BUTTER PRICE RAISE
: DF 2 CENTS MADE IN
LOCAL .MART. TODAY
y ,,,,',,, .
Hot Dry Spell and Usual Late Sum
mer fatting Off In Milk Produc.
tlon Ascribe! aa Cause Eastern
Butter Prices Also Increase.
Tha usual late summer Vais In the
price or creamery butter, that has been
pending for a week or more, came this
, morning, the lneresee being 2 cents. The
advance was made by all Portland
creamer leg and many of the country
creameries, it was reported, were fol
lowing suit. Tht general pric now
is 34 cents,
I The Taleerseeras to tri natural one,
coming as it does with a greet scarcity
In the butter market Hardly a pound
of' butter hae come to town in the last
two weeks from the out-of-town cream
eries. The pastures nave oeen drying
tip and the hot weather caused a much
lessened production or milk ana cream.
fcoma of the creamery intereeta that
are-fighting the invasion of eastern
butter into this territory, declare that
we reuse was meae so mat tne cream
fries can profit on the eastern butter
that they handle. ASH cent raise on
eastern butter went into effect this
week.- This comes, like the local in
crease, because of the long spell of
t hot, dry weather. Others declare, bow-
ever, that the eastern market at the
present time is a very small factor in
the Oregofi creamery business, because
. this atate for a year or more has been
very nearly produolng its own needed
supply and the outaiue shipments have
been meager.-
A few aays of rain will improve pas
ture and should that condition take
place, it is likely that the increase will
only be temporary.
P CHEESE MARKET ACTIVE
The local cheese market shows greatly
Increased activity this week and dealers
confidently look for an increase in val
ues before many days. The demand
has been exceptionally good, coming as
it does after the August slump. Ac
cumulated stocks are being worked off
rapidly. Triplets are in special demand,
anil there is a scarcity in the variety.
FIRST OYSTERS ARRIVE
The first Olympla oysters srrlved In
. the Portland market yesterday morning
and they were Quickly closed out. The
wholesale -price was $3.60 per gallon, the
shipment consisting of opened oysters.
With the InoreeHing scarcity of the
product In the Puget sound beds, the
fisherymen are brooming more and
more reluctant to send the shell oysters
in the sacks. Many of the young oysters
are attached to each mature shell. By
doing the shelling at tha fisheries, the
sheila can be thrown back Into the
water and the young ones attached are
not killed.
CANTALOUPES AND SWEETS
A car each of cantaloupes and sweet
potatoes from Turlock, Cal., arrived in
the local market today and the contents
were distributed along the street. The
sweets 'are held for $2.26 a crate with
the cants at $1.6002.
TOMATO MARKET FIRMER
The. local tomato market shows a
much tetter tone today, the rain caus
ing better action in Front street deal
ing, frrhlpmnnts from up the valley and
from local tiolnta have been temporarily
stopped and it Is reported that the show
ers have caused the ripe tomatoee in
many gardens to crack. Boxes were
cold -today -art high as 60 cents.
VEAL DEMAND CONTINUES
Tho demand for country killed veal
holds strong and farmers are receiving
15 V4 cents for the best etuffi Handlers
of product are cleaning up regularly.
Top butchered oork demands-1 2 cen ts.
NO BLACKBERRY MARKET
Every day there are a few crates of
blackberries brouffht Into the local mar
ket for sale, hut th demand Is ex
ceedingly limited and the dealers can
hardly dispose of them at any price.
The crate price lingers around $1, al
though the commission man will take al
most anything vto get rid of them.

Rather sharp advances in the Liver
pool wheat market this morning made
effects that were felt in the Portland
grain situation today, and the market
was firmer. Two local bidders were la
the country yesterday, and it is re-
?orted that they were offering 70 cents
or fortyfold, 6i cents for club, 67 cents
for red and 76077 cents for bluestem.
Some sales were closed at those values,
and it is believed by some that those
prices will prevail for the time being.
One lot of brewery barley was bought
by a Portland dealer near Pullman,
Wash., yesterday at $27.80. The grain
was of exceptional quality, however,
and even at that the price is considered
high. Both the market on oats and bar
ley is Inflated, with Indications that the
barley Is leading the pats In the price
making. Practically all the big buyers
are sitting tight and waiting for the
drop to come 'a few weeks hence, when
the small dealers who are now making
prices learn that there Is no outlet for
all th white barley, and it will have to
drop to a feed grade.

POLK SPUD CROP IS POOR
Vines Smaller With Less Acreage
and Moles and Gophers Do
Much Damage.
(Special to The Joornat.)
Independence.-Or Sept 4. -Aewordlng
to the growers the potato crop in Polk
county is not a success this year. The
vines are smaller than last year, there
is a smaller acreage, and gophers and
moles did much in destroying the
growth. Some growers claim that a
blight affected somewhat the growth
of the potato crop in their sections.
The Burbank potato is probably mak
ing the best showing at present Early
potatoes yielded well as "a general rule,
and the price was at the average figure.
Last year potatoes were eo plentiful
here that some patches were left un
dug, while others dug the crop and fed
it to hogs and cattle during the winter.
HOP GROWERS REFUSE TO
LISTEN TO 17 CENT BIDS
(Special to Tba Journal.)
Aurora, Or., Sept. 4. There Is abso
lutely nothing doing In the new crop
among the hop dealers here. They have
orders at 17c, but the growers will not
listen to such figures.
The rains are likely to do little dam
age to hops, if not long continued. The
worst feature of tho rainy weather is
the discouragement of the hoppiekers,
whose camps are not the most comfort
able places imaginable. A few have re
turned to Oregon City and Portland
until fair weather.

