Best of the Season to Date; Case

Eg-gpi r firmer.

Hop deman4 continues;
Butter shortage felt.
Cheese very firm.
Country hog-g lower.
Teal market steady. ,
Apple prices noWing.
XrOwer asparagus prices.
On every side strength Is shown In
the egg situation, v Prices along the
wxtst are generally firmer and -higher
and the-outlook is seemingly good for
a continuance of present conditions.
la, th lo?al market stocks of eggs
are rather scarce. 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. Values were
Eenerally lifted c a round during the
wt n nours. Hens are selling at 17o.
LITTLE BUTTER IS AVAILABLE
, ; .;.;v:. .-,., ,-.
Although strenuous efforts are being
made by selling interests to secure
stocks of butter ar other Pacific north
west points, offerings continue less
than ths demand. Some supplies will
train bo brought forwaid from Cali

Crabs are becoming a more popular
food every day, und the Knle has mote
than doubled within the last two years
There are: several sections where crabs
are . obtained In larger numbers than
S "where. and it-is hut natural that
fishing intercuts shoutd bo most exten
sive there. 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. By tha
t Una they arrive in the retail ahops
they have been cooked less than a day.
therefore are of excellent quality.
ln to t few vears aizo thn er.h.

iuer ss mucn complaint regarding
Quality, until one of the big wholesalers
of Portland began to Import this stock
a tvs and cooked It here. 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

The wheat trade is completely dead
locked. 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.

Bent on unearthing further evidence
in his search for the rerson or persons
whom it is suspected dynamited the
New Mount Hood hotel On Salmon river
near the old hatchery, C W. 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. Prior to the alleged blowing up of
the hotel, a bridge across the Sandy
river Just above the mouth of the Zlg
eag river was dynamited. This struc
ture had been constructed by tlta Mount
Hood Improvement club, and will be re
built this spring. i

ATTHE NON-RESiDENTS
Anticipating the annual wall that
reaches the city hall one account of the
weed and grass nuisance, Jucputy City
Attorney Ray Sullivan has prepared an
ordinance which he is confident will
enable the police force this coming
summer to be of great assistance in aid
ing th city beautiful movement by
compelling the removal Of grass, weeds,
and other nuisances from lots owned by
non-residents. 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
