The lower the Oregon market goes the lower will be the depression In California prices.' There n.vr w a time In the history of the California potato trade when auch heavy supplies -were being offered at Btockton as at this time. . Oregon potatoes show but little movement for the present season be cause of the enormous eupplisa In Cali fornia and Colorado. It la stated that but one section the Clackamas die trlct haa ahlpped even a fair fraction of Ita production of the past season. Clackamaa potatoea are quit well cleaned up for toe better grade. Moat of the stocks grown there are of the early varieties and therefore find a ready demand at the start of the aon at good prices for shipment to Alaska. The crop of the Willamette valley haa scarcely been touched this season. On the west side practically no shipments have been made to the outside, and on the east side but a small traction of the - production has been sold. It- Is stated that In the Washougal. Washington. .district there are fully 100 cars of po tatoes remaining unsold at this lime. .In Multnomeh county not even one ' fourth of the season's yield has passoa out of the hands of the grower, and it 'looks at this tlmi as If only a few more cars will be sold during the remainder -Of the season. Eastern Outlet Only ope. a. tntvt In The Journal about a month ago, the only hopo for moving the bulk of the Oregon crop la for the railroads to glvo t'.ie state a low rate .for freight to the middle west and the southwest, -i a rate of 60o could be obtained (and growers here would be willing to let go at still lower figure) It la believed that large shlpmenta can be.. rued This. Is the opinion, of the dearer. Otherwise thev say there wttl ;be no demand to speak of the rest of the season. Onion Market Is Lower. A drop of 10c per hundred pounds is Shown In the local onion market be cause of the lower figures being quoted In the southern values. In this city dealers are offering producers from $2 40 to $2 60 per hundred pounds, but even at the lower range none of the dealers seem In a hurry to purchase supplies. A car of oranges was smong the morning's rail arrivals from the south. Csbbage market is firmer, with some dealers asking an advanced value. Brief Botes of the Trade. Salmon supplies are very scant. Prices unchanged. Run of smelt somewhat better. Egg market Is Just about steady, with prices ruling the same as on Saturday.

Wheat ranchers and stock growers In the John Day and Rock Creek districts report that both crops and flocks passed through the recent term of cold weather In good shape. Practically no damage to the wheat is reported. The largest percentage of the seeding was done just before the cold spell and the ground was In such condition in the- fields of grow ing fall wheat that the frees did very little, if any, damage. Flockmasters were kept busy at the feeding racks for about 10 days. Grass on th range was plentiful, but the freezing nights left the range In such shape that stock would not grass until toward noon, which caused the sheep men in particular to keen their flocks under .full feed. There la such an abundance of foel In this section, however, that the alfalfa stacks are not disappearing fast enough to cause any serious alarm. Weather conditions at present are such aa to promise the safe gathering of a large crop of lambs and a very large wheat crop. Fruit men report that the cold spell was made to order for their business, for had the warm weather continued It would ' have started th buds, leaving the orchards at th mercy of the March and April frosts.

"I wouldn't contract a alnela bala of the coming year's hop crop because I would be eshamed to offer th grower as low a figure as I think th market win reacn. Thla Is the onlnlnn of Paul R. a, Horst, the biggest of the big bulla In the hop market and on whose account the rlc advanced quite materially In 107. thus addlns- considerable wsalth to the coffers of the growers who took advantage of the boosting process and sold wtille they had a chance. Paul R. a. worst la a bull pure ana simple. He says he was born to bull hops. This seems to make hla predic tions for the coming crop all the. more remarkable, ror ir mere ia anytniax Mr. Horat likes to do It la to boost and to boost la to belong to th Paul Horat eluh. "Too many balea of bona are being raised," says tnia veteran or me nop market. "I think that the growers should cut down fully half their acre age. 1 believe tney snouia not cultivate any or their hope thla year Because 11 they apend 2' cents In cultivation they will add another 6 cent to It for pick ing later In the hope of getting their 1 centa back, to me it looaa nae a los ing game for the coming crop the only hope being that the crop In England will prove an entire ranure, ana mis is hardly a possibility. Consignment Hart Trade. 'The situation la even worse than most people believe possible. Ws have been offering ltOCs to English brewers st 1H cents a pound but you cannot give them away because 1107s are al most as cheap. As long aa growers here wtlP consign their hops to England they cannot expect the English brewer to pay them a big price for everyone wanta to buy aa cheaply aa poastble. Paul Horst la the operator who paid as high as 10 rents a pound for hops In 1908 these being the same hops he is now offering frantically to the brewing trade at 1H centa. It is stated that Mr. Horst and his associates have fully 10,000 bales of these old hops for sale. According to Information, about half of theae hops are owned by English brew ers who at present nave no uae for them and they will not pass into consumption for fully another year. Thla Is what causes the noted bull leader and the maker of high top prices to look gloomy. All Contracting' Stops. There Is- not a sufficient amount of excitement In the hop market to keep Paul Weidner Interested, for the grower dealer will soon leave for a trip to see a real bull fight In Mexico. "While I waa at Detroit. Micnigan, 1 telegraphed my aon Oscar, of O. M. Weidner A Co.. to purchase 1,000 bales of the coming crop's contracts. Several days later I rushed another measajre through telling him to stop contracting as the prohibition movement had gained auch proportions that I hardly knew where I stood. As far as 1907 hops are concerned there is nothing doing, as brewers already have more nops man h.v nnrl. Thev are constantly being offered hops at any old figures by those wno securea cunnuiui nciw. Mr. Weidner Is the owner of about inn iii nf hors at North Yamhill and will probably visit there for several days before venturing Into Mexico. "tk.m ara no bulls In hops now." says Mr. Weidner, "so I am going to Mexico to see a real one. WHEAT TUMBLES IN ALL WORLD'S MARKETS Heavy Shipments Cause a Decline Abroad Which Affects Chicago.
