Reason Is Plain "Why Some
Shippers Get More Than
Others for Fruits.

f tacked stock of exactly the aame quaj
ty at 1. Thin Is a very big state
ment to make, but It la truthfully mown
In the fruit marketa everywhere and
every day. ,,
Fancy packing la practically the prin
cipal reason why the applea of the
Hood River and Rogue River district
bring such fancy values in the markets
of the east and Kurope In competition
In;
with the fruliB of every known applo
ecllon. That's the reason why tno
pears of the Rogue River valley bring
each prices In New York wnen the or
dinary run of pack and stock can be
purchased for almost one tenth the
price. There's 11 reason, too, why
strawberries of Hood Hlver will find
favor with the housewife even at a
much hither price than the ordinary
pack will bring. Heason. too. Is plain
why some loganberry shippers get more
money than others and why one canta
loupe grower of Hood River la able to
market his stock at a much higher prloe
than his neighbors or anyone else.
The hitler refers to E. N. Benson of
Hood ftlxur. In Portland Mr. Benson
has already become famous aa the ship
per of Hid hest-packed cantaloupes that
ever reached the Portland market. That
Is saying considerable, too. wnen the
cantaloupe packers of California hnvo
had experts for years to pack their
fruits. Such style In cantaloupe park
ing has never before been equaled, and
thus far Mr. Benson's packers have-
been exceedingly careful In the quality
of the fruit they shin.
George Cooper of The Dalles has been
known as a pneker of good fruits ior
yenrs. His reputation Is growing, he
cause he Is In so many lines. The
Cooper peaches bring more money In
Portland than any other ptarh, .lust be
cause Mr. Cooper sees to It that the
stock he grades as No. 1 Is surely of
that quality, and that s the reason, too,
why any dealer would be glad to handlo
his shipments.
BUTTER POIXO STUNTS.
Record Price for This Reason of Year
Reached Without Much Effort.
The creamery butter market Is draw
ing very close to the dollar mark, and
now It Is generally believed by the trade
that best product will sell this season
In the wholesale market at that figure.
This week there was a gxieral mov
ing up In values to 37 c a pound iiy
city creameries. Some were fearful
that this price could not be maintained
but their fears were groundless, for
thus fnr there has been no difficulty
In selling all the butter made at the
record figures for this time of year.
Eirirs wero booHted about 1V0 a doien
the post week owing to the scarcity of
Jocnl fresh stock and the higher price
of storage stock In the east. bom
withdrawals of local storage stock were
reported during the week because of
the scarcity of fresh ranch eggs, but
this did riot hamper the price
Cheese values moved to lc a pound
higher during the past week on account of
the scarcity of supplies and t lie greater
demand from nil centers. Eastern cheese
Is now In the local market, but Is find
ing a good sale at high figures. '
ChlckoDs acted better In the local
market during the week and In some
Quarters prices made an advance.

Several Reasons Cause Advanced
Figures Export Flour to Rise.
The Portland wheat market shows a
higher price as n result of the larger
demand from millers and exporters ami
the hiirhor values now ruling through
out the world. The higher price Is also
due to somo extent to the "shortage In
old wheat supplies, few millers having
any old stock at all.
folding bv growers Is partly respon
sible for pome of the advanced prices,
millers being more anxious to buy than
ever. Orders for export flour have come
much faster than expected, even at tlyj
high price now ruling, nnd this price
will be advanced unless the wheat mar
ket shows declining tendency.
Hay market Is firm on account of the
mall crop In the valley. Small sup-
piles were noted during the week.
oats anrl barley are moving more free-
he inner especially show ner a heav-
ieivement to tidewater. Prices are
about as prcviouslviuoted In both lines
SALMON SEASON CLOSES.
Run Not So Small as Interests Had
Mude General Public Believe.
The salmon season closes In the Co
lumbia river at noon, today. For a trifle
more thin two weeks fishermen will
not be allowed by law to catch salmon
In thti wtate, the new season opening
the fore part of September.
As a whole tho closing salmon sea
son hns not been nearly so disastrous
to tho Industry as most interests have
been led to believe from the many re
ports coming faom the lower river.
In nil the pack of canned salmon will
this year reach ejose to 75 per cent of
a year ago and the pack of storage fish
will be somewhat greater than usual.
While everyone cried at the start of the
season that thore were no big fish com
ing, the pack of big fish Is one of the
pre.HiPHi in imp Miriury 01 me river. In
fact most or the Ilsh caught were 25
pounds or more.

there was an increase in arrivals. De
spite this, all lines held the prices of

stock trade has been famished for so
inn a nerlod that one week or nnersi

Tha faar nf larva shlnmentS OI hogs
from the east has caused local holders
in somewhat loosen ud on their stock.
and this Is the cause of the larger run
of hogs during the past six days. As
soon aa the eastern hogs begin to come
th trade exrects a decline in values.
and the local holders now want to take
advantage of the situation by getting
their stock to market before the outside
stuff comes In.
A year ago the' past week tnere was a

values did not change.
Cattle Demand la Prima.
For cattle there was a very liberal
demand during the past week. Receipts

