ENGLISH ORDERS FOR HOPS ARE COMING AT EXTREME QUOTATIONS
PRICE OF CHICKENS IS
BROKEN WITH HEAVY
INCREASE IN SUPPLY
Front Street Offerings Are Greatly
Increased Since Weakness Devel
oped in Trade; Large Buyers Are
in Bearish Mood.
There was a very sharp breuk in the
price of chickens along Front street
during the last 24 hours. Hen price
dropped a. cnt to ltfc a pound and the
price of springs lost tiom 1 to 2c t
pound.
The extreme demand that wan recent
ly shown in all lines of chickens and
especially tor heavy hens anU large,
kprlngs, dlsappeaieu lather suddenly
and left in its place nothing tiut ex
treme weaaness.
This seems to always be the signal
for a sharp increase In offerings from
the country for no sooner had tue mar
ket begun to weaken before there was
a noticeable increase in offerings. All
of the biK buyers stopped their opera
tions and the loss In price was tlio ie-
""one-M the special features of the
poultry trade at this time is that while
there is an active call from some of the
smaller Institutions which are seeming
ly willing to stand a higher price than
tin big buyers are offering, wholesalers
rerue to sell them. Thin was explained
by two of the leading interests Oy the
fact that Front street has received a
number of bank checks from irresponsi
ble buyers recently tliart. were returned
for the lack of funds. This has natural
ly made the street very cautious and
most interests are therefore willing to
accept a lower price und obtuln their
money than tell at a higher price und
probauly receive nothing. Where checks
are returned for lack of funds the whole
saler is the loser, but tne country ship
per is now compelled to bear tne bur
den by the lower prices forced.

Market for eggs is firm again along
Front street, and best stock is quoted
generally at 36c a dozen. Receipts are
small and the temporary lull in the
buying has passed away. Eastern stor
age firm at 3Uc today.
COUNTRY HOGS ARE LOWER
Lower prices were named in the Front
street trade for country-killed hogs dur
ing the last 4 hours. Bules were re
ported no higher than 1-c even for a
small supply while the bulk of the busi
ness was V4c below this.
KAISIX PRICES TOO HIGH
Owing to tlie extreme high price be
ing: quoted for raisins by the California
growers' combine, disaster is threatened
to holders. With a very heavy carry
over from last year this year's prop,
while light, will be sufficient to' take
are of all requirements of the trade.
Two recent advances of He each have
been made in the price.
jc
VEAL STOCKS VERY SCARCE
Stocks of country veals are rather
searce in the Front street trade, and
prices are holding firm at 15 Vie gen
erally for best offerings. Yesterday the
receipts were so small that not half of
the wants of the trade was filled.
CABBAGE PRICES ARE MIXED
With some dealers reporting a short
age and with others telling of a glut
oiifferingH, opinions vary much regard
ing the standing of the cabbage trade
at this time. Quotations are named from
1 li to 2i4o a pound by Jobbers, it is
reported that a erled from a Willa
mette valley point remains unsold on
the track.
OMOX TRADE HOLDS FIRM
While handlers agree that onion mar
ket prices will probably recede within
the near future, the present market is
lather firm. A few days ago a car
load came forward from California ow
ing to the scarcity of the local stock.
Sales were made at 9 1.50 Sf 1 .75 a cent.il.

There Is again a rirmer milling de
mand for wncat and activity is ome
what more pronounced with purchases
of club almost general t 80c tide
water track basiR and bluesiem
at 87'88c a bushel. One dealer waa
quoting 80 c for limited lots of
club and as high as 8c for bluestom
and claimed that he had not purchased
anything at the higher figure.
BuNinesa at country points in again
developing. CoriBiderable interest is
shown in the market by Interior miller
aa well as by tidewater interests. The
only export business that continues to
pass Is for the account of those wltu
nearby ships still to load.
The market for oats and barley re
mains quiet with practically no change
in quoted prices.
Regarding thewheat trade in that sec
tion, the LewiBton Tribune says:
"Yesterday witnessed considerable
activity in the grain markets, the pur
chases being made on the basis of about
70c for turkey red wheat Hfi 11.16 for
Lj.he best brewing barley. Several large
lots were included in the deals, the
Pink Stone wheat crop of 14.000 bushels
having been acquired by the Vollmer
Clcarwater company, the price being
above the 70c market, and the Madden
estate barley of 3200 sacks was pur
chased by T. 8. Ward of the Alexander
company, the price being $1.15 per hun
dred. "The Pacific Coast Elevator cempany
yesterday purchased three carloadH of
club wheat, two cars being In the ware
house at Myrtle and the third car at
Kendrlck. The price paid for club yes
terday was In the neighborhood of
66 tyc. The Kerr-Glfford company was
active on the prairie yesterday and in
the aggregate secured about 4000 sacks
of barley, the price ranging from tl to
$1.06. The barley purchased is stored
in the warehouses at Vollmer Nezpcrce,
Ferdinand, Cottonwood and fcenn.
"The Vollmer-Clearwater company
was also active in the selling market
yesterday and during the day nego
tiated the sale of 7600 barrels of flour,
the product of the Lewlston mttTs. The
flour will be shipped out at once, its
destination being China. The company
Is bringing in a large quantity of the
best turkey red wheat from the Mon
tana districts. A large per cent of the
wheat will be used in the manufacture
of the best flour, but a sufficient quan
tity will ba reserved to supply farmers
with seed, there being considerable de
mand for the Montana turkey red for
seeding purposes."

