A. TT1I!........
Some of the salmon packers on . the Pacific
Coast have taken up the matter of the mis
branding of canned salmon, and their efforts
are being seconded by brokers and Jobbers in
the East. It is stated that the misbranding
Is the direct result of the wide use of buyers'
labels. To such a point has the practice gone
of labeling Inferior grades of salmon as of
higher quality that the Interests of packers
of thef better class of goods are held to be
seriously threatened, and to remedy the evil
a movement having for Its object the com
plete elimination ot private brands has been
Inaugurated. It Is further held that the con
tusion arising from the misbranding of salmon,
as to quality and place of packing is a serious
detriment to the Interest of the distributing
trade. The New York Journal of Commerce
quotes! a leading Jobber of that city on the
subject as follows:
The new National pure-food law is very
strict as to misbranding and buyers will have
to stop relabeling salmon that has been caught
end packed at other points "Columbia River
Chinook" or "Fancy sockeye," or misrepresent
ing in any way the contents of the can on
which their label is placed. Coast reports re
ceived by us state that already some of this
year's pack of Alaska red salmon has been
branded as sockeye. This sort of thing works
an Injustice to the whole salmon packing in
dustry. If a sonsumer buys as Inferior grade
of flan, under a label which claims It to be
tlrst-quallty Chinook, he Is very apt to stop
eating salmon on the assumption that there Is
nothing really good canned under that name.
Or. If he doesn't put salmon on his black list,
he will be Inclined to buy sparingly thereaf
ter for fear of being fooled again. To the mis
branding of Alaska salmon by the" vse of
Sockeye labels can be traced a good deal of
the weakness and! slow distribution of that
grade of fish In tall cans. In the English
markets, where the discrimination as to
texture and quality of the fish la not so pro
nounced as here. It has been the practice to'
relabel red Alaska talis. "Sockeye." and the
consequence is that genuine sockeye tails have
been carried over from year to year, and mar
ket prices have consequently ruled low.
The misbranding of salmon to my mind
Is much more of a trade loser than the pro
fusion of private labels, and the sooner we
can correct this abuse the better It will be
for the Jobber, as well as the packer.
WHEAT PRICES HOLD.
Slump In East and Europe Has Not Yet
Affected This Market.
The slump In the Eastern and foreign wheat
markets had no apparent effect on the local
situation yesterday. Dealers continued to
quote new club wheat at 70 cents and aew
bluestem at 73 cents. They intimated that
these prices were too high, but they did notJ
reauce tneir Dlds. Buying was not reported
to be particularly active. Trading in spot
wheat Is very slow. There is some California
demand, but only about one firm here Is en
abled to secure freight space on the steam
ers. Discussing the crop damage In the North
west, a prominent exporter yesterday stated
that In his opinion the drouth and hot winds
would reduce the output of the three states
from 10,000.000 to 12.000,000 bushela below
last year's yield.
The weekly statistics of the Merchants' Ex
change show the American visible supply of
wheat as iollows:

Heavy Receipts From California and Local
Points.
There was a liberal stock of all kinds of
fruit on Front Btreet yesterday. The demand
was active, however, and the supply did not
prove excessive. Two cars of mixed fruit
from California were delivered in the morn
. Ing and two more cars reached the railroad
yards In the afternoon. Local shipments of
deciduous fruits were also very heavy. Two
cars of can ta loupes, one from Salt Lake and
one from Exeter, were put on sale, also two
fresh cars of watermelons. Oregon canta
loupes are arriving more freely, but are of
inferior quality and sell rrom $1.75 to $2.
The vegetable market Is well supplied with
all varieties. Tomatoes and egg plant are
especially plentiful.
MORE EASTERN EGGS ARRIVE.
Receipts of Poultry Larger Than Ciual on
Monday.
There was no Improvement In the egg mar
ket yesterday. The demand was only moder
ate, and with more Eastern offered tor sale
the Oregons were slow to clean up.
Receipts of poultry were larger than la
usually the case on Monday, Indicating good
arrivals during the fore part of the week.
Prices were unchanged.
A firmer tone was noted In the Front street
butter market, where the best grades have
teen advanced to 22 cents. City creameries
report a better situation, as the supply of
cream is gradually decreasing.
Alaska Wants Oregon Potatoes.
There Is a growing demand tor Oregon Bur
bank, potatoes la Alaska. Jerry Cousins, of
Seattle, who was In town yesterday buying
new potatoes for shipment to Dawson, says the
Oregon product surpasses everything else in
that climate. Large stocks that bis firm
shipped to points Id the interior went through
the Winter in perfect condition, while "TaKl
mas and other varieties failed to hoi their
own. The miners of the far North, have come
to recognise Oregon potatoes as the best keep
ers and will accept no other kind.

