SAMPLING
OF
TO BEGIN SOON
BUSINESS MAY START
Growers Busy in Getting Their
Product Into Bales; Excellence
of Quality Is Expected to Create
Demand in Pacific Northwest.
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.

Drying Valley Prunes.
Monmouth. Or., Sept. 21. 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. The sunny slopes of
the side hills compare favorably with
the mountain slopes of the Rhine and

AMERICAN CROP OF

Government's Latest Reports In

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..
Attention Is called to the small
L American applesless than
2.0QO.0O0 barrels taken by Europe in
normal 'times. Both the erowers and
dealers are urged to view the situa

the disposal of Europe's usual portion

1. Growers should niolr th. fmit in
uniform condition, gleaning the trees
only for what is ready to come off, re
peating the process until the crop is
harvested. The advantage is to secure
a longer time for distribution and tr
prevent the pack from representing ex-
... sinset, ui maturity ranging irom
ripe to green.
2. When niclrod tia fr,,u .hnu v,

a way as to prevent deterioration, care
being exercised to protect the apples
from the elements. It is explained
mat under proper conditions fruit
which is picked today should not be
packed until tomorrow and that for

feeling of confidence among: dealers
and consumers.
Inferior grades should be elimi
nated from the green fruit markets,
not only for the reason that the de
rnand for such grades will be very
limited, but also because their presence
in the markets will undoubtedly ham
fruit,rfitable aisposition of th better

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

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

offerings ot common storage stock,
will probably limit the demand for

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

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:

Oregon Chickens Sold Abroad.
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.
