WO RELIEF IS IN SIGHT Extreme 2'riecs J.ikcly to Prevail for Several Years After Kiid.nr of War, Owing to Scarcity of Tonnage. Although the consumption of tea in the Paoifjf; North went Is not considered large, stUl there. Is quite a volume of business done in this commodity. It i-eems hard that the consumers will be asked to pay all the way from 75 cents to $1 for teas which they were formerly able to buy from 50 to 10 cents per pound, and more particu larly o when we all realize that the orig inal grower is deriving no benefit what soever from this increased price. Two distinct factors have entered into the laid -down cost of teas to such an extent that the average cost, taking all kinds into consideration, i practically double what it was a year ago. These two factors are freight rat en and rates of exchange. Many ships have been commandeered by the Brit ish government, and now by the American Government, which leaves very few freight carriers for commercial purposes, thus en abling the owners of those carriers to de mand whatever they may see fit In freight rates. Only a few years ago tea was pay ing approximately $6 per ton from Japan to the Pacific Coast, whereas the rate to day Is over f'JO per ton, with a rate of $60 to $70 per ton from Chinese points, and proportionately higher from Ceylon and In dia. In addition to this, the uncertainty of sailings and shortage of freight space have given those holding teas In this country an opportunity to dispose of tliern at extremely high prices. The second factor, exchange, has in the past not affected the cost of merchandise to an extent where It has been particularly noticeable from the consumer's standpoint, but today sliver is worth about $1. whereas heretofore it has been averaging around 50 cents, so In the final analysis the very con siderable Increase Is going to the ship owner, which tho ultimate consumer is forced, to pay. Xo relief appears In sight for several years after the war ends, from the freight fttandpolnt. as Kurope will necessarily need supplies of various kinds from all the coun tries of the world. This will continue to tax available ships and those being buiit. Kven with this extremely high price, tea Is still a most economical household bever age. Inasmuch as one pound will make liOO cuds, so that at $1 per pound each cup will cost only half a cent. FOREIGN CROP KVS tNFAVORABLE Weather Conditions Had in Nearly All Parts of Kurope. Crop conditions in Kurope are mostly un favorable, according to Broom hall, who has Issued the following summary I " Russia All advices, with the exception of aemi-ofTicial reports, are unanimous that AVInter grains have suffered severely from the drouth, which affected the Central Km pires and Roumanla. Movement of all grain In the interior is light, owing to poor rail way facilities. The enemy's invasion In volved large stores in that section. North very cold. France Very unfavorable weather has at tended harvest and this work is Impeded. Yields unfavorable and quality not satlsfac- j too. Movement slow, as tarmers are dls- j satisfied with official price of S7s per 4S0 pounds and supplies are scanty. Italy Latest reports refer very unfavor ably to harvest results and the yield will show greatly under last year. Quality fair. Supplies are light and foreign arrivals In creasing. The government Is supplying bread at a low arbitrary price, which is drawn from the people by taxes. Germany All neutral advices refer to the outturn of crops as un favorable. Potatoes fair yield of line quality. Balkan States Harvesting Is finished and threshing also. Yields better than expect ed and much is being exported overland. Plowing for new crops large. Spain Harvest finished, with yield large and quality good. Scandinavian Peninsula Crop outlook poor and harvesting is revealing a small yiold of inferior quality. Supplies are scanty and importation very light. Consumption Is very small, owing to Government regula tions. United Kingdom Very unfavorable weather attends harvesting, with frequent beavy rain and wind. Serious damage from shedding and sprouting reported, Oats fairly favorable and potatoes good. India Weather favorable for the moment. Plowing is progressing, with Indications of at materially enlarged acreage. Aun ralia Rains continue to be reported and this should enable the crops to make rapid growth as soon as springlike weather is established. Xorth America Harvesting Was attended by favorable weather and results are better than earlier expected. EXCHANGE SESSION IS POSTPONED No New Developments In Icao Oats or Barley Markets. The noon session of the Merchants Ex change was diepensed with, owing to the meeting of grain in en to hear the state men s of 3d. H. Houser and T,. B. "W ilcox, Of the Food Administration.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3. Officials of the Bureau of Markets say that a number of causes have a bearing on the increase In the receipts of cattle and decrease for hogs and sheep. The Increase In cattie shipments is In part due to an effort to market the animals because of the high prices that have been obtained for them, coupled with tiie greatly increased prices of ieds and the several droughts that have prevailed In the Southwestern section. Some dairy ani mals have undoubtedly come to market from these causes, coupled with a desire on the part of dairymen to keep only bigb-uroduc- ing stock and to get rid of cattle that will not be profitable as milk producers. Last year au unusually large number of hogs and sheep came to market In response to high prices and the receipts at the stock yards so far this year are believed to repre sent rather a return to the normal move merit than a distinct falling off la the sup piy. In the north central part of the country the receipts of hogjs t most of the packing centers have shown no falling off and in some cases an increase. Ohio points and some in Indiana, Illinois and Iowa show slight increases in bog movements, bu many of the larger centers, such as Chi cago, Kansas City Vnd St. Paul, show de creases, and the aggregate tailing off Is considerable. Receipts of sheep have shown decreases almost every where, but a few places in the Far West, notably Denver, and in the Southwest, especially in Texas, hav shown decided increases. These Increases. therefore. represent range-raised rath than farm-raised sheep. MAR STOCKS WEAKEN Heavy Selling of Industrials Unsettles Market.

