J THE OREGON, DAILY JOURNAL,? PORTLAN D. -TUESDAY EVENING. -SEPTEMBER -1. -1914. I': V it u.:; EXCESSIVE SUPPLY! PEACHES MAKES GOOD SELLING MART WEAK With Continuance of Present Large ' Shipments Prices May Drop to 25 VH Cental Per Boi Lemon; Trade ..' Weaker , to Lower. v. Due to the large supply on hand and which wh being continually added to, the peach market today was very soft and the commission trade could hardly ;. a;et. 50 ' cents tor the best , quality stuff.' 'From .'there the price raifxed down to 30 -cents on good normal fruit, .and It -was predicted that if the pres ent tola supply continues for any pe 1 riod, the price- will decline to 25 centa. Tha Crawford peaches are virtually f one. . Fourteen cars . of peaches -came or the Portland trade yesterday and this morning, in addition to the sup plies com inn by boat and in smaller ' than carload lota. - Due to- thedecline of prices in the south, the lemon market here is much weaker and quotation at $8.00$ 8.50 is now the general range. While the weakness is apparent all over the country ' It la not believed that the drop will extend to what the trade calls a cheap lemon at 5 and $6 per box. , CHEESE TRADE IS FIRMER 'The 'cheese trade la-showing very firm with general scarcity in the supply: .The lack of Importation of foreign brands is having a strength ening Influence on the loea.1 product and an advance Is shortly looked tor. TOMATO SUPPLY LARGE Local markets are pretty well stocked with tomatoes and not much strength Is shown. The price variation is 254? 50c. per box. The stuff is coming very ripe and it has to be handled quickly. PEARS ALMOST GONE The season for Bartlett - pears Is drawing to a close. The supply is com ing slowly, and it is evident that the beat stock Is being diverted for storage.- The box price generally la $1. RUN . OF DUCKS AND GEESE An -unusual feature in today'r poul try trade was an unaccounted tor run of duck and geese. Inasmuch as the demand Is exceedingly small, dealers were unprepared .for the many cratis of webfcets that were unloaded.' The quality, was ordinary. The demand at F i resent in this line, while very Uni ted, runs largely forfat ducks, and on three 12 4013c Is being asked. SPECIAL SHIPPERS' FORECAST Protect shipments as far north a?

A Russian woman presented a valuable brooch, another a 100 rouble note and a third a set of Jubilee coins. Those in charge at Red Cress head quarters were deepy touched when a poor widow, who said she wished to do "all she could." gave a sliver watch, a gold locket and a shilling with a hole in It. Women throughout London are tak ing an active part in Red Cross work and aiding In the direction of other relief measures. Miss Nina Boyle of the Women's Freedom league is backing a move ment to obtain official recognition for a body of women to act as special constables. American Woman Active. The American women of England have offered to furnish funds for a fully equipped hospital to be operated in connection with the Red Cross so ciety. If sufficient money Is forth coming a hospital ship will also be equipped. Lady Arthur Paget, Lady Lowther, Lady Randolph Churchill and Mrs. Lulu Harcourt were the first to appeal to American women to aid in the war relief fund movement. The Little theatre has been turned ever to the women's emergency corps, and several hundred women have en? rolled there to care . for children, dis tribute food supplies, act as cooks or chauffeurs or perform any other serv ices to which they may be assigned.

An old woman rose slowly to her feet after a silent prayer for her son, who is on a British warship in the North sea. " M ain't going to cry.' she mut tered. 'I ain't going to cry. I'm going to 'old mtself In, like ' begged me to.' ' "She hobbled away to the door of the great cathedral and looked out on mafchlne soldiers and heard the news lads shrieking out a tale of a naval j disaster. But she 'held herself In.' "She stood for London. Her look of calm resignation reflected our great city's soul. London is holding herself in. Our minds are fixed on tne British fleet and its glorious heritage. Hew Spirit Has Corns. "When we'Jiear the beating of the drums and see the gleaming helmets j and the colors sweeping proudly by, we raise , our hats. There is a cheer, of course, but no mafficking. A won derful new spirit has come to the town, a spirit which buoys up and strengthens, and which silences the raucous roar of those who shout "but never fight. ' 1 "London was shaken In the begin ning, but she is firm bnce again. "There are soldiers everywhere, in twos, in threes, in large companies, in trains and omnibuses and on bicycles. "The city clerk of a few days ago may be seen in khaki and puttees driv ing a lumbering dray that is packed with foodstuffs for the territorials. "But London has stopped gazing. She goes about her business as usual. Off to tba "Wars. "Women are quietly weeping against the railings of a big barracks. One carries a baby. A soldier comes out xin.i.tinu u if Yin didn't laush he would cry. so he chucks the baby ; .rrrw th chin and tells his wife that she-will be 'as right as rain.' A kiss and then she goes, wondering if she will ever see hex husband again. , "The angel of death is beating her wings, but we pretend not to see. We try not to visualise the fearful scenes j on the Belgian battlefields. We look at the glitter and try to ignore the gloom. We pick up the war editions with a brave attempt to appear un concerned, and tell nobody about that tightening at the throat when we read, 'simply mowed down, 'asked for ar mistice to bury the dead.' and '25,000 casualties.'
