These prices are favorable for this
season of the year and are well main
tanned by steady demand both from
| local sources and for Alaska. This
| firm report number of heavy ship
ments into the Tanana by way of the
Yukon River. H. E. Turner, we'll
| known member and executive of the
| firm, is at present in the East on a
business trip. He will visit Chicago,
| st. Paul and other cities, and will look
into dairy and creamery conditions.
Market for Good Apples.-S. A.
Hull of the Hull-Hamlet Co., reports
| that his firm have on hand some heavy
orders for fancy apples for the Nome
| trade, which opens in about two
weeks, and that they are in the mar
ket for a number of consignments of
fruit of very choice grade. He re-
ports a demoralized condition in the
potato market and says that produc-
ers are unwise in shipping so heavi-
| ly at this time, as prices are bound to
remain at a low level as long as the
potatoes are shipped in faster than
they can be readily handled.
Hay Market Uncertain. - Jacob
Kaufman, the well-known hay and
seed dealer, states that the hay mar
ket is at present in very uncertain
shape, dealers only buying for hand.
to-mOuth needs and carrying only what
stock on hand is necessary. The de-
mand is light, with the exception Of
one or two big government purchases,
and dealers will be moving cautiously
between now and the time when the
| 1908 crop is available.
Berries Coming.-William Meister,
of the California Commission Co.,
states that strawberries are coming in
| from the early districts in Eastern
| Washington, and that in about ten
days the shipments from the Puget
Sound country will begin to be heav-
ier He anticipates a good market for
early strawberries, in spite of the fact
that the Vashon Island and Lake
Washington crop is heavy.
Alaska Market.-H. S. Emerson says
that Southeastern Alaska trade condi-
lions are little quiet, but that he
| looks forward to heavy Nome trade
and better trade with the Fairbanks
| country as soon as the later route of
navigation into the interior opens up.
There have been good winter clean
ups in both the Nome and the Tanana
districts, and as a consequence bust
ness conditions should be at their
! best.
Portland Price Raised.-H L. Kloch,
of the Kloch Provision Co., has just
returned from an extended trip
through the southern part of Wash
| ington. He says that in the district
above Vancouver on the Columbia
River the dairy industry is develop
ing very rapidly. Great progress is
being made in the clearing of the
| loggcd-off lands, and these lands are
being used for dairying purposes. Mr..
Kloch states that conditions are ideal
in that section of the state for this
industry and that he expects to see it
come to the front very rapidly. He
said that the price of dairy products
on the Portland market, which have
| been held at a lower level than in
Seattle, went to higher level as soon
as the Seattle competition was felt,
and that these prices are being main
tanned in hopes of discouraging the
competition from the north. Butter
fat is now bringing a higher price on
the Portland market than for some
time past

KANGAROO'S POUCH.
Usc to Which It Is Ppt Explained at
 Circus


 The geological collection of the Rarnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth which gives two exhibitions in New Haven next Thursday. is in inc charge of George Conklln. wild animal hunter and trainer Standing in front of the Australian kangaroo cage Mir Conklln explained the use to which kangaroo mother puts the large pouch or pocket with which nature has provided her. This pouch Is tho cosiest kind of place for little kangaroo When hunters pursue the mother she puts all her babies into her pocket and runs for dear life, but if she feels that the enemy Is gain ing on her. and that she is in danger of being captured. she soizes one little one after another with her forepaws and hurls 1t out of the pocket to one side of her pathway as far as she can throw it She takes care to do this only at times when the enemy Is not in sight In this way she Ia relieved of the weight of the youngsters, and she can run faster.
 Al the same time her motive is not a selfish one. She throws her babies out in so skillful manner that U does not hurt them, They are soft little creatures and when they land in brush heap they are none the worst for f. The hunter loses all scent of the little kangaroos by this movement on tho part of the mother. and at the most tho pursuing party can capture only self sacrificing Mrs" Kangaroo.
