DEMAND- FOR POTATOES OFFERED MORE FRELY AND MARKET IS EASIER Slightly Decreased Demand ' Is Showing Here and Values Are About Nickel Off Later Mar. ket Cause of Concern. With somewhat greater supplies of fering from home as well as Idaho anil Washington point, there Is a slightly easier reeling in the potato trade here, although the price change amounts to no more, perhaps, than a nickel a cen tal. As yd the local stock is not show ing sufficiently good quality to bring extreme values. Uahos are seiling at $1.40 generally, Oregon $1.251.35, and Washington $1.35 for best Talc Imas. ' farmers are beginning to offer po tatoes from the local section direct to retailers in a limited way, but as sizes are generally small there Is not much Inclination to take hold, especially when better sizes are obtainable from other sections at practically the same prLe. Tito fact that California has a very good i;roi of potatoes this season, as regard's uuailty and quantity, is caus inif vome concern among the trade here, becauno even with a short crop at homo, unless there Is a good out side demajid later in the season, there will be a surplus here. EXiU MARKET IS FIRMER. Market for eggs aloug Front street Is showing increased strength, and, while no change has been made in the general selling price for extras at 36c a dozen, there are forecasts of - an early advance. HALIBUT COMES BY EXPRESS. For the first time since the express companies were forced to advance their rates on halibut shipments from the north, shipments came that way this morning. The companies have again lowered their rates. TOMATO SUPPLIES ARE GOOD. Quite liberal supplies of tomatoes are shown on the local market. Receipts have Increased materially during the laxt few days. The price has been generally ruling at 30c to 40c today, according to quality. CELERY MARKET IS WEAKER. With continued heavy supplies of celery coming forward, the local mar ket I weaker, and In most Instances lower. While a few lots are still selling up to 75c a dozen, the bulk of the business is between 40etc. OYSTERS SCARCE AND HIGH. Great scarcity of oysters continues In the local market. Native stock is so siarce and high at Olympia that only the shelled stock is being sold here. Oystermen are using the shells to restock the beds. UllIKF NOTES Or THE TlvAXK. Chlotnn market outlook is- not good because of the liberal stocks carried over from lat week. Country-killed hogs anT veals re main ciulet at former prices. Mutter market Is Just holding its own. with some talk of a reduction on the sound. Supplies tf local Concord grapes are increasing, but demand Is good at for mer price. SHIPPERS' WEATHER NOTICE.

Low Prices Are Forced Shippers Continue to Send Forward- The peach trade la a very dragging affair along Front street at this time. Ileceipts are still quite liberal but demand is at low ebb. This Is due primarily to the fact that quality is generally lacking In present market offering. Few of the peaches now coming for ward have any taste, most shipments being flat Some recent arrivals spoiled even before they reached the market and repacking has been found necessary in nearly all Instances. Sales of local peaches ahe therefore ciLBeuinniy siow witn tne bulk of the business around 40c today. Some ex tra rancy California clings are still bringing as high as V5c a box, but even for this quality the bulk of the busi ness Is not above 65c and is slow at that figure. Receivers are anxious to cloe the season and have so notified shippers, but tho latter continue to send stuff forward, even though the prices ob tained are low.

IS CAUSE FOR CONCERN AMONG THE KILLERS Desperate Efforts Being Made to Secure a Surplus for the Future but Country Holdings Available Are Said To lie Very Small. Extreme scarcity of mutton is pre dicted by some of the leaders of the meat trade for the coming winter. Kven at this time available supplies of mutton in the hands of killers is limited and while the latter are mak ing desperate efforts to add to their holdings by direct purchases in the country, instead of through the local livestock market, the situation is crit ical. According to latest advices from the country, holdings of mutton there available for market are exceedingly scarce and the outlook is for higher prices for all offerings. This is es pecially true of ewes and lambs. facking interests ' are, inereiore, holding their mutton values rather firm, with some forecasting an early advance all through the market. Chicago Wheat Has Fair Advance After the Start Chicago, Sept. 28. Wheat closed lc up. In many respects It was a remarkable wheat trade. The early dip to $1.08 for December and $1.15 for May caused by the weak and lower Liverpool cable. From that point both months advanced straight to $1.09 and $1.16. There was a period of reaction before midday in anticipation of a big increase in the visible. When the figures were posttd at 8,500,000 bushels Increase the mar ket had only about a half cent dip and in a few minutes was on an up turn close to top figures of the morn ing prices, holding a half cent or more over Saturday. TMere was a display of strength on corn early with prices up to 70 c for December and 72 c for May. Mar ket had a weakening tendency late in the session and prices are back around 60469c for December and 72Vsc for May. The weather over corn belt Is most favorable for ma turing crop. The oat market acted with com. Local bull interests were active in the market early on the theory of re newal of export sales, but no large business claimed late In the session.

