Oregon Will This Year Produce
339 Cars.
CUALITY WILL BE GOOD
Acrcnge la Larger Than in 1911, tut
Cool, Wet Summer Interfered
With Production Market
Prospects Are Good.
An estimate of the Oregon onion crop has
been made by A. J. Fanno, president of the
Confederated Onion-Growers' Association,
after a careful Investigation of conditions.
Mr. Fanno finds that the 572 acres devoted
to onion oulture have produced 389 cars.
, The crop Is now nearly all safely harvested,
i the growers have experienced a shortage
4f labor..
The acreage and output of the various
, sections of the state follow:

Total B'2
This total for 1912 compares with 529H
acres and 3T0 cars of onions produced last
vear. Of the 1911 crop. 72 cars were sola
for seed, while only 80 cars of seed onions.
were grown this yenr. Nine cars oi ine
commercial crop have already been dis
posed of. tho f. o. b. price Being 10 ranu.
More business cculd have been done, but
for the car shortage, t
The crop this season would have been
larger had the weather been more favor
able. Bains and cold weather In the grow
In season cut down the total output. All
the onions that will be marketed by the
association will be of good quality.
The market prospects, so far as they
can be. seen at this time, are satisfactory.
The growers are certain of a good price,
ar-d there is also a possibility that quota
tions late In the season will be high. The
principal competitor of Oregon In the late
season Is the Lompoc district. The Lom
poc Produce & Real Estate Company re
ports only BO per cent of a crop this year.
The Central California crop Is large, but
Its keeping qualities are not known yet.
These onions are usually out of the way by
the middle of December.
In the Walla Walla and Yakima sections
the acreage planted in late onions was
about half of normal. The early onions In
those sections have now been nearly all
worked off.
COrXTBY .WHEAT MARKET IS BLOCKED
Increase la Demand Causes Farmers to
Cease Selling.
The better demand for wheat throughout
the country has had the effect of tying up'
the farmers. Business was almost blocked
yesterday. Buyers offered 77 073 cents for
club and 806 81 cents for bluestem, but
sales were few and far between. The un
dertone of the local market was firm. The
East was lower, but cables came through
stcsdy. The future course of prices depends
on the war niuauun '
Russia prohibits the exportation of wheat
higher prices are bound to result. On the
other hand, should the powers slip In and
stop the trouble in its early stage, it is al
most certain that values will slump.
There were no new developments In the
oats or barley markets," wnlch were quiet.
Mlllfeed was firmer In California. If the
demand from that quarter continues prices
here may be advanced.
Local receipts. In cars, were reported by
the Merchants' Exchange as follows:

not get cars, even box cars, so are making
no effort to buy. No trade with California
is reported.
The local market holds steady with th'
supply and demand about equal.

Tho Australian government statistician has
completed his flrst forecast 01 toe
cropped for the coming harvest In West
ern Australia. The acreage under wheat
Is approximately the same as last season
namely, nearly 9,000.000 acres while tak
ing th. area under crop of wheat, oats and
barley an Increase Is shown of over 21.000
acres. The recent bountiful rains, spread
over the general agricultural areas and those
which last year for the first time for 20
years experienced a dry season, give every
promise of a magnificent harvest.
HOPS F1RMF.B WITH MORE BUYING
Twenty Cents Paid In California In Yakima
19 and 20 Cents Is Bid.
The hop market Is firmer with an in
creased demand for the best qualities, whtch

there last year.
In New York State there was a firm mar
ket for good hops, buyers readily paying
SO cents for choice grades. There are not
many lots of this quality In New York

but quiet markets. At Nuremburg the low
er grades were half a cent cheaper.

Local Market Poorly Supplied and Prices
Are Firm.
The good demand for eggs and the scar
city of available offerings keeps the market
firm. Merchants from outside towns were In
the city yesterday trying to buy eggs, which
demonstrates the lightness of stocks ln the
Interior. Candled eggs were quoted yester
day at 3S cents and extras sold at 40 cents.
Poultry receipts were light, and this made
for a firmer market, although - the demand
was not keen. Chickens were held at 12
cents.

WHEAT DOWN A CENT
Bearish Crop Report Gives
Market a Setback.
SUPPORT BECOMES LIMITED
War News Loses Its Power to Stim
ulate Baying1 Closing Figures
Are Nearly the lowest
of the Day.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10. Wheat came down in
price today as a result of the Government
report, estimating the crop this season to
be nearly . 100,000,000 bushels larger - than
last year. The market closed steady.
It was evident from the start that wheat
would have to suffer a material setback,
support accordingly became limited and
mora and more deliberate. Longs of the
llth-hour sort were forced to sacrifice their
holdings, as war news appeared to have
lost the power to stimuate buying. The close
was at nearly the lowest figures of the day.
At the end corn showed a net loss of ft
o to lc
- Oats closed at a decline of Mc to $fcc
Provisions finished unchanged to a de
