The first large shipment OF Yakima
TO this market was received by j. \
Hatfield & Co. during the week. Hay
is steadily advancing. and there ap-
pears TO be a good prosrclt in store
for holders.
DAIRY PRODUCTS.
Eastern butter is moving slowly
with no change In former rates. Tn,
price of Eastern is held down by th'
low values placed on California
There is none OF the latter in the Sc
attic market. Cheese continues steady
with no immediate prospect OF altera
ton in prices The market is abun
dainty supplied with Eastern eggs ans
an advance on our present quotations
Is expected before Christmas. Small
supplies of fresh choice ranch come II
and are eagerly bought up.
POULTRY AND GAME
Poultry is arriving in fair supply
chiefly chickens and turkeys. Quota
tons on these remain unchanged
The demand for chicken and holiday
poultry promises 60 be strong. The
supply Of live poultry. it is expected,
will fall far short OF the demand and
the Eastern market will he heavily
DRAM on. IL i feared that the East
ern receipts Will be attended with con
Siderable risk to dealers. owing To the
mild weather prevailing, which is
greatly against the preservation OF
dressed stock killed for any great
length OF time The Portland market
sexhausted, and only half q supply
can be secured at that point for the
Christmas holidays. Two thousand
pounds of Eastern turkeys and chick
ems we're received by J. A. Hatfield
& Co. during the week and are being
disposed OF rapidly There is no game
Ia the market.
FISH AND OYSTERS.
The supply Of halihut and salmon is
extremely limited. and quotations
have advanced &c per pound on each.
lhere Is an abundant stock OF small
hsh, chiefly founders. gray cod. perch.
her'ing and rock cod. In the absence
q larger varieties the small have a
goo market, Sound oysters are
PRESENT IN good quantity. Eastern.
usssn, Booth's and Platt's, are held
aaple stock TO meet daily calls.
; FErtr kNp VEGETABLES.
ieefe are few varieties Of California
ua''s IN the market The last con
Ssnment by steamer was confined to
Wa'ses' bananas and lemons. A few
hest potatoes were also brought. The
'y y vegetable supply is sufficient for
al demands.
