WHEAT YET HIGHER
Another Advance Made in Quo
tations for Cereal.
RECORD IS AGAIN BROKEN
Exchange Prices Go to Highest Point
This Season Some Falling Off
in Sales Reported Canada
Crop Is Big Factor.
Xti record for wheat quotation for thU
feaion wort aaln brolcan In th Portland
market yesterday when the bid price of
blueetem went to $1.17 a bushel. The
advance recorded was a half cent better
than the price prevailing on that ft-rade of
wheet for the preceding day and was made
In the face of a practically stationary mar
ket In Chicago.
The advance In bluest em quotations was
aoooznpanled by similar or arreater advances
In the prloee of the other a-radea of wheat.
The greatest advance recorded was In the
quotations for red fife, which made a Jump
of 2 cents over the ruling price on the
preceding; day. Red Russian quotations ad
vanced 1 cent over the bid price Friday,
and all other grades showed a half cent
advance.
The new quotations for wheat are: Blue
stem. $1.17tt; forty-fold. $1.15; club. $1.12;
red fife. $1.10. and red Russian. $1.13.
Compared with the quotations ruling a
year ago, the price of wheat is particularly
satisfactory from the standpoint of the man
with wheat to sell. Prices a year ago were
from 8 to 17 cents lower on the different
grades of wheat.
The week which closed yesterday has been
one of a steady advance in wheat quotations.
The week's advance In quotations was as
follows: Bluestem, 8 cents; forty-fold, 8
cents; club. 0 cents; red fife, 9 cents, and
red Russian, 8 cents. The sales recorded
were numerous, and It is estimated that
over 10,000.000 bushels of wheat changed
hands during the week in the Pacific North
west. The volume of trade was probably
greatest during the early part of the week
Reports from different wheat centers yes
terday indicated a slight slackening in the
volume of sales. Dealers reported that offers
from the East were not so good ao those
made during the middle of the week when
prices in the Chicago 'and European markets
were making rapid advances.
The future of the wheat market depends
to a great extent upon the condition of the
crop in Western Canada, which is as yet to
a great extent an unknown quantity, ac
cording to the Northwestern Miller of Au
gust 9, which says:
"All attention is now centered on "Western
Canada. Black rust unquestionably exists
In not only Manitoba but In Southern Sas
katchewan as well. Samples of wheat cow
at Minneapolis prove this.
"Damage from rust and heat in Mani
toba and particularly the southern part, with
Brandon as the center, is conceded. From'
the big prospects of July 1 the damage In
.Manitoba is claimed to be 30 to 40 per cent.
"It will be two or three weeks before
vheat in the three provinces will be ready
to cut. This means It Is late, and there is
fear of possible early froqj. August 8 the
temperature around Regtna and Edmonton
was down to 44 to 40 degrees. While the
clays are usually hot. the wheat appears to
he not maturing- as fast as It should.
"The presence of black rust in Southern
Saskatchewan Is considered an unfavorable
condition. Samples at Minneapolis show the
rust in some cases Is on the stalk of the
plant. With the wheat so Immature those
who watched the progress of rust In South
Dakota believe that with hot, muggy
v. gather it could easily spread and prove
the agency for serious damage. The growth
Is dense
While from present conditions In Western
Canada good average crops of all grains can
be produced, the final showing depends on
the weather, and especially upon whether
the existing rust spreads aud becomes
active."
An estimate of the wheat yield this year
for the three provinces of Alberta, Mani
toba and Saskatchewan places It between
200.000,000 and 25,000.000 bushels. The
yield last year .was 807.000.000 buehols. The
anticipated shortage there, cotpled with
the shortage in the United State. Is taken
by the bulls of the wheat world as a further
Indication of record prices this year.

