While one parts1' denied tba report that
he has purchased eaatern potato for

So-Called Bermudas Not as
Good as N 3 Oregons
Quoted at 8c Pound.
A small shipment of so-called Cer
muda onions which recently reached
this market Is not as good looking stock
as the trade here might have expected.
The stork Is nacked in crates of 60
Pounds each "and considerable ha been
so oaaiy jolted in shipment that It Is
not nearly as good as No. 1 Oregon now
offering.
The Oregon onions now In market sre
generally or Tin quality. The taste is
much sweeter than the so-called forelrn
stock and It cost much less money.
While tha "Bermudas'! ar bolng quoted
here at So a pound, fancy Oregon can
be aeoured at 12.60 or even less.
Several attamnta hiv. tM marl h
local parties to bring In foreign onlona
this season, but all have proved a fail
ure because of tha batter quality of
tha home product than tha outsld
goods.

Sheep and lsmbs formed the total
arrivals today in the North Portland
yarda and P.ugg Brothera of Pendleton
had the honor of belne the only shlD-
pera during the paat 24 houra.
Not only ere the Pendleton men the
only s'nippera but Iliey HUewlne received
an advance of about 10c over recent
quotatlona. The stuff waa worth the
money according to the, trade becauoe
the lambs were of unusually fine qual
ity. They were sheared and averaged
87 pounds. The sale wis made at $6.40.
Sheep msrket In general Is quoted
quite firm by tha local trsde while re
cent arrivals have been somewhat more
libera), the wants of the trade have In
creased. Demand for mutton Is In
rresaina on account of Its low price and
therefore thip has stimulated the buy
ing. Conditions elmllar to this have
rulrd recently In the great markets of
the central west.
Cattle SMpmant Expected.
Quit liberal shipments of cattle ar
expected in the yards during the night
or In time for early selling tomorrow
morning. Condition of tlin cattle trade
Is excellent and recent sales have tested
the full ranfte of prices. No weaknesa
la showing; in nny portion of the cattle
trade at present.
No swine have arrived In the local
yards since Monlay and therefore the
market Is nominally showing no price
change. There was a change In the
situation at Chicago and South Oman
today and hogn advanced over yester
day's pHre. While this may be but a
temporary affair the tmde in general
seems Inclined to the opinion that hlj,'h
prices have been forced to a lower bawl
than JuBtliied by the Increase In ar-i
rivals.
Today's run of livestock compares
with this day In recent years a follows:

California' acreage In strawberries
this year I much decreased, according
to Richard F. Hosklng. a local broker,
who has Just returned from an extensive
trip throuah tha south.
"While tha production per acre will
be very good this season." says Mr.
Hosklng. "there is a ereatlv decreased
planting. Out of Florin the decrease
will rurr from 26 to 30 par cent from 1
year ego and somewhat similar condi
tlons exist In tha Newcastle aectlon.
"Around Los Angeles the acrae has
been decreased by tha heavy rains wash
ing out many of the plant.
'Some berries ' are alraadv belne
shipped from the Los Angeles fields, but
tney ara vary, limited and only lor local
conaumptlon. Beriiea will be shipped
out of Florin between April 20 and
April 26."
According to Mr. Hoaktna tha central
fruit outlook in California is excellent.
A big crop seems assured for everything
except apricots. The crop of cherries
promises to be tha heaviest for many
years.

PEACH CROP GOOD
AT MILTON, OR.
Walla Walla, Wash., April 6. Peaches
In the Freewater section of the valley
are not damaged beyond 25 or 80 par
cent, according to a well known grower
of that section, who was a visitor at
the Commercial club yesterday.
"I mean by this that not more than
a third to a Quarter of the fruit buds
and blossoms ara killed, which will just
aooui give us a crop mat win Dreak
down our trees. Another frost like
that of a week ago would not thin thm
too much.
Some wild blossoms on tha cherrv
trees have been killed, and In fact, most
of the damage was done to cherries.
This Is Inconsiderable, however, and
there will ba a bumper crop of cherries
unleas more frosts follow.
The average date of the last kllllna
frost In the Walla Walla valley la April
2, and fruitgrowers feel more secure in
the last day or two. Fruit is about two
weeks earlier than usual,

RED APPLE FINDS
PURSE OF PUBLIC
Whit Salmon, Waah., April 5. "I am
still preaching the red apple as the one
to. grow for the New York msrket and
the best sixe Is from 96 to 144," said
Kenneth H. Pay, representative of Sco
bel b Day apple exporters of New York,
who was In White Salmon today Inter
viewing orchardists. The Jonathan,
Wlnesap and Spits are the three beat sell
ing red apples and should be marketed
In the order I have named them. The
value of the red apple Is that It Is very
striking on the fruit stands and in the
stores and aprears riper thsn the green
ish Yellow Newtown alongside of It. The
Spitz should have been sold out by the
fore part of January, leaving the way
clear for the Newtown, a great seller In
the Fiiropsan market. Newtowns, ny
the way are selling pretty well now and
would net the grower here about $1.76
per box. Apples, many of which are
Newtowns, ar now being shipped to
England and this country, 60,000 boxes
coming to New York city Just two days
ago.
