Poultry and Game. The chicken market was decidedly weak and Western stock. which usually commands substential premiom. was selling at about the same prices quoted for local offerings. An- other car of Western was marketed, making | the fifth for the week. Geese and Turkeys were In good request and the latter were higher. | Dressed Turkeys were offering in small quantities and sold at 20@25c per Ib as to_quality, age, etc. There were. no changes in Game and, al- though receipts were heavy, everything cleaned up well.

The current decline in Butter having brought prices for fresh creamery squarely down to the level of Eastern and cold-storage goods, the demand for the two latter descriptions has been cut off short as far as the Wholesalers are concerned. The retailers. however. still | hold more or less of these goods, which they will naturally work off before going back to the fresh Kkinds. As soon as these retailers' stocks are cleared out the wholesalers expect that the demand for fresh creameries will immediately revive and the current accumu- lation be wiped out. But this will take a little time. Yesterday's market continued de- i , with the bulk of the finest creameries going at 22, with sales as low as 2lc and |up to 23c. 'Some very good creamery was worked off down as low as 20c. There was no further change In Cheese, Ranch Eggs continue to advance. They will bring about what receivers have the consclence {o ask for them, for there are practically none ere. Receipts _were 27,300 Ibs Butter, 510 cases Eggs end 21,100 1bs Cheese.

Deciduous and Citrus Fruits. Two more cars of Cranberries were put on the market yvesterday. One was New Jersey Late Reds and the other Howe Both were offered at $10 per barrel. The Coos Bay ar- ticle was still offering freely, but sold slowly, and there were several lots on hand that were rapidly spolling. Strawberries and Raspber- i ries were steady and Huckleberries were in | better demand and firmer. Several more car- loads of Apples were marketed and there were recelpts by water from Humboldt | oty T Maket. mas eak oR tancy stock, but quotations were unchanged, as most | of the offerings had been purchased at high prices in the growing districts, which neces- sitated the asking of correspondingly high prices here. Grapes were In moderate receipt and firm particularly for fancy stock in crates, which was wanteq for shipment on the Portland steamer. A good demand was noted for all descriptions of Citrus fruits.