Those Retaining Best Quality Are
Asking Above the Market.
Pendleton. Or.. Sent. 17. Pendleton's
wheat market has reached the situation
where almost every farmer in the coun
ty who still has his crop is holding for
a few more cents than he can now
get. The buyers are quoting 70c for
AJ club, but those who still have such
wheat are waiting for an advance and
those willing to tuke 70c have wheat
that is a little smutty or inferior and
the buyers will not take it without dis
counting it. At the sale several weeks
ago when nearly 1,000,000 bushels
changed hands at 70c, nearly all of the
farmers who wanted to unload at that
price took advantage of the occasion.
Other points in the inland empire have
not sold so much of their crop and the
buyers aro taking ths A-l stuff at those
places.

A VERY FIRM PRICE
Latest Cables From Abroad Tell
Loral Interests to Continue J3uy
Ing; Heavy Sales, Are .Reported
at Extreme Values. 1
Cables from England received by local
parlies today Indicate that the forth
coming official estimate of the hop crop
of that country will indicate an output
of 284,000 hundredweight. In no quar
ter is the crop estimated even to 300,000
hundredweight and in some of the lead
ing centers the word comes that the
total will not be above 260,000 hundred
weight. According to Barth at Nueren
berg, the continental hop crop is now
estimated at 673,000 hundredweight,
which is almost 600,000 hundredweight
smaller than a year ago.
Kngllsh Interests are heavy buyers
of Oregon hops at this time and sales
of several thousand bales were again
reported for that account during the
last 24 hours. Purchases are reported
generally fn;om 20c to 21c a pound with
talk of business at 21 Vic The latter
cannot be fully confirmed.
Kv.n tha most bearish of- the local
hop buyers are not flopping to the bull
side as a result of the very persistent
buying at extreme high prices by Kng
llsh interests, It is safe to say today
that higher prices have been paid for
a greater amount of hops by English
interests than ever before in the history
of the trade. All of the local dealers
having foreign connection have orders
to purchase hops on the present market,
but those connected only with American
buyers report general Inactivity. Amer
ican brewers continue to talk bearish
and it will likely take a further stiff
advance In the foreign as well as the
Pacific coast price to force them to real
ize the gravity of the situation.

"Picking of the new crop has
grespd satisfactorily in nearly all sec
tions. New York state growers are
about winding up the harvest this week,
and It is believed that the total yield
will be nrouml 36,000 bales. Not many
of the hops have been baled as yet, but
dealers have purchased a few hundred
bales at about 30c, and that price is
now bid freely, with higher rates gen

PEACH MARKET LOW
EVERYWHERE WITH A
TRADE NOW GLUTTED
Local Values Are Generally Lower
and Yakima Is Frantically Offer
tag Fancy Elbertas Down to 25
Cents a Box Today.
The peach market in In rather bud
shape with sales from 26c to SOc a box
along Front street. Bulk of th busi
ness is shown at 36 40c for good stuff.
The peach market in broken wide open
at all Pacific northwest points. At
Yakima today fancy Elbertas were be
ini freely offered at 26c a box, but
considering the express rate and han
dling charge, the Portland market was
equally as low.
The market Is not receiving quits ss
fanoy stuff as formerly and this may
be one of the reasons for a slowing up
In the demand. The early Crawford
He.ason, is over and Elbertas have), been
at their best for some time. Late
Crawfords have not yet made their ap
pearance to any considerable extent.
Trading in the peach market to date
this aeaeon has already been a third
greater tlmn during any entire previous
year. This was not due to any jxeat in
crease in the crop, but to the fact that
outside markets absorbed but few car
loades of Pacific northwest offerings.
There has not been a good market for
peaches at any point in the country
since the northwest crop ripened, there
fore no outlet was shown.

Cattl Market Is Blow,
At the low prices recently in effect
the cattle trade at North Portland start
ed rather slow today. There was only
a fair run hut killers were slow hid
ders. Too much real poor stuff lias
been coming forward recently and kill
ers are naturally bearish in their views.
It would do the cattle market much good
and save shippers considerable loss if
they would hold their supplies back for
a while, loo mucn cattle nan neen red
the trade recently and few killers are
In a position to take care of more than
a very limited Surplus owing to the ex
treme high cost of feeding at this end
of the line.
Cows and heifers continue In best re
quest and relatively are bringing more
than steers. Bulls are also in good
call.
