The rotting of hundreds of carloads of pot-.. toes ia assured in tha Pacific Northwest alone. unless the movement soon shows the greatest Increase in years. This stock is rotting on the farme for various reasons. Onion growers, (or instance, nave neia their stock for adequate values, while the mar ket's demand has been small. Owing to the fact that much of tha stock was pnlled after the rains, and therefore did not curs properly, much loss is shown. in supplies. Word to this effect was brought to the city., by W. H. Seward, a prominent grower of tha A1 Labish section. "They call this Hoovenzing." says Mr. Seward. "but I call it plain waste. In our section alon about $30,000 worth of foodstuffs is going to waste. I Price of fish ia being gradually lowered in tha lneal market, although values are still too high for some offerings, and tha public seems to share thia view. That there la going to be a serious break tn the price of fresh salmon before long la indicated oy the way stocks are at present piling up in the wholesale houses. Receipts of ehinook are in creasing very liberally from -the Columbia river, and the price is slightly lowered at 22 023a a pound with tha head on. although tha movement into consuming hands is nominal. aunon u now coming from practically every direction, and threatens to have something to aay about the high cost of living. Steelheads were quoted down to 2021e a pound during tha day. but sttn further price loasea are necessary ia .order to creata a general demand from' the publia. Columbia river smelt were not in quite as good supply as tha previous day, and the price was generally held at 6 0 7e a pound. Quality of the fish is perfect. Halibut is scarce, with medium No. 1 at 23c a pound, and chickens at 21c a pound. k few rasor clams are coming forward, but they are so high priced that the general public is not at all interested.

Coupled with receipts of 60,000 head today, which, with yesterday's carry-over, made 80.000 head on hand at tha yards, the Eastern rail blockade was assigned ' the chief cause of tha break. This blockade la forcing shippers out of tha market, and is hold chiefly responsible for the 40o break or yesterday and the further drop today.

This Is largely tha result of the present high prices of, gal vanuea iron (the material mainly used for this purpose In tropical countries), apart from certain inherent objections to Its use under any clrcumstaneoa. This roofing question has aroused much interest for a long time all over tropical Asia and the East Indies and has never been wholly satisfactorily solved. It la ; thought that the matter ia one that might well engage the attention of American manufacturers and exporters, both In Slam (which Is at present in a . prosperous condition) and in other coun tries of the Far East, particularly tha Philippine Islands. To obtain a really good market, any material of this kind should be as low in cost as possible, but it should be fireproof and waterproof to a high degree and easily applied b relatively unskilled native labor. - Chicago Provision Market Has Break Loss in Swine Price in Yards.