APPLE PICKING STARTS Hood River. Or- Sent. 28. Apple picking in Hood River valley has be gun in earnest. About zuuo picaers. sorters, wipers and packers are en gaged in the harvesting or tne iooa River apple crop that will total 900,000 boxes. Several Improved apple grad ing, machines have been invented dur ing the past year and are now being used in the large orchards. One of these machines win take tne place or approximately four people. The apple crop is earner mis year than in former years on account of the long dry spell during the latter part of the summer. Gravenstetns nave all been gathered and the most of them have been shipped to eastern points. Ben Davis are now being picked and packed for the Alaska trade. Kings and Jonathans, the early fall apples, are extra large this year and are now being packed out -and hauled into the warehouses and storage plants at the rate of about 5000 boxes per. day.J which will be materially increased as the season advances. More care is being taken this year in the packing of the fruit, only the very best apples will be wrapped and packed for the eastern and export trade. A large quantity tnat have neretorore round their way into the markets as cooking apples and "C" grades, will be taken to the vinegar plant and cider factory that will be operated day and night in order to consume the lower grades of fruit. Special -pains is being taken this year to place the better grades of fruit into storage as soon after they are picked as possible. Experiments made by chemical cold storage plants of Hood River In previous vears has proven that In order to obtain the best results in the preservation of the ap ples it is essential that the apples be placed into storage as soon as they come from the orchards as possible. The North Pacific Fruit Distributors has rorwarded several cars of Jona thans and Kings to eastern and south- ern markets. While an atterant has been made by the Apple Growers' as sociation to adjust the prices of rack ing between the growers and pickers eo as to be satisfactory to both par ties, a large number of old experienced nackers are refusing to pack at the schedule of prices named, .and several or tnem are contracting with orchard ists on tneir own responsibility.

In the first place there was a much heavier run of stuff than had been generally expected, totals reach ing 1329 head, compared with 1302 a week ago. Killers took a few loads here and there in small amounts at the opening of the week's trade, but even for these they were offering fully 10c to 15c less than at the closing of last week, and efforts to sell carload lots at the reduced price were futile at the start. The extreme bearish position taken by killers In the cattle market at this time is said to be due principally to the fact that of late there has been little movement in the fresh meat trade. To some extenfc this Is said to be due to the holding up of prices to the extreme mark by killers, although the livestock price has shown substan tial reduction of late. At Chicago there was a weaker tone in the cattle trade for the day, with a loss of 10c in the price. Kansas City cattle market was weaker and lower with a loss of 10c Vto 15c.

The trade here is somewhat con- i teiuca av me luiiueiitse nuivu.ii. ui iuu ; that is being taken out of Pacific northwest wheat supplies by Europe and other sections. While the total crop of wheat in the three states is estimated at 66,000,000 bushels, about 6,000,000 bushels of this must be erased from the estimate, becauBe it is grown in sections that do not supply tide water markets. About 5,000,000 bushels of this is In Idaho, which usu ally ships to Utah and Colorado, and 1,000,000 in the Klamath country. whicli either consumes- Its entire prod uct or snips to sacramento. This leaves a crop of not more than 60300,- uoo bushels ror the trade to iigure with. With the export demand likely to continue liberal during the remainder of the season, millers' stocks are in danger. Unless they soon awake to the seriousness of the situation they i are likely to run afoul of an extreme shortage in supplies later. The lack of heavy buying by millers Is attrib uted generally to their inability to se cure satisfactory prices . for their straight and cutoff.
