REVIEW OF NORTHWEST PRODUCTS Lower Price Range Is Forced in Wheat Market During the Past Week. The situation In tha local wheat mar ket during tha past week baa tended toward a lower rante of prlcee and val uea dropped aeveral cams before tbt clone of the week. a a measure, thla was due to tba fart that prevlout prloaa were acarrely stable ones.

Prospects for a heavy fruit crop In Washington were never so good aa they are this year, aaya State Commissioner of Hor ticulture Huntley. "The danger of frost is now passed and I look tor wonderful prosperity of the fruit ranchers of tht siato this season," ssiq Mr. Huntley. Wenatcheo, Wash., May 4. The esti mate made for the aeason'a output at 4600 carloads Is considered low by many and preparations art being made 10 prepare ior emergency in marketing me rruii.

Dears, cherries and -other aoft fruits from this valley, The cherry crop will run nearly 100 carloads. If not greater, while the pear cron or ine vauey is estimated at oihi carloads. Peaches and apricots will be up to normal, whlla other products Were it poaalble to advance tha price of flour so that they could adjust them selvrs lo the higher cost of wheat, there would hava been little objection on tha part of the milling fraternity here to pay the higher flcurea occa sioned by the Insistent California de mand. The demand from that quarter was not a regular one. Only a law of the leading millers were short and lies were compelled by their contracts for flour to secure the cereal at any price they were forced ta pay. Tlie advance or toe per barrel in tht price of patent flour here aeveral weeks uro did not put tha market to tha basis thst wheat was aalltng It. therefore If the grain waa to continue nigh It would have been neccasary to force a still further advance In tha ground product. This had to be done either in the pat ent, the export or mlllstuffs. The for mer Is generally compelled to bear tha burden when others fall to do their part, but the present price of patent la rather high and mlllera did not cart to Invite arowlna- competition with the eastern product at thla time. Un the other hand it waa impossible to secure a rtetter value ror export China and Jaoan had rraotlcallv all the flour they needed ror May and June delivery and ror that reason wnne mill era tried to nominally quote a further rise In export, the orient would not even pay the former figures. This left only the millsturr remain lri, and In this line vslues are already up. to the record and further advances would oniv tend to aecrense tne can. therefore even tnis nope aid not matt' rial lie: Honesty of Pack Is Big Prob- Butter Exchange Would Be-a lem for Apple Men In Mar keting Their Crop.

Wnlle reports vary as to h big pur chases in Calcutta and as to the carry ' over Jn this country, etc., there are cer tain well defined items by which a fairly gqed lipe on the bag situation can . be gotten. Last year, with bumper crops in California and with tht largetit In our history in the northwest, we need in the neighborhood of 66,000,000 new wheat bag. At the present mo. ; rrtent. the "crop outlook in tne north- West is excellent,, but the crop In Cali fornia, cannot, it is. estimated, run over .'two thirds of last year's crop, particu larly la wheat, which will be approxi , mately one half of last year's crop. Thit will make 260,000 tons less barley .... 1IC A A n . , . nuu i.,vu iou jusb wneai -grown In -California than the nrevloua veai-, whifh - means 000,00 less bags will be ased ; In California this year than last.

If. aa is estimated, there are plentv pi bap to go aroand.

Laat year It was estimated that there would be fullv a IS. 000.000 bag shortage, and It turned out that wt naa a carry-over. Based on the present outlook for the crops and the oresent engagements, etc., of bags, I believe the same result will occur this year. CREAMERY INTERESTS APART In the- cheese market there vas a very good tone aunn trie weeK. The recent drop to lc ft pound ror flats put the trade on a basis where outside call This cleaned un cur rent holdings. Receipts were less than during the previous week. Bjr II jinan II. Cohen. There continues much discussion among th apple trade regarding tht marketing of the coming crop of th Paciflo northwest. Indications point to heavy production In au districts and mis is sivina concern to many crow era aa wen as aeaiers. Central selllna arencles hava been tht hobby of some interests, but there teems to te a very serious question wnetner tnia win solve tne problem. It had been pointed out bv those re garding thla avenue as the best to take to diapose of the crop, that a certain big organisation of southern California was the Ideal and that under Its sys tem which the promoters In the north west chose to copy there would be no problem at ail. Interest Is added to this view by the inci mat recently mere was a com plete turning out of officials of thV or ganisation in question, it was alleged by the rrowers dissentinar that It cost far too much to market the crop under mat system and mat someining else must be tried. The entire management of the organ!. zation was cnanged in tne hope or help ing matters, but even this does not seem to have the desired effect of cut ting down the cost of marketing. Those that have-been- foremost In the) ranks or trying out a central selling: agency ror apples nave evidently lost sight of the fact that there Is just about as much competition after such an organisation la formed as previous to Ita organization. Thla can be clearlv shown in California, where no company or organization nas a monopoly anq with Just as little expense to orodiicera as do the greater organisation whose bulk is so unwieldy that there Is always mora or less red tane with Its conse quent accumulation of expense. It Is not likelv that there will avar be a time when competition will bt re moved from the apple market. There are ro many places in the country that can produce apples that It would be im- anible for one selling agency to abso tely control. There are so many different nistHcta with their different oualities that It would be impossible for one giant or ganization to classify the products so that every district will receive what it considers lt value, Such being the Steps taktn to form a butter, egg and cheese exchange in Portland hava tht approval of those closest In touth with tbt situation In theat llnta. An exchange that will honestly ar form Its dutlea In tht establishing of prices will bo one of tht greateat aids in tha upbuilding of tht Industry. quotations given out must honestly represtnt tha condition of tha tradt and not the whims of soma dealer or maker who seat a chance thereby to either de press or advanct the quotation to suit his own tnd. - Prices quoted on tuch an exchange must be fair to all Interests sellara and maker alike. The organisation should not be used to make an arbitrary price ao that milk producera should ba forced to accept a lower basis for their product than they art now obtaining. Tht price must bt that at which tht product is actually sold In ordinary Iota and not marely a oasis for the purchase of the raw product An examination of the worklnga of some leading exchanges thews that the prlcea quoted are not representative of regular market condl- tloia. but show only what a handful of men -want tha quotation, to be. It hat been shown that at many leading ex changes the price quoted does not In any way represent what the buying public shall pay ror the product, be rauae In moat instances values art from lc to lo a pound over what the exchange quotes. There is ample need hero for an ex change that will show In a legitimate way actual market conaitiona ror cut ter eras and cheese. Such an organi sation price would give producers a bet ter Idea of values than they art able to secure without It. There have been periods In this mar ket when the naming of a higher prico for butter and fat did not help the In dustry, but was a detriment. These were when noil of the product handled came from cast Of the Rockies. In order to secure for tht speculators a higher price . for this imported ttocx, tha ouotation on home manufacturt was arbitrarily-' aavancea- to nuca ... ncijcni that It stopped consumption except for the outside manufacture. ' This has proven a detriment intteaa or oenem to the Industry because tnose manurae turers of the home product who did not speculate in the eastern -make, were xntnnaiiait in nav a .hisrher once ror their raw material, which could not be secured for the rmisned proauct on ine market owing to the cheaper price for the outside goods. : if thla condition can be eliminated from the proposed exchange for this city the benefits to producers and the Industry will ba many. 11 Ifrmaa II.
