THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, rORTLAND, WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 101S.
.1ILLERS ARE
EACH MARKET NOW
T
Indications for the Price Are : Far
From Good Curtailing of Can
ning Is Big Item Sugar la Also
a Big Factor.
The trade to expressing little hope for suit
able prices tar peaches tela Mtaoa. With Cal
ifornia points freely -offering fancy Eibertas
-and Crawford at 25$cS6c a bos : f. o. b.
station there sod with a freight rate of about
11c, there is little indicates of profitable
price for the marketing of the northwest
product till jear. v , r-i ; -
While in a limited way the fccel trade Is
till asking; around-75&SSc a box for Call'
: fornla . freestone- peaches, sale at the Usher
price ar not liberal and the balk of the of"
ferings. are at the lower price. Oregon stock
as a rule f showing; values from 60 to 65c a
box for good quality early - varieties, .
The peach mrk.et Is affected In an advene
way .by tbe lack 'of eaunlug operation this
senson. Not only are the 'big canning -com
Sanies - curtailing tbelr .operations toniewhet,
but . Indications-point . to bat small operations
ty housewives,. This last fact is indicated
by the --reports'- of wholesale grocers which
show the smallest rales of fruit jars for mauy
aetsune. Tbto, together with the fact that
- sugar, prices - are .: high and that many con
. aamers are without employment, means
general curtailing of peach requirements. , -
SPRING, CHICKENS.- LOWER
Market for spring chickens and eapectaJly
-mall sixes Is weak with lower prices generally
(noted. - Bulk" of the business is "around lo
.with only occasional salea reported a cent
a bore tthla. ;. Best bens are scarce.
MEATS COME IX POOR SHAPE
Owing, to the, extreme - warm weather yes-
; terdijr. .there were quite liberal receipts of
country kilted-veal and hogs in poor shape.
Receipts- of -sonr staff were besvler than nor
mal and price shading waa the result.
GOOD CASTS ARE SCARCER

1 higher than 12 a box and further- sharp de
clines are daily expeated. Receipts are in
creasing rather freely. Quality la good.

LOIR IN MARKETS
ONION .MARKET
IS GETTING TO
k VERY LOW POINT
With WalU Walla showing Its greatest crop
of onions this season, stocks . are being of .
fered . by Garden City shippers at the lowest
price for many seasons. - - ' . . ,
Onloa prices bere today- were very weak.
While : most . of the wholesalers are asking
$1.25 a cental , because they, still bad on
hand stock that cent them fractionally better
than $1. others were offerlngf'ta fell at the
lower figure. -
Two cars of Walla Walla stdbk arrived en
the t market -today.- In quite good condition
and additional .supplies are -expected at a
further reduction of a nickel tomorrow. . '- .
- Present price of onions at Walla Walla 15
considered so low that the trade La anticipat
ing little further reduction, -la fact, prices
are almost at the - point where shipping will
become unprofitable to producers, wbicb in
turn may cause some to bold, although tbe
early growth from that section Is not of keep

Speculative, Riot :
;In 'War" Stocks i
: Showing No Check
(Ciopyrlght- 1916 by the New York
.,...-' Evening Post,) j v .-.-.
New York, July 21. (U. P.) Tbe riot
of speculation In war stocks continued
unchecked on the stock exchange to
day. It ia not at all an unfamiliar
phenomenon in a market where specu
lative imagination has gone crazy' In
a limited group.
-; The obvious gambling mania was of
tbe blindest character and while large
proportions converged on this single
group, tbe . rest of, the market . wis
therefore more cautious, . There ' waa
no discussion either of the note to Ger
many or the , military situation in
Kurope.
No comment -was occasioned by the
fact that - Republic Steel was - dealt
seven times as extensively as Reading;
American Can fifteen times as exten
sively as Union Pacific and Westing
house Electric twenty times 'more than
St. PauL- -

T yellowing Is a summary of the crop
conditions in Oregon for tbe week end

office of the weather bureau by special
correspondents throughout the state.
-"Showery and cool conditions pre
vailed during- the first four daya of

the state, . During the last half ol the
week warmer sunshiny weather., pre

"During the coot- and showery- spell
considerable hay iff swatha was spoiled
and some that was in shocks wa dam
aged. Most of the hay, however, haa
been well cured "and a fine crop has
been secured. The second crop of al
falfa is now being harvested and it
also is aa good if not better than ex-

"Onaccounr--of the cool and showery
weather during the fore part - of the
week grain matured slowly and very
little if any was harvested. Some of
that which burned so , badly a few
weeks ago -haa headed out and is now
filling nicely. Spring grain la 4 also'

nearly everywhere is in a more prom

growth of . which Twas kept . back by
the preceding cool weather.; Corn is
now : tassellng and it made splendid
progress' during the last half of the
week.

made excellent advancement, and these

GENERAL BUSINESS IS EWS
Antimony is Booming.
Antimony is undergoing a" boom . in
the United States due largeiy to an em
bargo placed on Cookson's, the leading
Kuropean brand of antimony, by Great
Britain. Not satisfied with the Chinese
or Japanese output and unable to ob
tain other .European brands. American
users - have turned to deposits which
have hitherto proved unprofitable. Be
fore the war the best antimony was
quoted on the New York marker at 7
cents a pound. In June Chinese and
Japanese antimony were bringing about
37 cents. SV L. Hess,, expert of the
United States Geological Survey, pre
dicts that the price, will fall back to
normal after tbe war,-but believes that
the present situation .will, be of some
permanent good in that the search for
antimony ores In this country may lead
j to the development of
ore bodies rich and
some mine with
