Failure to feed cattle en route caused the animals to shrink In weight, damaging their owners to the extent of 82 a head, according to the complaint filed by the Portland Feeder Company in a suit against the Oregon Short Line yeterday. Two tralnloads of animals were shipped on September 25 and 26. 1913, from Hanson. Idaho, to Portland by the plaintiff, according to the suit. One of these trains was a consignment or 119 cows and the other 227 cows. At Burley. Idaho, the first trainload was driven into the corral near the track to be fed on September 25. Because the cows kicked out the loose gravel from under the fence and made their escape through that exit, the Feeder Company says it lost 8920. The roundup of the cows cost the Feeder Company 825, the damages paid to farmers upon whose property the cows trespassed cost 840. according to the document filed yesterday, and one of the animals was not recaptured. It being valued at 865. The second carload was turned into the corral the following day, and also escaped. For each of the cows the shippers ask 82 a head. HOPS REACH NEW MARK Mi r AT 19 CENTS IS HIGHEST OF PRESENT YEAR. Gain of Over 5 Cents Has Been Made Since . European War Began, and Price Are Firm. The highest price of the year wa reached yeaterday in the hop market, a sale of 40.000 pounds of thia year's crop being made at 19 cents. Yesterday's sale showed clearly the up ward climb of Oregon hopa sine the European war started. The market was at 12 f and 13 V centa previous to the outbreak abroad. A gain of something over 5 cents a pound his been scored, with indications favoring a further climb, say hop dealers. Buyers were out yesterday. It is stated, with offers of 1S cents for the coming crop, but there were no takers. The sale at 19 cents will probably mark the opening of a more active market at higher price Cables from abroad reported the news that the London market is advancing. This is due to the growing belief that supplies of hops for English brewers cannot be had as uual from the Continent, and purchases must be made at advanced prices. Adolf Funk, of Saaz, Bohemia, a sales man of imported hops to American brewers, was in the city yesterday and said that while he hai orders of American dealers for German and Bohemian hops he cannot now fill them because he is unable to make deliveries and he la uncertain when this can be accomplished because of the war. Usually American brewers take about 40, 000 bales, American weight, of hops from Continental Europe. This Importation, shut off this year, makes an added demand fo American hop here at home, while the wai forces foreign countries usually supplied bj Europe to turn to the American crop foi supplies.

IS M 3 STATIONS. c 9 5 POTATO CROP SHORT Oregon Yield Much Curtailed by Dry Weather. SHOWERS MUCH NEEDED Neighboring States Have Large Sup plies, However, and Prices Will Probably Not Become Excessive. Potatoes are likely to go higher, not be cause of the European war. but on account of the continued dry weather of the Summer that has caused a serious shortage in the Oregon crop. Fortunately, however, neigh boring states have good crops of tubers and this will probably relieve conditions in this market. Estimates now being made of the potato crop In Oregon are that there will be little ........ .,, hair the usual yield. Both early and late potatoes have suffered severely from the prevalent ary weatner. u. ,.. ,...,...., i,,Mi...t In April, have made light yields In most districts, due to .k. - .u.. fli.rA n-n4 nn rain at that season and growth was slow and unsatisfac tory. Late potatoes, planted in june -July, have had no rainfall whatever to help them mature. The early crop has, In many places, been round to nave oau umj twn marketable potatoes to the hill. Reports generally show light, small stock. t... -.., .v ir now said to be in a bad way because of the delayed rains. It has been so dry that vines are apparently life less and even If the much-needed rains come now. It Is a question whether the plants will revive sufficiently to help the situation any. Vnless It rains within a week, the crop is considered past help. Even should moisture be forthcoming, it Is said the result will be potatoes with small knobs on the sides it growth is resumed, making a product that is far from satisfactory in the markets. Potatoes are firm, growers being paid from $1 to $1.10 per 100 pounds. This is for tho best stuff. One Front-street com-mlsslon-houso has already sent five cars, crated, to Alaska and three more will fol low. This supply is always sent early so as to reach the Alaskan markets before freezing weather arrives in the North. Because of the dry weather and the fact that potatoes ripened early as a result, these shipments have been made earlier than usual this year. Advices from Idaho are to the effect that there will be double last year's crop in that state. Around Idaho Falls, 2000 more acres are said to be planted to potatoes than was the case In that district last year. About 6000 cars were shipped from Idaho last sea son and it is stated there will be 12.000 cars sent away this Fall and Winter. Yakima, also, is said to have a large potato crop In prospect and California is expected to have a good yield. The Oregon consumer may not have to face unusually high prices, but it appears