GHECKS THE RISE
Profit-Taking on the Late Ad'
vance in Stocks.
MARKET HANDLED WELL
Southern Pacific Reaches the High
est Point on the Present Move
ment Slump in Consolidated
Gas Causes Disturbance. '
NEW YORK, July 80. The speculative
movement for a rise in stocks encountered
some difficulties today in the amount of
stock for sale to realize profits, which are
made attractive by the considerable advances
achieved . last week. The accumulation of
buying orders over a week-end is always
watched for by speculative holders to afford
a market tor absorbing profit-taking sales.
The manner in which these are absorbed is
regarded as an Important index of the tone
of the market. The buying orders on hand
this . morning from outside sources were not
of Imposing proportions, according to the
complaints of commission houses. The supply
Ins of stocks was dons with care and the
market was taken care of by skillful handling,
so that small Impression was made . upon
prices.
There were influential advances in special
stocks at the same time, which served as
a sustaining effect on the general list. The
renewed advance In Southern Paclflo to the
highest point on the movement was a nota
ble example. The disturbing effect of the
evidence of profit-taking was much aggra
vated by . a slump in Consolidated Gas when
the official announcement was made that the
Brooklyn Union Gas' management had deter
mined to suspend the payment of dividends
until further notice. The possible bad effect
upon securities ot the measures and agitation
directed against corporations has been much
in the mind of the market operators up to
the recent rise in stocks, since which time
It has been relegated to the background.
Continued assertions of an early dividend
tor Southern Pacific and the strong ' showing
expected of the United States Steel quarterly
statement of net earnings to be published
tomorrow were elements in the strength of
these stocks. The market did not throw off
the ill effects of the gas dividend passing.
although there was come rally, but the clos
ing was Irregular.
. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value.
$1,945,000.
United States 2s advanced . the 3s cou
pon and the old 4s 54 per cent on call.

SELLING IS HEAVY
Chicago Wheat Market Weak
the Entire Season.
IMMENSE GRAIN MOVEMENT
f
a
Receipts Are Over 200 Cars in Ex
cess of the Amount Estimated.
Foreign News Favorable
to Bears.
CHICAGO, July SO. The wheat market was
weak all day. At the start sentiment was
Influenced by liberal receipts at Chicago, the
total arrivals today being more than 200 cars
in excess of the amount that had been es
timated on Saturday. This heavy movement
Induced free selling by cash sales of large
quantities of wheat by several of the lead
ing bulls. News In general was favorable to
the bears. Foreign advices stated that weath
er conditions In France and the United King
dom were favorable to harvest operations and
reports from Russia were less pessimistic. An
Increase of 2,486,000 bushels in the visible sup
ply gave additional encouragement to the
bears. Extremely liberal receipts of wheat at
all primary points in the United States, how
ever, formed the main basis of weakness.
Total arrivals today were 2.176.000 bushels,
compared with 1,646.000 busheles ths corre
sponding day one year ago. 'During the day
there was little buying ot an influential char
acter, the greater part 'of the offerings be
ing taken by shorts. New low record marks
for the season were reached today as a re
sult of ths heavy selling. The market closed
weak. September opened to o lower at
75V4 to 75c sold off to 74so and closed
IK to 10 lower at 7474c
Because of considerable rain throughout the
corn belt since Saturday, sentiment In the
corn pit was bearish early in the day. For
a time there was a general selling move
ment, which resulted in moderate declines.
Later, however, the market became firm, on
buying brought 'on by reports of damage to
the crop In Illinois. The market closed firm.
September opened Ko to c lower at 50 to
50c, sold off to 49c and then advanced to
51c. The close was c higher at 50c
Weakness of wheat and corn caused a
slight decline In the price of oats early In
the day. September opened K to c lower
at- 32 to 32c. sold between 31cand 32Uc
and closed down Kc at Z2Kc
Provisions displayed considerable weakness
because of a 10c decline In the price of live
hogs. A local packer was a free seller of
both lard and ribs. The principal demand
earns from shorts. At the cloee, September
pork, was off 7c:' lard was down 10c and
ribs were 10c lower.

UNABLE TO FIND DAUGHTER
Mrs.' Anna GarvJge, of Los Angeles,
Makes Unsuccessful Search.
Mrs. Anna Garvige, an elderly wom
an whose mind appears to be affected
througii worry, spent all day yesterday
about the police station, a most pitiful
object. She came here from Los An
geles to ilnd a married daughter whom
she had not heard from during the past
year. The daughter's name is Mrs. Ida
Cooper, wife of a painter, whose first
name the old lady did not know. She
wa unable to get any trace of Mrs.
Cooper during two days of persistent
search. She had very little money left
and was afraid she wouU be left desti
tute and friendless.
The Salvation Army Rescue Home
took the case in charge during: the af
ternoon and learned that the daughter
is thoug-ht to have removed to Astoria.
That point was at once communicated
with and every effort will be made by
the Salvation Army workers to help the
untortunate woman out of her trouble.
