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

There was onlv one uhlDner of live
stock to the North ' Portland market
over night and he came In with two
loads of cattle that topped the market
for steers at $7.25 and cows at $5.90.
The feeling in the cattle trade here

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

Mutton Market Is Sluggish.
Market for mutton Is rather slug
gish at North Portland. No additional
supplies came forward to the yards
overnight but the demand at the mo

haps best for the price.

Tax Amendments
Declared Necessary
McColloch Tells Oregon Civio Xeag-us
Two Constitutional Maarures Should
Save Support.
That <ber 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.'"
Send Argument of
Chamber to Salem
The Portland chamber of commerce
today sent to the secretary of state
at Salem its argument in opposition to
the Georsre bill curtailing the office of
state engineer, for publication in the
official election pamphlet.
M. Mossessohn. assistant secretary
of the chamber, took the document to
the capitol.
The argument Is Indorsed by the
chamber and these other organisations:
Oregon Society of Engineers, Portland
Association of Members of American
Society of Civil engineers and the Ore
gon Ilydro-Klectric commission.. The
argument sets forth that $aesage of
the lnltlitUe measure will crtpple the

King Welcomes Delegates but !

(rotted Press Lessed Wire 1
London. July 21. The first session
of
the conference Called K '
George In the hope of compromising
the Irish home rule controversy was
held at Buckingham palace today.
It continued for an hour and a half,
after which an adjournment was tak- ;
en No statements were given out.
A big crowd watched the conferees
arrive and depart. Among them were .
such distinguished men as Premier As- ,
Chancellor of the F.xchequer
Lloyd George, Bonar Iw and John
Redmond, the conservative and Irish
'lJU"ls- anu speaker Lowther of ths
nouse or commons, who presided
.rung Oeorge personally welcomed
the visitors to the palace but nm
participate in the conference, precedent
cAuuuing mm, theoretically at least,
from participation In political dlscus-
Biuna.
From some quarters, howrr.r .rr.
Intimations that George was regarded
as having broken this rule, and that
it was resented.
Epitomizing such comment, the Dally
Citizen, the labor ornn. said;
"The king's veto has been substituted
for the lords' veto. The court stepped
into the Curragh. now it has stepped
into the commons. The court must
hed where Its next footstep leads."
In Irish parliamentary circles open
dissatisfaction with the conference"
was express.-d. Many of the home
rulers voiced the suspicion that Pre-i
mlor Asquith was trying merely to
"save his face."
Ireland Awaits Result.
Dublin. July 21. Ireland was anx
iously awaiting news today of ths,
London conference between King
Georpe ani the Liberal, Conservative1
and Irish leaders concerning the boms
rule controversy.
The people hav generally expressed
themselves as contented with the ex
emption of Ulster from the authority
of an Irish parliament, provided Ty
rone is expected In Ulster. On this
question there promised to bs grave
friction.
Tho population of this county Is
practically Catholic. These Catholics
have all along declared themselves,
determined to be included under the
provisions of the home rule bill and
the rest of Ireland has shown its re
solve to back-them In their demand.
At the same time there -are a number
of influential Tyrone Orangemen who
have appealed to their fellow Ulster
ltes not to desert them. The latter
have promised them support to ths
last ditch.
Fears were consequently expressed
that the entire proposition would be
deadlocked on the Issue of this oo
county.
