Egg market lower.
Chicken prices higher. .
Country meat firm.
Cheese at high record.
Fancy apples selling.
Smelt run much heavier
Scarcity of salmon.
Home crabs arriving.
Ordinary potatoes offering.
The prlc of cheeas today reached
the highest figure known for many
years In the Portland market when
1 sales were made, as high as 20Vc a
pound for flats. This was i for less
than case lots, cases being quoted at
20c. i
Stocks of cheese hers are ' so light
at the present time that holders are
able to secure almost any price they
ask. With the make at Tillamook ex
ceedlngly small and even this unable
to - reach the market because of the
: washouts along the railroad and the
; storms wnieh have kept the steamer
from tearing the bay, the trade here
. is famished.
Holdings of storage cheese are com-
paratively small at all points along
the coast and most of this has been
cleaned up during the last 10 days
' owing to the Inability of the trade to
secure fresh make.
The price of cheese In the east is
now so high that there Is not the
slightest fear of competition from-that
point, although It Is quite likely that
some stocks will be brought in from
the outside to fill the famished wants
- of the trade along the Pacific coast.
CELERY PRICES ARE LOWER
power prices are being named for
celery in the Front street trade with
additional' receipts from northern Cal
ifornia, Bales were reported today
from 13. SO to $4 with only a nominal
amount of business at the high point.
KIPPERED SALMON IS MOVING
Since an Astoria cannery began to
kipper salmon there and ship it to the
local market, the-demand for this fish
.has shown a big Increase. The local
product is so much better than that
formerly sold here that it is taking all
. of the demand.
; CABBAGE PRICE DUE TO RISE
A further advance in the price of
cabbage will be made at the xtart of
the coming week. Growers are now
holding the best at 2c : a pound here
which means that the next shipments
will be sold on the street at 24 a.
GRAPEFRUIT MORE PLENTIFUL
Supplies of Florida grapefruit are
now quite plentiful in the local mar
ket and the price has generally been
reduced to $5 a ease. The quality of
the fruit Is rather good and demand Is
showing an increase. ;
GROWERS -. OFFER POTATOES
Ordinary quality potatoes are being
offered slightly more freely by grow
ers to the local market -but most ot
them are holding their best quality for
higher prices. The Cafcfornia trade
'.-. continues excellent for tlje best.
BETTER APPLES IN DEMAND
For thai better grade of apples a
slight Improvement In the demand Is
Showing along Front street and prices
are being fairly well maintained. Or
dinary stock continues to show weak
ness - wfTh price shading still re-
ported.
. m .
SMALL TRADE IN HOPS NOTED
A small amount of trading Is re
. ported in the hop market here. The
Fletcher lot of 100 bales was sold et
Salem to William Brown at 20o a
pound. It is reported that several
hundred bales were purchased at Yaki
ma with McNeff Bros., of this city, as
purchasers of some of the lots. The
f rlee was not made publlo this morn

PORTLAND MARKET
Industrial and Crop News
of the Pacific Northwest
i '
With the Idea of Interesting the
growers of the Spokane district In
orchard problems Orris Dormant pres
ident of the Spokane Fruitgrowers
company, is arranging for a series of
meetings to be held In different fruit
districts, .probably, during the ' latter
part of the month and the first, part
of February.
Palouse local No. 35, Farmers' .Edu
cational and Cooperative union; - at a
meeting last week, took definite steps
toward the organization of a coopera
tive warehouse company at this place.
A committee composed of Joseph
Franzcn. H. M. Asbury. J. K. Turnbow,
J. N, Collins and N. C. MeKee, was
named to proceed with the organiza
tion. The cooperative company, which
will take over the warehouse business
now conducted by the farmers' union,
will be organized under the new co
operative law enacted by the last leg
islature. ;
W. H. Paulhamus of Puyallup will
be in North Yakima January 14, at
the convention of thee Irrigation ex
perts, who will discuss matters con
nected with irrigation farming under
the direction of the reclamation serv
ice. He will talk on phases of the
cooperative movement and take up
problems of marketing fruit crops.
At the annual meeting of the Skagit,
Wash., County Fruitgrowers' associa
tion, which will meet at Burlington,
January 18, an effort' will be made
to provide for the erection of a can
nery to care for the surplus -product
of the members. 1
In urging the necessity of the can
nery, its advocates assert the Seattle
market, where most of their product
is sold, is most unreliable. In addi
tion to the alleged unsatisfactory
manner In which business' has been
conducted in the past, the announce
ment is made that the commission
merchants of Seattle hereafter will
demand a commission of 15 per cent
instead of the 10 per cent which has
been customary in the past.
SHOWN UPON STREET
Price Is Down Another Cent a
Dozen for Fresh Candled Of
ferings; Storage Is Poor,
Further reduction of a cent a dozen
was shown today in the Front street
market for resh ranch eargs. ,j Bales
were made down to 37c a dozen for
candled goods. i ; !
Receipts continue to show an In
crease and supplies are almost plenti
ful enough at this time to dispense
with the ice house produce. There
fore cold storage interests are very
much frinhtened and all sorts of val
ues are renorted for the held stock.
Little of this is of good quality, there
fore within a short time it will dls
appear from the market on its own
account.
The strength of the chicken market
has caused the price of hens to climb
to 17c a- pound and the trade Is ex
ceedingly firm at that figure, in fact
I'as been held at that price bv a few
dealers during the last two days. Re
ceipts of chickens are only fair and
the excellent demand Is cleaning stocks
up as soon as they arrive on the street.
The demand for turkeys at the ex
treme price is less favorable. The
price was boosted to an exorbitant fig
ure and' this has curtailed the de
mand. XQRTHWE8T BANK STATEMENT

