    GREATEST RISE IS
DUE IN RED
WITH MARKET F
Entire Canned Fish Trade a Mas
jot Strength State's Hearing
Ponds Prove Uig Success in Tak
.ing Care of Small Salmon.
. i By Jlj man H. Cohen.
' Ths biggest advance known for many
yeara Is now being forecast In the
price of Alaska red -salmon for the
1914 pack. While official opening val
ues on reds will not be named for some
time, there Is a strong probability that
the market will open at 11.40 or $1.5
a dozen and the lowest price heard of
Is l.!o. Last year Alaska reds opened
at' J 1.1 6.
The great strength In the market
for canned salmon Is Indicated by the
fact that Puget Sound sockeye values
are within a fraction of the price
of the world's best fish the Columbia
river chlnooka. This being an off
year. In the packing of sockeyes and
with the market in extremely firm po
sition there Is a belief among the
trade that nockeye values will hold
around J1.80W1.SO a dozen while last
year the bulk of the sales were made
at 'f 1.40ft 1.60.
Insofar as Columbia river chlnooks
are concerned, there is no longer any
thing doing In the market for this fish.
This Is not due to any lack of appre
ciation among the trade the fact that
the trade has already placed its order
for several times the expected volume
of the pack. While at the present
time the pack of salmon along the Co
lumbia Is about 25 per cent greater
than a year ago so far as the canners
are concerned, cold storage operations
are on a limited scale.'
This Is attributed directly to the
fact thst the stated hatching scheme
and rearing ponds have proven a big
success. Inquiry among leading Co
lumbia river packers disclosed the fact
that at least 85 per cent and In some
Instances as high as 1)5 per cent of the
ttwh rmiffht thia MAitnn tvplfl'Vi from 1ft
to 1H pounds and are therefore not
suited to the freezers.
This means therefore that the rear
ing ponds established by the state
three years ago are bringing the-fish

TONE AND
PRICE IS
ED FOR EGGS
Local Market Is Holding at 22
23c dozen for Candled Extra
Of ferings Receipts Show Big
Decrease on Street.
.There Is a firmer tone in the local
trade for first class egg offerings and
values are higher. For No, 1 candled
stock , sales are reported at 22V423c
a dozen generally along the street, al
though some Interests have not yet ad
vanced their quotations above the 22c
mark. , Others still are securing a
similar price for case count. The buy
ing' price at country points is held at
20c.
Receipt of eggs, while fairly liberal
in some quarters, 'is somewhat smaller
ir. the aggregate. Total arrivals on the
ctreet show a decrease of fully 50 per
cent within the neriod or 10 days.
Quality of present arrivals is fair,
although in some quarters complaint
Is made that country interests have
been holding back their shipments for
several weeks with the expectation of
securing better prices during the festi
val here.
Trade interests report a general lack
of demand for Chinese eggs in the
local market, as everyone seems to be
afraid of the little brown stock with
the reddish tint.
into the river again and that next year
a still greater increase is expected.
According to observing interests
there is plenty of fish in the river at
this time but the recent cloudburst in
the interior caused the lower river to
become muddy several days ago. a
condition which will probably con
tinue until the first of the week. As
long i a the water is muddy, salmon
will not come in.
TOMATO MARKET IS LOWER.
Market for tomatoes Is lower with
California stock being offered- down
to 11.50(0)1.60 erenerallv todav. Flor
ida stock is not giving satisfaction
generally. .
BERRY MARKET IS LOWER.
Lower prices were named for ber-
rl es In the Front street trade and on
the east side farmers' market. On the
farmers' market sales of nints were
generally reported at 70c to 75c with
quarts at 80c to 86c. On the street
pints were selling at 85c to $1.
MORE RASPBERRIES COME.
Receipts of raspberries are greater
along the street and the price Is show
ing a further small reduction with
general quotations at 11.75 a crate for
pints. Logans are down to $1.25 gen
erally. MEAT MARKET QUITE GOOD.
Market for country killed meats Is
quite good along the street and ar

sales at 11 to 12c a pound for best
offerings.

