Receipts'-of poultry are Increasing

able lack of Snap in the general trade.
Kven turkeys, which have been In rather
Uberal request with limited arrivals up

offerings. While sales are still being

' . the market lacks the snap in buying, so
? prominently shown heretofore. ; ; .;
: i: ' (Somewhat mors liberal supplies' of
' ducks are coming forward. - The market
. ; . U-rather quiet, owing to the fact that
; ft the Chinese lia,ve not been on the street
, in any great numbers during recent

of ducks here, the market is naturally
''i Qulet owing to their absence. ; v ,

A -very good tone Is showing In, the
'- local-hog situation' for country killed
offerings. Receipts alone the street are
extremely limited, and the price Is held
firm at 12a a pound. Veals are weak at
former prjeea. , .
, ' CUTTING BUTTER PRICES ;
X While general, quotations on .butter
wre-vahowing : no change,it is reported
' that some of the leading makers are re
ducing --their quotations about - 2o a
v ' pound.-: The weakness is due to the ea
' ' aler feeling in the south, as well aa tbs
' , JTear of foreign shipments.
f. " PEACH MARKET; VERY POOR.
I J Extremety poor tone Is showing in the
' . market for peaches. Holdings' along
. the street i continues very heavy... One
. J' pleading .house reports the sale of a big
: able oft fruit of good jalitvai;. to
50e a box.
ONIONS. ARE VERY SCARCE
v Supplies of onions along; the street
'" are very scarce. Growers continue to
. bold, and even the recently, advanced
quotations nave ranea io loosen mora
'than a nominal amount of stock. 'Job
bing prices' therefore firmer,
TRADE HERE ' TODAY
Trade Is Stagnant : With the Prices
Quoted Nointnallr Lower; ' Re-
. ' porta Indicate That Wg, Interests
Are in Combination. ' -
There is a very quiet tone In the hop
trade and values are generally consid
ered lower. - Titers ts sn almost . total
lack of business available at the mo
ment, and it would be extremely hard
to say what the exact price is today.
-Nominally '-the market, has beoa
placed' at flac at pound for bast quality
offerings by (the local trade) but ther
seems to be .little , desire - to take bold
even at this helaht. :.
Foreign, markets ' continue - rather
neglected and there are no reassuring
cable from abroad to atimulate the
market here. - It appears as if triers (s
a concerted action among leading inter
ests to .break the price of hops, v Most
of the Oocal Interests have old their
speculative purchases, -therefore are not
desirous of high values at this time. -
In some quarters it Is asserted that
there la a combination . among leading
world's interests to hold off purchases
oi nop until ine price-nere arops iq
20a a pound. Whether this is so or not
cannot be confirmed, but it is a fact
that many of the leading interests are
working very close together and-whenever
a grower offers hops at Salem it
is - instantly known- at - Portland , by
means of the long distance telephone.

CRAB FIGHT IS WAGING
i A rather fierce fight Is waging for
control of the crab trade of this section.
'Values are being cut by some of the ex
clusive crab houses, and this has caused
jVea-ular wholesaler fish Interests to join
the fight v Prices are now evwvlower
-than a. year ago In some quarters.

The scarcity of alfalfa hay Is causing
much concern among tidewater Interests,
and bids are higher. Even these are not
sufficient td Induce general offering by
the interior, for the very good reason
that stocks Ahere are much lighter, than
had been generally anticipated.:
Bids for No. 1 alfalfa nere nave c-een

in the hay market and timothy la show

changes in tne price are innuuncau uoi a.
There Is a mixed tone In the wheat
trariat. ITne noma time Jacan haa been
endeavoring to purchase club wheat at
extreme low prices, both, here and on the
Sound, .a As a rule these value ware be.
low what intarasts here had been bidding
for milling account. The result is for an
Immediate small supply. Japanese buy
ers have ol vanced their blda a cent a
bushel. This is the extent of the
strength In the trade. The Oriental call
is confined entirely to club and red fife;
the latter being; about Ho lees than the
fTher,general foreign situation In the
tri la atlUf very weak. Insofar
as cargoes sre concerned, there is no de
mand whatever. No recent sales have
been reported by Pacific Northwest par
ties. uoneiaering inia; uiauiK. jiurry
caused by the Japanese business is of
very small moment, because It would

another big run for the day, totala be

The strength of the market for. Jon
athan apples continues an3 prices sre
very firm. Practically all of, the big
stocks of the Pacific northwest . have
already .been cleaned, up, acordlng to ad
vices received today by the Northwest
ern Fruit Exchange from -its affiliated
organizations, A wire from 'Wenatchee
says that all the Jonathans of that sec
tion have been shipped and there are no
more to offer.-.. . -; ,
Bids for Jonathans are firm at 31.30
to 31-40 a box. f o,,b, shipping points,
but. the- small lota remaining - have
caused selling agencies to ask a nickel
more than the extreme prices being bid.
While the entire apple crop of' the
Pacific oast was very short thts season
t.ie decrease In offerings of Jonathans
has been moat noticeable .. Probably
this is due mors to the very extensive
demand that has been a constant and in
sistent demand for Jonathana and price
have advanced almost every day during
that period. Now with the season for
this variety closing,., the demand ,is
stronger than ever.
There - is- a rather good tone - all
thrcue-.t the world'a apple market at this
time. Domestic markets,. with the tos
slbls exception of the southwest, and
the European trade have alike shown
wonderful .strength. ' While there have
been more liberal receipts abroad and
this has In a measure affected prices,
such a- course is always expected when
ever the movement ot fruit bcqmes gem

The pear market continues very
strong ' abroad . and sales of Oregon
Comioe are reported in the London mar
ket at 32.60 J.25 for half boxes, while
Boso are selling- at $1.752.00 for simi
lar sised packages. Considering; the
enormous supplies of pears which have
reached the European markets of late,
