THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL; PORTLAND, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, 1913.
ONLY ,4,000,000 BOXES OF
E DULLNESS IS
SHOWN FOR APPLES;
LOCAL TRADE QUE
Market Showing Little Activity Be
cause of. Extceme Prices That Are
Being Asked for the Best Quality;
Plenty of Poor Fruit.
, Today's Produce Trade.'
4 Egg market steady.
Chickens rule higher.
Country meats steady.
e . Apples Very quiet.
p Orange market slow.
Cauliflower trade weaker.
Hop market steady.
4 Butter prices holding.
Extreme dullness Is shown In the ap
ple trade along Front street. Arrivals
are rather heavy. Heavy shipments are
coming forward on consignment and for
the most part these are of rather poor
quality.
While extra good fruit Is not plentl
Tur there is sufficient stock available
fiere at this time to supply every need
of the trade. In fact handlers say buy
ers are not seeking the better grades
owing to the extreme prices that are
being asked.
Apple market prices have been so
high for good fruit generally through
out tho world this season that , ship
pers have been holding the local trade
up to the full limits. They figured that
they could market their off-grade stuff
here anyway and as there was a suf
ficient demand elsewhere, for the best
Quality at high prices, little of this was
shipped here unless the distributing In
terests .were assured of full values.
It is safe to say that the bulk of the
apples now being offered to tho local
trade at this time are of much poorer
uuallty than any recent season. Last
vear there waB such a g'"t of good fruu
ihat the local market was filled all -the
time uud this sold at very low prices.
EGO MARKET IS STATIONARY
No further change is shown In the
ex market situation along Front street
and prices are the same as yesterday
with fresh stock ruling between 88
4Jc a dozen. Receipts continue to in
crease. CHICKENS ARE QUOTED HIGHER
Higher prices have been forced In the
chicken trade along Front street with
supplies less than requirements. As
high as 16o has been obtained In a
limited way for hens, although the gen
eral price was firm at 14 'Ac.
COUNTRY MEATS HOLDING FIRM
Prices are stationary In the dressed
meat trade along Front street. While
there have been aulte liberal receipts
of hogs recently and at Intervals -weakness
has been shown, the price is gen
erally unchanged at 1010c.
CAULIFLOWER IS RATHER DUU
Every Indication points to a fur
ther lowering of prices for cauliflower
In the local market. Receipts are very
lieavv from local places and the added
supplies from California hurt the trade.
Accumulations generally shown.
BUTTER riHCES ARE STEADY
While In Home Quarters efforts are
helnc made to force tho price of butter
Metier because some of the interests
have New Zealand stock to sell, the gen
era! idea of the trade is that the mar
ket Is Just about able to hold its own.
SOME RAZOR CLAMS RECEIVED
Dealers reported In but nine boxes
of razor clams on .the local market this
morning. The receipts yesterday were
but four boxes, therefore offering are
Increasing slowly. Crabs are much more
plentiful.

HEAVY TO OUTSIDE
Total Sales WW Aggregate Fully 60
Cars From Western Oregon ;
Shortage in South.
Cab base shipments from Oregon this
season have been very liberal. An esti
mate of the shipments to points out
side of the state this year to date shows
a total or 50 carloads sent compared
with less than half a dozen during other
years.
in the Oswego section alone about 20
cars were shipped to points outside of
mo state: le or mese Deing irom us
wego station alone while a number of
cars were shipped from Branch, a few
miles distant.
The great demand shown for Oregon
cabbage this season has been the means
of holding prices at country points to
an unusual height and little of the
stock has therefore gone to waste, as Is
usual during most seasons.
California and Puget sound were both
heavy buyers of Oregon cabbage during
the season. Tho latter section pur
chased the bulk of the offerings. This
was due to the fact that generally a
large per cent of the supplies for that
section are brought in from California
and an tho Golden state had a very
short crop this year, the stocks had to
be mscured elsewhere.
The big surprise of the seaeon hue
been the way that the California trade
nan been bidding for Oregon cabbage.
While It has always been known here
that Oregon cabbage was far superior
to that grown in the south; the heads
being more compact and the greens of
finer texture, still the southern state has
always been loyal to its own product.

A private cable from Europe this
morning stated that a cargo of barley
sent from here had been sold there at
28s 9d. The ship is said to have cost
41 shillings, therefore the sale will
probably net the exporter $20 a ton f.
o. b, here. This low Urlle reflects the
extreme weakness shown abroad in the
market for barley.
L,ocally the barley market Is extreme
ly quiet with nrlces nominally continued
at the previous range.
The market for wheat continues very
firm with purchases of club again re
ported in the interior on the bawls of
83c a bushel tidewater truck. While
the Japanese continue to Inquire for
supplies of wheat here, no actual busi
ness is confirmed because the price of
fered does not meet the views of local
sellers.
Oats market Is extremely quiet. While
buyers are unuble to purchase for less
than quotations that have ruled for
some weeks, very little stock is needed
or purchased.

Of 170,00$
boxes of apples and 103,000 barrels of
me same iruit, ana uy tne time mat
the Deoember holdings of this year in
the Windy City are known, the shortage
will be much greater.
Considering this extrema shortage In
available supplies of apples In the coun
try at this time, the outlook for the
market la much more favorable than
had been generally anticipated. While
It had been generally expected that the
holdings would be much leas than a
?ear ago, the shortage is even greater
ban any of the trade had anticipated.
While It Is true that tho apple crop
of the country was very short this sea
son as compared1 with a year ago, it
ha been generally presumed that there
was a smaller percentage of the crop
marketed this season owing to tho high
prloes that had been in effect this year
as compared with the very low prices a
year ago.
The holdings of apples In storage
along the Pacific coast, and especially
In the Pacific northwest are much less
than generally expected, although de
tailed figures are not yet available. All
of the big districts are getting quite
well cleaned up of supplies, and in the
smaller districts there are so few ap
ples remaining for market that they
cannot be considered as much of a
factor.
