While stagnation Is showing In the hop market of the country at this time, the belief exists among leading operators here "that a rather fair vol ume of business will pass within the immediate future. Quiet in the trade at this time rot unusual; in fact it is usual. Grow ers, are busy with their hops, either gathering the last of them or placing them ia the bale. Samples will bfe generally submitted within a few days when the excellence of the quality is expected to draw out some orders. The Oregon crop this season is ot superior quality and Is' much better. according to reports, than the output of other sections of the world. New York especially has very Door Quality this season and this will very likely prove an aid in marketing the better quality Pacific Northwest supplies. The .crops here and in Washington have proven to be slightly in excess of estimates made Just previous to the starting of picking operations. RAINS INJURE PRUNE CROF (Salem Iiureau of The Journal.) Salem, Or., Sept. 21. That the prune crop of the Willamette valley lias been damaged by rain to the extent of be tween 25 and 40 per cent was the statement today of C. O. Constable, Marion county fruit inspector. Green as well as ripe prunes were split open by the rain and rendered worthless, so far as markets are con cerned. As it costs as much or more to dry the split prunes as they will sell for In the open market they are practically a total loss to the growers. "If the rain holds off now for a while the growers will get about 60 per cent of the yield they expected September 1," said Constable today. NORTHWEST BANK STATEMENT Portland Banka, This week.

The Mon mouth evaporator began receiving prunes on September 10, ana up to the present time have taken in 1000 bush els of Italian and 400 bushels pf pe tites. From the present outlooit there will be prunes coming In for another week. In spite of the heavy rains, the prunes are in excellent shape and of good -quality. Although this year's prune crop will fall far short o" the one last year, the size and grade of the prunes will de mand a higher price. On an average the prunes of last year dried out 60 to the pound, while this year they are averaging 40 to the pound. This is due to the largeness in size and the great amount of sugar retained In them. Heavy Grape Yields. White Salmon, Wash., Sept. 21. Large shipments of grapes have been made from this section this year. They are the Niagara and Concord va rieties, and have been of wonderful size and flavor.

BELOV THAT OF 1 91 3 Government's Latest Reports In dicate, However, That Output of Commercial Stock Is Greater Than That of Last Season. Washington, Sept 21. According to the office of markets, department of agriculture, present indications are that the commercial apple crop of the United States is much larger this year than last, but less than that of 1912 py several million barrels. However, I a csumniea in ine current rumrxsr of the Agricultural Outlook of the de partment that the problem of distribu tion will prove to be more complex than two years ago, owing to certain conditions resulting from the European war..

All apple growers, operators, dealers and associations should eaij arrive at an estimate of true value's in order to secure a quick movement. . .o cijiiaiuea mat ir arbitrarily high prices rule in the beginning of the season, the crop will not pass readily into consumption, but that on the other hand, abnormal accumulation and congestion will occur throughout .o v...a.m.c.a oi iraae, witn disastrous results to all concerned. 6 Only standard varieties well packed Should be r,lr-H in .... age for the reasorj that prices likely to rule in the late fall an.1 oariv ter. as the inevitable result of liberal offerings ot common storage stock, will probably limit the demand for cold storage apples until midwinter. " lIorl snouia be made to fully supply small towns by direct ? j. oiuer to secure a more unl- ;u.u. uisinmiuon and avoid congest ing the la r en mnrli i called to the practice In some section of growers who go with cars of apples "tpiiea towns ana sell on tne track.

C MALPAS, Manager LOCAL BUSINESS NEWS'- Oregon Furniture Factories Turning Out Quality Goods and Business Is Increasing so Fast Some of Plants Must Be Enlarged HOME-BREEDING POULTRY SOLD ABROAD Oregon furniture factories are today turning out quality goods which com pete with the best quality turned out in any other part of the country and quality considered they have no com petitors. Business Is increasing so rapidly that they will be compelled to enlarge their plants. .Business in the furniture market -is far. better than had been generally expected and op timism is the rule among manufac turers here. The outlook for the fu ture Is most hopeful and Oregon-made furniture promises ln time to drive eastern stock out of the coast mar kets entirely. California Buys Furniture. After an automobile trip through California during which 4200 miles were traveled, A. J. Kingsley, presl dent of the Oregon Chair company with a factory in South Portland, has returned from a most successful sur vey of the situation. "I visited over 100 representative furniture firms ln company with our California sarles man and actually secured orders fully three times as great as I had been led to expect. In fact, the business we secured in the south was- exceptionally good. So far as our factory here is concerned we are running our plant to Its capacity. We are running every available hour that we possibly can and are using every nian that our capacity will allow. If the present movement keeps up we will certainly be compelled to enlarge our plant, for even at this time orders are coming forward more freely than . we are able to take care of." Confidence In Coast Tnrnltnre. According to Mr. Kingsley, Pacific coast furniture men have great con fidence ln the furniture manufactured on the coast. He reports that Cali fornia dealers are giving every pos sible order for goods to coast manu facturers because it has a direct aid upon their prosperity. The excellence of the quality of the Oregon made fur niture has left absolutely no room for those who say that only good stock can be secured from the east. Mr. Kingsley reports that his firm found absolutely no competition from the east because both quality and price were right for the Oregon product. At the present time the Oregon Chair company is turning out more than 600 Chairs a day and orders are daily be ing received for mora Money Drain Zs Enormous. The drain of money from Oregon is especially heavy. The money that Mrs. Parker Alleges Drunkenness. Vancouver, Wash., Sept. 21. Suit was filed ln the superior court Satur day by Eva B.

Tire Zioas Zs Decreasing. Gradually the fire losses of this country are decreasing. Americans are learning that every dollar's worth of goods they allow to burn is that much stock and money -that can' never be replaced. The careless handling of matches has always been one of the chief sources of danger from fire. The fire loss of the United States and Canada for the month of August as compiled from the carefully kept records of the Journal of Commerce shows, a total of $11,765,650, a very great reduction from the August, 1913, figures. The following table give a comparison of the losses by months this year with those of the same months in 1913 and f912. together with the monthly record for the balance of those years: 1012. 1013. 1914.

That Oregon is fast coming to the front as a poultry and egg center Is indicated by the recent liberal sales of breeding stock to foreign countries. Charles K. Perry, a well known chick en fancier of La Grande, chipped eight Sicilian Buttercup chickens to Aus tralia at a fancy figure of $20 eaeh. Eggs for hatching are to be forwarded by parcels post. The destination and the breed of birds are both unique. Two chicken fanciers in Sydney, Aus tralia, heard of Mr. Perry's succer with Sicilian Buttercups, and promptly ordered a snlpment. While that k, eclea of iflrds is well known in eastern states, Mr. Perry was the introducer of the breed here, and says the meat is delicious, the bird fbrage well an! lay plentifully. r Foot Ailments Successfully Treated By Graduate Surgeon-Chiropodist "The Barber Shop" Journal Building
