PLANT TAKEN OVER
Valley
Creamery Association
in New Hands.
TO REMAIN INDEPENDENT
TaJk of Combination in City Butter
Trade Denied by T. S. Town
send Berry Market Weak
ens Hop Contracts.
Tl'ith the reorganization of the Northwest
Butter & Produce Company complete, W. E.
Kly. the new manager of the company, took
Yharg-o of the business yesterday. Mr. Ely
fays the affairs the association will be
carried on Independently, as heretofore, but
beyond this he has outlined no policy. He
is well satisfied with the prospects before the
company.
la commenting on statements made In
some of the papers of the existence of a
butter trust, T. fc. Townsend said yester
day: "if there is such a thins as a butter com
bine here, I am ignorant of the fact. I
cannot understand why, if such is the case,
the Government does not take up the matter
and make an investigation. I am willing
to contribute both my time and money In
helping to ferret out this question and bring
out the absolute facts.
"However, I seriously doubt whether such
a combine exists and am Inclined to be
lieve that whoever is giving this informa
tion to the public Is dome it for the pur
pose of gaining a little trade for themselves
by pulling down the reputation of other in
dividuals and establishing a wrong belief
in the minds of dealers and consumers
against repirtable houses.
"The creamery business is one of many
l'.-aks and money can be lost rapidly if it
is not conducted carefully and conservatively
along business lines. It is possible - that
some of the creamerymen who have been
unsuccessful are feeling sore and are trying
to throw the blame for their failure on
other creamerymen who have worked care
fully and conservatively for many years and
who have been more successful.
WASHINGTON HOPS ARE CONTRACTED
I'ourteen Cents Paid by McXeff for New mod
Old Crop.
A lot of ISO bales of Western Washington
hops was bought yesterday by McNeff Bros,
at 14 cents. This deal leaves only 450 bales
of last year's crop unsold in the northern
state. The same firm contracted for S0.OOO
- pounds of 1014 Washingtons at 14 cents.
- Total beer sales in the United States In
April, as unofficially reported, show a de
crease of about 3 per cent as compared with
the same month last year. For the 12
months ended March 31, 1914, beer sales
have been 60,303,713 barrels, as against 64.
7G,5S1 barrels in the 12 months ended
March 31, 1913, a net Increase of 2,117.137
barrels, or 3 1-S per cent. For the year end
ed March 31. 1913. the sales were 1,410,407
barrels more than In the preceding 12
months.
A. change has occurred in the member
ship of the oldest hop firm in the United
States, Charles Green Bralnard Son & Co.,
of Waterville. 1 T. I. T. Bralnard retire
from the firm, which will be conducted by
his so a, C. G. Bralnard.
SUGAR MARKET HAS MORE STRENGTH
Indications Are for Advancing Tricea I'reu
Now On.
The sugar market has an upward tend
ency. Raws were firmer in the East yes
terday and the-prospects -are for an" carry
advance hi refined sugar, here. In com
menting on the situation, an Eastern au
thority says:
"Refloers having secured a good aggre
gate of raws were less disposed to follow the
rise, except where -the offerings came in
handy to-fill -gaps. They are waiting for
the active movement of granulated to work
off meltings, the withdrawals being gener
ally disappointing in view of the recent ex
citement. However, a jtpell of hot weather
will change the situation and in the mean
time the conditions have been favorable for
the--fruit crop, which promises to be large
and Insure a big preserving inquiry thii
Summer.'
MORE MONEY IS ASK. KB FOR EGGS
In .Vim e Quarters 21 Ms Cents Is Obtained.
Chickens Sell Well.
The esse market was quoted ' firmer on
the street. The general quotation was IM
cents, case count, but in some quarters haif
a cent better was obtained. Candling op
e rax Ions show an Increased shrinkage and
selects command a full cent premium.
There was a better feeling in the poultry
market, but prices were no higher. Hens
sold readily at 15(rl5 cents and broilers
a 25 cents. Ducks were moved with. di.
hculty.
The butter market was steady at the old
price for prints. Cubes offered at 23 to
24 cents, according to quality.
BERRVAKKET WtS LATE IN DA
Bet PrWe Am Obtained la Forenoon.
First Red Onions Received.
The strawberry market was firm enough
a tha opening, but weakened before the
dap was over. The best Oregons sold early
in the day at $1.00 to $1.00, but in the
afternoon $1.25 was the ruling price. On
the early morning farmers" market prices
were for small and $1.75(32 for large
boxes. Receipts of California berries were
small and they cleaned up at 75 cents to
$1.25.
A car of red onions arrived from Stock
ton, the first of the season, and sold at
2.7ojp3 a sack. Vegetable receipts were
light, but the street carried a sufficient
supply of most kinds.
SMALL INQUIRY FROM CALIFORNIA
No Demand for Wheat From Other Quarters.
Prices Nominal.
The wheat market was a dull affair.
Prices , were unchanged, but were more or
less nominal. California is showing a little
interest, but otherwise there was no de
mand. There was some talk of contracting
but no business was reported during the
day. ' The barley and oats markets were also
quiet.
Local receipts, in cars, were reported by
the Merchants' Exchange as follows:

WHEAT PRICES SOAR
Sharp Advance Due to Hessian
Fly Damage Reports.
CLOSES ALMOST AT TOP
lioeaes From Insect Pest Ma j- Amount
to 3Iany Millions of Bushels.
Corn and Oats Also Score
Material Gains.
CHICAGO, May 19. The cloao of wheat
was strong at nearly th topmoet point
reached, to Hili4c above laat night's.
Corn made a net sain of Sc to c and
oats 4 6 c to lc In Drovlsious the out
come was unchanged to 5c down.
Uneasiness over crop damage from Hes
sian fly carried the wheat market harjly
higher. It was conceded that the loss cer
tainly amounted to many million bushels
and there seemed no veiling what the tinal
outcome would be. Pit offerings were light
and buying orders the rule. Afterward the
wheat market receded temporarily, a con
sequence of the Government weekly crop
report proving bearish. Later Hessian fly
damage was reported from Piua, O. The
close was strong.
Corn ascended with wheat. Fine weather
and easier cables were ignored. Increase of
country offerings clieckd the advance. The
close, though, was firm.
Firmness of other grain influenced oats.
So also did the fact that a Canadian cargo
here had failed to reach contract grade.
Provisions ruled steady with hogs, but
trade was meager.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
