two years has sraduallv Increased

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.

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

An exchange that will honestly ar

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.

New York. May 4. There waa a aharp
break In tha entire security market dur
lng the week. With foreigners unload,
Ing huge blocks of American shares and
with, persistent bearish operations on
this side, tha week ended with valuea
below latt week,- .
Perhaps the most Important feature of
the trade during the week waa tht re
port that came Just prior to the closlnir
on r-riaay, mat tne dividend payment on
Hteei naa Deen enjoined oy tne courts
Hits brought out heavy shorting in tna
security and much llauldatlon. The en
tire list was affected more or loss and
this condition continued on the last day
or tne week, wltn rew -exceptions.
- The presidential campaign is still
very important factor In the stock mar
ket and the battles between Roosevelt
and Taft have divided sentiment as to
which tht market really wanttd.

Wheat Market Is Generally Weak at
Chicago but Mill Improvement is
Shown on Lnat Day; European
Outlook Is Favorable.
Chicago. May 4. Crop damage ntwt
was much less conspicuous during the
past week and tha trade In gentral wan
of tht opinion that whatever loss is
shown in the condition, haa long ago
been discounted.
- Prices dropped sharply during th
early part of tha week and tha beariah-
nexa continued up to within tight of tliu
end. Today the market acted lust an
strong as it had been weak during the
previou days and a sharp advance was
the result.
Roth aides of the market are nlavlna
with caution; neither being willing to
to far from shore. Prices closed lower
han laat week but the Indications today
were that another bullish tide had set
In.
Forelan markets have reflected con
siderable weakness recently owing to
the excellent crop prospects there and
tnis had a bearing upon tha local situa
tion.
