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-

APPLE TRADE IS DUE
TO A GENERAL HALT
W. P. 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

courage ana ludirment in the first

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

It is stated that some nobbling has
been shown here by both England and

SATISFACTORY STATE
OF FAIR ASSOCIATION
FINANCES ARE SHOWN
Number of Last Year's Bills
Were Paid With Money Re
ceived This Year. ,
Vancouver. 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.

Oregon City, Or, Oct. L Tha suc
cess of the teachers training school
during the past two years in Clackamas
county and other special features of
education are enumerated in a special
report sent by County School Superin
tendent Calavan to the state depart-
ment of education. Clackamas county
was the first place to test out the
teachers training school law. The part
I 0f the report pertaining to this reads:
-Nearly all the teachers In attend
5I50 ance advised me at the close of the last
4-00 session that they had gotten so much
nraetlml heln that thev were certain
I f a successful school year.
j5 I The school was conducted this year
in two .departments, nameiy, primary
and advanced. This gave the teachers
a chance to select the kind of work
which la most important for their in
dividual school.'
The enthusiasm for better
school
houses, play grounds and play sheds
2. for the children and a better system of
heating, lighting and ventilation In the
buildings has been conducive to good
results, continues the report. The pa
rent-teachers association has been an
important factor In all this work.

LOCAL BUSINESS I NEWS
Trade Conditions Have
cently But Upward Movement Has Been so
Slow as to Escape General Notice
BETTER TONE NOTED
Business Is "better In Portland than 1
most' men are willing to admit, even
to themselves. Gradually but Burely
there has been an Improvement In
trade conditions. The improvement has
in fact, been 'so gradual as to escape
the general attention.
Readjustment in business, found
necessary all over tbe world because
of the European war, gradually is be
ing made. While In some lines it will
take longer than in others, practically
all retail lines have already felt the ef
feet of the readjustment. Business
would be still better If business men
themselves were not so hesitant about
admitting tha upward tendency each
has noted.
Telegraph Business as Sign.
The telegraph business is one of the
best Uusexes of general conditions.
When business Is slack or .dull, -there
is a general disposition to spend as
little money as absolutely necessary.
When trade picks up and the outlook
is more hopeful, then there Is less In
clination to beat down expenses. Noth
ing reflects the tendency to curtail
expense quicker than the telegraph.
Manager W. A. Robb, of the Western
Union Telegraph company's Portland
office, says that business at this time
last year In the local office was far
the greatest in the history of the in
stitution and that receipts at this time
are within a mere fraction of what
they were 12 months ago.
Xaquiry for Beal Estate.
A prominent real estate man is au
thority for the assertion that more
inquiries recently have been made at
his office regarding real estate than
for several months past. The realty
man attributes the increased inquiries
to the belief of Investors that the bot
torn has been reached.
