'
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

ing notice to shippers: .

ROGUE PEARS EAST TO
Electric Thermometer Will B Put
Inside of Car to Discover Exact
:. 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.

During the Day.
New York, Aug. -21. Foreign selling

SALMON CATCH f$ NOW
FULLY 35 TO 40 PER
CENT SHORT OF 1912
Muddy Water la Again Interfering
. 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.

There is again a weaker feeling: in
the hay trade and supplies of eastern
Oregon fancy timothy, are being offered
as low as $15.60 or 60c a ton below
the previous low mark of the season.
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.
Barley market remains firm but quiet
with $24 a ton still being quite freely
offered for No. 1 feed.

TAXICAB CHAUFFEUR
WILL GO TO R0CKP1LE
During the next fivex.days. 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.

There were no hogs available for tha
market at North Portland, not a single
head being, reported in the swine di
vision overnight. Considering the bear
ish feeling that local killers nave shown
recently, it is not likely that anything
over yesterday's extreme price would
have been available had offerings been
noted this morning: This would , place
North Portland as the third market in
the country, both Chicago and Kansas
City topping the values in effect here
at the present time.
At Chicago there was a very firm tone
in the hog market for the day, tops ad
vancing to $9.16.
Kansas City hog trade was forced 15c
higher than yesterday, tops hitting $9
during the day.
Today's general hog market range:
Extra fancy $8.75 8.85
Ordinary light 8.658.70
Fancy heavy 8.50
Rough and "heavy 7.80 8.00
Cattle Trade Is Steady.
There was only a single load of cat
tle reported in overflight at North Por
land aside from the stuff brought in di
rect from the country by local slaugh
terers. There were five loads reported
in since yesterday's report but four of
these were direct purchases of a local
concern.
Conditions in the cattle trade are con
sidered steady with former values gen
erally considered.
At Chicago there was a steady tone
in the cattle trade for the day, prices
showing no change f r m yesterday.
Kansas City cattle iiurket ruled weak
with a further loss of a dime In the
price.

reported In the North Portland yards
over night. Trade in general was con
sidered steady to strong, with no change
in priceB from yesterday. Packers are
scouring the country for good quality,
but poor stuff is not so easy to sell,
except at extremely low figures.
