E FOR CRABAPPLE JELLY NEAR AT SUPPLIES VERY GOOD price la Down to Low" Water Mark and Quality Could Not Be Better, Say Mark Levy, Well Known Grower and Wholesaler. Today's Produoe Trad. Egg market quiet Chees alow but steady. Uutter market firm. Hop trade stagnant. Country meaty hold firm. Huckleberries; in market, Peach supplies limited. Local iomatoea coming. Chicken market firm, - - - e4 ' N The crabapple aeason Is now on. In dicatlons point to the publio making the name ' mistake regarding the proper time for buying' supplies for jellying as has been shown during recent years. The proper time to purchase crabap ples is now. Supplies are now at their beet and indications point to the fact mat values are at the extreme low point. 'Average quotations along the street today Bland at 2o a pound. There are indications of a very good crop of crabapples - In the local terri tory this season. In comparison with the regular apple crop, the output of crabs is expected to be unusually good. "The publio usually makes a very se rious mistake in its calculations re- arding the Crabapple season," says lark Levy, of Mark Levy & Co., and himself a well known grower of this fruit. "As a rule the public waits to pur Chase its crabapple supplies until most of the orop is dumped and there is lit tle left for any purpose. This is the proper time or putting up crabapples, prices being iow and quality at its best." ' , PEACH SUPPLIES LIGHT Supplies of peaches in the local trade are rather light and in general prices are being maintained. Keports from looal sections, as well as from Yakima, state that the weather has been too -cool for quick ripening. MORE LOCAL TOMATOES Somewhat better supplies of local to matoes were available in the trade to day and eaused momentary weakness, although the general market continues steady to firm, with top quality stlli bringing as high as Too a box. FIRST HUCKLEBERRIES COMB First huckleberries of the season were reported in by Page & Son this morn ing. The stock was in good condition. Reports from the country indicate that the huckleberry crop this season is bmch heavier than usual. HOP TRADE IS VERY QUIET Trade in the hop market is very weak. It is stated that a few growers are beginning to weaken and are offer ing at 19c, but the general trend of the trade remains firm at 20c. No orders at this price are reported in by deal ers. SLOW MARKET FOR CELERY Local interests report a alow market for celery. Local offerings are show ing a fair Increase, hut the price is still too high for general consumption. Bales are reported generally at 65c, but isolated deals a dime above this are reported. POTATO MARKET IS EASIER With offerings showing quite a lib eral Increase, there is a slight decline being quoted in the market for pota toes here. Purchases as a rule are not now above 95c per central and in most instances are down to 90c. FORECAST FOR SHIPPERS The weather bureau sends the follow ing notice to shippers: . rroieci BiupmeiiiB as jar norm as Seattle against maximum temperatures of about 80 degrees: northeast to Spo kane, 90 degrees; southeast to Boise, 95 degrees; south to Siskiyou, 95 de- firees.

Temperatures While En Route to the Washington Market. , The United States government is trail ing Oregon fruit There is no cause for alarm. No effort will be made to sieze the shipment for it is considered the best In the -world and that's not the kind of stuff that officials want to dis courage. Today a carload of pears started from Medford en route to Washington, D. C It Is accompanied by an official repre sentative of the ' government and Its shipment will be the first of a series of testa that official Washington is go ing to conduct to see just how the fruit is treated in transit and exactly what condition it' arrives in. Attached to various boxes of pears in this carload are wires that lead to a re cording thermometer 'On' top of the. car, which will show exactly and at all times the exact temperature of the pears in side of the box. Heretofore experi ments have been only with the condi tion of the atmosphere outside of the box, The latter resulted in some good to investigating officials of the depart ment of agriculture, but the new ar rangement will likely result in the revo lution of shipping methods. With an exact record of the temperature inside the boxes, officials will soon be able to discover the exact degree of air that should be in the car. The government is making this in vestigation with the aid of the North western Frult Exchange of this city, who sold the car, and its affiliated or ganization, the Rogue River Fruit & Produce association. The carload of pears was selected for Its exceedingly good quality, therefore the result of the investigation will be awaited with much interest by the fruit trade of the country generally. Pear shipping is now general from the Rogue river valley, therefore the government officials in .charge of the investigation consider this the oppor tune moment to start their work. FOROGNlELLi hurts New York Stock Market Specialties Are Forced Lower in Price During the Day. New York, Aug. -21. Foreign selling of leading shares today brought the entire market lower. Specialties encoun tered severe selling pressure most of the day and the losses were close to a point. The meeting of the board of directors of the Chesapeake & Ohio this afternoon Is expected to result In the cutting of the dividend rate from 1V4 to 1 per cent or a loss of 1 per cent per annum. Anticipation of this caused some of tha selling abroad this morning. American stock list was "4 to IV points off on the London market for the day.

