That there Is Kround for the belief now more or less prevalent among the famcm of this state that good hay prices throughout the year may rea sonably be expected, is the conten tion of one of the leading hay und feed dealers of the city. "On an average about 15 cars of hay are now being brought to the city dally." he said today. "This is not a very large amount, considering the needs of the current require ments, and the daily receipts would be a good deal larger but for the fact that muny of the large hay pro ducers of the state have become con vinced that grass feed this year In going to save the strength of wheat and either grains. "1 have never" known a seasot, when grains and feeds generally were high and hay quotations low, and I can see no reason for believing that this will he the case this year. I be lieve there will he a good market for all hay produced in Oregon this year, with satisfactory prices, If thu far mers will continue shipping In spar ingly as they have the past few weeks. It will be fur better for the farmers and for all concerned If the market can he kept In a fairly steady condition, than to have alternate pe riods of scarcity and abundance. "A factor In the Oregon hay mar ket this year Is the shortage In the crop In California. There has been too much hot weather for the matur ing of a good crop In that state this season, and as a consequence In some parts of the state there will he a demand for Oregon products. In Southern Oregon some hay Is al ready going across the line, though thu marketing of the Oregon crop has only begun us yet." Hides Are Firmer. The revival of Interest in the hide market Is one of the most encourag ing signs of the returning of nor mal conditions in thu Kastcrn states. The h lil i market Is exceedingly sen sitive to monetary comfltlons nnd U so closely related to other lines of business, the leather and shoe trade, the packing Industry, etc., that any Improvement lit Its condi tion Ih but the reflection of better ment in other blanches of industry. When the money troubles occurred I last fall the hide market was the I first to suffer and In it the slump In prices was greatest, quotations at tthe minimum being only half what they were a few months before. The tide has turned now and prices have a general upward tendency, though the course of values is llkeiy to be Interrupted at times by tem I pornry market conditions. At the I liioiuetit there is a gooil demand all lover the country and prices are firm ly maintained. In the local market sailed hides the quoted at 7 (u Sc and call skins al i-t'iilac, with green receipts of apples, Oregon tl uipris ing the bulk of me arrivals. Apple slocks generally are large, and a considerable proportion of them be ing low grade, they are none too actlce. Prices have a wider range, common apples selling for 7 5c Jo $1 a box, and the better sorts to $1.50. Among the latter are Cali fornia Gravensteins. Poultry 1'rlitK Firmly Held. There were no signs of weakening in the poultry market today, though the volume of business done was comparatively small. Receipts were moderate and the demand was suf ficient to take all tsat came, the best demand being for fancy hens. There Is now some Inquiry for ducks and turkeys, but not many of either are offered. " lUnt Tomatoes Are Higher. First class quality tomatoes are showing an advance In price, owing to the very small amount of stock offered. Some from California Is bringing as high as $1.25, as does some of the best local stock. Gen erally the market ranges around $1. Advices from the country state that the vines are covered with green to matoes of very good size but the slock is ripening very Blowly. All j express the opinion that this is an off year for tomatoes. lirlcf Notes of the Trade. Dullness continues in the hop mar ket with no business of Importance passing In any section of the world at the moment. Peach supplies along Front street are very liberal with some sales of Male's Karly around 50c. Early Craw fords from eastern Oregon are selling from 60c to 75c, according to quality, but thus far the quality has not been of the best. Home Elbertas from the south are selling as high as 85c a box. Culery from Denver ,1s arriving In quite good shape and is finding a demand around 90c a dozen. Some from Olympia selling from 75c to that figure. Cantaloupe market Is down with much larger supplies offering from local points.

Port hind Livestock .Market. With the near-by available supply showing a decrease, sheep display more strength in the local market than for some time past, but develop ments toduy were not such as to war rant any change In quotations. None were received and livestock dealers say the supply in the vulley Is about gone. From this time on this mar ket will have to draw on Eastern Oregon, Idaho and the Kocky Mount ain states very largely for its supply of mutton. The hog market is unchanged, with prime porkers In good demand at ton quotations, nnd stockers, supply, somewhat less active at lower figures. There Is a decided scarcity of good hogs in the territory ad jacent to Portland, and for months to come a good deal of pork will have to be brought in from the Mid dle West. Cnttle are steady at the prices that hnve ruled for several days. In lambs' and calves current receipts are about equal to the requirements of the trade. .Quotations ruling In the livestock market ure: Hogs Best, $6.50ifi 7; medium. $r,.75ii $6; feeders, $5.50 Tt $5.75.

Kecent wool sales at London showed a decided gain In prices over previous sales. It is not probable thnt the potato crop of the Pacific Const this year will exceed 60 per cent of the amount raised last year. The price paid for blue stem wheat at Walla Walla, Wash., August 7, was S5 cents, which was higher any time previous for 1 1 .
