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 . TRADE DRAGGING
Trade in the chicken market Is
dragging. Supplies are not heavy, but
some offerings have been carried over
from last week The trade seems to
lack snap in all departments.
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. The market is firmer
and may go higher.

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.
SHIPPERS' WEATHER NOTICE

While some of the-bisr mills in the-
north have been compelled to enter
tne market here for wheat because of
their very limited holdings, there is
nothing doing at present for foreign
account.
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. WHEAT Nominal: New crop club,

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.

HOOD RIVER'S APPLE
MEN RETURN TO THE
Form New Organization to Secure
a Better Output to Protect the
Consumer as Well as Grower;
Affiliate With the Northwestern.
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-

ENGLISH WILL TAKE
RISK ON GRAIN FROM
THE ATLANTIC COAST
Chicago, HL. 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.
