BAGS WILL BE HIGH
No Cheap Grain Sacks
Farmers This Year.

HALF OF NEEDS BOUGHT
Transportation Problem More Dif
ficult Than Last Season Cal
cutta Market Higher Because
of British Purchases.
TTiere will be no cheap grain bars for
Pacific Coast farmer this year. Thera la
great uncertainty as to what price will
prermlL but Users t nothing uncertain about
the strength of the market. In alt prob
ability the prices will be the highest ever
recorded.
Last year It was exceedingly difficult to
rt grain base from Calcutta to the Pacific
Coast, and thla year the obstacles will be
till greater, with less tonnaga to be bad
end freight rates further advanced. The
burlap requirements of the British ot
eromant are Increasing, and this Is cans-
inc prices la India to advance steadily.
locally the situation la still further
strengthened by the fact that there
practically no carry-over from 1915 stocks.
If space were available for early ship
ment from Calcutta to this coast, prices
now would be not less than 10 H or 10
cents for shipments. Spot baas sold during
the past week at 11 H cents. They were
not taken for Immediate use, but so that
the buyers mlg-ht be sure of having them
on hand when wanted in July- No one is
willing; to sell under 11 or 11 cents for
poltlve delivery In July.
Shipments from Calcutta to the Pacific
Coast are usually made In February and
March, but because of the uncertainties
thla year preparations are on a much re
duced scale. It Is estimated that not half
. the requirements of the Coast have been
bought te date.
Conditions In the Ka stern burlap market
re described in mail advices from New
York as follows:
'gome burlap Importers reported consid
erable Inquiry for spot lightweights yes
terday, particularly eight-ounce 40s, a few
carload lots were disposed of early In the
day at T.lOc, but subsequently the quota
tion was moved up to 7.25c, which was
considered the market, price when busi
ness for the day came to a close. Several
carload lots In addition to those which
changed hands could have been sold at
7.10c. but as It was found impossible to
rover a price that would make sales at
7.10o profitable stock, goods were moved
u p to a 7.5o basis.
"Heavyweights were also called for. but
the demand lor tnese was not as good as
for lightweights. Forty-inch 10 H -ounce was
sought. One carload unioiding from the
l.ord Cromer was offered at llo a yard.
Ten-ounce 40a which are due to arrive
about the end of thla week, were quoted
at BiJr of 10.35c on 30-ounce 40s
which are nearby were declined.
There was a fair amount of business to
bo had If holders were willing to accept
the low bids that were mado.
Calcutta was reported to be firmer. Quo
tations were received which showed ad
vances of six ponce a hundred yards over
the quotations named three days ago. Ad
vances were the sharpest for the more re
mote posttiona but this uplift was not un
expected, as late months had been relatively
low for some time."
CANNING MAY BE OVERDONE IN 1916
Danger of Excessive Production Pointed
Out by Authority.
Men in the canning industry fear the pre
vailing prosperity of the canned goods trade
and the opening of a great foreign demand,
due to the war. may lead to over-production
In the coming season. In an effort
to discourage such an over-production the
fanner says:
"Prosperity seems to be growing like a
tropical plant, anil it threatens to Include
In the shade of its sheltering branches the
whule canning industry and all Us depen
dencies. Nothing can keep the canning
Industry from the enjoyment of a pro
tracted period of prosperity but the over
eagerness of the canners themselves to
take advantage of a particularly favorable
opportunity to gather in proiits. The can
ning capacity of already established plants
Is so large snd acreage so easily overdone
that only a proper conservatism can keep
conditions sound and the future roseate.
There seems an Innate desire In most can
nem to go ahead too fast, and so th Can
ner points to his human weakness as about
tho only thing likely In 1916 to frighten
prosperity away.
"The 1015 corn pack was pretty nearly
larce enough. The pea pack was abnormal
Iy large for the acreage, hut acreage was
ample anyway. The tomato pack would
have ben much larger but for a particu
larly unpropltious growing season, and as
we are unlikely to have another right away.
we may -stWy conclude that plenty of to
matoes were planted last Summer. In no
one of these crops should the acreage for
the coming season be Increased. The horl-
nn Is brlrht; In fart, the danger of ex
cessive acreage Is the only cloud darken
ing It. The length of the period of pros
perity approaching win be determined by
the csnners themselves."
unchanged hers. Southern California fruit
Is coming on the market, but the same on
dltlons -exist as was the case In Northers.
California, large sizes predominating all
the way through. The Southern stock, how
ever. Is fancy and well colored, which is
great help In the sale of oranges.
The lemon market also holds up very
firmly, the Eastern market controlling' the
situation at the present time.
LIGHT TRADING JS HOP MARKET
Priors Are Unchanged "With Moderate De
mand and Few Sellers.
The few hop sales announced at the close
of the week showed no change in market
conditions or prices. The demand Is still
light and there are no indications of an lnv
mediate revival. The Wilson lot of 47 bales
at Aurora was bought by the Wolf Hop
Company at 11 cents. T. A. Ltvesley A Co-
paid 9 cents for the Eckels n crop of 88
bales at Mcillnnville. The same firm bought
the Ha user A Wertx lot of 44 bales at Tygh
Valley.

at 9 cents, and the Henrtot crop of 05 bales.

