A' disinterested view of the situa tion la that cold storage operators and thoay handling eastern fresh eggs are .' forcing the price of local eggs to a higher price than the trade can af fords to Pay. so as to stop the demand In that quality and force the bulk of the business la ths cold storage and eastern stock. .

ILL ADVISED TALK OF EXTREME PRCE FOR FATAL Forecasts of ,40c Market Earlier in Season Cause Growers to Lose About 4c a Pound; War Causes a Generally Lower Market. Nearly $1,000,000 has been lost by Oregon hop growers as a result of the 111 advised forecast of extreme high prices for hops by a morning publica tion. Some time ago there was considera ble effort to secure contracts for? hops around I64yl7c a pound, but' the growers were given the Idea that the market price would be forced to 40c a pound as a result of war conditions. Now the growers are anxiously await ing offers of 12fc13c a pound for their best quality Iiods, and the mar ket is really weak at the higher figure. According to leaders of the trade there was at no time the slightest Jus tification for any extreme price fore casts for hops this season as a result of the war; in fact, the ideas of the trade have been the other way that the war would curtail the export de mand to such an extent that only low er values than ordinary could be ex- PecffJ - Quite a few sales of bona were re ported here and at "Willamette valley points at 12il3c a pound during the last 24 hours, only a very small oer cent of the business being at the high- - CHEEHE Nominal.

Gwin, General Manager of Northwestern Fruit Exchange, Tells Why Prices Are Low and Even Then Demand Very Slow. Prom Canada and New Kneland to Missouri tLTui tha Pacific ocean there is a wall that the middlemen or the retailers or the consumers or all 01 tbem. are in league and are not step ping u with the coin and paying the prices desired by the apple growers. in Ore iron and Washington tue ra ther hysterical complaint is made that apple marketing is a lost art, or In other words, that the distributing agencies are completely demoralized and that without a merger or combin ation of some sort that everything will go to. the bow wows. W. b liwin. eeneraJ manager 01 the Northwestern Fruit Exchange of Portland, when asked about present conditions, replied that it was uphill ; work of the hardest kind this year to find purchasers for apples that would pay prices that looked good. He f ur- tnere remarked that if the officers or associations or their followers imagine that the pacific northwest with only about six per cent of the country's ap ple crop, can set at naught alt laws 01 commerce and dictate prices at which all varieties and grades are to be sold. tney naa Detter nie themselves to some kindergarten school of economics and stay there indefinitely. When practically all lines of busl ness throughout the worM are depres sed and seeking to minimize losses rather than hoping for profits, it is idle and absurd to claim that all - the Ills of the fruit business are on ac count of a demoralization of fruit mar keting agencies. ir apple marketing could have been exempted from the train of results contingent upon the war. It Is alto gether probable that the general ver dict would have been that the apple deal was well handled, for really re- marKabie progress had been made in extending trade to foreign countries and to all nooks and corners of the Lnited states, but under present con ditions the best laid plans cannot avail all that was intended, but even if re- suits are not so very sausiactory or profitable they should be better than the tinal results of 1912. It is a well known' fact, demons trated over and over In different deals throughout the country, that the com mon, mistake made, by the amateur co operative fruit growers' organizations ia to ask prices that are low when they should be high, and high when they should be low. It is characteristic of cooperative organizations that being out or vital touch with the action of tbe market, they are usually unwilling 10 meet an unravoraoie situation promptly enough to minimize their losses. Generally, they hesitate, hold ing out for impossible prices so long mat tney miss tha marKet and wind up by taltinir prices far less than thev mignt have gotten bv the exercise of courage ana ludirment in the first piace. ili&tory is repeating Itself this year. "The Northwestern Fruit Exchange has an established and well known policy, which is. that after thoroughly canvassing all of the buyers through out the world"s markets, the best ob tainable price will be round to be the value of the fruit. The thing works automatically, xnere is no guess-wore about it. It Is lust as plain as two and two makes four. It is a mating that there should ever be any ques tion or tne method to be followed in determining true value. "At this point, 'it Is most significant that even at the prices at which the ixcnantre nas been sendmer orders to its members, not enough business of- rers to ansorb a majority of the Ex change's holdings. The business has been, to an important extent, specialty business. Long staple lines such as Ptaymans, apples of the Ben Davis ramuy, uome Beauties, Winesaps, etc.. are almost untouched. Two and two always make four not sometimes but always. Likewise, the one sure siim when price is lower than supply and ueuia.no. warrants is a too rapid Influx 01 oraers. instead of this rank! in. flux, orders have been obtained only by dint of the most persistent search and salesmanship "The Exchange exists to serve Its clients end for no other mimnu TTn less the Exchange is able to anticipate mo Biiusuon, ana aispiay superior Judgment and generalship it will sim ply cease to exist, through lack of patronage. The Exchange fully re cognize this and accents hnth it sponsibllity and Its opportunities. The only desire at this time is to assure Its members that it knows exactly w.iat it is doing, and that It is acting J wiuusjn every car load or the is it it markets was owned by itself. anybody can adopt a schedule of prices arbitrarily and sit down- and wait, .until buyers come along and pay im ura, or me irun rots.

Exchange members will remember that the Ex change did so anticiDate th situation and begged its members to allow it to meet the situation, and they know that had such permission been freely and promtply granted, apples could have been unloaded at prices represent ing thousands of dollars more net to the owners. Fruit growers In the Northwest generally, failing to size ui tne situation correctly, lost the tmnuuaso in tuousanos or apple deal ers throughout the oountrv on vested their money in barrels instead of boxes and left boxed apple growers at the mercy of the open market, It ' Jru", uesiiiiung to appear that economic conditions far more than J-r!1?11 on?s wero the, cause of the 1912 disaster.

Wash, Oct. L A report of the recent fair and Pioneer day's celebration, which was held in Van couver the first part of last month, was given yesterday at the Commer cial dub luncheon at the St. Elmo, by Secretary George . P. Larsen of the Fair association. Mr. Larsen' s re port showed that tha receipts from all sources during the year amounted to $21,275.75, all of which has been paid out already with the exception of $457.55. There are, however, outstanding ac counts amounting to $3000 or $4000, on improvements and grounds, which could amply be taken care of If a por tion of the stock already subscribed for was paid In and tbe remainder sold. Out of the $30,000 worth of stock, $16,000 worth has been paid In. Approximately $9000 of the remaining $14,000 has been subscribed, but not .l'ylV?? f "tOCk yet 10 subscribed for. uw wcai x" 54.1 r aLssociauon is on much betttr footing than the aver age fair associations in this part of the country Is shown by tbe fact that on this year's show the local associa tion made considerable money. In SDite of the fact that th rermrt wrmirl tend to prove otherwise. A large num- ber of last year's bills were taken care of with the receipts of this year. Tbe nct year's show will be bigger better and that the crowds will be much larger Is almost an assured fact at this early date. Members of the association who attended the Walla Walla, Pendleton and other snows report umi Vancouver ana Clrke unty received a great deal of advertising from this year's show shows report that Vancouver and ana tnai aii 01 me coniestants in tne Stampede here thia year would return again, with others.
