mum Interests and papen were talking about a
depressed market price for eggs and a lack of
altera demand, when Jt waa generally known
among the trade that the price then wa ad
vancing 1 to 2c a dozen each day.
. Thia may not be tbe case at ' tha present mo
ment, but the trade is Tery suspicious of an
Bouncementa made in aome papers which in turn
are generally traced to certain interested dealers.
Sales of case count eggs are made along Front
street during tha last 24 hours at 61tf52o a
. eoseu, aitnoucn at me last rainni some re
ported tha situation as easier, with tha price
lower. In any event the market is a weather
affair, and any rising of temperatures throughout
tba country would . instantly result in a broken
etc price. Local receivers are therefore inclined
to clean up from day to day.

Many carloads of apple are about to rot in
the Paeifio Northwest, meaning tha loss of many
thousanda of dollars.
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.

There waa a very firm tone for cattle and
sheep and the bog market situation was steady
at North Portland
.Only a small showing of cattle was made in
the yards during the day but the demand waa
very keen. Some cows brought a new high
record of $9 for tops. Steers did not sell above
$10.75 during the morning, but, quality consid
ered, these were about 10 to 15c higher than tba
steers that brought $11 during the last few days.

There were 1 0 loads of stuff reported in the
mutton alleys of tbe North Portland yards over
nisht- and of thia amount eight loads came direct
to local killers from their own feedlots, and
therefore did not enter the general trade.
Killers are therefore in full control of the
nrice situation, and every advance at this time
money in their pockets because or tne UDerai
holdings on their own reeaiots. wnicn were pur
chased when values were materially lower.
What mutton and lambs were offered oa the

Siamese rTaat Flreeroef BoeflBfv '
In connection with the construction at
public warehouses for storing rloa, tba
Siamese government has encountered
difficulty, says the Rangoon (Burma)
Gasette, in securing suitable fireproof
roofing material. 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. -

stated that for best results the fertiliser
should be applied by March 1 and that
with present transportation facilities
they are doubtful If the nitrate would
be received this far west in time to
use it this season. Mr. Newhouse. how
j ever, is going to interview a number of
the growers in other parts of the country,
and it is poewible that an order for a
quantity of the nitrate will be made.
Approximately 200 pounds of this fer-
jtlliser la required per acre, making It
possible to well rertlllze 10 acres with
each ton of the nitrate. At thia rate
the cost per acre would be something like
$9. rsone ot thia nitrate will be sold to
retailers, but Just to actual farmers or
owners of land for use on their own
property.

problem of continually feeding the 11
strikers arrested Thursday morning,'
the city officials decided that the situa
tion waa one that the city treasury -would
not stand up under. And conse
quently City Recorder Lodsr lata that
afternoon ordered the release . of tha
men. upon their promise to appear for a
hearing whenever called. Tha strikers
spent the day in JaU. where they were
furnished breakfast and dinner, being
liberated in time to get their supper
elsewhere.
Soon after their arreet Attorney Chrts
Schuebel secured an order from Judge
Campbell of the circuit court granting
the habeas corpus In behalf of W. li.
Pickle, a resident of West Linn, whe
waa crossing the bridge at the time tha
picket line was marching over, and waa
arreeted with the men. He waa era hla

for hla work In Portland. Tbe petition
In his behalf questioned the Jurisdiction
of the arrest on the ground that It waa
made on the suspension bridge, which la
county property, that the recent anU-
picaeung ordinance was pas sea oy ut
city council, which haa no jurisdiction
on the bridge.
The city officials attempted to fcava
the arreeted men furnish bail bond in
the sum of $10 each, but this was re
fuaed.-
Karl Frost, one of the strikers ar-.
rested, wss kept In jail less than two)

The argument on the writ of tiatiasa