With Chinook Catch in Columbia: Season Closes Monday and Total Output Disappoints. "" Very disappointing reports were re ceived today by The Journal from lead ing Columbia river salmon packers re garding the total catch to date. The season closes next Monday, and present indications are that the shortage will be even greater than anticipated a few days ago, when it was placed at 33 1-3 per cent from a year ago. Latest reports Indicate that the short age will be at least 35 per cent, and will probably reach 40 per cent. With the exception of perhaps two packers who operate on the upper river most in terests report a shortage in operations of 40 per cent at this time. The two upper river interests report a pack slightly greater than a year ago. This condition is due to the fact that tho stage of the water early in the season was very favorable for the upper river men, while unfavorable ior the lower river canners, "There is a big supply of salmon in the river at this time." says Robert S. Farrell of Everdlng & Farrell, owners of the Pillar Rock Packing company. "The water is so muddy, however, that the catch is exceedingly small. I would say that the pack to date along the river is at least 35 per cent short, prob ably more. The fish are now getting of rather Door duality, a large per cent of the run being of white color." or much interest to the salmon iraae at this time is the announcement of the government that all fish packed. after Seotember. 1914. must state on the label what variety of fish the package con tains, ii saimon it. must state wnetner It is Columbia river chinook, or some other variety. This is expected to do away with much Juggling in the market BULL DAY IN WHEAT PIT Market noses With Good Rise Al though Some Reaction Is Shown During Day. Chicago, Aug. II. On the whole it was a bull day in wheat trade and while there was a little lettina down of quotations from the high point on closing trades, the market showed fair gains ior me any. At the high point September was only a shade under SSc, December at 9194c, and May at 96c. The reaction was is c. A feature of the early market was the tightness of September contracts with liauldation of short lines Instead of by holders. At the same time there wan nxcellent speculative buy inn of both December and May and ,the loasls of this improved support was primarily the bullish news coming from Liver pool. . In the face of fine weather over tha United Kingdom the English market was up 9sc. shorts covering on lighter winter wheat supplies, disap pointing offers, of new wheat at Eu ropean centers and the less favorable reports regarding the probable Russian harvest. Coupled with the cable news was re ported from tha Canadian northwest that temperatures might go dangerous ly close to the frost line tonight in sections where the wheat crop Is yet In danger, and reports of too much wet weather over tne spring wneax country, Asneciallv tfhere late harvest is in pro- rrfso A hearlsh feature was seen in the fact that sales of 700,000 bu. of wheat to go into store were connrmea late in the session. Local wheat receipts dropped off to 2'06 cars. Regardless of too oeansn leaiuren mere) in a gruw- ing feeling, of bullishness under the market. Range of Overbeck & Trade bide;.

Early high prices when No. 1 east ern Oregon-Idaho timothy was selling as high as $18 19 a ton caused ship pers to become over-excited in their anxiety to reach the market quickly. The result has been the enormous shlp- Ljrtents shown of late and the extraor dinary, sharp losses-in tne price. The market for whest is somewhat firmer with interior - milling interests said to bo paying as high- as 80c tide water track basis for club. This is a cent above the extreme mark offered here. Tidewater markets remain very ouiet and mostly inactive. Total pur chases of wheat to date have been ex ceedingly small. The market for oats remains quite firm with $25 a ton being freely offered for No. 1 teed basts Portland delivery at an early date. While, there is more or less talk of a weaker feeling in the oats trade; the fact remains that all offering at $26 a ton, quickly finds a buyer.

Earl Cox, chauffeur for the Portland Taxlcab I company, will meditate as he swings the hammer over tho city's rocks Just why the speedometer was ever in vented. Motorcycle Officer Bales was riding near Corbett and Hamilton streets about 8 o'clock last night when he ob served Cox and his car. It seemed to Bales that tho taxi was "going some'' and ha was convinced of 1t when, on speeding up to 45 miles an hour he still saw Cox leaving him. So he let Patrol man Dudolph, who was riding with him, dismount so he could get up more speed. Overhauling Cox after a fast chase, Bales arrested him and Judge Steven son this morning imposed the five-day rockpile sentence. "I was late and didn't realize how fast I was going," explained Cox to the court. GRAND JURY WILL GET WESTERN FUEL BOOKS San Francisco, Aug. 21. Even though there be enough to fill two express wagons, the books of the Western Fuel company must be transported to the post office building here and submitted to the scrutiny of the federal grand Jury, according to orders issued today by Judge Maurice E. Doollng. heveral of the officers and directors of the com pany are to go o trial soon on charges of defrauding the government of nearly a million dollars. .