OREGON POTATOES OF GOOD QUALITY
Crop Production May Be Slightly Under
Yield of Last Year.
Oregon's potato crop will be of excep
tional quality this year. Judging from the
early receipts of those tubers which are
row coming In. The potatoes are of good
eize, shape, smooth and come up to the
requirements of a first-class trade.
The cr6p production this year will be
lightly below normal, according to the
latest estimates available, as Is true In all
of the four Western states which compete
Su this market. Reports Indicate, however.
tUat In all of those states. Oregon Wash
ington. Idaho and California, the quality
of the potatoes will be high.
A Government estimate places the potato
crop of Oregon this year at 91 per cent,
compared with an average for the last 10
years of 95 per cent. The estimate for the
other three states is as follows: Wash
ington, this year 0 per cent, for 10 years
per cent ; Idaho, this year 86 per cent,
3 years 94 per cent: California, this year
81 per cent, 10 years 90 per cent.
An estimate of the potato production In
the tour Pacific states, gauged by present
crop conditions, places it at 42,000.000 busli
e, compared with a production of 48,000.
0to last year. There is a decrease in acre
age In those four states of approximately
8S.030 acreV
The loss in both acreage and production,
h Is estimated. Is the greatest in California.
The anticipated decrease in potato pro
suction should make for a good market en
Ihe Coast. However, other things may coun
terbalance this, including crop conditions in
the East. The crop in the East is good
this year, and according to the best infor
mation available the potato production this
et-ason will reach 375,000.000 bushels, com
pared to S69.0OO.000 bushels a year ago.
However, local dealers are not of the opin
ion that the Increased production in the
East will affect the market materially here,
wing to the fact that "but few potatoes are
ahtpped East from this market.
At the present time the potato market is
In a somewhat unsettled condition with
varying prices. Dealers are paying as s
rule from S5 to 60 cents a bushel for the
tisw crop, and commission-ho use quotations
range from $1.25 to 1.35 a hundred. It
Is anticipated, of course, that these prices
will be materially lowered by the Influx of
potatoes on the market later In the season.
Practically all last year's crop potatoes are
now off tb market.
II IDE MARKET FAIRLY GOOD HERE
Good Demand for Leather for Export Re
ported From East.
The hide market continues fairly good In
Portland. Quotations remain unchanged
and a fair movement of the product is re
ported. Advices from la.rge Eastern centers Indi
cate that while the domestic market for
hides Is generally easier and trading is
spasmodic there Is still a good demand for
leather for export.
Dun's Review says of the New York hide
market:
"Country hides In all sections continue
low, with the tendency downward. Few
sales are znade.u tanners show a lack of
Interest for all "varieties and extremes now
are In even less demand than buff weights."
TOMATO MARKET CONTENTM FIRM
Increased Supplies of Cauliflower Now Ceme
-to Local Market.
The market for tomatoes continues firm,
with a very good volume of business. For
mer prices prevail. A carload was received
from California yesterday and is probably
the last which will come from that section
this season, as the local product is expected
to be sufficient to supply the demand from
now on.
Increased supplies of cauliflower are now
coming In, It la anticipated that a drop In
quotations on this vegetable will materialise
during the coming week.
PEACH MARKET SHOWS RATHER WEAK
Liberal Receipts of Peaches Received From
California,
As a result of liberal receipts from Cali
fornia and other points the peach market
here Is believed to be weaker than In most
other sections of the country, although -a
good volume of trade is reported. Prices
are not ranging above 75 and 80 cents for
the best grads.
The market Is also well supplied with
Crawford s.
Donglae Melon Crop Promising.
ROSE1BU.RG. Or., Aug. 12. (Special.)
That the watermelon crop In Douglas County
will be bigger this year than ever before
Is the belief of the growers. Better prices
axe expected this year than in previous sea
sons. Douglas County will produce several
carloads of melons, half of which will be
shipped to the Eastern mark eta As in
past years, the largest crop will come from
the Dlllard district.

market here. Closing prices, although un

Assertions that railway war mediation
had failed ted to a transient advance In the
wheat market at the beginning of the late
hour of the session. During the final trades,
however, the outlook was that a strike might
yet be averted and that exporters were
therefore not to be confronted with a possi
ble immediate comparative famine of sup
piles for Europe.
Corn developed strength. Influenced large

crop report. Oats bulged as a result of

BOISE. Idaho. Aug. 12. (Special.)
Southern Idaho shippers and growers are
up In arms over the tariffs filed with the
Put) Ho Utilities Commission by the Oregon
Short Line Railroad Increasing rates on fruit
In carload lots from (i0 to $30 a car. The
tariff is effective August 25. but the Com
mission will endeavor to have it suspended

