Canned milk prices are today touch
ing the highest marx ever reached since
the industry was established here.
Manufacturers are quoting an advance
for all brands.. The Pacific Coast Con
densed Milk company has advanced
Carnation 6c a dozen to $4 O-x The Bor
den company has placed. Pioneer 15c a
dozen higher, making the quotation per
case $4.y). This is the highest point
reached. ' , " , .
Scarcity of milk and cream, the great
competition among butter, cheese and
canned milk people being unusually se
vere at this time and neither 'interest
securing half the milk needed for its
present business is the cause.
The advance to $10 at this time
seems to indicate 'Still further advances
later in the Season. Should this hap
pen, it will either ; take canned milk
out of the 10c selling class or elss the
size of the package will be reduced.
The latter course is likely but manu
facturers " say that the changing of
labels and cans from one 'size to another
will involve so much expense that it
would not take much to send the retail
price to 16c a' can.
Butter market is very firm for the
same reason and squares are generally
sellingat 34c. a pound.

Selected Stock Sells as High as

; Transactions at 27c; Chick
1 en Market Is Steady. ,
Egg market values show an advance
of t-a a dozen today for best.
Receipt's of eggs continue quita lib
eral but Jitrlctly selected stock is scarce
and therefore a small ' premium over
former prices is being paid. Best eggs
are today quoted firm as high as 270
a dozen with some few sales down to
27c.
Eastern eggs show much mixed qual
ity. . Some of the earlier arrivals, now
being held in storage, were-of most ex
cellent showing. Later shipments,
which cabis through in the hot
weather, are not so good and some of
these are j being . sold at sacrificed
values. . , ,
Prospeeta are that poultry arrivals
will move better during the present
week. 4The lowering of values will
cause a healthier demand from retail
Interest.- Shipments are not expected
to be quite as liberal as a week ago.
- Most supplies of chickens were
cleaned up Saturday at , prevailing
prices and therefore the week opens
with , a" fairly good feeling. This ap
plies principally to hens because
springs are rather plentiful. Geese are
still slow In moving. -

" A greater scarcity.- of cabbage Is
shown in the Portland market than ever
before. So say dealers.
Local cabbage is very hard to secure
at the moment The hot ' weather Is
drying up the heads, according to grow
ers.1' A continuation -of this condition
would ruin the crop within a short
time.
This would cause the, greatest scarc
ity of cabbage , ever shown along 1 the
coast.
'Owing to the -dry weather, cabbage
Is. very scarce," says. W. H. Dryer, of
Dryer, Bollam & Co. ."Supplies are so
scarce that U is hard to get the produ
uct at all. Only Saturday we were
forced to pay a grower 2c,a pound,
loose, for his cabbage, and were mighty
glad to get It because we had ordera
to fill at that price. While our orders
called for the cabbage ,at the same
price we filled them.
"It Is possible to secure cabbage from
California, but It is of poor quality.
Nevertheless, the present situation and
scarcity m,ay force importations from
the south. . .
"The situation is worse than I have
ever before seen In the Portland mar
ket at any time."
PIGS IN CLOVER
PROVED A SUCCESS
(Special Blapitch to Tbe Journal.)
Walla? Walla, Wash.. July 25.r-An eXr
perlment that has been, trt.id m cm ot
The orchards of the WalU Wal a valley
and has been found successful bids fair
to make a new side lino for orchardlsts.
It has been found in this valley, and re
ports from other localities - bear out
the fact, -that where clover is
planted In the orchard the sfg and t'lor
of the fruit is Improved.'
The experiment was mn.de In tn or
chard where the crou was thougnt to be
slightly under standard. Half the or
chard was set In clovrt. & fourth left fos.
clean cultivation, - and fourth was
mulched with barnyard manuM. The
clovered fruit did bes'., with pigs run
ning loose among th-j trees ond keer'ng
fat on the clover and windfalls. The
manured trees did much better than did
the cultivated land. ' - . . , ; v
Deducing from this exiwrtnient, sev
eral orchardlsts of tho vulle have ior
elded to sow their orchards to clover ahi
to raise 'a , few hogs a the tde.' i 1'he
cost will be no more, as tha clover will
keep the weeds down anl rendor cultiva
tion unnecessary. An the orirhujrdlsts
will realize a handsome side profit from
the pigs. .'.vVi v-- -