A matter of grencrni interest to nreea

Albany as a Center.
(Special Diapatch to The Journal.)
Albany. Or., Aug. 24 The valley is
becoming a great snipping center or
fine stock and tha country hereabouts
Is being scoured for high grade stock to
be shipped to outside points. At tho
present time there is a shipment of pure
hinnded Shorthorn and Hereford bulls
nwaltlns- transportation to San Fran
cisco and from there will be shipped to
Honolulu. Tnis siock is oeing pur
chased and prepared for shipment by
F W. Carter, agent ior i-nrxer croi., or
Honolulu, who own a large stock farm
in the Hawaiian Islands. Through the
ngeney of Mr. Lafferty of Plainview-ar-rangements
are being perfected for the
purchase of all the available Jersey
cows in Linn county and these will
soon follow the present shipment
Horses are also wanted and with this
demand th stockman and breeder of
first-class stock finds no occasion to
complain of the market.
pride but from personal motives. Prae
tlcally everyone of these howlers has
sold short to eastern brewers and deal
ers a considerable amount of Oregon
hops for delivery the coming crop.
If the hop crop is shorter than they
expected or the quality is not what they
contracted for these sellers will be
caught In the trap which they thought
so cleverly set for the unsuspecting
growers. If they sold choice hops tlwy
must deliver that grade or else pay the
penalty, for the brewer la a business
man and will demand the goods he pur-
rhnsnil
If the hops are Ice-ridden as they
are in many sections, despite the utter
ances of the short sellers they cannot
deliver them on their contracts. If they
are mouldy they will likewise be barred
from delivery. Therefore, the only Im
pression the short seller wants to go
abroad la that the hops are first-class-even
though they are not and that tha
crop was never better.
From the standpoint of the grower it I
would be better by far were the entire
crop of Oregon to b ruined, so that It
would not be marketable this season.
This would result In a world's shortage
of hops and the next year's crop would
enter the market at a good and profit
able price. If Oregon produces and
bales a big crop this season It will
mean almost the total extinction of the
Industry here. With a smaller crop thuu
expected throughout the world It would
add that much to future values.
How Xola Wets Stands.
Kola Nels, an Albany brewer, and said
to be a large short seller of Oregon hops
for this year's delivery at very low fig
ures. Is out with a statement that th
yards around Gcrvals were In fine
shape, despite the Investigation mado
for The Journal by a reliable and prom
inent grower of that section. Mr. Nels
states that on account of the damage
reports sent broadcast from this state
last season Oregon hops sold sometimes
at to a pound under the California product
The truth of the matter is that Or-
gon hops have never sold at as low a
figure as the California product, the
difference In price, If any, being In fa
vor of the local product. The fact that
Oregon hops have sold so much lower In
the east than tho eastern product Is dui
entirely to the work of the brewers and
short sellers of the Pacific Coast, who
held good-priced contracts and wanted
to obtain their supplies that mifh
cheaper. In order to do this they sent
out dally reports to the eastern hop
papers, telling or the immense crop to
be produced In Oregon. 1 his had the
desired result tho keeping out of the
market of the eastern buyers who
thought they could obtain hops at a
cheaper figure if they waited.
The crv that the Orecon hona'
chances of sale are hurt In the east if
rue reports of vermin and honeydew
are sent out, Is not shared by the le
gitimate trade. No brewer or othjr
hop buver anywhere in the world buys
hops without seeing what he Is getting;
almost all of them demanding samples
of the proposed delivery before negotla-
lons regarding price are even started,
f the samples are what he wants and
the price satisfactory, the sale is made.

NEVADA MINING STOCKS.
MORE ROOM NEEDED FOR OUR-
EXPANDING JOBBING TRADE
By Hyman H. Cohen.
Front street needs more room for
Its fast expanding commission trade.
Every day shows the necessity of ad
ditional room for the city's Jobbing
trade, the necessity being more pro
nounced as tha days progress.
A number or new nrms nave made
tholr appearance In the Portland market
during the past few months and every
one of them Is expanding in business.
The stores along Front street have
been unlit for the housing of the com
mission trade for some years and the
time is not far dlstajit when the trade
will be so .great that the lack of room
will work a great hardship on the mer
chants and the trade.
Already there is a general lack of
room in Front street districts for the
commission and jobbing trade. Other
shops and stores have been crowded
out of the district because of the in
creasing call from the iobbers.
Better and more suitable houses are
badly needed and the needs are now be
coming very pressing and it is the
matter of but a few years at the most
that newer Quarters will be souo-ht
by the commission trade because the
present ones are Inadequate to handle
the growing business.
On every side the sales are increasing
and the Jobbing territory is being in
creased. Farther south and farther
north the trade is going and In the
meantime there is a growing business
farther east
