"Fancy California peaches. 4 ' . Hop business passing. ' . Pears sell high east ' t Sugar prices soaring. -The market for potatoes Is showing strength, af $1.25 generally for fancy matured stuff In a Jobbing way. whllj no very good stuff Is selling a dtrao below tlis. . Thera Is quite a liberal demand for potatoes from the hon territory and offerings are by no means liberal This ' U due to two reasons: The busy farm er and the fact that wholesalers are not Inclined to purchase more than their arly needs require. No effort la being made to speculate vpon the potato market at this tima. Local stock la not sufficiently ma tured as yet to take i ca re of any of the Alaska demand, and practically all of the orders are bring filled from San fcranelaco at thla time. This is not a very bad thing, because . every sack the south sells at this time meana that much less supply later iu ' the season when tie Oregon shipping 'period is in full swing. T, AU doubt as to the smaller output of early . potatoes at Pacific, northwest points has vanished. The late plant ; fng will be somewhat above the aver age, but of course not up to the pro duction Of a year ago either as to extent of acreage or average yield.

Chums and pinks are so low priced this season that there la not the slightest doubt that the pack of these varieties will be curtailed some what. While It Is true that the pack of sockeye this season Is expected to break a few records, still other varieties lndl cate a smaller output It is quite possl. ble, according to present reports, that there will be a fair pack of Alaska, reds, but generally speaking the advices from the far north are not at all favorable for other stock. There Is a lesser number of canneries operating this season than a year ago and this, together with the low prices in .ttbi't rAP , na vi.fAa .will mr-t a smaller total output tnan 1S1Z Columbia river advices received by The Journal this morning are of rather ravorame trend, aitnough the improve ment Is somewhat lighter than many had expected. A Seattle wholesale interest writes of the salmon situation as follows: 'The low prices prevailing on chums ana pmits win probaDiy result in a re duced pack, and have naturally caused Increased demand; hence, these two forces tend to create ultimately a very strong situation on cnums and pinks. With the opening of the Panama canal and the great development In South America and the islands of the Pacific, we are developing a demand for chums and pinks that will some day call for an extra million cases every year, "This will be known as a big pack year on sockeyes and possibly Alaska reds. Indications point to low prices and the Jobbers who buy now may get back the money they lost on their "dol lar pinxs. . Naturally, it follows that If the canneries succeed in almost com pletlng their pack with the higher graaes, me pacx or cnums ana pin Ka will be still smaller than 1912, though the better way to figure Is, to be lieve that there will be a good paclf of ail graaes put up. - "The lowest prices that ought to ore. profit should be: Chums, 70c; pinks, Belief That Government Would Tell This promises to be an excellent year for the growers of pears. Prices are very firm and have recently advanced quite materially at eastern points. Some shipping organisations, who had "cold feet" sold early In the season at prices now considered far below the actual worth of the fruit and even now- some sales are reoorted below th values others are getting. mere is not tha allfftitest doubt tint this is the vear when Dear arowers should get their profits.

It developed today that some big ex porting tirm was again freely offering wneat abroad at low prices In an effort to depress the trice here. This has re sulted In stagnation in the home mar ket; In fact, has affected trade all along tne coast. A small amount of business is pass ing in tne interior on the basis of .79 6tt-c a bushel there for club but as a rule growers In Walla Walla and Uma tilla counties with the 10r- frls-ht anrl carrying rate to tidewater, are not will ing to offer freely below the 70c mark. It IS not believed that anv r-nnalrlar. able movement of wheat can be forced from tidewater under SOc a bushel for club here, at least during the early part of the season. There is nothing at all doing In the barley trade. Owing to the stagnation In the foreign markets, and with fi nancial conditions Dressina- in th smith practically no business has resulted re cently. As the present writing It is not probable that any Pacific northwest bar ley will be wanted In the east, this be ing reflected In the low oricea now In effect at Chicago and other eastern points. Several coast firms have en deavored to sell barley cargoes abroad but all have met with failur ( n. erally the case when quite a few orders to sell are shown.