The attitmle of Knellsh mlllem vrain

lace or tne abundant yields everywhere
available.
In regard to tha freight Question, there
IS always a feeling that something may
happen which would relievo some of the
pressure caused by the scarcity of tonnare
for ocean transport. That strenuous ef
forts are being made to meet the shortara
of vessels is proved by the fact that com
paratively eM steamers are being purchased
at prices laouiousiy nign. ana sooner or
later the government may be in a position
to release some of the tonnaae under its
control.
As regards the outlook for the coming
crops, there has not been any Indication
of conditions which would militate against
the splendid promise of the Argentine crop,
which is expected to be well up to the
previous record. In some sections of Aus
tralia heavy rains are reported, which. If
prolonged, may dim the brilliant prospects

Wllmer Slcg; Declares That Attitude of
Shippers Ia to Co-operate With
the Federal Officials.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. Jan. 15. (Spe
cial.) "We have every reason to look
forward to the marketing- of next year's
apple crop with the fullest measure of
optimislm, says w nmer oies. saies
managrer of the- Apple Growers' Asso
ciation, who returned thla week from
Spokane, where he attended the meeting-
of the Northwestern Fruit Ship
pers' League with the representatives
of markets of the United States De
partment of Agriculture and Federal
Trades Commission.
"We shippers feel that the work, or
the men who have been sent to us has
v.een thoronc-h. for all three of them.
Clarence W. Moomaw, W. H. Kerr and"
Charles E. Bassett, have had former
experience In the field they have been
covering.
Mr. Seig believes that estimates of
next year's apple-bearing acreage have
been much exaggerated. An estimate
e-lven the Growers' Council for the
Hood River country by Gordon C. Cor
baley, of Spokane, Is 25,000 acres. Mr.
Sieg thinks this is 40 per cent too high.
Truman Butler, Hood River repre
sentative of the Northwestern Grow
ers' Council, organized last Winter at
Seattle and Tacoma, Wash., meetings,
is at Tacoma in conference with W. H.
Paulhamus and Mr. Corbaley, other
members of the executive committee of
the body, settling up old business of
the council and considering possible
methods of future co-operation among
growers.
Volume of General Business Main
tained at High Level-All Metal
Markets Are Advancing Rail
way Traffic Increases.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15. Trading in securi
ties during the week was attended by high
ly Irregular movements. In which special
ties suffered substantial declines and re
coveries. The early period was marked by
very general selling of munition shares,
some of those stocks falling to levels which
effaced fully half of last Autumn's meteor-
to gains
Further uneasiness was provoked by the
ominous features of the Mexican situation. .
Stocks with connections in that country
broke sharply, but also made partial re
covery later on Washington's attitude of
non-intervention.
There was further discussion of industrial
and commercial conditions, predicated In
part upon the general statement issued by
Chairman Gary, of the United States Steel
Corporation, but this was nullified to a
great extent by the Steel Corporation's De
cember tonnage statement and an increas
ing belief in the early resumption of divi
dends on steel common.
Metal markets lost naught of their recent
extraordinary strength, copper being in fur
ther demand at 24 cents and even better.
Silver and the baser metals kept pace with
this movement and oil shares rose as a re
sult of the continued inquiry for that prod
uct. A merger of some of the largest oil
producing companies operating In California
and Mexico was virtually consummated.
Railroads Issued reports showing large
gains in gross returns for the first week of"
tile new year.
Trade in general shows some falling oft
as compared with the big volume of holi
day business, but bank clearings Indicate a
plethora of money at reserve centers Rail
road tonnage is still so large as to make a
continuance of tha recent embargo neces-.
sary.
The only direct reflection of the Euro
pean situation was offered by the erratic
course of foreign exchange. Remittances on
Germany hardened perceptibly and rates on
London and Paris were nrm, but Italian
exchange fell to its lowest record, mainly
as a result of unsatisfactory economic con-,
ditions in that country.
