THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1918. 19 SHARP RISE OCCURS OF TEAS PRICES Costs Have Advanced From 50 to Nearly 100 Per Cent. CONSUMER TO FEEL EFFECT Heretofore, Dealers Have Absorbed Advances, but From Now On Prices "Will Be Based on Costs. present price most dealers are of the opin ion that trading will be more active and consumption will increase. Ranch Eg Arrivals Very Small. Receipts of Oregon ranch eggs at the present time are equal to only a frac tion of the city's requirements, and there Is no chance for much lncreaae In the sup ply for several weeks yet- . Prices were firm and higher yesterday at 68 cents for candled stock. Cube butter was very firm with cube extras again selling at 63 H cents. Poultry receipts were large and the under tone of the market was weak. Ore seed meats were also easier, particularly bogs. Teas of a!l sorts and descriptions are climbing in price. The consumer has felt some of these advances, and from now on will begin to . feel more of them- Up to the present time many retailers have had old stocks, and to a greater or less extent have sold them on the basis of old costs, but now this will change, as teas have ad vanced in cost all the way from 60 to prac tically 100 per cent. The teas most in demand on this Coast, Japanese teas, have practically doubled in cost since before the war, but the importer and retail grocer have until now been ab sorbing more or less of the difference. From this time on, however, the consumer must expect to pay on the basis of the new costs. The reason for advances in tea are the same as prevail in this country which have caused advances on all goods, but beyond that Is the enormously increased cost of sil ver. Teas are paid for in the country of production with silver. "When silver costs double what it used to it Is easy to see why teas advance. Besides that, freight that used to bo 2 cents per pound has gone up to as high as 14 cents per pound. The consumer up to this time has been very well treated by the retailer, but in the future must expect to pay a price based on the cost of the goods. tVASHrNGTOX CHOPS CXDER AVERAGE Weather Conditions Kesponsible for Small lelfls of heat, Oats and Barley. The "Washington state crop report for Oc tober, issued by E. T. Marchetti, field agent of the Department of Agriculture, says: "VVlitat The wheat crop is 2,7SS,8i.5 bush e!s less than the unusually small crop of last year, in spite of an average increase of 333 000 acres. The quality is somewhat superior to last year in the Palouse and Walla Walla sections excepting that smut is more gen cral. In the Big Bend and adjacent coun ties the weights per measured bushel were under pre-liarvest expectations. oats Oats on the La Conner Flat In fc-kagit County yielded considerably below average, and in the Palouse, Ferry and Ste vens counties the crop is much lighter than the unusually small crop of a year ago. The Quality, generally, is below average. Barley The barley crop, located prin cipally in Columbia, Garfield, Walla Walla, Asotin and Whitman counties, is the small est in the history of the state on account of unfavorable climatic conditions and aphides damage. Occasional fields were abandoifed uue 10 ngnt yields, ana in many sections where a surplusage is normally produced barley has been imported this year for feed Owing to hot weather damage, the weight per measured bushel is lighter than usual.
