Miss M. I. Rupert Gathers
. Ripe Fruit at Oak Grove-
Beats California by a Mile
" Acreage Increased.
PoruanA wnoiesaas warseie,
Eggs weaker.
Chickens firmer.
Dressed veal easier.
Light hogs-jflrmer.
Apparatus lower.
Lemons to advance.
Potatoes firm.
Car Mexican tomatoes.
Cheap apples weak.
t Oreeon strawberries are ripe. The
Initial picking was gathered yesterday
and the fruit was brought to Front
treat this morning. The fruit was
gathered by Miss M. I. Rupert at Oak
Grove, a suburb or Fortiana. i ne Der
ties were of extra fine quality and were
quite T.large. Miss Rupert reports that
quite a number of green berries were
encountered in the field, the season
being unusually early.
Special reports received by The Jour
tial Indicate that this year's output of
strawberries In Oregon will be the
heaviest on record. The acreage is
much heavier than ever before and
mors care has been taken in cultivation
this season. The acreage in the vlcln
ity of Portland shows the heaviest In
crease.
' Up the Willamette valley the Increase
this year is. much greater than ever
before. The operation of more can
. rsries has stimulated the Industry
round Brownsville snd that section is
expected to lead In quantity hereafter.
California strawberry season Is un
usually late this year. In fact, no
shipments have come In this direction
from there, while usually southern
California begins to ship ss early as
reoruary.
CABBAGE SUPPLY BETTER
Two Carloads Come From South In
Good Condition.
Two cars of cabbage came forward
from the south today and filled the
local trade. The market Is la good
; shape for supplies and offerings are
selling at 11.60,
" LEMONS TO ADVANCE
Rise of 25c in Sonth Forecasts an
Upward Movement Here.
- An advance of 25c a case in the price
of lemons in California forecasts an
advance In the local market during the
coming week. . Demand is greatly In
creased. CAR RHUBARB ARRIVES
' Big Shipment From California Finds
g:J;lr; : Liberal Call. '
A full ear of rhubarb wag reported
In from the south by local brokers.
Quality was good and sales were made
freely at $1.76 a box. The market Is
about as well supplied with rhubarb
at this time as during the flush of the
local season. This Is hurting the de
tnand for cheap quality apples but is
having no effect upon the better stuff.
CUCUMBER SUPPLY GOOD
Hothouse Stock From East Coming

,. .... Eastern hothouse cucumbers are In
t food supply In the Front street trade.

Advance of a Cent Paid for
Large Lots of 1911s; Cal
ifornia Tied Up.
A further advance of a cent a pound
Is being, offered for hop contracts by
local dealers. In the Willamette vaM
ley contracts for 1911s are ranging from
16 to 17c, the latter being offered for
large lots and the smaller figures for
nominal purchases.
Reports from the country state- that
there Is an unusually large number of
missing hills in the hop yards this
spring and that while growing condi
tions are good, the outlook is for a
slightly decreased output from a year
ago.
In Y910 the trade figured that 92,600
bales ..of-hops were-4iroducedln.QreKoni
but after the estimate was made a. num
ber of lots were found that had not been
previously counted. Therefore the pro
duction In the state reached close to
100.000 bales.
A special report received by local par
ties from various districts of Califor
nia stated that fully 60,000 bales of the
1911 crop in that state were already
tied up by contract. California pro
duces annually between 60,000 and 80,
000 'bales, there little trading can be
expected there the coming season.

regarding the standing of the wheat
trade at this time, all are agreed that
coarse grains ere unusually firm with
higher prices offering all 'along the
line. For No. 1 white oats the trade
is freely offering $28.50 and supplies
are hard to get at that figure. Talk
of a $29 market continues.
Barley is frrm at $26 a ton for No. 1
feed, while from $24 to $25 is being
offered for brewing at country points
for shipment east. Supplies of the
latter grade are limited and only occa
sional lots can be secured at widely
scattering sections. .
Wheat buyers are having a till sll

other is quoting 82c for club, 83c for

and 85c tor bluestem. All of these are
based on track delivery Portland.
