WEAK AND
LOWERED
Potato Trade Is a
Very Slow Affair
.With Supply Heavy
Front Street's Wants Are Over,
supplied Alaska Business Is
To6 Nominal to Quote.
Market for potatoes is really very alow
alon Front street. General purchases of No.
1 shipping stock from farmers is around GO
(S3 He a cental.
Farmers are rather ioclined to sell a few
wagon loads at a time jttat now to set ready
cub, and these offering are overloading tbe
limtted local demand.
The small order received from Alaska was
not bit; enough to co:. shier as a market factor,
aud could easily be filled in a single day it
the holders cared to.
Such fancy quality potatoes btvc not bees
along the street for many years. The mo
ment that the outside trade Is In a posi
tion to take care of offeriues from this sec-i
tlou and sauinleg to in that direction no
trouble is expected tl.ls season regarding
quality.
Some inquiries are being received from tbe
southwest, but no sales are as yet confirmed
by local shipping Interests.
Chicago Wheat Has
Another Good Rise
Chicago. 111., Aug. 12 I. N. 8.) Wbeat
tlosed lc up for September. He for Decem
ber, and 4e lower for May.
Strong cabbie and the acute cMh situation
caused a higher opening In tbe grain market
today.
Wheat opened Vi to 4e higher1: corn stiirt
id. with nn Advance of 4c- to c and oat
was to ;,c up at the cutset. Buying was
general in tue early trading.
Tbe question confronting tbe trade at pres
ent is not bow much, grain has been raised,
but how much Is available for filling sale
for shipment, this month and for delivery on
September contracts.
That an acute situation exists U generally
agreed. One of the leading exporters de
clared that tbe end of this week will see tbe
end of tension in tbe cash article and a drop
la cali premiums.
In tbe later trading tbere was a drop In
wheat valaes. Prices fell below last night's
closing. Corn was firm early. The firm tone
was borrowed entirely from wheat. Oats
at led with corn. I'roviflons were weak.

FISH SHIPPING TO
SHOW IMPROVEMENT
IN LOCAL MARKETS
Salmon and Halibut to Go Forward
From Here in Greater Supply
After Runs Become Better; East
Is Now Buying.
A good start Is being made to make Port
land a wholesaW? fish snipping center. While
only about a carload a week is at present
going forward from this city to the east,,
expectations are for a big increase In the
movement next season.'
Naturally It taken time to develop eastern
trade connections In the flab market. Up to
thla time Puget sound bas had a strangle
hold on the entire eastern trade so far as
halibut shipments are concerned. Then, too,
the Columbia, -with the greatest quality sal
mon In tbe world, has scarcely been a factor
in tbe eastern fresh salmon trade.
This condition Is changing. "We are ship
ping only about a carload of aalmon and
halibut week to the east at this time," says
J. R. -Burke, a local shipper, "but with fish
more plentiful we expect to Increase the busi
ness. Halibut la not only scarce off the Ore
gon coast, but is inteuBely scarce on Puget
sound. Tbere waa no halibut to be bad at all
In the Seattle market yesterday.
"We expect the Decorah in from tbe Ore
gon coast about next Wednesday, but at this
time are securing only limited supplies by
rail from Newport."
KENNEWICK MOVING FRUIT
Kennewlck, Wash., Aug. 12. Elberta
peaches have begun to move. The Fruit Ex
change shipped the first straight car lot yts
terday. Preparations have been made by the
fruit agencies to handle tbe largest crop of
Elbertaa ever produced In this section. Tbe
prices are at this early date under normal.
The Jop of early peaches was unual!y large
tbls'year, and tbe markets have been crowded.
It is thought tbat when tbe eariy varieties
are off tbe market tbe price of Elbertaa will
rise.
Bartlett pears hate continued to come in
longer tban was expected. Several of the
fruit concerns are still packing.
Moores and Campbell's early grapes are
arriving In several hundred crate lots each
day and will soon be moving In car lots.
Watermelons and cantaloupes are also ripen
ing fast. Tbe acreage of cantaloupes in this
section this year is much smaller tban last
but tbe product Is of exceptional quality
this year, and tbe growers expect "top prices. I
More Elberta peaches are produced at Ktune-T
wick than any otner variety or iruit.
SAY APPLE SALE A FAKE
Hood River. Or., Aug. 12. The "tooted"
sale of lOO.OOO boxes of Hood River apples
to O. Berghuis-Krak. consul to the Nether-
lands for Oregon, eontalned in a Hood River
dispatch and appearing in a morning paper-
Oregonian tbe latter part of the week, was
a pipe dream and made out of whole cloth.
Manager Stone of the Apple Growers' asso
ciation and tbe officers of the Fruit Growers'
exchange state that the story is untrue. No
rales of Hood River fruit have been made
this season so far from the apple stock. The
lutein shipping concerns are holding firm and
will demand the -best prices for the fruit con
sistent with crop conditions elsewhere.
Stock Market Has
An Irregular Tone
(Copyright. 1915. by the New York
Evening Post.)
New York. Aug. 12. (U. P.) The
stock market fluctuated irregularly t,o
day and at times there was a good deal
of unsettlement and weakness in some
quarters. Trading was leas active and
except for sharp bidding up of spe
cialties, some of which advanced vio
lently on the circulation of rumors of
large disbursements, there was noth
ing Interesting in the speculation of
the day.
Sentiment was mixed and it was evi
dent that the "war stocks" as a class
have lost some of their popularity
since the new high marks were estab
lished. The market as a whole was largely
professional, reflecting a sort of pool
manipulation often seen at this stage
of a speculative campaign, chiefly
through the erase in "war stocks." The
last hour was quiet with interest con
fined to industrials. Some railroads
were weak but there was no heavy
selling.

