Latest reports from Tillamook state
that the outlook there Is positively the
Jiest ever known so far as future prices
s concerned and a similar trend of
opinion comes from the Coos' Bay sec
- tlon. ;
While packers have shown no chanire
!n their attitude against the market,
nevertheless they are buying all the
, cheese that thev can get hold of. How
ever, as the prtct .they offer Is gen
erally a half cent less than makers are
willing to accept ana mat. amount uu-
der what other markets are willing to
ray, the fact remains that they are ge
ting very little cheese.
The continuance of the big demand
from Southern California ns well as a
liberal call from other parts of that
state, together with a growing call from
Washington and Idaho points, has
cleaned up everything that was avail
able In the Tillamook.. .and Coos Bay
factories,- In some quarters an effbrt
Is being made to hold some cheese in

Fair Volume of Business Passes in
Oregon WUh the Grower-Dealers
Selling Most Freely; Sacramento
Willing to Let Go.
Hop contracts are lower, with sales
In the Willamette valley at 19 to 19 He
Sales are reported for the account of
both-. Ski em and. Portland dealers who
are said to "be mostly acting1 tor the ac
count of rorelen interests.
Quite a few dsals are reported, by
grower dealers, and a few by growers,
but the bulk of the latter are-ttsking 20c
or better, and are not showing much
anjtletyto-let go. . ....
In the Sacramento." Cal.. section grow
ers are showing a disposition to let go,
and it Is likely that they would con
tract were the prices available hete to be
offered there. As Sacramento iiTpg are
not considered In line with the quality
of Oregon stock, contractors are not
Inclined to take hold. The price would
probably be available at bonoma, now
ever.
In the Yakima, "Washington, section.
no business is passing, with growers
them rather firm In thlr views.
New York state advices are similar In
trend to those formerly received, the
general Idea of the trade being that the
crop will be about the" same as a year
ago. Practically no business is passing,
buyers holding off until, they get a
clearer view of the coming crop.
No foreign advices of Importance have
been received recently,- Bivinp; me lm
presslon here that the crop outlook re
mains ravorame.
CAUTION SHOWN BY
SHORTS IN THE MAY
Chicago, Aug. 2. That short sellers
are cautious in their operations In the
wheat market notwithstanding thr-U
beating down of current values, Is ob
served from the way they acted in the
May option. -1
While pressing down the September
lc.and. the December 1 bushel
below yesterday's closing, the May
closed with a rise of c.
Minneapolis stocks showed a decrease
of 500,000 bushels for the week.

.
With a decrease of 800,000 cases In
the pack of salmon In southeastern
Alaska and a 35 per cent decrease in
the pack to date along the Columbia
river, together with practically a total
failure of the Tillamook pack up to
this time, the outlook for a big salmon
output along the Pacific coast la not
very good.
The strike of fishermen In southeast
ern Alaska was responsible for the de
creased output there., While the strike
is reported settled, there is little likeli
hood that the decreased Bhowing to date
can be overcome by the end of the sea
son. While some packers along the Colum
bia river have up to 10 per cent of the
pack they had at this time a year ago.
others have 26 per cent less, and still
others 50 per cent less. This aggregate
is likely to run fully 35 per cent.
Ptlget sound pack and the output of
Frazler river Interests is likewise small
er than expected, and while a good aver
age catch la indicated In western or
northern Alaska, there Is no indication
that any fishing section of the coast
will show a greater output than In 1911.
Taking these matters into considera
tion, there t not likely to be nearly as
much Denrlshnpss In the orlce situation
Ha has been antlclnatedV bv some Inter-
esls. A loss-of - 16r aVdozen -for-all
grades is forecast when tlmpriees of the
Alas!:a Packers' association are named
about August 18.
While some are Inclined to quote the
poorer quality at even a greater reduc
tion, the trade In general is of the belief
that 15c will be sufficient to move the
pack readily.
Prices recently named by Grlfflth
Durnev company of San Francisco, who
control the output of the Myers cannery,
as well as several others In Alaska,

men employed oy the three salmon can
neries at Requa, at the mouth of the
Klamath river, have demanded an in
crease from 30 cents te 60 cents per
fish and were on strike. The fishermen
have returned to work and will remain
with their boats until Monday, when ;
the companies will maks answer to the ;
demands. The price paid last year was j
12H and 16 cents per fish. When a
local canning company began operations

A single steer sold at $7.26 finhe
North-Portland stockyards today but
that soarcely made a market and was
probably more for effect of booming the
trade here than to any market value.
Top steers are still quoted at $7; In
fact, that was the price realised for the
best that came In lots larger than a sin.j
gle animal. The bulk of the stuff did
not bring this figure but this was caused
by lack of quality and not to any di
minished demand.
There was only a small run In the
North Portland yards today, totals be-
lnr 113 head compared with 862 a year
ago and 431 for this same day two years
a tro.
At Chicago there was a steady tone
in the cattle trade today, values being
Ktntinnsrv with a. run of 2500 head.
Kansas City cattle market was 6c
higher today with a run of 1500 head.
Smith flmuha rnttl were Steady with
top Bteers at 18.65, or $1.65 better.than

Sheep Market Is Good. 1
This was Roseburg day In the sheep
market, and with the exception of one
shipment from another Willamette val
lay point, total arrivals were from the
Strawberry City. In all. seven loads
came forward from there today.
The market for muttons Is strong
with total arrivals for the day 1116
head, compared with none a year ago
and 821 this day two years ago.
Top east of the mountain yearlings
could be good enough to bring $4.60' or
a fraction better easily while lambs
from there showing quality are likely
to move around $5.60. Willamette val
ley stock wduld probably not range
above $5.25.
An examination of the mutton trade
nt Missouri river points, as compared
with the local markets shows-that while
prices are higher all through the sheep
and lamb divisions, the difference- be
tween the local market and that of
South Omaha for wethers and ewe Is
not great, even though the expansion In
the price of lambs is wide.
South Omaha was steady for sheep
today, with lambs $7.00 7.50; year
lings, $4.765.16; wethers, $4.104-50,
and ewes, $3.754.00. - - .

Hog Market Very Firm.
Extra fancy swine will sell at $8.65
quite easily In the local trade at this
time according to best Informed Inter
ests . While sales recently have been
under that figure, lack of quality was
the only, consideration.
Strength continues at- points east Of
the Rockies and for tlat reason only a
good feeling can be shown here at the
moment. There was only a small run
today totals being 188 head compared
with 683 a year ago and 47 head this
same day two years ago.
South Omaha hog market was 6c to
10c higher with tops at $8.10.

shown at Palotift po4nts. Purchases are
reported there nround $29 a ton which
means $24.50 here. The business Is

Bids for barley are again reduced
owing to the bearishness in the Cali
fornia situation. Dealers here are not
offering above $23 to $23.60 generally
and are not anxious to take hold at the
higher figure. Ideas of brewers con
tinue bearish and for that reason there
is little If any difference between that
grade and feed.
Flour market Is quiet for patent with
no change in tho price of old stock.
New patent prices are not yet named.
Export inquiries are again coming.
Feed situation is good with bran at
