HOP GROWERS' FRESH EGGS SCARCE HERE WITH PRICE AT n Murket Along Front Street Is Not Getting Its Requirement at the Moment and Storage Interests Are Willing to Keep Cleaned Up. Today's Froduca Trad. Krk market firmer. Chu8Q and butter firmer. Hopx grain Ntrngth. Some proviuions. lower. Heavy shipments of grapes. Peach and pear trade better. Home improvement for apples. Chickens remain quiet. Fresh eges are a very scarce article in the local market and the trade is holding the price exceedingly firm at S6c a dozen for carefully candled Moods. While there Ut a report that a cent above thin Is being obtained In limited lots, this cannot be fully con firmed. Leading Front street handlers continue to offer what supplies they have at 35c. v There Iiuh heen a noticeable falling off in arrivals of ranch ckks In the wholesale Hcction during the lant few lays The demand Is IncreRMing and l w handlers are securing their full re quirements ut tlie moment. The .strength of the market Is further helped by the fact that some of the leading importers of eastern slock have about decided to discontinue further purehasss there for awhile and ailow their present holdings to clean up. It is likewise stated that storage egtf prices in the eaet are now so high that further purchases would force un ad vance in the price here. This cannot le accomplished until there has been a similar movement of values on ranch Klock. At the present time there Is a ii( ferential of 5c a dozen between the price of best storage and ranch goods both at wholesale and retail. Most cmiMimrrs ure quite willing to pay this ill I Y r nti.il. therefore the c all for fresh couds is much more pronounced than it lus been. GRAPH MAKKKT IS LOADED While there is quite a fair demand for grapes nt prevalllnK prices, the local market is rather well loaded with I'fferlngs. Some of the .tork from southern Oregon -while showing- quality is showing such a poor pack that it is hard to dispose of at any price. Not only rio the cvute-s contain many pounds of fruit less than California offerings, but the pack is poor. APPLES ARK MOVING BETTER Hetter movement of apples is shown In the local market with a lesser sup ply .of first class peaches. The ex treme top price available here at the present time is $1.75 for fancy Griiven stctns. A small amount of Spitzenbergs Is coming forward but the quality is not good. CLING PEACHES SELL II Kill fling -pruches ore in good demand to day with hales along the street at 65e, a box generally. The entire peach trade is better with Crawfords and Klbertas ranging from 40c to 65c, according to quality. TOMATO MARKET LS M'KAKKR Weak r feclina is shown in the local tomato trade. Some of the offerings arc of rather li.ferior quality and this Is hurting tin- general market. .Sales from 2c to 60c a box with the bulk going at 40c. Arrivals Inert-using. PEAR MARKKT RILES FIRMER Firmer tone Is forced in the local pear mul'krt. Some Bartb-tls are being Drought out of storage with the best offering ranging from 85c to $1 a box. A few Kinall shipments of fall pears are arriving, hut there is not sufficient to liimly establish quotations. 1JACON PRICKS ARK REDICED Price of ttie better grade of baron id showing u reduction in the local market with the extreme lop today at 28o a pound. Hams arc down 1-jc a pound from former figures, while lard Is off i c. Fresh meat values are unchanged except for pork loins, which are- frac tionally higher.

The first apple cider of the xeason has been received, and the pump kins are coming forward in large sup ply. Cranberries huve made their ap pearance and all of the fall fruits wiU soon be available. The initial shipment of apple cider of the season came forward from HooJ Klver and created Joy among the trad. The price whs placed at 22c to 30e a gallon, or about the same as a year agu. However, the market is firmer than t that time and it is quite probable that an advance will be forced In quotation. First arrivals of cider showed exceed ingly good quality, but an improvement may be expected from day tu day, or until the fruit is fullv matured. Hood River eider is now getting a reputation throughout the Pacific northwest and It is likely that within a short time tlie central western states will lie in- I vaded.- People in the east really have not yet tasted cider as it should be. The Oregon product is as much better than the so called product of other sections an Ore gon apples stand as to quality. Wormy Hpple are barred by leading cider in terests of this state. Tlie fnilt must bo Hound and of good quality. Kvery apple Is thoroughly washed before being dried and ground. T Seven? Losses Are Shown by Op tions AVitli Foreign Trices Generally Showing Loss.

The hop market is strong but not active. The trade seems to Je making an effort to recover its breath. While there has been a further sharp advance In the price abroad in answer to some of the recent sensational price rises here, still foreign Interests r seemingly keen to take hold than they were a few days ago. This Is by no means attributed to any weukness in the situation, merely a breathing spell such as Is shown by the trade at intervals when the price moves too fast. Every cable received from Europe gives further confirmation to recent re ports of a smaller output than had been anticipated. As baling operations con tinue the shortage becomes moro appar ent. There was a rumor today that an op tion on 2O00 bales of hops had been taken by a local dealer for English ac count at 30c a pound with cash advance of $1000 to bind the sale, but nowliero could the report be ' confirmed in tlie least. Most of the leading dealers had not heard of the affair. All Pacific coast markets have been tied up as a result of the desire of hold, ers for more money. Few are now will ing to sell below 30c and some that talked about letting go at that figure yesterday if tho market should reach that figure, are today withdrawing the'.r supplies from sale, indicating that they arc asking at least 3oc Several sales were reported here dur ing the last 24 hours at 2U(i 2ti Mm: :i pound, but generally speaking tlie-a were In sections where growers wee not fully Informed upon tlie market.