Commerce Commission, where there Is a
complaint of th Iaaho Commission pend
ing against the tariff increasing refrigerator
rates try tne urt-gon tnort uine.
Growers and shippers of fruit here who
have been hit hard by the crop shortage
a eel are that the proposed increase in rates.
If thoy are allowed to stand, will mean
almost the ruin of the fruit Industry, and
State Horticultural Inspector Guy Graham
asserts that orchards In Southern Idaho
will have to be cut down In order that

Idaho offers a rich field to the fruit

WOULD FIX 'BOX SIZE
BILL. PASSED BY HOtE CAUSES
FAVORABLE COMMENT.
Action Is Now I'p to the Sena
ite.
Plan In Standnrdlzlnsr Berry
Basket la Outlined.
Action of the House In passing tha
-nones: grape ana oe-rry Datet bill,
sponsored 1-y Fepr?sentatlvs Tteavls. of Ne
braska, and preecrlbirt; dimensions for
standard baskets used tn the interstate
shipment of grapes, small fruits and 'ber
ries, has caused a gr.-at deal of favorable,
comment among fruit men. The bill was
urged by fruit growers for protection against
competitors using undersized containers.
The Mil has been sent to ths Senats and is
awaiting action there.
The terms of the bill were explained on
the part cf the Mouse committee on coin
asre. weights and mfasurt-s in Its report, as
follows:
"The climax basket specified In tha first
portion of the bill is the name of a stand
ard basket which has been generally used
by the grape growers of the country. This
basket Is not manufactured by any riven
manufacturer, but Is generally known by
the term -cllrr-ax basket.
"The demand for legislation, with refer-
ence to fixing- av standard for climax bas
kets, comes from the state of New York
and other grape-growing communities. Up
to tnis time tms basket has not oen
standardised as to size, and for that rea
son those grapegrowers who are pursuing
a legitimate Industry, and who are honest
ly endeavoring to give their customers full
measurements, are suiiering considerable
loss because of another class of a rape mer
chants, who are selling the same com
modity in baskets which they call climax
Baskets, but wnicn, in fact, are smaller in
capacity than the baaket aeneraUy knorwn
to the trade as the climax basket.
It Is in the Interest of honesty tn this
commerce to standardise the sue of the
basket, and the bill accomplishes this pur
pose.
"The second purpose of the bill Is to
standardize baskets and other containers
which differ from the climu basket so as
to Insure honesty In the fruit, berry and
vegetable business when resort Is had to
a different basket the container. The
request for a standard smaller basket for
berries, etc., comes largely from the South
anl Middle West.
"There are two classes of quarts known
to the trade. One Is called the 'dry quart
and the other the 'wine' or fluid ouart
The dry quart contains approximately one-
tnira greater capacity than the 'wine or
'fluid' quart. Legitimate berry and fruit
merchants have been disposing of their
product by 'dry quart and fractions and
multiples of the 'dry quart, but they are
constantly harassed and annoyed by com
petition which disposes of the same com
modity by the wine' or "fluid quart, with
the representation that they are selling
full quarts. The bill takes as lis standard
the 'dry quart and fractions thereof.
"The penalties In the bill apply only to
Interstate commerce in the containers, for
the reason that the committee on principle
and policy was opposed to attempting legis
lation with reference to intrastate business.
"The enactment of this bill, so universal
ly requested, will promote honesty In the
berry and fruit business; will insure the
customer receiving the full quantity of the
product which he seek to purchase and
will destroy the piratical competition from
which the legitimate fruit growers and mer
chants are now suffering so severely."

EXPORT TRADE TO CONTTNtTP; ACTIVE
Heavy Steel Orders Following War Will
Mlmulata Business.
Predictions that the export trade of the
United States will continue active following
the war are made by Henry Clews in his
weekly financial letter. Ha saya In part:
"When the war ends It Is practically cer
tain that big foreign orders will be received
from abroad for railroad equipment, indus
trial planta and other reconstruction re
qulrements which Europe cannot meet, it
has been estimated by high authority that
$3,000,000,000 will be required to replace the
necessary plants and property thus far de
stroyed In Belgium and France, and that a
goodly portion of such orders must come to
the United States. If this supposition proves
true, our export trade, especially of steel
products, will continue active after the war
with a consequent stimulus upon many other
industries."

