MARKET CLOSES STEADY
TRADING AT YARDS LIGHT OS
LAST DAY OF WEEK.
Since announcing the opening ' prices.
the Oregon association is reported to have
cut the list one cent.
At the opening of the season the inde
pendent packers put out u. nutations at a
hlglici lcvelv but when it was learned that
the association would not follow the lead,
eastern buyers naturally neld off expect
lr.B a cheaper market. This r.nd the
dowDvarii trend of nearly all commodities
has lstt the prune market In a very in
active condition. The Calif-jrnUns were
successful In early disposing of their (.mall
stock of the three larr sizes, wherias
the Op-gon " holdings whic!l mainly run
to these sixes, are yet to find a market.
Comir.citlng on the unsatisfactory prune
market in general and the causes of the
condition, a New Tork trade writer sMd,
before he- had word of the Oregon prices:
"The tendency of the California prune
n-srket all season from the time the inde
pendents first sought business, until the
present time, has been toward lower levels
and It is noteworthy also that the declines
have halted buying more than they have
increased it. While the association is not
seeking business on the larger sizes and is
not trying to force an Issue on the other
types either for that matter, the lndepen
dent packers are soliciting orders. There
Is very little buying being done here or
In other eastern Jobbing markets.
'The delay in naming Oregon prices by
the association la one reason for this at
titude, as It is surmised that the delay
will result in a :low basis, even on the
larger sixes. Should this be the case, the
California market will naturally be af
fected. Some factors are free to admit
their belief that - were all prune prices
to be made today, in the face of the de
velopments since values were announced,
that a lower market would result. Un
certainty as to the supplies of old pack
exists, while It Is not known whether
any export outlet will be afforded this
season. Take it all in all,, the prune
market is very murh unsettled."
WHEAT IS Y1BMKR AND H1GHKR
A 1 1 Itids on Local Board Advance Except
Northern Spring.
The wheat market was firmer yesterday
at all points. A moderate amount of busi
ness was reported from the country, but
farmers are by no means free sellers.
September bids were generally higher on
the local board, hard white being up 4
cents, soft white 2 cents, hard winter 1
cent and white club and red Walla 3 cents,
while northern spring declined 2 cents
from Friday's prices.
The coarse grain market was irregular.
White oats were unchanged, but grays
were $1 lower. Brewing barley and Oc
tober feed barley advanced $L and corn
declined $2. .
Crop conditions in the United Kingdom,
as cabled by Broomhall: "Weather fine
and harvesting being completed In the late
districts under' most favorable conditions.
Stocks of wheat and flour in the United
Kingdom are 6.000.000 bushels larger than
a year ago. Corn stocks 8,000.000 bushels
larger and oats 1. 300,000 bushels larger."

LOCAL. APPLES ARE MOVING WELL
tiravenstelns of Good Color Are Firm,
With Steady Demand.

larly Gravenstcins that show good color.
Kor these Jobbers are getting $3.253.75
a box.
In Washington an apple crop of 15,749,
OO0 bushels Is now expected, this being a
slight decrease from the August 1 esti

HOP CROP COIIWC DOWN LIGHTER
Estimate for State Has Been Reduced to
So, BOO Balem'
The first week of hop picking has shown
that the Oregon crop Is not going to be
as large as expected, and the dealers are
all reducing their estimates or the state's
yield. A month ago most of them looked
for a crop of 60.000 bales at least, but
now they think the state will do well to
produce oO.OOO bales. Some well posted
hop men place their estimate 5000 bales
below this figure.
As a consequence a firmer tone has de
veloped In the market. Offers are being
made of 55 cents and one bqyer claims to
have purchased at this price, but growers,
as a rule, are not willing to sell at such
a figure.
Several small lots of fuggles in the
Mount Angel and Silverton sections were
bought during the week at 60 to 62 cents.
tlBK BUTTER MOVES AT 61 CENTS
Buying Price of Eggs Is Raised Storage
Regularly Offersd.

ther sales of cube extras at 61. cents. No
early change la prints la expected. It was
reported that a car of fresh creamery
cubes was shipped to Sao Francisco, where
the market Is materially higher than here.
. The egg market was strong with a very
mall supply of ranch stock. A buying
quotation of 53 cents, case count, waa sent
to the country. Jobbers asked 60 cents
for candled ranch and up to 65 cents for
selects. Storage eggs continued to be of

ASTORIA. Or. Sept. 11. (Special.) In
a review of the canned salmon situation
on the Pacific coast, S. Elmore A Co., local
salmon brokers, say:
"In view of orlces announced by the
Alaska Packers 'association, season of 1020.
including exceedingly low prices for pink
and chump, and announcement by other
packers of $2.25 a dozen for medium red
tails, 59 cents a dozen )e.s than the Alaska
Packers association price for the same
grade, we are of the opinion 'that prac
tically all the canneries that have been
operated for many years, from Aberdeen
to the Umpqua river, wiil remain closed
during trie Tall season, and. aa near a we
can determine, not exceeding two or thre
canneries will be operated on the Columbia
river during the- (all season. Therefore.
through the clojHnj? of the coast canneries
and on the Columbia river, the average
output will be materially decreased as
compared with former years, probably to
the extent of lOO.0M to 2H.O00 rates.
"The maximum prices for all grades of
salmon are controlled by the British min
istry of food, which has recently sold its
entire holdings of pink halves, iKht dozen
each, and pink tails, four dozen each,
axgregatlng about 40O.0OO cases of the two
sizes, at prices far below the coat. f. o. u.
British Columbia or Puget sound during
1017 and 11)18, and also recently sold their
holdings of Alaskan red at prices mate
rially less than the present coast value,
plus freight and insurance, and we call
particular attention to prices on the other
side, in comparison with the present rate
of exchange, about 93.55.
"Since the British ministry unloaded its
holdings of Alaskan red, about 50.00O
cases, the market has advanced materially,
and we are of the opinion it will advance
tn the near future to a point enabling
distributors to import on Ihe basis of
$3.25. f. o- b. Pacific coast.
We understand that the noara or trsae
of l-iverpool And I-ondon are endeavoring
to secure the passage of an act tnrougn
oariiament remowne the control of salmon
from the British ministry of food, and if
so the market will assume normal condi
tions, and trading, we trust, will rt-sult.
inasmuch as stocks are at an exceedingly
low ebb in both London and Liverpool,
particularly of No. 1 grade sockeye, fancy
chinook. Siberian red. Alaskan red and the
No. 2" grade medium red.
Packing of pink has ceased !n south
eastern Alaska and canneries closed, owing
to low price of chums named by the Alaska
Packers association I. e., Ji.io; ana. in
asmuch as this is the off year on Puget
sound, pink have not been produced ln that
ction.
"Following the trend of consumers'
views for the pa-vt three years, the pur
chase and distribution from British Co
lumbia of 300.0O0 cases of halves sockeye.
eight dozen each, for shipment to eaternt
Canada Or eat Britain and Australia:
75.000 cases or TsocKeye naive, proauceo
on Puget sound, and the entire product
of the No. 1 or fancy grade of the Colum
bia river in halves and Hats, at lor
flats and $2.50 for halves, and from $2.75
to 3 a dozen for Puget sound sockeye
halves, and $19 to $21 a case of eight
dozen for British Cplumbia sockeye halves,
would indicate that the consumer has neg
lected all other grades, but we are of the
opinion that omMng to posyibie change In
general conditions the consumer, who for
merly purchased, for instance, the medium
grade, will, through force ot circumstances,
resume the consumption of this and
grades lower than sockeye and fancy Co
lumbia river chinook."
