PORTLAND MARKET LETTER , August 30, 1917 , General conditions throughout the market have continued steady today. with the small volume of 300 cattle. 600 hogs, and 700 sheep moving promptly at prices quoted. Cattle The time of the cattle traders was mostly consumed in the examination of second quality to medium clock ers and feeders, there being very lit tie beef stuff offered in the yards today. Such good killing stuff as has been offered, changes hands very promptly at strong prices. T Hogs The high price recently current for stocker and feeder hogs has caused rush in that department which con tinues full strong with the demand Just at present, while the price asked has not been altered, the demand for this quality of stuff seems to be slack' ing somewhat and today's offering did not pass readily. "Shipper and packer" offerings in this department wont readily at quoted prices. . Sheep The sheep market continues strong with a supply entirely inadequate, to meet the demands. The prices quoted are being promptly paid for all of ferings in all grades and the demand continues active and somevhnt be yound the supply. ' in addition to killing stuff a con siderable market is developing for feeder and breeding classes in the sheep department.

The following letter from Prof. C. I. Lewis, chief of the division of horti culture at O. A. C, will probably be of interest to fruit growers of this coun ty. It not only gives us information as to the value of a properly packed crop of apples, but also as to the con ditions of this year's apple crop over the United States which is of much interest to all of our local fruit men. "We are going to hold a fruit pack ing school at O. A. C. September 4 to 15. We shall take up the packing of both apples and pears. We shall have expert packers to assist with the work. The college has installed mod ern sizing machines and gravity car riers. The work will consist very largely of laboratory work, actual grading and packing. Occasionally a few lectures will be given on picking, loading cars, building the fruit houses, storage rooms, etc. It is quite an op portunity for people to come to the liege and get the expert training in packing, so that they can go home and handle this year's crop. Never in the istory of the United States was there more demand we should put up our fruit in good shape. , There is a very light apple crop. The commercial ap- e crop is perhaps the smallest in 20 years, at least 12 per cent below last year's crop. There should be a good price realized for fruit well packed nd graded. If students who are to come, could send me word a few days head, it will help us very materially in planning for amount of fruit, ac- c ommodntions, etc., for such people. Th e only charge for the Course is $2 w hich will, of course, not cover the cost of fruit that each person will p robnbly destroy. If one cannot come for the 10 days, let them come for n day or two and whnt they can f rom the course. I get am the very anxious to help standardize apple packing industry and to do thi s we must train packers. There are mnnv districts in the state which are st beginning to produce apples and will produce large quantities the next four or five years. These are the dis trict which should foe especially in terested in our fruit packing school at th is time. PAUL H. SPILLMAN. County Agricultural Agent CITY HALL CLOCK TOWER TO BE RE-BUILT New York Building Destroyed By Fire Last May Will Be Restored New York, Aug. 31.

Plans for the restoration of the tow er and clock which was destroyed by fire last May, were filed with the Bureau of Public Buildings recently.
