WEAK AND LOWERED Potato Trade Is a Very Slow Affair .With Supply Heavy Front Street's Wants Are Over, supplied Alaska Business Is To6 Nominal to Quote. Market for potatoes is really very alow alon Front street. General purchases of No. 1 shipping stock from farmers is around GO (S3 He a cental. Farmers are rather ioclined to sell a few wagon loads at a time jttat now to set ready cub, and these offering are overloading tbe limtted local demand. The small order received from Alaska was not bit; enough to co:. shier as a market factor, aud could easily be filled in a single day it the holders cared to. Such fancy quality potatoes btvc not bees along the street for many years. The mo ment that the outside trade Is In a posi tion to take care of offeriues from this sec-i tlou and sauinleg to in that direction no trouble is expected tl.ls season regarding quality. Some inquiries are being received from tbe southwest, but no sales are as yet confirmed by local shipping Interests. Chicago Wheat Has Another Good Rise Chicago. 111., Aug. 12 I. N. 8.) Wbeat tlosed lc up for September. He for Decem ber, and 4e lower for May. Strong cabbie and the acute cMh situation caused a higher opening In tbe grain market today.

FISH SHIPPING TO SHOW IMPROVEMENT IN LOCAL MARKETS Salmon and Halibut to Go Forward From Here in Greater Supply After Runs Become Better; East Is Now Buying. A good start Is being made to make Port land a wholesaW? fish snipping center. While only about a carload a week is at present going forward from this city to the east,, expectations are for a big increase In the movement next season.' Naturally It taken time to develop eastern trade connections In the flab market. Up to thla time Puget sound bas had a strangle hold on the entire eastern trade so far as halibut shipments are concerned. Then, too, the Columbia, -with the greatest quality sal mon In tbe world, has scarcely been a factor in tbe eastern fresh salmon trade. This condition Is changing. "We are ship ping only about a carload of aalmon and halibut week to the east at this time," says J. R. -Burke, a local shipper, "but with fish more plentiful we expect to Increase the busi ness. Halibut la not only scarce off the Ore gon coast, but is inteuBely scarce on Puget sound. Tbere waa no halibut to be bad at all In the Seattle market yesterday. "We expect the Decorah in from tbe Ore gon coast about next Wednesday, but at this time are securing only limited supplies by rail from Newport." KENNEWICK MOVING FRUIT Kennewlck, Wash., Aug. 12. Elberta peaches have begun to move. The Fruit Ex change shipped the first straight car lot yts terday. Preparations have been made by the fruit agencies to handle tbe largest crop of Elbertaa ever produced In this section. Tbe prices are at this early date under normal. The Jop of early peaches was unual!y large tbls'year, and tbe markets have been crowded. It is thought tbat when tbe eariy varieties are off tbe market tbe price of Elbertaa will rise. Bartlett pears hate continued to come in longer tban was expected. Several of the fruit concerns are still packing. Moores and Campbell's early grapes are arriving In several hundred crate lots each day and will soon be moving In car lots. Watermelons and cantaloupes are also ripen ing fast. Tbe acreage of cantaloupes in this section this year is much smaller tban last but tbe product Is of exceptional quality this year, and tbe growers expect "top prices. I More Elberta peaches are produced at Ktune-T wick than any otner variety or iruit. SAY APPLE SALE A FAKE Hood River. Or., Aug. 12. The "tooted" sale of lOO.OOO boxes of Hood River apples to O. Berghuis-Krak. consul to the Nether- lands for Oregon, eontalned in a Hood River dispatch and appearing in a morning paper- Oregonian tbe latter part of the week, was a pipe dream and made out of whole cloth. Manager Stone of the Apple Growers' asso ciation and tbe officers of the Fruit Growers' exchange state that the story is untrue. No rales of Hood River fruit have been made this season so far from the apple stock. The lutein shipping concerns are holding firm and will demand the -best prices for the fruit con sistent with crop conditions elsewhere. Stock Market Has An Irregular Tone (Copyright. 1915. by the New York Evening Post.) New York. Aug. 12. (U. P.) The stock market fluctuated irregularly t,o day and at times there was a good deal of unsettlement and weakness in some quarters. Trading was leas active and except for sharp bidding up of spe cialties, some of which advanced vio lently on the circulation of rumors of large disbursements, there was noth ing Interesting in the speculation of the day. Sentiment was mixed and it was evi dent that the "war stocks" as a class have lost some of their popularity since the new high marks were estab lished. The market as a whole was largely professional, reflecting a sort of pool manipulation often seen at this stage of a speculative campaign, chiefly through the erase in "war stocks." The last hour was quiet with interest con fined to industrials. Some railroads were weak but there was no heavy selling. kj Range of prices furnished by the Overbeck & Cooke company, - 216-217 Board of Trade building; DF.SCRlPTlON jOpen jiiigb Low (Clow Alaska Gold American C. & P., c. ..
