10 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 1914. EXPORTERS ARE AGAIN BUYING WHEAT OF SALMON IS QUITE GOOD NOW IN THE COLUMBIA RIVER Fall Run of Silver-sides and Chi. nook Favorable: Iattr Ar of Less Favorable Quality Than Those Coming From Tillamook. The run of salmon in the Columbia Is rather heavy at this time, the show ing of Hllversldes especially being heavy. The fall run Is now fully Up to the normal and heavy receipts are hown at various canning plants as well as in the fresh tish trade. Columbia river bilversidcs and fall chinooks axe being quoted by local wholesalers at6c a pound. While Sc la being asked for Tillamook chinooks, there Is very little demand for the lat ter at the moment, even though they are of better quality than the present run from the Columbia. Sllversldes from the latter stream are rather good and th l.i being the case retailers axe not wfllini? to diiv thA arfditinna.1 2c a pound for the Tillamook offerings. Canned salmon market continues to show much strength for the better ..grades. The market is, however, a very nomlnul affair for the better class goods because none are left in first hands and only limited holdings are shown in speculative hands. These are said to be able to command 6 to luc a dozen over initial figures. CJlAliS AUK VKHY SCAltCE Receipts of fresh crabs from the coast have been very small during the last few days. Jeatirday none ar rived and today's offerings were lim ited, f ormer prices are generally con tinued In the wholesale trade NO II.YZOK CLAMS IN MARKET Owing to the extreme tides along the coast there have been no arrivals of razor clams In the local market re cently. The tide has been too high for successful digging but a change is soon expected. GRAPES AKE TO SELL HJGILEK While present stocks of grapes axe being sold at former prices, indica tions point to advancing prices for To kays duritiK the next lew days here, owing to the higher prices being asked in tjaiirornia. CHICKEN MAIlJvET VERY SLOW Market for chickens continues very alow along the street. All of the big interests have purchased liberally at the low prices durinu the last few days and most of them have ample atocxs lor next week s requirementd. KGG MARKET UNSATISFACTORY Market for eggs continues un satis factory. One local house cleaned up yesterday afternoon at 33c, but the general trade continues at 35c Cold storage and Chinese egg interests are making unusual efforts to unload at UU time. JACK RABBITS ARE SLOW Only a small demand is showing for Jackrabbits along the street at this time owing to the mild weather. Sales axe reported generally at $1. 50 1.75 a dozen. Receipts have been quite fair from the interior.

RUN CALIFORNIA ASKS FOR GARNET POTATOES FOR SEED Unconfirmed Reports Here Indicate That $1.40 Per Hundred HaU Been Offered at Country Points; Table Stock la Verjr Slow. California, is besrinnine to inaulre for Garnet potatoes for seeding and it Is stated that as high as $1.40 a cental has been offered at Willamette valley points for supplies. Aside irora this reported demand, which is not fully confirmed, there Is practically nothinir doing in the potato trade at the moment. There Is no shipping demand for table stock and the local market has much more than its immediate requirements now on hand. heliin k price of potatoes alone the street 'remains at fiipl.zo a cental for table stock, according to duality. but the movement is unusually slow. ljocai larmers are peddling" rrom store to store and are about taking care or the wants or that branch of the trade Just now. This, therefore. leaves little for the commission trade. XSo effort is being made bv Califor nia parties to purchase table stock at this tune, mis would indicate that the trade there has more poatoes on nann man it in aoie to take care of. pineapples, 7c pound; peaches, 40Q;DOc; canta- Kupt, aiKiio; watermelons. kHK'4ilW; caaabuj), al.ou crate: ocaru. 7acuSl.5u.

White, Field Representative, Micnigan Agricultural college. (Copyrighted, 1914, American Society ror Thrirt.) (Note In buvine aDDles know what you want and get what you ask for.) We have appreciated for a number of years that a large number of the fruit growers and produce buvers who buy and pack fruit, especially apples, have not laen grading and packing in a way that would bring satisfaction to tne consumer and retailer or repu tation and best nrofits tn th trowpr. Much of this condition has been due to aisnonesty on the part of these people. But we are firmly convinced that large Dart of this condition has hin due to the fact that there has been no standard by which fruit might be graded and packed. Every person was his own judge, consequently unless the Individual had worked up a reputation for reliable grading, there was no as surance that any purchaser would be getting what the package appeared to contain. With this fundamental idea In mind. I have held a large number of grading and Dacktncr Homnnaf ntlnx. In Hlffor. 1 eat part this state at which these PURPOSES Edited by Hyman H. Cohen.

Reasons have have been given why inferior fruit aa a rule should, not be put upon the market, especially when . it is mixed with the better grades; that they should be separated and those who de sire a fancy fruit and can pay for it, can secure it and be sure of having it. For those who are able to buy only a poorer grade, they can secure that and be satisfied. At these demonstrations. different grades of fruits have not only been shown, but the actual rou tine or pacKing in oinerent sorts oi a packages has been done. The legislature of Michigan at Its last session, was induced to pass a law known as the Jakway law. which re- auires that all fruits and vegetables packed in closed packages should be marked with name of the grower, or other person who is responsible for the packing and at the present time, a movement has been started to Induce the next legislature to improve that law by passing a law similar to the one recently passed by New York state which - fixes compulsory graaea ana compulsory methods of marking FOR EUROPEAN SHIPMENT ONE CAR SELECTED STEERS SELLS TODAY AT $7.25 IN YARDS North Portland Market in Excel lent Position for Extreme Qual ity; Hogs Again Steady at $7.50 for Tops With a Good Run.
