J V'-'. THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1914, 13 EUROPE WILL WORMS PLAY HAVOC IN LOCAL Output Is Decreased as Result of Dry Weather Which. Is Aiding the Pests in Their Work of Destruction in the Valley. Wormi are playing havoc with the Oregon cabbage crop aMs season. The -continued dry weather Is aiding the peats tn their work, and the yield is being reduced in all local districts, according; to various reports. Ho extreme has been the shortage , of cabbage in the local market re cently that the trade has been again compelled to send to California tor supplies. While the quality of the southern stock is not as good as might be desired, the trade considers that it - is better than none at all. While in isolated instances local cabbage is selling in the wholesale market as high as 2 Vic a pound, the general price, both for the home prod uct and the California stufr stands strong at lie. The outlook is for a very firm market within the Immedi ate future. EGO MARKET IS VERY POOR 4 Very poor market is showing for egga locally, with liberal arrivals. On leading f. o. b. house reported this morning that it roceived over 100 cases of eggs yesterday, although it has been practically out of the market for two weeks. CHICKEN .

FIRST CAR OF GRAPES HERE First full car of Malaga grapes has been received from the south, and was delivered along Front street to day Quality was good. Sales were reported at J1.75 each ror tne tugs or boxes. , SPICE AND COFFEE RISE Very excited market ls'showlng both for spices and coffee locally, as a di rect result of the European situation. The spice market is from 10 to 15 pr cent higher in all departments. Sugar is also firm, and is expected to advance- any moment. CORN REEF PRICK ADVANCED Packers have given notice of a harp advance in the price of canned corn beef. The new price is an ad vance of 10c a dozen for l'a and 20c a dozen for 2's.

COMPANY 673 MARKET ST. San Francisco, Cal. V BE FORCED LOCAL TOMATOES A SCARCE ARTICLE AND OUTSIDE STUFF HERE California Sends Three Carloads During Last 48 Hours but Mar ket Is in Very Good Shape; Home Crop Is Disappointing. California tomatoes are again invad ing the local market on account Of the smaller offerings from home sections. Recent receipts from The Dalles as well as from Willamette valley points have been comparatively limited and the trade is feeling the effects of it. This ia amply shown in the very strong prices that are ruling, 85 90c for first class offerings. Several carloads of California toma toes have been received in the Front street trade during the last 48 hours and these are meeting with a good de mand around 60 65c a box generally while the local stuff is finding .favor at the higher prices. The present shortage of home grown tomatoes has been generally unexpect ed hv rhe trade. About 10 days ago there was too much stock offering both from the home territory and from California and many shipments from the south at that time barely sold above express charges. Naturally under such a condition shipments ceased but the improved feeling caused a renewal of shipments. WHEAT HARVEST IS GOOD The local office of the weather bu reau reports on Oregon crops as fol lows: The week was hot and dry. These conditions were favorable for harvest ing grain which is making good prog ress, the yields reported being general ly up to expectations. There is some complaint of smut which In places was more prevalent than usual. Spring grain needs rain badly. In the Wil lamette valley this crop is not filling as well as it should. Pastures are getting poor. The second crop of al falfa is short tn the northeastern counties on account of grasshoppers which have been unusually destruc tive this season. They are not so numerous now as they were a week; or two aeo, and it is probable their depre dations will be less damaging as the season advances. Fruit, hops and potatoes are doing fairly well considering the dry weath er. A good crop of peaches and petite prunes is being harvested in the Koso hurg district, and apples in thq Hood River valley are making satisfactory growth. bla are reporting a smaller haul of fish during the last few days. Quite fair supplies are still coming from the TlliamooK section.

LATE SEASON MAY BE EXCITING HEREIN THE WHEAT MARE Europe at Present Is Able to Use Its Own Grain but Soofi " WiU Be Compelled to Seek American Stuff; Small Sales to Mills. May Establish Quotations. A special meeting of the gram trade members of the 4 Portland Merchants' Exchange x 4 iiiio ucen caiiea ror 11:30 a. m. tomorrow. It is generally un derstood that some action will be taken to establish official ash ffratn quotations here. There has been considerable call for these, as Portland, while one of the biggest grain centers in the country.

