Newspaper Page Text12 THE OREGON . DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, TUESDAY EVENING, .JULY 21. 1914. PORTLAND IS APRICOT GLUT ABOUT DUE IN THIS MARKET: Housewives Jnst Beginning to Get Ready lor Canning Big Snp- plies Have Already Reached the Local Market. The big glut' of apricots Is about over and the market is somewhat steadier. The bis run of offerings has already reached the marked an.l the general forecasts of the trade are for a steadier feeling both In the de mand and the price. The average nousewlfe has not yet put up her supplies of 'cots for the winter, and this Is expected to create a heavier call during the latter part of the present week and early next week. Were It not for the extreme poor keeping quality of a large per cent of the offerings along the street at this time, the belief exists that prices would be somewhat better than at present. Some of the fruit spoils within a single day of shipment, there fore must be moved out with as mucti dispatch as possible in order to save SHAD DEMAND IS HEAVIER The demand for canned shad Is very heavy and one local packer, after fill ing an order for a carload for Hous ton, Texas, reported that his pack was entirely cleaned up. dome small lota are held by other packers. TILLAMOOK SALMON IS GOOD Excellent quality Is shown among arrivals of Tillamook salmon In the local market and for best quality the trade Is holding rather firm today at 10c a pound. A small snipmeni ot rock cod came forward from Astoria and sold quickly at 7c a pound. PEACH PLUMS ARE SLOW While receipts are rather heavy, there Is a limited demand at the mo ment for peach plums along the street Hales reported generally at CO 60c per box. Quality Is quite good. WATERMELONS HIT BOTTOM m With sales as low as $1 a cental, but 'with the general price at $1.10y 1.25, it Is believed that the low mark for the price of watermelons has about been reached here. The former sur plus has been taken care of. BUTTER MARKET IS STEADY While in some Instances there Is talk of a slightly weaker tone for but ter, the general trade is today re porting a steady demand for offerings at full prices for quality. Hake still decreasing. CHICKEN MARKET HOLDING Market for chickens is showing practically no change along the street with sales general at 14y15c per pound. Uggs are steady. Demand Is go ing more Into the white offerings, and It is likely that a premium of ' lc a dosen will be forced over the brown supplies. This is due to the fear of TRANSPORTATION ALASKA Special one way and round trip rates. STEAMS KIP J. B. STETSOS 8AIZ.S direct 9 p. at, TBIDAT. JULT 24. Make Reservations Immediately.

The feeling in the cattle trade here 1. 4 mnri vim , a a. ...nit se Ha mA,A limits v. vr theless values are still considered too low considering what other leading markets of the country are paying, The followinr mall advice from Kansas City shows the extremely strone trend of th cattle trada sren- erally: "Thus far this jyear 150,000 fewer cattle have been marketed in Kansas City than in the same period in 1913, the receipts being the smallest of any similar period in 20 years. The decrease is attributed to the drouth In the southwest last summer. July cattle prices are the highest ever known for this month. The de- 'f Known for this month. TO mand, cattlemen and meatpackers say. must be supplied mostly from grass rea cattle. Anotner crop or prime corn fed beeves cannot be made, they say. until the corn crop of 1914 is available, probably not sooner than the middle of November. 'If Ausrust Drlces for corn fatted steers are as much higher than the July level as they were in 1912, next month will see prime beeves bringing 811 per 100 pounds In Kansas City. Beeves of the sort mentioned are sell ing here at $9.85." Cattle Outlook Is Favorable. Insofar as th troduer Is cnnrsrni!. the outlook for cattle Is exceedinalv favorable. The extreme shortage of of- ienngs in tne Big markets of the east is sure to drain this country of the limited holdings unless values here are advanced accordingly. The price here Is considered far too low in view of what competitive centers are Daylng ana recently there has been much talk in the interior of forcine cattle shin- ments away from the coast because of tne much better values freely offer ing elsewhere. At Chlcaeo there wa a eteadv ton for cattle today. Kansas City cattle market was firm at former prices. Omaha cattle were slow with a steady to lower price.

That &ltber the advocates of the $1500 tax exemption measure, nor its opponents, should oppose the two con stitutional amendments proposed by the legislative tax committee and the state tax commission, but that the amendments should have the hearty support of all who believe there is necessity for, tax reform in the state was the statement made Dy ssenator Claude McColloch at noon today before the committee on assessment and tax ation of the Oregon Civic league. "These constitutional amendments are Intended to modify the present ln elastlq requirements of the constitu tion, which, under the guise of secur ing a uniform rule for assessment and taxation, have worked great In equality." said Senator McColloch. "The amendments have ths approval of the best tax authorities of the country. They are intelligently pro gressive. The proponents of the $1600 exemption should not oppose them un less they wish to be so narrow as to deny all virtue in any other program than their own. Those who oppose single tax and see in the $1500 exemp tion a step in that direction must ad mit the necessity for tax reronn and should b willing to back such rational proposals as these.'"
