On September X new beet sugar will be offering In the local market. An nouncement has already been una" by refiners that the differential between beet and can sugar would bo .i0f?Z hundred, pounds that U. befet sugar will sell that much under frultj and berry Instead of under granulated In former seasons fruit, berry and ordi nary dry granulated sold - at- the same figure, but recently, owing to the , heavier supplies of dry granulated than either of the other two. refiners cut the former 10c; thus putting Its value that amount below normal. t eet Bug-ax Crop la Heavy., ': While the Increase f best acreage is not material this season, special advice, received by The Journal Indicate that the crop of the 'northwest is about 10 per cent greater than a year ago. Every year therels en increase in the output of bt sugar and gradually the vegetable product is finding favor with ;te Jrad.;j.Jst why there is such a big differential be tween beet and cane sugar , n ot even the refiners themselves are able to "ay for scarcely one person In a million would know the difference even upon the most careful examination. therefore aniusing to hear some sellers call this sugar beet and the thercane when they could not tell the difference themselves If no name appeared on the sacks. Even then It Is a question i- v. k wa. TM-ndjir are not suD- tltuted for one , another whenever V . necessity arises. , ' t : potato Market Stagnant. Market for' potatoes Is stagnant lo ' cally. There is no movement what ever out of Front street. Prices as ouoted are, therefore, nominal. While the trade is generally asking; $1 per sack, many sales are reported around 0o and even a slightly lower figure is wrobable.

Trie oniy ouieine hwvmhto ported was on a small government or ; der and this was quickly filled. Offering Eggs a Decline. Untruthful statements continue to be - made in a morning paper regarding the ' egg market, according ; .to those . who " do the selling; and their assertions are backed up by the bills of sale. Eg as are being freely offered along Front . street at 27i7HO, and one dealer was offering down to S6V40 In 10 case lots. The weakness ands: lower price la due to the absence of outside demand. Kast' Candle Tgt With Oar. ' ' Front street merchants hav begun to realise that In order to save the reputation of local eggs the - supplies ,muat be- candled out more thoroughly res Is done In other markets. Lack . of careful candling has In tfmes past , given Oregon eggs a reputation In oth er markets -that was not to be envied i and therefor Front street will hereaf " ter use- more . care. - This is done in ' every other market of cohseauence in the country and should have been done here years ago. While there Is always more or less complaint from shippers a to loss In candling, operations must be carried through in the proper way or else the trade will purchase eastern supplies, which are always carefully candied, and selected. Local eggs are lust as wood as. any -In the country, but wha they have lacked heretofore - ha been the segregation of the poor stock which have generally been kep . for along period by country shippers from the better and fresher quality. . .
