Two Carloads of New Catch
Columbia . ftiver Chinooks
Sold at the Higher figure
Represents Higher Cost.
It has been practically decided by sal
mon packers that no regular opening
values will be named by them this year.
Thin fully confirms the forecasts made
. by this paper recently..,..-
The catch of ealmon, while greater by
for. than a year ago, Is nevertheless
, smaller than the first days of the sea
son gave promise. .
" Only , the gillnetters are ' showing , a
gooa nam ana tnese interests are taming
out more fish than they have -for this
period In. many years. This, however,
'. represents only a small per cent of the
total catch usually shown -along the
Columbia for the traps and wheels usu-
v ally take the larger per cent of the, fish.
; Vaokers are Conservative.
A more conservative : set of business
Interests could scarcely be found than
the packers of salmon along the Colum
bia river. The failure of these -inter
- ests to open the price tot canned goods
Is one of the results. " Tor Several years
packers of inferior fish have obtained
.higher values for their salmon than J
nave tne canners or the Koyat Chinook
of the Columbia -v .
- Bo far as-known only two cars of new
"catch salmon have been sold this season,
these being at an advance of 10c per
cosen over tne rigures or a year ago.
This advance represents merely the ad
vanced cost Of the fish to the canners.
At the start of the season the fishermen
raised their prices-of a year ago by a
naii cent per pouna.
..Local Cabbage 'Is Coming.
' Front street trade - is saying a glad

With the advance of le a pound in the
price of butter today by all local sellers,
the price at Portland reaches lc above
the value of a year ago in box lots and
zc pouna aoove tna.t value in less than
box lots.- - -
Extreme scarcltv of bntter supplies is
shown at all Pacific coast centers. For
awhile the shortage was felt only in the
Pacific northwest because of the numer
ous withdrawals for Alaska but recently
there has been a spirited rise in the Cal
ifornia markets. t ;
. When the price quoted at Baa Fran
cisco by the butter board Is 28csa pound,
this is not really the selling value, for
if buyers want the best quality they
are forced to pay from 1 Ho to to a
pound more - than the butter board
quotes. Therefore California prices are
really higher than at Portland.

weekly crop summary: "Most reports
about the winter wheat crop are favor

pects through all the wheat 'growing
states, but there are thin stands and
such irregular growth, Hessian fly is
still in Illinois and south Indiana and
parts of Missouri, "and Impairment of
condition through that section is noted.
In Illinois wheat is renorted to be fall

ports heavy rain and hail storm, and
apprehensions of material damage there
for what is in the blooming period."
The bears had their fighting clothes

over the corn states this morning, but
the forecast of showers and rising tem
peratures is all that corn raisers could
expect Cash prices were to o low
er. Even at the decline, shipping sales
were unimportant.
There was only moderate action in
oats prices for the day. Shipping busi
ness was limited to yo.uuu DusnaiB. vra.ia
trade is influenced by the action In corn
and by the weather for the new crop. .
There . is - a good, iioerai supply 01
hogs coming forward to packing points
and the character of the receipts here
showing high average weight Indicates
that feeling has been continued. Just as
long as it was profitable. There are
those who think that the present run
will be at the expense of the usual June
supply, but that Is borrowing trouble.

Portland Union Stockvards. Rtockdale.
May , 21. A year ago-today these re
marks were made by a prominent live
stock sellers through The Journal:
"There Is not the slightest dancer to
cattle market prices from the shipment
or gooo -quality. My advice is ror cattle
men to hold back their cattle until they
ara.good and fat, because It will pay
them to ao so. it s tne Door stun tnat
wrecks the market every year at this
period." ',.-;
'The above Is printed simply because
It gives the cattle situation of- today,
the same as it did a year ago. While
there Is quite a good demand for fancy
cattle as high as $6 for ateers, the mar-
net is dun ana ureieps' at tower prices
ror orr graae quality.
Kina Iroads Prom California.
Nine loads of cattle arrived In from
California during the past 24 hours and
some of the shipment was not of very
good Quality. . . - -
In regard to the cattle situation it
should be stated here In Justice to both
commission handler and shirtDer that an
error Was made in the printing of a
sale of 19 head ot steers In Thursday's
paper. The-sale read that the animals
averaged 1266 pounds and sold at $6.76.
when it should have read 965 pounds at
$4.25. The error was made during a
telephone conversation and Is hereby
corrected.
Hogs and sheen remain about as Pre
viously quoted, sales being made at
tormer values. . .:
Among the' Bhlppers. 1
Taylor & Cummlngs had a mixed load
of hogs and sheep from Halseyoh to
day's market
- J, W. Meacham shipped two loads 4f
sheep from Sprlngbrook.
B. B. Slllard sent forward nine loads
of steers from California. .