All Other Diseased Stock to

California, has seemingly ignored the
warnings given by the state of Oregon
that infected potatoes from that state
would no longer be allowed for sale
here, for additional shipments of
"buggy" stock -have been received and
one lot of 45 sacks condemned by
State Fruit Inspector J. K. Stansberry.
"We have warned the California in
terests that their infected stock would
not be allowed on sale here, and ship
Pe,s tneJe have been given plenty it
time and opportunity to secure better
stuff.
"We don't intend to allow the Cali
fornians to ruin our growing potato In
dustry by dumping their diseased stock
on this market, and all such shipments
will be condemned and burned in the
city crematory- We will not allow the
shipments to be sent or diverted to
other points, because that would be
just as unfair to those sections. If
lrfected potatoes are sent 'here from
Calllornia or from any other place we
tire going to condemn them."
Mr. Stansberrv will address a meet

will bring along some of the wormy
stock to show producers the serious

WHOLESALERS ARE
TO FORCE A
Receipts Are Heavier and Supplies
Are Not Cleaning Up Even at
Further Sharp Redaction in For
mer Quotations.
Receipts of chickens are so heavy
at this time that he wholesale trado
is unable to take care of offerings.
The great avalanche of offerings at
this time is due, in a measure, to the
ract that the average shipper get3
the idea that the market is going to
show a very sensational advance dur
ing the holidays, therefore holds back
his shipments for a week and then
sends forward all his supplies at ence.
If this idea entered the mind of one
or two shippers it is quite possible
mat tne scneme would work. The
trouble is that practically all interests
view the matter the same way. The
result is that the market is famished
for awhile and then is glutted with
offerings.
The present instance is no excep
tion to the general rule. The same is
true of chickens at Thanksgiving,
Christmas and New Years, and is true
of eggs at- Kaster. Results are gen
erally opposite what the shipper be
lieves they will be. The successful
one ships whenever he has stock; to
send forward.
Sales of. chickens Were made gen
erally down to 14c a pound durtng ths
last 24 hours, and even at that price
receivers were unable to clean up. One
concern is said to have offered a half
cent below this figure.
Small springs are again down with
actual business slow even down to ISc
a pound, while large springs are firm
up to 25c
Stocks Extremely
DulHn New York
New York, June 12. Stocks were
extremely dull today. Trading was
limited and the net changes for the
day were but a fraction or 'two each j
way. There was no decided tendency
atiown among the trading.
A report from Washington said that
no decision would be made by the in
terstate commerce commission this
week in the request for an advance in
freight rates.

Saturday will probably end the ques
tion, one way or the other, in the
circuit "Court, and from the attitude
heretofore displayed by both parties
the case will probably go to the su
preme court. In the meantime Oregon
City has its moftey tied up in the Use

Annual Alumni Meeting
Draws Large Attendance
From All Parts of State.
INCREASE IN FACULTY
President Crooks Expresses Belief
That College will Occupy XTew
Campus nrext Tear.
Albany, Or.. June 12. The 1913-14
season of Albany college was formally
brought to a close yesterday afternoon
with the presentation of diplomas and
awarding of degrees to the 12 gradu
ates. Rev. Slurdock McLeod of Ta
Coma, pastor of the First Presbyterian
cnurcn, gave the address.
Scores were In attendance, at the an
nual alumni reunion, from all parts
or the state. The board of trustees
meeting was also held yesterday.
President Crooks announced that the
trustees have authorized the election
of two additional professors, estab
llshing a chair In education and pro
viding a man for the biological sci
ences. This makes three additions to
the faculty within the past year. The
budget for next year amounts to $27,
500, which is more than double that
of five years ago. Fifteen thousand
dollars additional endowment, above
the $250,000 recently secured has betn
provided through the work of Dr. Fer
guson in the east and a pledge of
$5000 from the college board in New
York received by telegraph yesterday
morning. President Crooks thinks that
sufficient evidence lias been shown
by many friends of the college of
their intention to provide the needed
new building so that he announces
his belief, but not his guarantee, that
the college will occupy its new campus
by 1915, and will break ground for
new buildings by February 1. He an
nounced the first definite pledge to-
tward new buildings is the gift of