While no new prices have thus far been
named for 1P13 crop wheat flour, indications
point to a smaller uecllne from old crop tban
normal. On the basis' of present market for
wheat, old flour is really firm at $5.50Q
5.00 per barrel . for patent. Indications point
to opening values on new crop patent around
$5.20, but naturally much depends upon the
immediate future of wheat values.
There Is much more tendency on tnes"part
of the trade to talk flour these days, and all
millers report an Improved situation in tbe
home territory.
While there continues more or less talk re
garding sales of flour to Europe, nothing has
yet been confirmed in this matter.'

chases are reported at $26.50627 a ton, Port

JITNEYS WANT CITY
TO MAKE
Complaint Is Made Congested
Corners Blocked Although
Law Prohibits. Standing,
As result of complaints that peanut
and popcorn vendors are violating the
traffic and license ordinances by stand
ing longer than perrrtitted on the down
town corners. It is probable that a
number of arrests will be mad. Let
ters calling the attention of the police
to violations' are befhg sent by "Will
H. Daly, commissioner of public utili
ties, to the mayor,
Tlie ordinance regulating the peanut
and popcorn vendors prohibits them
from standing In one spot for more
than 10 minutes in any two hour pe
riod of the day. It Is said, however,
that few of the vendors' recognize this
rule and as result cause considerable
congestion at the busy Intersections
A delegation of Jitney owners ap
peared before Commissioners Daly and
Bige'low this morning asking that im
mediate action be taken. They con
tended that the popcorn men with their
wagons filled the space between the
streetcar tracks and the curb at sev
eral of the main intersections and mad
it almost impossible for the jitneys to
pass or pick up passengers from tfie
corners.
Want Smaller Zone. 11
" As the city council refused t'o
amend the building code to allow the
erection of slow burning mill con
structed buildings within the Inner
fire zone, members of the Builders'
Exchange want the fire zone made
smaller that a. large amount of prop
erty valued too low to erect ex
pensive fire ' proof buildings on can
be left outside where the restrictions
are less, severe. A conference of the
builders was held with the city com
mission yesterday afternoon but no
definite action was taken.

tion of the first of a series of comfort

This station is to be located probably
on lower Washington street. The esti
mated cost is $6000 for the fixtures.
The space used will be rented.
Analysing St. Johns Water,
Although the water supplied St.
Johns by the St. Johns Water com -pany
has been -analyzed before ' and
found to be pure it is again being

tion in the minds of St. Johns' resi
dents. . Samples of the water were
secured by Health Officer Marcellus
and are being analyzed today.

GENERAL BUSINESS NEWS
Wool In Good Demand.
Kastern financial and trade papers
express the opinion that the price of
wool will be higher as the fall demand
for ihe product materializes. The
president ol one-of the largest woolen
manufacturing companies of the coun
try is quoted as having said -that the
last months of the year will show a.
record output from his mills. Many
of the mills already have orders to
make, the surplus stock of uniform
cloth, blankets,. etc, which Great Brit
ain cannot supply, and with every one
of the warring nations preparing for
a winter campaign it is said means a
continuous demand for wool in" spite
of the fact that cotton fleeced goodsj
will be used wherever practical. On
top of this is a fair demand for various
cloths for consumption at home, an
order which under ordinary' circum
stance foots' up to the total of about
600,000,009 yards, not including tho
usual importations from abroad which
will be sub-normal this year.
Would Extend Trade.
A determined campaign is beting con
ducted by the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce to interest Ameri
can manufacturers of machinery and
machine tools In placing exhibits of
their products in the National Indus
trial school at -Buenos Aires, Argen
tina. Jf A. Massel, special agent of
the .department of commerce, who re
cently returned from an investigation
into the machinery and machine tool
trade in South America, is now touring
the country on instructions of the
department to interest manufacturers
in the exhibit plans.
lassel reported to Secretary of
Commerce Hedfield and Dr. B. E.
Pratt, chief of the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, that it is very
desirable in the interest of an enlarged
American machinery trade in Argen
tina that manufacturers In the United
States send working, models of their
products to this school. Both the sec
retary and Dr. Pratt warmly indorsed
