10 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING. APRIL 19, 1915. CHINESE EGGS POTATO MARKET IS !A MASS OF STRENGTH; ALL COAST IS STRONG Everywhere Sentiment. Is Bullish and Nowhere Are There Stocks Sufficient to Take Care of the Future Needs of the Traded The potato market continues; to In crease jn strength here and a ; better feeling Is likewise shown generally along the coast, galea of No. 1 Bur banks and other table stock are re ported from $1.50 to $1.75 j cental along the street. Some that ha:)r been asking" no more than the lower? price, today advanced their quotatlpn to $1.65 and were Inclined not tsj force sales at this advance. j The market for potatoes along the Pacific coast and especially in the .Pacific northwest, is clearly showing the effects of the short crop ljor the market during the last season, f When V W. Broaddus some months ago made his report from the Yakima dis trict, that a very large per nt or the crop there would not be available for the market because of the treeze, the report "was not only generally de nied but ridiculed. Nv it develops that Mr Broaddus' report ijn The Journal was absolutely correct ani his forecasts of the probable advances In the price, made in these coluinns at the time, have been fully confirmed. from Puget sound comes woid that the potato offerings there ars rather limited and that it -will be necessary within a short time to secure stocks from elsewhere probably from the east before" the new crop is available in quantity sufficient to take dare of t ha needs. This condition was forecast by The Journal months ago, mjuch to the amusement of the -knowlni? ones' at that time. Puget sound wias the bear spot of the entire Pacific coast and the trade there was the iast to discover thf real shortage which later developed. ANOTHER CAR OF BERRIES Another carload of Los Angeles strawberries arrived on the strtitt this morning in yuite good condition.? About half were removed here and the re mainder were sent to Puget soWid. The price was placed at $1.75 1.85 a crate.

LIKELY TO BE DISTRIBUTORS WILL SHIP LOGANBERRIES AND PRUNES TO EAST Western Oregon Organization to Make Extensive Campaign for Marketing Products of This Sec tion, Says Malbouef. WHL AXD LOCAL MARKET. Tilt entrance of tno western Oregon Fruit Distributors Into tie soft fruit trade, which will fores shipment of local strawberries, raspberries and lo ganberries Into the eastern markets, will b a direct aid. to the local trade In relieving' the usual glut shown dur ing' the period of flush shipments. Announcement was made today by Charles A. Malbouef, general manager of the : Western Oregon Distributors, that the organization would this sea son enter into the shipments of green prunes and loganberries on an exten sive scale in carload lots to the east and middle west. The organization will likewise, for the first time, extensively engage in the shipments of raspberries. Ar rangements have already been made by the distributors for the handling of the famous Cuthbert raspberry, which is considered the best raspberry in the Pacific northwest and a very good shipper. The distributors made a record on handling strawberries during the last season, obtaining an average of $1.87 a crate for 154 cars, which would have meant $2.60 for old style pack ages. "The Western Oregon Distributors will this year handle fully as much stuff as a year ago," said Mr. Bal bouef this morning. "There are ex cellent ! prospects for the crops in western Oregon and the acreage is somewhat better." At a recent meeting of the "Western Distributors, the amended by-laws of the North Pacific Distributors were ratified; The distributors will enter the present season somewhat stronger tl.an a year ago despite the loss of the Hood River section. The organization this ytfar affected a saving of many thousands of dollars in salaries alone. The president of the distributors must hereafter be a fruit grower and will obtain no salary. of about 44 degrees; northeast to Spo kane, 40 degrees; southeast to Boise, 35 degrees; south to Ashland, 38 de grees.

Cohen, BIG PACKERS TRY TO SECURE 'CORNER' ON LOCAL EGG SUPPLIES Purchase Stock In Country Even Before They Are Received by Shippers- Chinese Egg Is Xot Likely to Be a Burden. Steadier feeling is generally showing in the egg trade locally, and country shippers are receiving generally c better than a week ago. There is to day strong competition for egg sup plies in the country. The big packers are trying to "corner" Bupplies, and are scouring the Willamette valley for them. In the east they have prac tically full control of the egg market, and it begins to look as if similar tactics will be repeated here. Not only are they offering at this time In excess of what the general market Is for eggs, but they are paying for supplies even before the country storekeeper has secured them. ""The 17c f. o. b. market for eggs has disappeared, leaving in its place a market that is fractionally better than 17V4C. The latter is now the general price that buyers are offering in the country for supplies. Notwitnstanding all the talk of poor quality and the unprofitable specula tion1 in cold storage eggs, the demand for storage purposes at this time is the heaviest ever known here, although this fact is not apparent on the sur face. So far as the fresh egg market here is concerned, the feeling is merely steady, with no apparent change in quotations. With the storage inter ests "culling" out their inferior eggs and selling them to the fresh egg trade around 15c a dozen, it is difli cult at the moment for the average dealer to dispose of his holdings of case count at the higher prices justi fied by reason of the advance at coun try points. One thlng'ls seemingly apparent at this time. Chinese eggs will no longer f i rove the big bugaboo as during the ast two years. It has been f.und un profitable for the shipper of oriental eggs to enter the Pacific coast trade. Not only were the losses in transit unusually heavy sometimes running as high as 60 per cent but the re cently enacted laws which compel the trade to brand the foreign stock as such will force a diminished demand. It is probably for that reason that the big packing concerns ar, now so eager to purchase eggs for storage purposes. The flush period has al ready passed and within a short time decreased arrivals will be noted, al though present offerings are ample for regular requirements. September Wheat 3 Cents Up Today At Chicago Closing Chicago, April 19. (I. N. S. "Wheat closed 15i3c higher. With sentiment in the pit bullish, and the buying power strong, wheat prices at the opening today were higher. May wheat opened with an advance of 2 cents, July was up 2i cents and Sep tember opened 2 cents higher. Scattered rains over the belt aided the advance. Later in the trading there was some reaction. The foreign situation is the import ant factor in the trade. Foreigners are making new contracts on this Side and this feature is establishing the course of prices. The Liverpool mar ket was strong today. Corn was c to lc higher at ths outset. The export demand continues to be heavy, and a great Improvement is noted in the shipping.

Z. Smith, a veteran dealer of the Garden City. According, to Mr. Smith, who con firms recent information printed in these columns, the acreage of the Walla Walla section this season was mostly planted during the fall and it is showing very good growth. "We have already had about as much rains in the light land section as we need at this time." says Mr. Smith. "With too much rainfall early the wheat does not root as deeply as is the case when the rainfall is deficient dur ing the early period. "The farmers of tfie Walla Walla country have gone more in the white wheats than during ... recent seasons. The acreage planted to bluestem has decreased primarily because it is a spring wheat and does not produce as much as fall sowing. The foothill sec tion is planting the club as hybrids as usual, while In the Eureka flat coun try there has been more tendency to take the hybrids and! cut out the red wheat. This is due to the fact that the normal demand for white wheat is better than for red. Locally there is a steady , tone shown throughout the grain trade, but little outside bluestem is reported.
