There are two reasons fbr the late advances 4 U -,,.4. HftttUnil hut : generally along the Pacific coast. There 1 to be aura, an actual shortage of freshly laid stock, and aa the public i demanding the best there ia, not sufficient supply is svailable to fill requirement!!, and this forces values upward. Cold storage men are withdrawing their sup plies with eagerness at this time. Little is being .sold aa storage foods; the nominal Biles of what are really called storage being from '64 68a a dozen, the latter for selected stock. The' btg interests have much to gain by reason of the -advances being forced in fresh stock, in fact, they were the first ones to quote such ad vance. They stand to make millions of dollars more out of their icehouse Kpeculation. Dairy produce-receipts at!

Cohen Dating xf food packages by man ufacturers has begun in Portland and other Pacific Northwest points, giving protection to the public against the sale by retailers of stock that has been long held on the shelves. One of the big coffee roasters of Port land, some time ago began to print the date each package of goods was roasted and this has been found to force the re tailer to purchase only for Immediate requirements and giving the public a better class of goods than was the case If stock was held on the shelves for many months. A local flour milling company has also adopted the same system and every sack of flour put out by- the company bears the date of milling. Cereals are likewise beginning to ap pear with the date of manufacture placed upon the label, thus insuring the public fresh goods. It Is expected that the system of dat ing will become general and the pub lic can therefore see at a glance whether it is getting fresh or stale goods; Those desiring special Information re garding any market, should write the Mtyket Editor, Oregon Journal, enclos ing stamp for reply. WOOL TRADE LOlS FOR IMPROVEMENT IN THE BUSINESS Manufacturers Are Beginning to In quire for Supplies Although the Volume of Trading Is Still Small Signs Are Very Hopeful.

Boxed strrk is selling at S2.25 2.50, generally for quality, while bulk stock is going at 6c pound. TOMATO PRICES ARE ADVANCED Owing to the wet weather and the slow ripen ing of stock, tomato prices were again higher 111 the local trade for the day.

Now that the ice has been broken and packers and tanners have gotten together on a trading basis, it is presumed that actual values' will b sufficiently established to enable the trade to make market quotations within a few days.

The cotton market had an irregular opening today, with near months 6 to 1 2 points higher, while t.h& distant positions were -unchanged to 3 point lower. Eventually the entire list sold about 25 points under the previous close, influenced by another good weather map and bearish crop advices. Trade was narrow, with little nut-ride interest. and room sentiment continued bearirh. The market again turned weak late in the morning on renewed liquidation of December, breaking into new low ground f"r the day and closing easy at a net decline of 54 to 6 S points. Range by OveTbeck & Cooke eomnanv. Board oi i raae ouiiaing Boston, Sept. 6. Judging from ex pressions of opinion heard on Summer street, wool dealers are looking for a material Improvement in business now that the vacation . season Is over. In fact, signs of a change for the better are not wanting. The volume of sales has not been increased greatly, but more -inquiry is noted from manu facturers. Woolen manufacturers especially have been in evidence during the past week. Their purchases have been in limited amounts but the demand Is sustained. All branches of the wool manufacturing in dustry are running aa nearly to full capacity as the present unsatisfactory condition of the labr market will allow. Little change is noted in the position of ter ritory wool. Trading has not. been active, though fine and half blood staple can be sold as fast as dealers are ready tc offer U) same. Choice fine staple is quoted at $1.80 to $1.90 clean, half blood staple at $1.70 to $1.80 and French combing at $1.60 to $1.70. Fine and half blood wool in tbe original bags is scarce, three eighths blood staple territory is held at $1.30 to $1.40, quarter blood staple at $1.10 to $1.20. and fine and fine medium elothing wool at $1.50 to $1.60. Receipts for th week were 5.504,500 pounds of domestic and 3,000,370 pounds of foreign. Arrivals Limited, With Trade Small North Portland Gets Two Loads in Cattle Division No Hogs or Sheep Offered.

Brownsville, Sept. 6. K. H. Robertson of thi city has demonstrated this season that brrom corn can be successfully raised in the Willamette valley and he has on display sam ples . of the crop which measure 1 1 H feet in height He has a flourishing 10 acre field of the broom corn 'growing on his loganberry farm on the south edge of town. - Experts say that the corn is as good as any they ever saw, that the Ktraw - is good and the brush splendid, comparing favnrably with that which is raised in Missouri the broom corn state. One of these broom corn eaperts in foims Mr. Robert-son that the crop ought to bo worth $500 per ton to him. He says further that if the crop proves to be adapted in every way to Willamette valley soil and climate, it will be far more valuable to growers than the loganberry crop. Mr. Robertson will send his corn to Crawfordsville, where it wU be made np into brooms. AMERICAN LIVESTOCK PRICES Chicago Hoqs $20.25 Chicago. Sept. 6. (I. N. 8.)

Wool and Hide The hay market Is feeling the effects of the weather and after a turn of slight depression, Is again firm, with some indications of higher prices for alfalfa. For Willamette valley stock, supplies are so liberal at this time that the situation remains quiet. Globe Grain MiUing company advises: "The bay market has passed through a period of change and is now becoming fairly well settled. It opened witn rather high prices in the interior, but lack of demand has some what weakened the ideas of the shippers, and there has been a gradual reduction of about $2 a ton in values. The past few days have shown quits an improvement in demand, with the result that prices are somewhat firmer and we look for a gradual increase, if not a great r-amount Offerings of alfalfa from the country are- light, and with bad weather we would not be surprised to see decidedly higher prices de manded. "Valley hays of different varieties have been in such large supply that prices have continued weak. There should be some little improve ment, but as the supply is far in excess of the demand we cannot expect materially bight r prices." Light trading is shown at country points for both oats and barley because present stocks in the band of tidewater interests are quite lib eral. Premiums continue to be paid for the better grade of whesj.