Dullness was the chief characteristic of today's stock mar ket, trading falling off sharpty until the filial hour, when heavy selling of indus tries, especially tho war slocks, caused an unsettled close.

Utilities, motors, oils and various mis cellaneous shares moved wit bin narrow limits until the belated liquidation else where induced a renewal of short selling in those groups.

Central Oregon ranks first In the number of commercial apiaries, the Columbia basin second and Southern . Oregon third. The Coaet region and the foothills of the Ca tades are famous for their vine maple and fireweert honey. Portions of tle Willam ette Valley have produced an 4 abundance of honey, largely from the French pink. In recent years large areas oftaUike are being grown. This clover promises to revo lutionize the industry In the Valley, as its production increase this region may equal or surpass any other portion of the state for commercial honey production. Many colonies are maintained solely for pollen! zatlon. by orch aroints, yet the honey pro duced adds considerably to their income. Lime rock In Klickitat County Washing ton, has been fully tested out and the re sults have been highly gratifying. The Gol dendsle Sentinel says: "All of the lands in this country will do better and grow more thrifty crops if lime fs supplied. This has been demonstrated many -times In the pa-rtt and several carloads of lime have been shipped, to this point. Machinery Xor pul- verixlne the rnrk will be Installed. Tf only a Kinall part of the demand for lime In thla country can be locally filled the pro moters of thia company will bring many dollars to this county and at the Mme time furnish the farmers a fertlllrcr at an ad vantageous price." The American Kxploratlon Company, of Grants Pats. one of the most active factor In the Southern Oregon field this season, has taken an option on 200 acres of fine placer ground on Ualla Creek, tbree miles south of Gold Hill, and a crew of men uu ter the direction of J. C Matttson are working the property, which carries a gen erous water right. This Is one of the old- est mines In the field, having been worked to some degree ever since the early '50a. Harvey J. Sallee. of Shasta County, has recently taken over the old Baron mine, nine miles east of Ashland, and 25 men are preparing for acttve operations. The mine will employ about 60 men. A 16-foot vein n the property carries, in addition to its gobi content, a liberal amount of silver and antimony. c The Applegate mine. IT miles from Jack sonville, Is making regular shipments of antimony to San Francisco and to Atlantic points. Copper ore running as high as S3 per cent has been opened up on the property of the Cnited Copper Company at the head of Grave Creek In Southern Oregon. Harry Burk and C. H. Parson, of Stevens ville. Mont., have been obliged to refuse an offer for a contract to furnish lOOO young chickens a day for the Spring of 1918. Thnry are establishing a big poultry plant on the Parson ranch on Upper Three Mile, but could not possibly fill such a large order. Their entire output for 1t17 has been en gaged. Among Stevensvllle poultrymen are the following: H. B. Llddcl. 12O0 hens: F. IL Nichols. 70O hens; D. Sullivan. 500 hens; O. P.. Roberts. 500 hens: Fred Rey nolds. 750 hens; John S.

The Buehner Lumber Companr. of North Bend, has decided to commence construc tion work on a new planing mill a soon as two and a half million feet of lumber, piled on the site of the projected mill, can be moved. Draughtsmen have been at work for some time on the plans. A new engine has been installed, also a new drill. Work In the camps and yard Is making good prog ress under Mr. Chatfield, the new foreman, who came to Coos Bay from Grays Har bor, but vm formerly in the employ of the Buehner Lumber Company at the Carl ton mill. . The new by-products factory at Marsh field has turned out Its first charcoal from old cedar logs and stumps, with considera ble quantity of oil. proving that the imlua try can be made a great commercial suc cess. Representatives of wooden shipyards on the Pacific Coast have been buying up the locust trees In the Irrigated country east of the Cascade Mountains to use the w-ood for nails and pins in the wooden ships. Workmen In the employ of the buyers cut down the locust trees, chop them up. take away the stuff they wish and leave the remainder on the ground. Tho shipbuilders use the locust wood because It Is strong and does not decay. The farmer in the Irrigated country grows the locust because It Is the most beautiful of all the fast-growing trees. Refrigerator cars have created a great demand for Ice. and Milton will supply some of it with a new ice factory, now building. Tillamook County Holstein breeders pro pose to build a cheese factory, starting with a capital of $5000. divided into $K'0 shares, and with 400 cows.
