"Puutocs affected by the blight look well enough, but It la In the pot that the truth is fully known. Stock affect ed by thU dTStolme Will have sufficient smell to drive the cook out of the kliohcn. A few potatoes of that kind will bn sufficient to kill the Kale. personally, 1 believe that It will be too dangerous to take hold of thla atock and wall therefore likely force mui'ti more business thla season Into eusteru Oregon." While the rest of the rotato trade la of the opinion that much damage has been done In western Oregon by blight, caused by the vice-naive rains. It Is not believed cnai trie situation is nearly as serious as Mr. Bmaddua (ears. However, as hu has ben one of the principal ship pers of Willamette valley potatoes to the south and southwest formany years, his words carry imiih--w eight with the trade. ' MAY HKLP PEACH RLlIUCfiT With a decrease In the offerings of nearhea in the Front street trade. It is believ.d that a slightly belter tone will rule during- the coming week. Trade Is now beginning to inquire for Mulrs and Bel ways, but u'n.e are coming. IllTTKK PHICES MOLDING Expectations of an advance In the price of creamery butter did not mater ialize in the local market today. Th prlcu is considered fuly high enough by most of the makers, notwithstanding the sharp advance in t'ne east, in the north the 1mm n'lvance t:i local prices simply had the effect l throwing the demand Into the eastern product.

HAUD TO HELL APPLES Dealers apsert that It Is harder to ell apples at this tune than during any prevlotm year at this period. Tha unt-vi-rxally low price that Is ruling lor fmit f.-t in rally Is having a direct effect upon the demand for apples. HAM PRICES ARE ADVANCED According to announcement made to day by Kieo Manulsou. head of the Iocs: house of Krye, the market for hams and bacon Is higher.

Dealers are unable to Interest buyers In the hop market at thla time. While some of the browers have been baling ' their lions and have sent forward earn-1 I pies, dealers say thut brewers are not. yet Interested. The recent raising of Engllah hop I ir.r. ull,nutiu. la ahi.lknr fuiillir. that' Is acting against the murket and until 1 the situation is cleared and urn size oi the world's yield as well as the quality Is known definitely, there appears little likelihood of any material business. In the meantime. It is stated that sortie, of the dealers have been rejecting hops they purchased on contract when tha price was higher than the present nominal market. This, too, is a bad fea ture for the trade. Quality ot nam p'es now submitted to the trade Is badly mixed. Almost all growths show a sprinkling of mold. In noma samples it can scarcely be de tected, while In other lota the trouble appears lug. Picking Is still In prog ress, although must, of the hops have been gathered. Hop Season Ends, t Special tu 'llic Journal.) Grants Pass., Or., Sept. IS. Picking yrua completed In the I'lanagan-Cornell hop yard Saturday, this finishing the hop harvest in Josephine county, fv'ot witliHtandlng tho inclemency of the weather a week ago, the hops have been saved with little or no damage. The Flanagan-Cornell yard, the largest In the cousty, had a good d ial of hard iuck, u part of tho yard going down during the rain, and while this mudu added work and expense in gathering, the Quality of the product was not dam aged. Some loss was experienced, how over, from those hops that were dis colored and not picked. Apple picking has commenced in a small way this week, and will be on In earnest In all the orchards next week. The frut is full sized and has colored up finely. Record Hop Picker. McMlnnvllle, Or., Kept. 16. One of the best records in hop picking is that made by E. A. Edwards, a farmer of the Bleasantdale neighborhood, near Day ton, Or., who though able to pick tho blossoms with but one hand, has aver aged between $2 and $2.00 cuch day he has picked In the Curler yard. For one-hand picking Mr. Kdwarus is easily the champion picker of Yamhill coun ty and there is some doubt If his rec ord can be excelled In uregun yards. Mr. Edwards is a fanner and goes to the hop fields each year for an outing. He Is about 55 years of age and lost his hand in a groin chopper four years ago. Hop Yields Heavier. tS;wclul tu Tbf JuurnuM Carlton, Or., Sept. 16. lloppicklng Is completed in the various yards of this vicinity. The yield has proven to be much better than was expected, and the hops are of excellent quality. Very little damage from mold was reported. Many of the yards have made twice tho yield of last year.

While no changes have been made in the price, the outlook la for a further advance in quotations here within v short time. The steamers from ths Tillamook country have been overdue for some time and the market has been short of cheese for over a week. At the pres ent time it baa none tu offer, and the shipment now due is largely oversold. Selling iirlco of cheese to retailers re mains at 17c for twins and triplets and 1714c for daisies. Outside markets continue to order the bulk of the Tillamook and Coos Bay make, and for that reason most of the supply Is going elsewhere. Local pack ing Interests have been so bearish re garding the cheese market this season that tha Tillamook sellers have decided that only the surplus shall be sold here. The present basis of selling cheese here, while highly profitable to mak ers. Is unprofitable to handlers, and efforts are being made to Increase the profits. At the present time' whole saler are handling cheese on a profit of lc a pound, but they claim this is not sufficient to pay them. Those that ask 2c profit are not selling the cheese.