Little Domestic ' News to Cause
Changes, Though Rail Hold
ings Liquidate.
New York, Sept. 4. Today's stock
market hsd a sagging tendency and only
a moderate rally waa made in the after
noon. There was little domestio news of
import to sway the market either way,
although there was genuine 'liquidation
in New York Central, Pennsylvania and
New Haven stocks. The speculative
element worked on tha selling side of
the market and seamed to be encouraged
by the aotion of the prioes. The dis
position to reduoe long lines has become
pronounced on the part of recent buyers
owing to the European tendency te favor
the selling side because of active i Sep
aration a now under way to arrange for
the conversion of the large floating
debts of the Balkan states and Turkey
into fixed obligations. This, it is feared,
will produce hardening tendencies in
money rates on the other Hide.
The market opening waa active and a
shade lower.

Aurora Yarda Were Deceptive, but
the Quality Is Excellent
-Many Pickers.
(Special to The Journal. 1
Aurora,) Sept. 4. Growers here are
disappointed in the way the hops, are
coming down this year. While the
quality Is rine, the quantity is much
less than was anticipated before pick
ing began. The appearance of the yards
has been deceptive, say the growers.
There are, however, some cases In
wnicn oia yarns nave turned out Dig
crops: one owned by A. V. Kell, where
picking; is finished, yielded to the ex
tent of 183 boxes per acre.
Pickers have been plentiful up lo
this time. Quite a number of growers
here will begin to pick as late m Sep
tember 6. There have been no reports
of business being done here In the new
crop.

Receipts were very light at the North
Portland yards today, and this, coupled
with the fact that the Wednesday ship,
ments were all cleaned up before the
close last night, made for a dull trade.
One lot of nogs from Idsho waa dis
posed of this morning at a $9 value, but
the grade -was not of the best and the
price 1h no indication of the true market
value for tops.
A number of sales of steers were
made yesterday afternoon at 17.76. This
stuff was almost entirely fancy, but
the stock -was closed out aS It came, and
as there were some culls in the bunch,
a top value was not made. Indications
are that the market for cows is 25036
cents weaker. The dry spell and this
time of the year makes it a necessity
for many of the ranchers to turn their
milkers Into beef' cattle and the market
has been receiving quite heavy runs or
the female stock.
At Chicago today hogs opened E cents
higher and the market held firm with
cattle and sheep steady.-

Reports from valley points received
today indicated that while the rain had
stopped at most points, it was still too
wet for the pickers to get out in the
bop yards. Portland buyers wore figur
ing on a very firm market when any
thing in the way or a crop movement
starts. Reports received from valley
points In the lam few days, whero
enough picking has been done so that an
estimate can be formed, indicate that
the yard owners are disappointed, and
that In some cases the yields are much
lighter than they were a year ago.
A dispatch received from New York
today says:
"The continental market Is (firmer end
higher, and the estimates ere being re
duced. Ten days ago tne crop in New
York utata was estimated at 40,000 bales,
and today's estimate places tne yield at
23,000 bales. uariy mew or oops
have been wold fur 30 cents a pound.
Weather Indications point to the fact
that the Or iron cron will be reduced.
and dealers who sold Oresm hops' short
at 13 1 4 cents are very excited and try
ing to buv at law 19 cents, a lew ot
tha uamolpa that have reached here of
early bales show very fine quality, end
It is generally believed among me ireae
that as soon as these samples reach
London Enalish dealers will be eager
buyers."
A numner or samples irom srouna
Salem have been brought to Portland by
dealers, and the quality shows much
better than last year.

AMATEUR SINGERS TO
BE GIVEN A CHANCE
Commercial Club Planning a
New Departure In Enter
tainment Line.
Early next week the Portland Com
merdsl club Is planning to begin what
might be termed an amateur cabaret.
The idea originated with the house
committee, which has long thought the
orchestra and professional entertainment
of dinner guests was not sufficient. Andn
so It will give amateur singers and play
ers a chance.
The plan as tentatively outlined Is to
have the amateur entertainment three
evenings a week during tha dinner hour.
John 8. Beall, chairman of the house
committee, is extending an invitation to
the local musical talent generally to
file names, addresses and full descrip
tions of their stunts" with the Secre
tsry of the club as soon as possible, that
the idea may be executed without de
lay. "A move of this kind would give the
patrons of the dining -room a 'little di
versity of music from what thev are
accustomed to," said Mr. Beall today.
i,,riv an a ioi or people in
Portland who have talent, but have
never ben properly Introduced to the
pMbllc, especially the younger people and
those who have not the means to ad
vertise themselves properly. There are
a number of children In Portland from
12 years up who are talented In various
classes of music, nd they certainly
should have a chance to get before the
public."