APRICOTS FOR WASCO
COUNTY AGEXT CHASE EXPECTS
LARGE IX CREASE IX ACREAGE.
Co-operation -Clears Section of Malheur
of Rabbits Pints and Clover In
Josephine County.
. CORVALIUS. Aug 12. (Special.) Half
a doxen county agricultural agents report
activities to state Leader Marls this week
as follows:
Wasco County The last few days, with
the expert help of F. Galligan, we have
been setting In thousands of cherry buds
in ths young sprouts of tres whers we did
not get a good stand of Waterhousa scions
last Spring. I have been trying to give
some demonstrations to growers so that they
can do much of their own budding, thus fa
cilitating the work. Cherry buds are rather
harder to make stick than most fruit, but
by putting In a greet many ws expect to
get a good stand of buds.
We are satisfied that this country can
grow good apricots. The commercial com
panies now here can care for several times
the amount that they are now getting and
it Is simply a question of a bigger acreags
and a better prod uct-
Apricots should be carefully thinned early
In the season, which will avoid eo much
of the undersized fruit now hunting for a
market, and materially increase the weight
of th remainder.
When it Is remembered that apricots will
bear a fair crop at four years of age, that
they are low headed, comparatively easy to
pick and handle, that diseases are few and
that the apricots can only be grown In a
few favored sections with success. It Is rea
sonable to expect, a great Increase In apricot
acreage tor this section. A. R, Chase.
Malheur I was asked by two farmers for
help In establishing an Individual pumping
plant to Irrigate about 200 acres. I took
them over Into Idaho to examine several
pumps In operation that a local Idaho man
has Invented. We found that this type of
pump was more efficient than most pumps
and they will now go ahead and develop
their land.
The last two days of the week I spent
looking over the ground where the rabbit
campaign was csrried on last Winter. I
find that In ths Willow Creek country, and
other places where the rabbits were fought
around the hay stacks, that there are few
rabbits, " but between Ontario snd Vale,
where the people would not co-operate to
the best advantage, the rabbits are so
numerous that they are doing much damage
to the crops, having taken several acres
of alfalfa and more of grain.
Nineteen ranchers were visited last week.
Last week I visited a section where a
small group of dry farmers are trying three
of my demonstrations. One of these was
planting clean seed potatoes. This man who
planted the clean sed will get about 50
bushels per acre, while several of his neigh
bors crops will not be worth harvesting'.
I also secured some flax for two parties to
plant In this neighborhood ; one planting is
too thick and the other Is on three piots;
new ground, ground last year In peas, and
a third plot that was In com last year.
Thst on ths pea ground Is a good crop,
that on the corn land fair, while that on
tne new ground is not good.
One of the troubles that I find with
demonstrators 1s thst they axe usually
handling a small plot and consequently fall
to follow directions. It Is much bettor to
get a big lot ot something planted that
you can watch carefully. W. W. Howard.

Britain Said to Be in Mar

NEW TORK, Aug-. 13. Ths end of a
moderately aotiTs and Irregular week found
ths financial district mors than srsr In
doubt regarding th outcome of, th contro
versy between tns railroad managers snd
their 400. OOO of organised emplojes. Fall- ,
urs of ths mediation conference ot which
Wall street seemed so hopeful, was fol
lowed by some heaviness In Important rails,
but the list In general held firm as a final
break was not reported.
Another unfavorabla condition was fur
nished by ths Government crop report, which
bore out some of the mors peseimlstlo esti
mates of damage to corn and wheat tn ths
VWst and Northwest. In spits ot these dis
closures, little impression was made upon
prices of stocks most likely to be affected
by reduced crops.
El where ths market presented unusual
features and cross-currents. The nominal
decrease in tonnage for July shown by the
Unites. States Steel Corporation indicated
no cessation In that Important industry and
the quarterly and monthly statements of
Independent manufacturers of fabricated
steel and iron were of- a most hopeful tenor.
Coppers recovered from their long period
of comparative Inactivity on signs of a
renewal of last year's enormous Inquiry
from abroad. It Is understood that Great
Britain Is In ths market for supplies In ths
metal running into the millions of pounds.
