While the movement of potatoea from
thla aute It not very heavy aa yet.
Jnqulrlea from the aoulh are Increasing
: and during the paat ti houre a number
of car have been eold for southern
California and San Francisco account.
Thera la a much better tone In the Ca.ll
' fornla potato market and, while the
object of the California people who are
now boosting the price here ta aelflsh.
their boosting will be . productive of
rood after all. Some time ago The
Journal atated that from all appear-
ancea Oregon would not have scarcely
'enough potatoea to fill Ita own requlre
ments, not alone shipping Immenae sup
; pllea to the outalde, arid condltlone that
now preaent themaelvea aeem to fully
confirm thla view, made fully a month
. ago.
Want Select Stock In South.
1 Ths grower of aelect potatoea thla
vear good, amooth and .werage alaed
stock who aella his production now, ta
quite foolish according to thoae'on the
Inalde. While California river diatrlcta
atill have plenty of potatoea to supply
that section for some monthe yet the
fine la stiffening there. Fancy pota
oea real select stock, such aa Oregon
' usually produces are very scarce In Cali
fornia even at thla time, although there
ia plenty of ordinary, atock to go
. around.
Free Offering Beam at as Sad.
While Oregon potato men have been
mot freely offering potatoea here dur
' In the past few days, it la now be
lieved that the movement will be re
trlcted. Although this holding for
higher prices will allow the California
; people to get rid of their supplies while
we are noiaing, me enter vuyr rrc
secretly state that there la little doubt
that better prices will rule on our
v rtntA toAN aftpr awhile.
The Journal lr. In receipt of the fol
lowing communication from w. .
Broaddua (Sam) who la at preaent In
Texaa:
By Sam Broaddua,
Fort Worth. Texas. Oct. 22. Com
lerclal Editor. Oregon Journal Our
people In Idaho wired ua tTils morning
that over one third of the potatoea
there were frozen In the ground. Thla
Is serious and meana a loss of at least
600 ears to the markets of the west.
- You can't make it too strong advice
to your people to hold their potatoes
: and let California sell they must sell
anyway for their potatoes will not keep
later than March without an enormous
shrinkage. Oregon will have the mar
. keta of California and Arizona besides
her local market to supply next spring
and the state has not a sack of pota
toes to sell to. the south now. This Is
, the one chance in five for the Oregon
: farmer to make money let him hold,
Dealers can't Import from Minnesota
or Wisconsin next spring they haven't
the potatoes to sell.
Owing to vthe very liberal arrivals of
cntcxens in me local marxec auring ine
past 24 hours, there was a loss or He
in tne price as nas Deen recently quoted
by The Journal. While some dealers
were asking a fractional advance over
these previous figures, the general trade
soia at tnem. i nose wno soia nigner,
cut their values on a par with those
printed In this report today. It Is be
lleved, however, that a still lower
range will rule unless arrivals ease off
somewhat.
Eggs are showing a disposition to
weaken slightly owing to the easier
tone elsewhere and the slight increase
In local arrivals.
Creamery butter Is holding steady at
the decline or yesterday.
Cheese tnarket is likely to go hleher,
from cresent indications. Most of the
plants at Tillamook are closing owing
to tne snort supply 01 cream.
Hops Are Being Absorbed.
while there is no excitement in the
trade, quite a number of sales of hops

I ' . 'r'lo""i Bryan will speak at ' the and -that the Republicans who era
with vtrv mood attendance of araln
men today, the bidding on the Portlan.l
board of trade durlnc todny'a aesslon
was dulte lively and an lnaicaimns now
point to a much stronger organisation
man ever.
Durlnc the session, wnue tne tone
of wheal was somewhat firmer, a
slightly lower price was bid than for
merly. During the last few daya the
trade has been so amall locally as well
aa at other coast centers that outside
markets got a fraction below even
though some Improvement was shown
abroad later.
For November option today the bids
were lower, a like sum being taken
off the bid for the December. Asked
prices are down lie a bushel In both
options.
The piling up of large supplies of
coarse grains In local wareliou.es is
having a weakening effect upon quota
t Ions. In the trading on the2board of trade
today the bids for November oata are
2 He per cental lower, although Decem
ber blda were unchanged. Instead of
weakening the holders, the market on
their side Is firmer than even with no
December offering under $1.67ft.
Barley ' futures were weaker on thfl
board today, bids for November being
down ic a cental and asked prices a
similar sum. For the December de
livery barley shows 2V4c loss In both
bid and ask values. Today 600 tons
Of December were offered at 2.&0.

Chicago. Oct. 2I. Wheat etarled
downward thla morning owing to the
reaction abroad. While the pressure to
sell waa not great, some of the longs
began to taae profits and or course buy
ers wire anxious to secure supplies aa
low as possible.
News from Argentina Is very badly
mlxwi hut all late cables tell of con
siderable damage by the recent frost.
Logan A- Bryan's agent In Argentina
rabldd that 6,000.000 acres or wheat had
b?n seriously damaged. A year ago
the Argentina wheat field comprised
14.222.000 acres, with a total yield of
zoi.6VZ.ouo puaneis.
Liverpool opened Hd to 4d lower
than yesterday, but closed at unchanged
figures. Paris closed with a loss of 6
to 10 centimes, while Berlin was Ti
hlsher.
A cable from Servls says that it is
quite likely that an order prohibiting
the exportation of corn and oats will be
Issued.
A special Russian cable says: "In
the southwest weather conditions have
been favorable for the growing crop.
Stocks of wheat at the ports are still
Increasing, owing to the poor deliveries.
In the southwest the recent storms
have checked the loading of wheat."
