TIIE MOUSING OREGONIAy, WEDNESDAY, . JUNE 30, 1920 1 . ' 1 r i wCASCARA BARKPEEL HEAVY THIS SUMMER Year Ago 12,000,000 Pounds Obtained in Northwest. PRICE HIGHER THAN USUAL Good Market Exists and Peelers Io Well In Coast Counties of State. Very tew persons in Oregon realize the Importance of the cascara bark industry. As the weather is becoming better and people are making for the woods for their yearly vacations, bark peelers are getting I , , ' busy. 6ome combine1 business with plea- t are and make enough money by peeling cascara bark to more than pay their vaca f tlon expenses. Others make a business of v gteellng bark. The sap la running In the trees now and bark peeling Is In full swing. "Last year over 12,000,000. pounds of ' Cascara bark was produced in Oregon and Washington," said George M. Sullivan of the Sullivan Hide & Wool company, one of the largest bark firm in the north- -wee. "It grows only In Oregon. Washlng j ton and British Columbia and northern California. As this bark brought an av v erase of 12 cents per pound to the peelers, the year's accumulation brought nearly a mil l ton and a half of eastern dollars to . the states of Oregon and Washington. This - year the peel is, from all indications. i going to be very large, and while we do not look for as large a production as last season, which was the largest in history. we are sure that the average price for the season will be around 10 cents. This la the price generally being paid today for new bark, although in some cases a little more money can be had for good lots of dry. clean bark. I "There seems to be a good early de 1 roand this season for the bark from east f ern drug concerns. The export demand, which in former years came principally ' from Germany and England, is nil, on account, principally, of the exchange sit uation, but. as this is gradually lighting ' Itself, with the pound sterling around $4. business with England in cascara bark ? should result, which would have a stimu lating effect on prices. The normal price for cascara bark is around 5 cents to 6 f cents. . At the present price of 10 cents i to 11 cents, good money can be made by anyone taring to get a little recreation t In the Oregon woods. Bark Is plentiful in some sections, particularly In the Till amook country, and in the Grays Harbor section of Wasnington. There is prac- itically no limit of the amount of this i barK that we can use this season, as we I have orders and more orders for It coming every day." JILV OATS BIDS ARE LOWER Other Coarse Grain Offers Unchanged on Loral Board. The grain market continues quiet local ly. At the Merchants' Exchange July oats were 50 cents lower and other bids were the same as Monday.

Many of Unusual Speculative Fa vorites Are Entirely Ignored. Time Money Firmer. NEW YORK, June 29. Business of the stock exchange today was -without par allel in point of dullness and general un importance in almost 18 months. Total transactions of about 250.000 shares were the smallest of any full session since De cember of 1918. Standard shares were alternately Irreg ular to firm, a steady tone prevailing at the close on short covering ' in rails, steels and oils. Many of the usual favorites in the sev eral speculative groups were altogether Ignored. Moderate withdrawal of funds by local banks for federal payments and prelimi nary shifting of deposits' in anticipation of July Interest and dividend , Jsburse ments were reflected In tighter time rates. Nine per cent was bid for 30 and 60-day accommodations, with few offerings. Easement was shown by the call money market. Early loans wrre made at 9 per cent, that quotation holding until the final hour, when moderate-sums were available at 1 to 1V4 per cent reduction. Statements of earnings for - May em braced some of the more important rail road systems. These were rather mixed, however. Southern Pacific, for example, showing a large gain in net. while Atchi son & Missouri Pacific reported heavy losses. Trading in bonds was relatively large, the general domestic list, including liberty issues, again easing, while foreign flo tations. notably Anglo-French 0s and Bel gian 7 Vis, were firm. Total sales (par val ue) aggregated $13,250,000. Old United states bonds were unchanged' on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Last Sales. High.

WEATHER FAVORS CORN TIMELY RAIXS REPORTED OVER LARGE TERRITORY, Bearish Sentiment In Chicago Mar ket Emphasized by Predictions of Liberal Receipts. CHICAGO, June 29. Timely rain In Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois resulted In lower prices today for com and oats. Corn closed unsettled at lc to lc net de cline, with July $1.75 to $1.76 and September$1.71 to $1.71. Oats lost le to lc. In provisions, the outcome varied from 5 cents backset to an advance of 2 cents. It was generally agreed that the crop outlook for corn, as well as oats, had been Improved. Bearish sentiment regarding corn was further emphasized by predic tions that liberal receipts would continue during the next week and perhaps through out the week following. On the price downturns that ensued, speculative buying was apparent and numerous rallies took place. In the oats market, better weather was more than a counterbalance for Iowa and Illinois reports that actual crop damages bad been suffered.- Provisions were firm, owing to higher quotations on hogs. Business consisted mostly of changes from July contracts to September. The Chicago market letter received yes terday by the Overbeck. & Cooke company or Portland said : Corn Fluctuations were exceedingly irregular and although the tendency was downward most of the session, the close was .comparatively firm. Sentiment at p-.-esent is more confused than In a long time. Ordinarily this is the season when constructive endeavors meet with success, due to crop uncertainty, but as an offset to this fundamental conditions have grad ually worked around where the bear has more advantage by reason of fading cash pre.nlums and the continued liberal move ment to terminal markets. There has been a better shipping demand for corn recently which, nowevsr, is not at all unusual, as there is to reason why advantage should not be taken of larger receipts to fill te- qutrements. Numerous and frequent ral lies are to be expected from time to time and we think it the part of wisdom to take advantage of same to make sales. oats The independent strength that feawired the market yesterday was en tirely absent today. Rains in sections of the belt that had been sending discourag ing reports aue to laclc ot moisture, tern pered bullish enthusiasm to a consider able degree. We think leadinr holders nt futures win pe more disposed to reduce tnan Increase their lines at this level. Provisions Fairly active, higher hor marKec causing oariy strength. As usual liquidation of July contracts made its appearance on the bulge. There was little easing in carrying charges; 23.000 hogs uieo ior tomorrow and 13,000 carritd over. ..fading futures ranged as follows: Corn Onen CMe July $1.77 $1.75 oepu- 1.1s 1.71 Dec 1.57 1.57 July 1 04 1.03 Dec. 84 .83 J 6VI 1C July 1.47 1.4.1 Sept, 1.36 1.36 Rve July 2.15 2.15 Cash prices were: Wheat No. 3 red. $2.70; No. S hard.

It is not to be classed with roofing manufactured of ordinary felt because Carey Felt is unusually tough and strong, yet so constructed that it soaks up iy times its own weight of Carey Asphalt just as a sponge soaks up water. The Felb is run through a hot bath of Asphalt. When the Asphalt cools it will not change its form under any ordinary degree of heat or cold. Therefore Roofing gives long service in all climates. ' Carey Asphalts are the result of 47 years of practical experience and scientific investigation. That is why we recommend Carey Roll Roofings and why you will find they will give you better service.
