The same Is truo of the Wilsons, ' V EGO MARKET TURNS WEAK Contrary to exnectatfons the egg mar ket has turned weak in' the Front street -trade. Moat sales ot candled stock ure now at ioc. Case count cannot be movqd above li ftc ana some or ine loaning Ituyera are unwilling to pay this figure. CAR FLORIDA TOMATOES IN What Is believed to be the last carload if Florida tomatoes fortWis market the present season, arrived. In. today in good condition, although aomewhat overdue. A carload of Texas stock la now rolling and-will probably arrive , a week from tomorrow. ; , GETTING CHEESE TOO HIGH - Effbrts of certain Interests to force -mi advance In the price of cheese here at a time when the fluwh make is about o be marketed, is meeting with resist ance audi this may cause repetition of the unprofitable manipulation of last year's market. Puget sound Interests have ordered Wisconsin stock because u can be landed there at about the . ama price that some are -taking for the Oregon product. NEW POTATOES RULE HIGHER Owing to the greater demand and carcity of - offerings in th south, new Mitato prices are showing an advance 'orally and general sales today- are re IKirted at 3c a pound.- Demand for old potatoes Is nominal at former figures. ROLLED OATS MOVED HIGHER - Tneal manufacturers announce an ad vance of 6O0 a barrel in the price of t oiled-oats. Case price Is 25c higher. The demand Is caused by the scarcity of oats and the higher price that has ruled .recently for the grain. BUTTER PRICES ARE STRONG Strength Is showing in the creamery fitter- trade locally. Ice cream manu facturers are using so : much of the ream arrivals at this time that the out put, of butter Is not so great as ex acted. Former prices still In effect. f " FORECAST FOR SHIPPERS : Weather "bureau sends the following .notice to shippers: Protect shipments as far jnorth as Seattle against, rjiaximum temperature f about 70' degrees;' northeawt to 8po tane, 85 degrees; southeast to Boise, 85 Megrees: south to Siskiyou, 82 degrees.

'For the purpoNp of finding exactly where the trotibln lies In so many loxe of upples being broken or the friilt dtitn eged In transit to foreign countries, tlio department of physical conditions of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange of Ihl city hus for He vein 1 months been con ducting a very cxnaiistive InvcMtlgation on the subject' of export packages for cpplus. The percentage of broken ami damaged boxes has been entirely too large, and brulned fruit In all packag'; lies been too much in evidence. Kktenalva correspotidenen lth ItH own branches in Dug lurid and Germany and with a number of Independent re ceivers In various foreign countries a well as with the principal forwarders at New York, and a compurlNon of their advices with tiia results lompiie ty various northwest fruit shipping con cerns that have done the most extensive fxport business -leads to the following definite conclusions: ' 1 First That there should 'be- an Im- firovement. in' the method of liundllnt nto and out of steamships. This mat ter, has been agitated by thorn for fiotiut time and marked improvement has al ready been made by som&carrlers. Many ether shippers 'are now Joining In the demand, and the federal authorities are, this season going to make close .investi gation of this subject, ami wo have hccil invited to cooperate with the department In their work. Second Occasionally, there Is rare lessiiuss in" lo.'idlng cars and the tiers of boxes Hpmctimes shift and drop off onto the floor space between bulkheads. Third Itoxlng can be Improved. The exchange definitely recommends that nil apple boxes, whether for domestic or for export use, lie In Accordance with tin? following standard specifications:' KndH, not less than 1II-15 Inch; sides, Inch full, made up with six penny cement nails; tops and bottoms, Inch scant, mads up with five penny cement nails. For export add a double top and bot tom, nailed on ton of tho cleats, with additional outside cleats, using seven penny cement nails. This feature may add 3 He per box expense, hut is cheaper tnan roping or wiring and adds Im mensely to the strength of the box Hnd protection of the contents against bruises. Home large shippers have been so well pleased with the continued Use of this style of package that they have adopted It for all domestic shipments as well. The exchange recommends tnat this feature be very carefully considered with a view of. adopting this style of package for the special advertised brand to be marketed by certain exchange as sociations this year. Fotirth--ln packing the tender varie ties all the outside apples should be double or triple wrapped, with the cor rugated . pad' or three sheets of blun layer board placed at both top and bot tom of box. Fifth In packing, the apples should not bevdrawn down against the ends so bard as to cause any bulge of the sides. &; ntculri, 12r; cottage, !S'!.r. UAJ1S. BACOSi. ETC.

This rate enables the farmers of this country to ship hay,-to the California market to come into competition with the the southern producers.
