The feature OF the produce market during the
past week was an advance In choice beef cattle
This is due TO the fact that range cattle in con
dition Tor market have now been about all sold
of and from this time forward cattle will have
TO be stall fed. The high price of grain and feed
Of all kinds will necessitate correspondingly
high prices for cattle in order to pay for getting
them in condition for market. Oats have stiff
ened up little more, but corn is little lower.
Barley Is steady, but chicken feed wheat IL
ufning In little more abundantly. and prices
have dropped a shade. Potatoes are very firm
sud the demand is good, but no material ad-
vance has taken place as yet. Hops are weaker
snd the number OF orders are limited Butter
|. eegs and poultry remain firm, and there is a
large amount of Eastern stock on the way to
supply the holiday trade. One firm has four
ears of poultry on the way from St Paul. There
is also considerable native poultry coming In,
bot fresh ranch eggs are very scarce and high.
In the iobbing trade there has been but little
change in prices, aside from another variation
In cured meats and a general advance in lard.
The iobbing prices of grains have, of course,
changed correspondingly with the prices paid
podueera
The canneries closed down some time ago,
but large number Of men have bean employed
around there since packing and getting things
stored away for the winter The work 10 now
about completed and the building will soon be
deserted. The pack amounted to between TO-
90 and q. GOO cases, just little heavier than
that OF last season. The proportion of silver
salmon packed was much heavier than on
former years. contrary to the general anticipa-
tens of fishermen, it being generally remarked
hefetoiore that the run OF silvers was heavy
cuy once in two years. Last year the run was
iGis, 30 light run was looked for this season.
