FANCY SOUTHERN BERRIES A straight carload of extra fancy strawberries from Louisiana came for ward to the street today, the fruit be ing in excellent shape. The shipment came in the best condition of the season to dale. It was brought in by Peurson Page Co. Priced at 13.75, or about 80c pound. . C.l LIFORXLV BERRIES BETTER Shipments of California strawberries are showing., better quality. One fine lot of Florin fruit came forward yes terday to Dryer. Bollani & Co.. and was sold at II a crate, or 20c i a pound box. NEW. POTATOES EASIER There is an easier feeling In the trade for new potatoes. The market is gen erally quoted at Sr6c a pound, al though garnets are selling up to !gf7c, Quality is improving. CABBAGE MARKET TO RISE Owing to the scarcity f cabbage, in the local market and the higher prices in the south, sales are being made at higher prices. A further advance Is expected during the coming week, when a carload will arrive from Los Angeles. fEAS AHRNOT SO FIRM ' Weaker feeling is shown in the mar ket for garden peas. Receipts from the south are greatly increased and prices generally are ruling around 7c a pound. Some of the stock .is overripe. HOOD RIVER GRASS SELLS While the general market Is weak snd dragging, there is an excellent call for asparagus from Hood River owing to fha Yfll0nt nitalltv f nfferine-.

CROP ADVICES AND 11 NOTES OE PACIFIC NORTHWEST Contracts on New Crop Hay lielni; Made in Interior; . Kiiterjirlse Fanner Going Into Dairying; Big Cattle Heal Honed. , Silver Lake, Or.-wjjurltig the past week William Ivlttredgo has boen liotig some business. He 1ms contracted with Charley Pitcher for 300 tons of hay to be cut and put tip the coming summer. And with r. A. C.fuber for 20U tons. Th price Is 4 Per ton in the stack. Kiti redge has the privilege of - the pasture after the hay is stacked, -lie has also rented H. N. Peterson's apices for two years. These are knowifras the Alex; Baxter place and the SO field south. - , Enterprise, Or. -A new departure for homesteaders In this' county will 18 taken this summer in the' Chesnlmnus district, about 30 miles northeast of Enterprise. They are going extensively into dairying. Thus they believe they can make their claims profitable from; the first and can get -on their feet by the time they prove up. .., . , Milton, Or.-j'Alfalfa, hay 'growers !n the Hudson.' flay country are looklna forward to. a big crop this season and expect the first cutting to come about the first of J una. as usual this year, despite the late season, according to former Mayor IX .J. Kirk, who was transacting business in Milton last Wed nesday. Mr. Kirk says the alfalfa stands about 14 inches high row, and Is coming along nicely. Growers all ex pect large yields. " Silver' Lake, Or.-One f the largest cattle deals to take place In this coun try for some time was consumated last Saturday when Charley Pitcher delivered 6t head or cattle to the Jameson Bros. The price was 140 per. head, and every thing born before January 1, 1SH3, was counted. This Is the highest price ever paid for a bunch of mixed rattle in this county. While It is ,a good thing for the stocaraiser it makes the price or meat to the consumer",aTter adding a profit for two or three middlemen, al most prohibitive. Frank and William Jameson started the cattle to Klamath Marsh Sunday, Enterprise, Or. Two logging roads 'will be built by timber Interests In the western part of the county this season, It is announced. The George Palmer Lumber company will build into Smith mountain timber,' starting from the O.-W. R. & N. line about two miles east of Rnndowa. This road will extend some 10 or 15 miles up Howard creek. Jt will be built to provide timber for the mill at La Grande when the supply In the Looking Glass district is ex hausted, which will be .in the near fu ture. The other road Is to be built by the Nlbley-Mimnaugh Lumber company from Wallowa up Whiskey creek to tim ber holdings of ' the company in the: nortb.V. This company Is in somewhat the sarrm situation as the Palmer com pany. The timber now being drawn froiti Is 'nearly ; exhausted and the company has to reach out for new suonltes. It has been acquiring timber land for some time in the north and now will bee n cutting it before long. wtj 4 " 1 1' o, vi. .... nrxivn BilU UUJ Tnnnff r.l llrn.il las KVIrlnt. itlurh f r. . V .

There Is a weaker ' feeling in the cheese trade and prices are down He a pound from former figures, " This places the Jobbing prices here today generally at; Twins and triplets, 16c; daisies, 17c! Young America, 18c per pound. . f " , The drop in cheese market prices here is due directly to the increased output Reports from Tillamook, Coos Bay, New berg and other Oregon points Indicate that the production is growing very fast. While the output Is still far below that of last season ktr tnis-period owing to the earlier start then, the greater mini ber of factorles'in'operation and the In creased facilities will likely bring the to tals for the season to a greater figure than a year ago. , The-market for cheese In the east Is firm. Wisconsin stock cannot be land ed here on the basts tf today's markets them at less than 17c a pound and with the two quotations so close together it is not likely that the eastern atock will be brought forward. , ... Some of the eastern packers received a hard Jolt last season as a result of their attempts to neat down the local market hv 'bringing in the eastern stock and it Is quite possible that they will not care to repeat the performance at this time.

Wheat market closed 'i to Sc a bushel lower than yesterday, with the bears in control all day.

Until they get out they. are not likely to cir culate the more , bullish news that is now available. . There was a aeneral advance in for eign markets for the day, on account of the rise here yesterday. Rroomhall cabled from Liverpool that wheat opened with shorts covering and tiricesrVi to 4d higher, with May leading on .the strength In America, and Winnipeg and the strbng close in Buenos Ayres.
