the aid of producera by cutting existing
freight chargea In half. This haa al
ways been a big help to growers and
has allowed them to-secure something

have been lost. The lower rate will
likewise give consumers at other, polnta

CANNED SHAD TRADE :
BEGINS TO SHOW A
LIBERAL MOVEMENT
Sales In the Local Field Increasing
at 70 to T5 Cent a Dojen and Far
South Is Beginning to See Excel
lent Quality of the Fish.
The market for canned shad is In
creasing and wider distribution Is
shown.
galea continue to b made at 70 to Ito
per dosen. according to size of orders.
Local business Is shown the greatest In
crease, and retail grocers who have or
dered have placed duplicate orders ow
In to the demand from consumers.
The retail price haa been placed at
lOo a can, which tnakea this fish cheaper
to consumers than the poor quality of
salmon. The quality of this year's pack
of shad along the Columbia Is very
good.
Letters received by local canners from
representatives An the far south Indi
cate some liberal business to come from
that direction as soon aa the stock Is
Introduced. -
The pack of shad along the river this
year reached a total of about 12.000
cases. This being the initial season
for canning shad, the amount la more
liberal than expected.
"We are meeting with good success
in. the sale of shad from the local ter
ritory," says Robert 8. Farrell, of the
Pillar Rock Packing company, and the
originator of canning this fish for mar
ket. "We cannot expect too much for
the first season, or until the good qual
ity of the fish Is known by the pub
lic." '
The run of salmon In the Columbia la
somewhat better. Otllnetters secured
better hauls than the seines but all (rear
has taken' more fish than for some timed

POLITICS' DEPRESSES-
BOSTON WOOL TRADE
Boston, Mass., Aug. 3. Political con
ditions have depressed the wool market
somewhat the past week through the
unexpected passage of the La Follette
bill by the senate. Leading factors,
however, seem to feel as curtain as ever
that no tariff legislation affecting the
wool schedule wil be completed at this
session.
Already signs are manifested of a con
teat pending between the house and the
pennte over the wool bill and no one
In the trade appears to fear that any
legislation will bo adopted In both
houses for the president to sign. The
real strength of the market, hoWevet, Is
the excellent demand for goods that has
followed the recent openings of light
weight, spring goods In New .York.

Hop Contracts Filed.
(Spwtl-4e Tbe Journal.)
McMlnnvllle, Or Aug. 3. Added hop
contracts for the T912 crops are being
made by Yamhill county hopsrrowers.
Joseph Harris has purchased 10,000
pounds from F. A. Slmonson of near
Amity at 21 cents, and Ralph Williams
of Dalits has purchased the George
Massey crop at Amity at 21 H cents and
that of J. L. Loop & Son.
Recent measurements have shown that
a little known waterfall in South Amer
ica exceeds the Niagara Falls In slro,
being nearly two .miles wide and 213
fast high.
AT LOWER PRICES;
Market Is Firm at . 19 Cents a Pound
buV Growers Are Not Anxious to
Do Business at This., Figure;
Shorts Getting Under Cover. '
" There ars unfilled orders in the local
market for about 1000 bales of hops at
19o a pound. Talk of deals therefore
at 17 to 17 Ho a pound Is considered
false.
It haa just developed that some grow
er who raise about 6000 pounds of
hops are contracting -th tim-thia
amount and are securing, advances of
about 7c a pound on this greater
amount. It win be easy for these grow
ers to purchase other growers' hops and
fill the increase if the marktt goes to
a lower flrurs than the contract calls
for. On the other hand if the market
goes up the dealer (Who purchased the
contract will secure but the smaller
amount produoed in the yard tied up,
One dealer alone has orders from for
eign Interests which he has been unable
to fill at 18H to 19c a pound. He waa
out all day yesterday and met with no
aucoeas, although the bears ara talking
about securing contract at 17 to 17He.
The market for contracts haa been
rather active since the recent reduction
in prices. Foreign ahorta have been in
clined to taka hold whenever they were
given a concession In the price.
Present weather conditiona are against
a clean crop and spraying is absolutely
necessary.

Ths wheat situation shows llttla
change. There remains quite a spread
between quotations paid by ths various
interests. One leading miller is offer
ing 78c for club and 81o track for blue
stem, but this is a cent above all others
for the latter variety.
There la only a amall demand for
flour from the orient, Chinese interests
being the principal buyers. A sprinkling
of trsde Is reported with Japan. Prieea
rule at $3.60 for club and $3.70 for
bluestem cut offs.
While a small amount of buying of
oats contracts continues, trade la on too
nominal a baala to form an accurate
quotation.
Barley continues- to show weakneaa
with little effort being made on the
part of brewers to take thas quality.
Hay trade is firm for old crop but
buyers are still afraid to take hold of
new crop owing to the fear of over
heating. WHEAT RALLIES AT

muzzles to Inform them as to the type
cf muzzle to be used under the oral,

muzzles be purchased large enough to
ilve the dog freedom in moving his -jaws,

been Injured on the streets, he says, but '
sanding, which may b done at small
cost, saves the horses.. Paving; compa
nlcs favor it because it makes a better :
street, he says, and automobiles favor.
it because It prevents tires from skid
