Few of the dealers . are getting as many cases as usual for this period, of the season, while the de mand is best. Eggs are selling, case count, at 19 19 Ha fiotea, with most of the business at the higher figure. Few transactions are reported for candled ; stock, i this quality being nominally , quoted at. an. advance of but too over the case count,'- ;.-.,- Considering the excellent quality of the eggs now coming forward from the oountry there is practically no need of candling at tb'a time, therefore even . the best trade is willing to purchase at mark. Country shippers are evidently ' awakened to the fact that they have been losing much money by holding their supplies off the market and are now making more frequent shipments to the wholesale trade. ; . trnrcKEXS aiib higher . .With a liberal demand and very small shipments from the country, the market for chickens is again firmer and higher in the Front street trade.

Most of the crabs that come to the Portland market are from bhoalwater bay. They are received here in barrels: Thir shipments are made every day and the crabs va alive when they reach the market. They are then put In en open crate and- placed In a big kettle of boiling water. Salt Is added for fiavar-..irken th1r ftra "en out of the boiling water, they are carefully sorted es to size and then qulcklv dis tributed to Uie various retailers.

Since then all Interests are now cooking their own rmbi., Thl has been the greatest aid in developing the sale. While Rioalwater hay is the prlnclpnt upuly point for crabs for the Portland market, shipments are received from i ir-l vukki at Uiiii-s fnuu Clutnop beach l-'int and from .Ysqulria bav, but as a ruin dealer piefer the stock from Shoal vater hay, bt-cause f lulling interests Uia- tr. more xtnalv and regular LOCAL SUPPLY SHORT li CATTLE SELL AT GOOD PRICE AT NORTH PORT Under Direction of Auctioneer Plum mer, Secretary of the Yards, Good Values Are Realized; California Interests Are Buyers.

No strong "efforts are being made by tidewater interests to secure supplies except at the lower prices they are quoting. Country Interests are hold ing stocks in a xirm grasp anu are un willing to do business at present except on their own terms. A very small amount of business has been reported rtcentiy. put practically an or. tnis nas been for the account of country mill ers. Their needs at this time are, limited but what they buy is generally at the higher prices quoted. By Homing down tne nnce or patent flour some of the big millers are hop ing to keep down the pries of wheat. Those that need supplies are' naturally desirous of lifting flour, but their strongest competitors are unwilling to see such a movement at this time. Without concerted action it would be Impossible to force an advance. The feeling In the coarse grain trade is slightly improved. Some small bus-, iness is reported in barley, but the total volume of sales la still almost too small to base a quotation. Activity in the oats market Is more pronounced, al though general buying nas not yet been resumed. WHEAT Nominal..

Potato markets along the coast are euumuiK luruier aeciuies in price and the outlook is worse than before, if such At San Francisco, Oregon Burbanks umiiueu uuwn io- ooc per cental for best offerings, and little of the bustnoss la avntlnhlA a v An . tutm t . . stock Is selling- there down to 85c a vcuiui, mg iuiimv pnes ever Known for similar quality. At Puget Sound points the market has become so clogged with offerings that it is impossible to sell more than a small per cent of the arrivals even at 65 0 060 per cental. Locally the situation Is even worse than at other points along the coast owing to the entire absence of an out let California - does not want Oregon supplies because there are more hold ings there than the trade can take care of. Arizona and Texas are able to buy potatoes closer at home at lower prices than Paciflo northwest stock can be landed there, therefore none of fhw business Is offering.

Kern, pres ident of the hotel company, left Portland today for the site of the damaged struc ture. The exact data of. the alleged dyna miting is not known, but it is believed that the structure was blown up early In January during the absence of Mr. Kern. At first tt was believed weight of snow crushed In the roof, and caused thei building's virtual collapse, but in vestigation shows that heavy timbers were hurled a distance of 60 feet In some instances, something that could be accomplished only by an explosive force under the circumstances. The roof, the whole second floor and all save one torner of the first floor collapsed, doing damage tstlmated at approximately $2000. The hotel, a substantial structure, was In the course of erection and contained 100 ro6ms. It will be rebuilt and be opened in time for the spring travel. The hotel slta Is about a mile from Welch's hotel and E 00 yards from the auto road. ... . The owners have suspicions as to the identity of the alleged dynamiters, but decline to speak concerning them until evidence of a conclusive nature Is col lected.

Heretofore it was Im possible to enforce the provisions of the present nulsanoe statutes against non-residents owing to defects In the wording. , The new ordinance, which will be submitted to the city council next week, is modeled after a similar ordinance In Los Angeles. It provides that during the first two weeks in June arid the tlrst two weeks in August of each year grass and weeds on every lot in the city shall be cut snd all other nuisances removed. Th .flieasurs further provides that when out-of-town owners neglect to comply with, the ordinance the city shall give notice of the nuisance existing, this to be published in the' olty official newspaper. The aost of the same be comes an automatic lien -against the property. Heretofore,' the- nuisance or dinance has .been ineffective - against non-residents because it did not provide for legal notice being Served upon them. "I hope tha council will pass this ordinance at once," said Deputy Sullivan today, "as it Is extremely desirable that we shall be able to operate under It be fore the arrival of summer wlth.th annual crop of weeds and "jcna.tJrrr- Promoting Its Customers Interests During its career, the United States Na tional Bank has always, labored and planned to promote the interests of its depositors and the public i You are invited to open an account with as, and receive the benefits of a thoroughly, equipped, modern, progressive and conserva. tlve bank.
