PRICE CUTTERS
; HOLD BACK GAIN
Independent Selling is Still
.:; Damaging Market;
5 All Berries Dull.
PORTLAND, June 24 OP) Increas
ing strength In the eg? trade here Is
held back to some degree by the con
tinued underselling of the established
price list by so-called Independent
producers selling direct to retail
stores that make a specialty of price
cutting and selling at coat or less,
f There was no further change In the
selling price on eggs for the day
While buying values have In general
kept pace, or even slightly better,
than the Increase In sales.
( Receipts of buttor from points out
side of Portland have been extremely
heavy during the last few days while
liberal production has been shown In
Centralizing plants. Here and there
the market appears easy for cubes.
Very quiet trading situation 13 re
flected In the market for live chick
ens. Prices are still down In the cel
lar and especially so for llghtwelgh
hens and broilers.
6ome country killed turkeys are
still arriving, the latest the trade here
has ever known. Oood quality Is
rinding a fair call, but again at the
extreme all-time low mark.
All through the market for country
killed meats, steady prices and trade
conditions are reflected. Thore was
no change In values on veal, hogs and
lambs generally for the day.
Pi rut Young berries, a cross between
the loganberries and the blackberry,
have been received. The Initial ship
ment consisted of two one half crates.
They were sold at ftl half crute.
Almost general dullness Is reflected
In the market for berries. Strawber
ries are moving slowly and at vari
ous prices, loganberries are dragging
with Increased supplied whllo rasp
berries are lower and only a slow
movement.
Prices continue to seek a lower
level In the tomato market. This
applies to outdoor stock from the
south as well as for local hothouse
offerings.
Notes of wholesale trading:
Culifornla aprlcota are down about
a dime a lug with much over-ripe
stock seeking a home.
Casabas aro showing a weaker tone
with quality Indifferent.
Watermelons and cantuloupos about
unchanged.
Potatoes and onions fairly steady.
No price changes,
California Bell peppers are down to
12c lb.
Good lettuce Is scarce and more
firmly priced.
Peas are Just about steady.
Celery demand remains favorable
for small shipments around 92.76 half

Green and wax beans steady to a
trifle lower. ,

though hlfl Portland attorney, Bert
E. Haney, had agreed earlier In the
day to set the date for next Tuesday
or Wednesday.
"I do not know whether I will
support Hoover this year," Dr. Wilson
said. "During the campaign four
years ago I gave 90 addresses In his
interest. . . . This year I may be
forced to speak again for Hoover If
the Democrats adopt a wet platform."
He added that he expects the
Democrats to do so."
Dr. Wiloan expressed belief that
Senator Borah of Idaho could "cut
quite a figure" If he would lead a
third party movement on a dry plat
form. He added however, that ho
doe3 not advocate a third porty.