that growers here are likely to realize better prices for their crop than might be expected If this state had Its usual yield. Onions are a fair crop In the state this year, being about the same acreage and yield as last season. Opening prices expected to rule for local onions are about 11.10 per 100 pounds. There Is a good stock of Walla Walla onions on hand, which are quoted at a lower figure. WAR AFFECTS BANANA TRADE Fruit Is Firmer Locally Because Ship Are Withdrawn From Trade. The European war has had a direct ef fect on the banana market on Front street, among other food prices It has already In fluenced. German ships engaged In the carrying trade have been taken out of serv ice, due to fear of capture, and as only ships especially fitted with refrigerating ap paratus can carry bananas, a shortage or tonnage for the trade has resulted and deliveries of fruit are shorter than usual at the Importing centers. Bananas came in large quantities to Port land yesterday, four cars arriving, but prices were firmer than have prevailed and are ex pected to maintain a steadier tone. A car of fine Crawford peaches came In Trom Yakima in excellent condition. They sold at 60 and 60 cents. Lemons are In good supply on Front street, and although firm at the advanced prices. It is not thought likely they will go higher, due largely to the end of the heated season. The apple market Is hard to clean up be cause of such large quantities of inferior stock. Some fruit Is selling as low as 25 and 35 cents a box, and the common stuff Is hard to sell at any price. It seems no body wants the low quality fruit, and dur ing no recent season has It been so hard to clean up the cheaper apples. Average ap ples sell around 75 cents, with higher prices for top stuff. A car of sweet potatoes came in from Merced yesterday. The new crop is selling welL Tokay grapes were In from the south and were In fine condition. CALL FOB CONFERENCE IS OUT Fruit and Vegetable By-product Industrie! Will Be Discussed Here September 10. '1 le call has been sent out for the con ference at Portland. September 10, of all Interested In the fruit and vegetable by products industries in the Pacific Northwest. It is Issued by the by-products committee, appointed by the Fruit Products Congress, held at Spokane last Winter. Objects of the conference are to devise ways and means to promote In every possible way the fruit and vegetable Industries of the Northwest states. At the gathering, which is expected to be representative of practical growers, packers, dealers and other Interests, ways and means will be dis cussed for bringing about better growing, packing, marketing and other essentials to building up the various industries that enter Into the fruit and vegetable business, uni form grading and packing are declared to be essentials in the call Just sent out. well as means for obtaining for the manu factured products the best markets. HIUE MARKET IS NOW UNSETTLED Dealers in Quandary as To What War Will Do To Trade. There ia a chance that hides may be cheaper in the United States as a result of the European war, say dealers, but there are other possibilities that may continue the advance in leather prices here that the war has already started, m If Argentine hides, of which great quan tities now go to Europe for treatment by tanners there, are thrown instead on the American market, there may be a lower market. If. however, these hides are manu factured into shoes here and the product can be sold and delivered in Europe, the demand is likely to be so strong that there will be no lower prices at home. Tanners have called a general meeting in the East to consider tile situation and de cide how best to meet war condition, EFFECT OF WAR ON APPLE TRADE Hope Is Expressed That Northwest Crop Will Be Marketed. SPOKANE. Aug. -0. (Special.) Just how the European war will affect the North western apple crop depends in a large measure upon the growers themselves, ac cording to J. H. Robblns. general manager of the North Pacific Fruit Distributors, who returned to Spokane this week after attend ing the 20th annual convention of the In ternationa: Apple Shippers' Association at Boston and subsequently making a tour of the leading marttet centers of the East and Middle West. - "If there is any demoralization of the apple market it will come from the grow ers themselves," declared Mr. Robbins. "Not withstanding the seriousness of the situa tion. I have a hopeful view that we shall be able to market our supply successfully under existing conditions, provided the growers refrain from consigning their crops and avoid a stampede. If we move the fruit of te Northwest in an orderly way there should be no disaster. "The future will be determined largely o further developments. It Is useless to fore cast saeclflc efTects of the war. The dis tributors are going right ahead to place themselves in the most commanding position possible, whatever turn affairs may take.

The spot coffee market was lower again today, with Rio No. 7 quoted at T and Santos 4s at 13c. The foreign exchaTTge situation, so far as finan cial shipments from Brazil through London are concerned, Is still very uncertain, but it is reported that Brazil is showing more disposition to offer coffee and it is rumored that primary shippers have asked New York credits.
