Sections are exempt. It Is stated that the . situation is so bad that unless - , agressive steps are taken by the states of the Pacific northwest there will be no potato Industry here to speak of within the next year or two. . It Is stated that the Unied States i-deparment of agriculture Is heartily in .. favor of the quarantine because it is believed that only by this step will .

' It Is stated that only a short time ago ,' an Oreiron. tiurserv sent a shipment of - fruit trees to California and they were oulcklv condemned and I returned to . this state. The disease claimed was. ' lf any such existed, no rare that even the leading horticultural authorities ; of this state were unable to find It in inr of th standard references. California will not allow shipments if nearh trees from Oregon unless the nurseryman will wwear positively that " no peach bore exists within two miles ' frotn where the stock was grown. - This is ImpoHBible. The fact that peach bore was Imported into tills aiai frnmi California Keems to have made no different-.- whatever In the .determination of the southern inter est to stop traffic from this dlrec tlon. ; " EGO TRICES ARE WEAKENING " While 30c is still being obtained " arenerallv for candled fresh ranch ' sjch. the market in weaker.- Most of " '-' the nrewent trade Ik 1n case count and -' numerous icleanups were reported last night by the Front street trade at 29c.

Or. : HOP MARKET HAS A STRONG TONE HERE FOR BEST Twelve Cent Paid and Offering for Top Stuff in the Valley; England Reported a Purchaser and Inquirer for Supplies. Quite fair business Is again reported in the hop market at Willamette val ley points, with good .quality1 firm at 12c a pound. Several lots were report ed taken at this price. Inquiries are again coming from England, and some business is report ed for that account, although dealers generally are keeping their transac tions quiet. Frank 8. Johnson Hop company was reported the purchaser of the DeLash mutt lot of about 70 bales, in the Keedvuie section, at He, and several lots were reported taken by the same party In the Aurora and Mount Angel sections at 10c to lie Durbln & Conover of Salem were re ported purchasers of 123 bales of the Marion Palmer lot at Silverton at 12c. Thij lot is said to be for home account. McNeff Bros, have recently pur- hased several lots in the Yakima sec tion at practically the same price re ported here.

Tiie local situation has changed In no es sential features. There has been no evival of buying interest and from present indications business will be sluggish tthis montn. dealers are get ting in quite a good deal of stock, part of which is being delivered to brewers on previous contracts, and the balance is placed in store. The tone Is about steady on good hops, but low grades are weak and any effort to force sales would necessitate tne acceptance or somewhat reduced figures.

There was quite a fair run of hogs in the yards overnight but sorbe of the stuff came direct to kill ers' and did not enter the trade. The weakness in the hog market here seems to be but a reflection of the low prices that have been gen erally forced throughout the country. According to eastern advices just re ceived, killers there have been most persistent in their bearish activity and have refused to take hold except when given price reductions. At Chicago today there was a frac tionally better feeling for rough hogs with tops at $7.05 but the general run of stuff was but holding its own.

' ' , I .a HOLD CLOVER SEED FOR HIGHER PRICES WITH LITTLE DEMAND Willamette Valley Authority Makes Claim That ,JPuIIy $100,000 Worth of Stock Is Sold Mere; Fears Growers Will Be Hart. The market for clover 6eed is re ported in rather poor 'condition, with F rices tending lower. While the east is .at present a buyer, there are only low price offering. Many growers are unwilling to accept prevailing quo tations, and for that reason 31 large per cent of the season'sj;rop is being held. . C A Willamette valley seed interest, in writing to The Journal regarding this condition, says: "In regard to the clover seed in thei hand3 of farmers of Willamette val ley, after careful examination of the different sections we find that there is not less than $100,000 worth of seed at -the present prices in the hands of the farmer. You can compare this with the annual amount received for the products of the farm and see what per cent of this total we have lying idle. Also wish to add that unless growers dispose of this seed in the near future, there will be no chance to move it east, which is the market we have for our earplus. because there will not be time enough to ship this east and get the seed in the farmers' hands there in time for sowing.

Meeting Today. TREATY, MAY INTERFERE Effort to Bar Foreigners From Em ployment on Public Works Kay Prove Pa tils. International questions are likely to ensue when the city council takes final action on the ordinance proposed by Will H.

First indication of this came this morninn when the ordinance was given first and second readings, and objection was found to the measure by Attorney Fred De Neffe representing the Italian con sul. Mr. De Neffe stated that the ordi nance was in violation of the present treaty between Italy and the United States which gives the Italians in this country the right to work on public work. Although the measure was drawn by the city legal bureau. City Attor ney La Roche advised the council that the measure, if passed, may be de clared unconstitutional. He cited a nupiber . of recent decisions wherein similar laws had been declared uncon stitutional. "If that Is the case," said Commis sioner Daly, "I would like to know how we are going to help home In dustries and boost the sale of Oregon products unless we protect our home people and give them first preference In public work." Seeing that objections are to, ensue to the proposed ordinance, Commis sioner Daly asked that it be given first and second readings so that it could be put up before the city coun cil for definite action. A number of surety bonding com panies are also objecting to the pro posed measure.
