Owing to the heavy stocks of veals and hogs that have come forward from the country recently to the Front atreet trade, there have been unusually . severe cuts in the price received for this stock. For instance dressed bogs of best quality Have dropped J to 4c a pound recently in the wholesale trade and this should by all means be passed on to the consumer. Veals have dropped 3 te 4e a pound likewise and consumers should get the benefit of this decline. With all these drops in the price of hogs tirtTe has, been' no change noted re cently in the price of pickled pork prod ucts but It is assumed that sooner or later packers will give consumers some of the benefits of these lower buying values.

AID THE' OREGON POTATO B SEED WILL Oregon Needs Change in Stock Ac cording to Trade freeze May Force Betterment in Quality Here. That the recent freese, which de stroyed a very large per cent of the Pacific Northwest potato crop, is in re ality a. blessing in disguise ia now ac knowledged by some of the trade. The loss of a very large per cent of the seed holdings of farmers, while a ca lamity to many, will in- reality prove to be a good thing generally because it will force growers to secure seed else where. Oregon has been known far snd wide ss s section where the beet potatoes in the countre ran bs produced. During recent years the quality of the potato croir-of the state has been deteriorating .and. today, instead of the product of this state commanding too highest prices along the coast, the general run of atock sell lewsat. This i due) entirely to the fact thst Oregon Potato grower hare been extremely lax about aecnrlng proper aeed for planUng. Many of them hare not changed their seed In 20 years, In the big producing sections of CaHfornisj as wel' a in Washington, the seed is changed oc casionally and this results in a better average quality crop. Soma of the local trade is figuring on ss curing aeed stork in Minnesota or Wisconsin, but o far as known, no purchases hare ss yet been made.
