was somewhat Of a surprise to the
trade The real strength of the cat

quite willing to pay former prices
There was only a small run Of hogs
over Sunday and the market remains
about as previously quoted

nor,inal run for the As hours. Prices
as previously quoted.
Grain Prices Unchanged.
While there was a very firm tone
In the local wheat market. both TOT
cash and future delivery today prices
are unchanged from those IN erect
during last week
The sensational advance in whea'
futures on the board Of trade Satur-
dav while somewhat OF SURPRISE
really outdeferred deliveries on par
with the cash stuff.
Coarse grains are quiet but tlrm'
AT unchanged prices.
Potato Market Firm.
In general it is the belief OF pro-
ducers that the recent slump anu
WEAKNESS the California potato mar
ket has shown has been entirely the
result Of manipulation OF San FRAN
cisco dealers who have tried hereto
fore to corner supplies and nave
bear unsuccessful up to date. the
now scheme and one which had de-
messing effect upon deals In the
south-but not among local prouuc-
ers-have been for some OF the DIE
holdings in warehouse here to De
transferred to warerooms III t"e
south. This is the big supply tha'
the California parties are Taking
about
Think Prices Will Advance.
Growers OF potatoes are today just
as bullish in their views Of the pota-
10 situation as they were month
ago. according to B. c. Altman
prominent grower Of eastern Multno-
NAH who was in the city today on
business. "I still believe and nave
believed all along" says Mr.. Altman
"that potatoes will be cleaned up al
hotter prices We have several months
TO sell out old potatoes yet, ana
believe thta all Of them will be clear
cd up at better prices The season Is
later than usual this year, and II Is
long cry to new potatoes.
"The acreage Of potatoes will be IN
creased fully 10 per cent in eastern
Multnomah this season because oi
the high prices in effect am be-
lever in early potatoes and If more
growers would put in this stock there
would be more money in the grow
ing. Alaska's wants are heavy an'
practically all Of this business wouI'
come here If we could supply It.