A cold snap Would be beneficial to
the fruit orchards at this time. The
warm rains have started the sap to
running and the buds to swelling, and
if the warm weather continues the
trees and vines will bloom too early.
Last season was unusually warm for
the bay section, and the prolonged dry
weather caused fruit and other decid
uous trees to shed their leaves earlier
than usual. The copious fall of warm
rain had given them renewed life at
an inopportune time. A short season
of low temperature would stop the
sao running and insure the fruit crop
against a late frost.
The Inland Empire Paper company
at Millwood, Wash., made paper this
week for the first time in several
months. The mill has been shut down
for some time while extensive altera
tions and additions have been in prog
ress, which will double the capacity.
The big paper machine) is not yet
ready for running paper and will not
be in operation for several Weeks, but
the small machine will be operated
from now on. Heavy wrappers were
made.
About 160 growers assembled at
Orange hall In Peshastin, Wash., on
New Year's eve. Ladies of the grange
assisted in making the occasion a
success.
The main speakers were Horticul
tural District Deputy Darlington and
H. Heidenhaln of Wenatchee. They
made addresses on blight Sentiment
was unanimously in favor of having
an inspector devoting his entire time
to fighting blight in the Peshastin
district. It was voted to Invite Leav
enworth to cooperate in the movement
to eradicate the disease from orchards
of the upper valley.
All growers present voluntarily
signed an agreement to contribute 25
cents per acre for bearing orchards
and 15 cents per acre for young or
chards. In this manner it is proposed
to employ an assistant for Inspector
Darlington, this assistant to devote
his entire time to the Peshastin dis
trict. SMELT APPEAR IN
J
Cowlitz Catch Greatly Increased
During Tuast 24 Honrs and .
Price Is Sliding.
There was a very liberal increase In
the catch of smelt in the Cowlitz river
".uring the last 24 hours and local re
ceipts are much heavier. Receipts for
the day were fully double those re
ceived yesterday and the price at
wholesale dropped from lOo to 80 a
pound in consequence.
This is the period of the season when
1'lsr hauls of smelt are expected in the
Cowlitz and for that reason the trade
is preparing to handle a very large
volume of supplies within the Imme
diate future.
Coming- at thlg time when there are
practically no fresh salmon to be had
by the general trade, the run of smelt
Is especially gratifying to the whole
sale and retail trade and. lastly by
the consumer.
The annual run of smelt in the Cow
litz and Columbia Is the signal for a
lowering of the cost of living. During
the period of plenty, smelt are caught
in such great numbers that the average
family can secure sufficient for a meal
for a nickel or a dime.
A few crabs were received this
morning from Bay Centers, but stocks
are far too small to supply the needs
of the trade. ,
CHICAGO WHEAT SAME
Opening and Closing Prices Are
game as Yesterday; Early
Advance Soon Lost.
Chicago. Jan. 9. At the closing of
the market for wheat options prices
were the same as at the opening ana
at the closing of yesterday. The mar
ket wa extremely dvll for the day
with a spread of but c between the
high and low for each option. There
was a small showing of strength after
the openlnsr when the advance was
made to 91 c for May and 87mC for
July, but this was lost on profit tak
ing later.
Broomhall cabled from Liverpool
that the wheat market was easier.
The American cables yesterday and
forecasts of larger world's shipments
otheiCthan America, caused some real
izing there. Tater there was covering
and speculative support and prices ad
vanced with an improved demand for
Manltobas and firmer La Platta offers.
Argentina crop advices continue un
favorable and their movement to ports
disappointing.

Abnormal conditions are ruling la
the livestock market at North Port
land. The great supplies of hogs and
cattle that have come forward of late
and the importations of Canadian cat
tle by Puget sound killers, have cte
uteo an unusual condition here in both
lines.
Swine priees at North Portland were
reduced Be to 10c for the day in the
face of extreme strength In the mar
kets east of the Rockies. Sales of
good stuff were made in the yarus
this morning with extreme at $8.0e.
This makes the local market the low
est in the entire country so tar as
leading livestock centers are concerned-There
was a sharp advance) lo the
price of. hogs at Chicago for the
value being lOo to 15o better than
jtsterday, with tops at the highest
point for the year at $8-45.
Kansas City swine prices were very
firm with an advance of 20o for the
day.
South Omaha hog priees were lifted
a dime for the day.
General hog market range:
Top killers $ 8.05
Good and light 8.0 :
Heavy 7.95
Rough and heavy 6.7607.00
beep Prices Are Salrtea,
While there was quite a good run
of mutton in the North Portland' yards
overnight, the condition of the trade
continues to reflect Improvement.
Several cars of Idaho lambs from the
Welser country were sold early In the
day at $6.56, or a nickel above the
former light flcrure.
All through the mutton market trade
is strong and former top rices are
easily reached.
At Chicago there was a strong tone
in the sheep trade for the day. prices
being up a nickel,
Kansas - City 6heep market was
strpng atan advance Of 15c for the
day.
South Omaha sheep market was weak
with a loss of 1026e for the day.
General mutton market range:
Best spring lambs $ 4.5S
Yearling wethers .......... 6.a0
Old wethers 6.26 05.60
Fancy ewes 4.25 (is 4.50
Ordinary ewes 8.00 4.50
Cattle Market Tery Quiet.
Not the faintest sign of improve
ment Is shown In the demand for oat
tie at North Portland. There wag a
small run for the day but killers al
ready have such liberal surplus that
naturally they are not inclined to pay
full former values.
At Chicago there was a strong tone
in tile cattle market for ths day, the
