THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAtf. FRIDAY OCTOBER 19, 1917. i GABS ARE LACKING Orders for Potatoes Are Being Sent Elsewhere. DEMAND HAS BEEN GOOD Triers Offered to Farmers for Ship ment Are Liberal, in View or Quotations Prevailing in JLocal Jobbing Trade. Shipping orders for Oregon potatoes have been coming forward freely, but dealers re handicapped in filling them by the scarcity of cars. I is impossible to get refrigerator cars, ven for Government busi ness, and only a few boxcars are to be had. Could the orders now booked be dis patched promptly, more orders would be sent here, but the delay in getting the po tatoes moved is having the effect already of diverting business to other points where the transportation facilities are better. Local shippers have been offering $1.25 t country points for good shipping stock and up to SI. r.o for fancy potatoes. These re considered to be good values in view of the jobbing prices now ruling in this market, which are not much above the prices farmers are receiving at their sta tions, tin Front street quotations generally range, from $1.30 to SI. 75 for Oregons of good table size, while Yakima have been offered by jobbers for some time at $1.75. MORE POULTRY IS KKDE1 FOR FOOD Secretary of Agriculture Culls on ; rowers to Increase Production for Meat. The Secretary of Agriculture points out the Importance of increasing poultry on the farms in the following letter transmitted to the American Poultry Association through Marry M. Lamon : "l hope that the coming meeting of the A merican Poultry Association, which you w 111 attend as a representative of the De partment, will be highly successful and pro ductive of good results. I need not point out that an adequate supply of foodstuff is essential to the effective prosecution of the struggle In which we are engaged. We must not only supply our own needs, but we must endeavor to meet In part the needs of the nations with w hich we are co-oper-atlng. The poultry industry can render very great service to the Nation in this emer gency. "The production of poultry is one of the bet means of bringing about a Quick in crease in the meat supply of the country. In many sections, particularly In the South, the number of fowls on Individual farms can and should be very largely increased. If the improved methods which have been worked out by the experts of the state ag ricultural colleges, the experiment stations and the Department of Agriculture were generally adopted, many of the problems confronting poultrymen wouid be solved or minimized. The Department is co-operating with the Industry In many directions and stands ready, of course, to render any as sistance It can." oiTLtrr is rooK ion local oats Portland and Pugpt Sound Dealers Well NtockAl With Eastern Article.

Oct. 3. Stork moved for ward in a convincing fashion today, despite the further weakness shown by isolated is surs. notably coppers. Much of the activity centered around the war group, particularly steels, at extreme gains of 2 to 7 points. The advance was materially aided by ex tensive short covering and heavy buying from com mission-house, w ho were reported to be acting for Western interests. There were vngue rumors of early developments at Washington, which nre expected to re dound to the advantage of several of the n unitious companies now filling large con tracts for thw allies. Ralls shared in the rise. Low grade or reorganized transportation issues were more prominent than ueual, the steady accumu lation of Southern Railway common and preferred. Rock Island.

LAST PRICES FJRWI, HIGHER Government Officials Xot Planning to Reduce Hog Values to $10 Hundredweight Oats Gain. "With Export Demand. CHICAGO. Oct. IS. Bullish constructions put on announcements from the Food Ad ministrator touching corn and hog values rallied the corn and provisions markets to day after early declines. Corn closed firm c to ffc net higher with December at $1.151-15, and May $t.HHi 1.1 1 . Oates gained K&ac to f We. Tbe finish in provisions ranged from 52u setback to ris of 13c. Predictions of a cold wave tonight were chiefly responsible for temporary down turns which corn prices underwent. When attention was directed to statements of the Food Administrator denying that Onvern ment officials were planning a reduction of hog values to $10 a hundredweight, corn began to ascend. The main reason appeared be that the untrue reports of a $10 standard in prospect for hogs had been coupled with talk of an accompanying prob able slash of corn prices to $1 a bushel. Kxport demand lifted oats. Sharp declines In the hog market weak ened provisions at first. Later demand broadened from packers and seaboard in tsrests. Influenced apparently ny the pub Ushed views of the Food Administrator. Leading futures ranged as follows: CORN. Open. Hich. Low.
