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.

FORCING ENDING OF
THE PEACH SEASON
Trade Disgusted With Lack of
Taste in Most Arrivals and. 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.

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.

Kxtreme weakness waa shown for
cattle in the North Portland yards for
the day. 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.

Weakness was generally shown for
hogs In the North Portland market at
the opening of the week's trade. There
was a rather liberal run over Sunday,
totals being 1689 head, compared with
1189 a week ago. Killers were slow
in taking hold, because receivers were
asking full values while the former
were not willing to pay them.
At Chicago there was a better feel
ing in the hog trade, with an advance
of a nickel in the price. Tops $9.05.

General hog market:
Best light $ 8.05
Medium light 8.00

Sheep Situation Strong.
Killers continue to absorb all possi
ble offerings, of sheep at country
points, and the bulk of recent arrivals
in the yards have therefore been for
their account.' The trend of the trade
continues uniformly good, with prices
well maintained in all lines.

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

bushels of this is In Idaho, which usu

leaves a crop of not more than 60300,-

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

uty District Attorney.
The county commissioners are with
out power to regulate the billboard
nuisance, according to an opinion sub
mitted this morning by Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Mowry.
At the suggestion of several organ
izations that the commissioners take
steps to protect the beauty of the Co
lumbia river highway by making an
order prohibiting the posting of objec
tionable billboards, the question waa
referred to the district attorney's of
fice. Mowry said that there is a mis
demeanor statute covering obstructing
of highways, and ane prohibiting de
facing of certain property, but these
would hardly apply. The legislature
may be asked to regulate erection of
billboards that the highway may be
protected.
