FISH POTATO CROP
Without Moisture Oregon Yield
May Be Light.
ONION PROSPECT SIMILAR
Growing Crops to Date Not Mate
rially Damaged, but Much Hangs
on Weather From Now On.
Rain will be necessary to lva Oreson
anything: like a. full potato crop, accord
Inv to local dealers who have canvassed
crop conditions In a number of the leading
potato growing districts. To date the crop
appears not to have suffered to any great
extent as a result of the warm, dry weather
of the past few wteks, but the late plant
ings, it is said, have reached a stage where
moisture Is necessary to develop the tubers.
In some fields the vines still show decidedly
healthy color and growth, but generally it
Is conceded that even a light rain would
work a material change for the better In
the situation.
The acreage In potatoes in this state Is
more or less a matter of speculation, but
the wholesale merchants who keep In touch
with crop conditions incline to the belief
that the area planted to the crop in this
state this year is slightly under that of
last year. The yield as compared with
that of 191S obviously will, in a large way,
depend upon the weather from this time on.
The little rain that fell in some parts yes
t"n!ay was not enough to do any material
good.
The potato market for the time shows
little or no change. Xo carlot arrivals were
reported yesterday, but supplies on hand
were ample and the demand and movement
were moderate. Local White Rose pota-:
tors sold generally at 3&34 cents a pound.
The onion crop prospect appears to be
quite similar to tiaat of potatoes. Rain Is
needed to make the crop a full one, but It
is believed that even if but little rain
falls bat ween now and harvest time there
will be a fair yield. Moisture, however,
would greatly swell the output.
For the time .the onion trade Is depend
ing almost wholly upon supplies from the
Walla Walla district. The crop from that
section is just beginning to come In. and
on the street the product Is selling at $394
a hundred. Generally the offerings show
pood quality.
California onions are coming In a limited
way and selling at prices around $2.75,
f. o. b. California shipping points. The prices
at which CaHfornias are held are said to be
too high for competition with the Walla
Walla product, so the latter for the present
has the local field almost wholly to itself.
COABSE GRAINS SLIGHTLY LOWER
Bids at Merchants Exchange Show Declines
on Oats and Barley.
There was a somewhat easier feeling in
the local feed-grain trade today, declines of
SO cents on several deliveries being noted.
Weather reports from Argentina told of
torrential rains In that country which It Is
feared will cause further deterioration in
the condition of the new corn crop.
The Modern Miller cays:
"The winter wheat belt shows disappoint
ing yields and quality not up at expecta
tions. The crop is still going backward
in the spring wheat country, and this Is
i he case especially In parts of South Da
kota, where there has been damage by black
rust. Blight and smut have affected the
plant in North Dakota and South Minne
sota. There will be a further reduction in
the crop of wheat of both the northwest
and southwest. Wheat is moving in larger
quantities and the receipts will enow marked
increase from this time forward.
"A fair crop of wheat ha been secured in
England, but dry weather in a way has re
duced the yields of feed grains. Outlook in
France Is fair, but considerable supplies will
have to be imported. Advice from Germany
is limited, but the crop situation is sup
posed to be better than generally expected.
In Russia crops are reported to be smaller
than for some years. In Italy reports gen
erally are favorable; about SO.OOO.OoO bushels
op wheat will .have to be imported. -In
t he Scandinavian countries fair yields are
expected. South American crops are favor
able. In Australia seeding is somewhat
backward owing to unseasonable weather."
The weather forecast for the middle west
ern grain belt follows:
Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas,
continued fair and warmer; Iowa, North
Dakota, South Dakota, fair, slightly cooler;
St. Louis, fair and warmer weather pre
dicted. Cereal and other receipts for the day, in

CHICAGO EXCHANGE.
Heavy Profit-Taking Sales Have
Bearish Effect and- Losses Are
Noted at the Close.
CHICAGO. Ju:y 23. After jumping to
the hlehest prices yet for December delivery,
the corn market today reacted under heavy
prof it-taking sales by holders. The- bulire
was due In the main to over-topping of all
previous hoc prices and to dry weather that
tend.d to increase, fear of crop damage.
Nervouineira prevailed at the close, which
ranired from M cent net decline, to 1 H cents
advance. with r-eptember XI. 0 0 1.04 Ti
and December $1.1QH Q 1.6HS. Oats finished
1 n 4l 1 i cents down. In provisions the
outcome varied from unchanged figures to
7 cents higher.
Unloading on the advance In the corn
market came chiefly from longs, who be
lieved the technical position had been weak
ened by the lo-cent rls. which had taken
place In the December option since Satur
day.
Hedging of the new crop did much to
weigh down tho oats market even before
there was any talk of re-selling by the gov
ernment. rrovlslons reflected the strength of hogs.
