:: Potato Crop X mu Month tat.
' According to Information gathered by
dealers and from growers. It can now be
safely stated , that ' the Oregon potato
crep this season will, be a full month
late in appearing upon the market This
year It is unlikely that Oregon new po
tatoes 'will appear in quantities much
before the last of July, while In nor
mal seasons our stocks are ready for the
sacks about the latter part of June;
i The- Information denotes that the total
production of potatoes In Oregon will be
greater than usual. The heaviest In
crease will be in eastern Oregon, but In
the Willamette valley, the acreage will
show up quite a bit heavier than a year
ago, wnen me crop was one or me heav
iest in the history of the state.. The
astern -Oregon increase will be caused
by the agitation against summer fallow,
and for this reason a number of the big
wheat tract owners will experiment this
season wun potatoes.
. potatoes Are Orowlng Slowly.
Because of a continuance of the cool
and rainy weather, the crop is growing
muoh slower than .usual in the Willam
ette valley. The plants are well up and
show very ' good color, but what they
need a$ this time to cause them to grow
faster is some sunshine. Indications
now point to a heavier production per
aore. and very fine quality, as plants
have Buffered practically no damage this
season xrpm Tresis or vermin.
'Only Steadied Can Remain Here.
It Is now estimated that but a frac
tion more than 100 car of potatoes re
main In the Willamette valley in the
hands of growers and dealers. This
does not include the oars about to roll
or those which the buyers are preparing
to .load. Supplies in eastern Oregon are
much greater than here, because of the
greater amount grown. - shipments irom
there to the outside have not been on
such, an extensive seal as in western
Oregon, because of the heretofore un
known euallty e potatoes from that
rieotion. Just at present, however, there
s an' Increase in shipments from both
eastern and western Oregon, and there
is little doubt that most of the potatoes
will be cleaned up.before the new crop
is ready, providing producers do not hold
vu ior wo neavy an advance,
Market Zs In rtne Shape.
For potatoes the market Is now In
better shape, than at tnr time during
u aiiiiiiiBs- aai t m-m ins n vwss mrm nuns wnu
Ing to pay 61 and 70 cents per 100
pounds, because they have orders to pur
ohase at these figures. California is
taking a large portion of the supplies at
m is time, out some very liberal snrp
ments are stlU being made to.. Arizona
from western Oregon, Eastern Oregon
continues to ship In large lots to the
Puget sound country and to the middle
west and far south, because of the ad
vantages in. jrelght rate, - ,
Strawberries Are Terr Scares.
. There Is a great scarcity of strawber
ries In the local market today. Supplies.

Rowell. Day & JCo. of Loom in. Callfor.
nla, notified the Portland trade today as
follows: "No berries today on account
of rain." Because of the scarcity of
Dcmes, me California fruit sold at an
advance or 10 cents a crate today. Ore.
gon berries are in very scant supply.
wun stock In .better shaDe than that
from California, Sales of local fruit are
neing mane arouna ijf.zv and 13.60 a

. Pront Street Briefs.
The car of cabbage unloaded yester
day afternoon along the street has most
ly disappeared, so great was the demand,
at I cents a pound.
Two cars of bananas were among the
arrivals from Central America todays
green, but in good shape. A car of or
anges came up rrom the soutn.
In the arooerv line there was a fur.
ther advance of 10 cents in the price of
beans.
String, beans continue In heavy sup-
jiij, wun prices snowing a wine range.
Demand for hops from Europe is much
easier.
Cheese market is lower, with market
quite lively.
Creamery butter values are maintained
although supplies are heavier. Outside
business is still taking the surplus.
Pront street sells at the following
prices. Those paid shippers are less

ries promises to be the heaviest In
years in fact Mr. Lansing says that
scarcely anything that could happen at
this time would affect the else of the

states.
There will be onlv a medium crop of
strawberries near Salem, according to
C. H. Chapman, who arrived in Portland
today in company with Mr. Lansing, en
route to see the big fleet on tne sound.
"The frosts." he states, "came at a
time when it pulled down the production
to a considerable extent In fact, the
frost gave the fruit what we in the
ountrv call the "black eye. The raaD-