The fact thnr tha Hon lr3 oplll Tint advance money on bills of lading has effectively stopped all transactions for export and the entire trade Is therefore marking time and awaiting results of iui upcaa situation. At this time it looks as if that not withstanding the present embargo on srain shipments to Europe, the season will be a most successful one for American producers. While It Is truo that Europe will have sufficient grain of its own to use during the next few months, after that it is more than probable that the biggest demand In history will be forced. At the present time Quotations are scarcely established although for some small lots buyers here have been reselling at mills around 84c track for club or practically the same price as they paid producers previous to the xuieigii emoargo on cereals. The hay market continues somewhat demoralized as a result of the insistent flooding of the trade here wth con signments from Willamette valley points. Owing to the very liberal of ferings some of the stock is sacrificed at prices lower than the regular mar ket.

Three years ago While there were no arrivals of swine in the North Portland yards oversight, a few head were still avail abie from yesterday, and tops again sold at $8.999.00. This places the Portland market 50c above the extreme figure at Chicago for the best swine. indicating once again that sooner or later supply and deamnd combine to make prices. There was a very sharp slump In the price of hogs at Chicago and other eastern points today, due entirely to the fact that exnorta Of hOK products are practically prohibited at this time because or the luuropean war irouoies. As soon ah this is out of the way there are general indications that the biggest demand for many years will be shown, which in turn should have a most fa vorable effect upon the swine market and its allied industries. At Chicago there was a loss of 40o to 60c "for swine today, with tops at $8.50. TCnnnan r.ltv swine market was snow ing a slamp, with a losa of 60a.

Instead of lowering the bars so that Inferior Quality apples can be mar keted as the best grade Hood River fruit, some of the leading growers of the world's' premier apple district have formed an organization to raise the standard. In other words the slogan has been adopted Dy the new organization, the Hood Kiver Fruit Growers' exchange, that hereafter the consumer will be fully protected whenever he purchases a package of Hood River apples and that quality will be the best that can be grown. Much dissatisfaction has been ex pressed by some of the growers of the Hood River section because of the former faultv marketlne svstem. For that reason leading growers of the district have organized the new Fruit Growers' Exchange and at yes terday's meeting resolutions wer adopted and grading rules decided upon. The following growers were chosen as temporary directors: Judge E. E. Stanton, E. W. Sweaney, F. W. Buff, D. H. Thorne and Kenneth Mc Kay. The fundamentals of the new organi zation have for its base economy of operation, stated in terms of minimum overhed expense to gain maximum results for the grower, a general up building of the industry as a whole for Hood River and the valley. It was specifically stated that growing, pick ing, grading and packing are to be carried on under regulations tending to achieve a better quality in the pack. The reception tendered the birth of the new organization was enthusiastic. Many Indorsements were received from growers who could not be pres ent, and who signified their intention of affiliating with the organization. It was decided by tne growers to adopt a form of corporation rather than co operative fund by-laws were made to conform with such. The organization, will be completed within a few days, when the policy ror tne coming year will be definitely decided upon. It Is believed a large number of growers will Join the new organization throughout the valley. At the meeting yesterday it was de cided to market through the North western Fruit Exchange. A represen tative of the exchange reports that already 100.000 boxes have been of fered by the new organization for shlp- . .1.1 : . i .

Aug. 4. Two distinct features were noticeable In wheat a the close, when v December and May were about best point for the day at about 2 He net advance over Monday's close, while the September was lo under best point of morning. The late action In the market was explained by some selling pressure in September, due to th large run of over 1000 cars tovthis market, coupled with the unusual money situation, while the later months felt the bullish effect of prospective. Improvement In conditions for exporters. In the absence of selling pressure and helped by the news from Wash ington, pertaining to the registry bill, and the cable news from the other side Indicating that the British gov ernment will -assume the war risks on open accounts for Atlantic shipments to English ports, the market shot up quickly for moderate volume of trade. Two hours later prices were back to 87'54c September. 92c for December and 984c for May. Then followed the closing strong rally for the late months, helped by firmness in the northwest and by the action In corn. Cash sales- of wheat were limited to 10,000 bushels to mills. The big millers were reported active buyers of wheat in the open Minneapolis market early In the day. World's vis ible stocks, according to Bradstreet's, increased 8,800,000 bushels for the week. War developments are closely watched by the trade, but they can have little influence on prices until uiere is an outlet ior tne accumulating- stocks.
