stocks of eggs from the
hoi Angeles cold storage firs would be
marketed in this city. u v -
. 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. ' i :

The wheat market Is firmer for quel
Itv and bid for club are itinera! today
at 7e a bushel tidewater track basis.
This is an advance of a cent from what
some have been paying during the last
4S nours, aunougn miners genera"
have been bidding this price for . sev.
eral days.
Desire of the milling fraternity for
wheat supplies is keeping the market
in vary aood snana Here, uiuestem is in
best demand with 3o being freely of
fered, This too is an aovance in some
bids. ' 'V. ' .' i. ; !
There Is a aulet tone In the barley
market and bids generally are inactive
at tn a ton for No. feed. Rolled Is
selling a dollar a&ove this while as a
rule there is a differential of fUO a
ton. - . -.f
There Is a steady but slow trade In
the oats market. Bids for the day 'are
general at !25.0d2S.60 for No. 1 feed,
milling oats being quoted from 60c to
$1.00 a ton above this.
No change is shown la the hay mar
ket trsde. valuea being stationary at
the same height the market has peen
ruling at for some days.
Patent flour is gaining strength, but
beyond a little talk among millers of a
probable advance In the future, nothing
definite is known of any immediate
change. Oriental business is quiet ow
ing to the lack Of steamer room. Or
ders are coming but cannot be con
firmed on account of the lecic or steam
era.
