ffi CHANGES IN THE ;
CEREAL MARKETS ARE
SMALL FOR THE VEEK
Yheat Market at Portland Showed
i Onlj Fractional Decline; "Lack
of Can and Reselling by Europe
' Are Factors, in the Trade,
Ths weakening tendency in the grain
trade during the week resulted In an
arly decline in price an the Portland
Merchant..- Exchange, but the net
changes' for the week were nominal. -
The car shortage situation la one or
the acute factors In the trade and the
accumulation of stocks en route-to the
Atlantic coast was a bearish factor in
the trade here. , t . ,. -
Europe, seems determined to beat
jortunlty By one method or another
the trade on the other aide figures that
it wltti be able to secure American
wheat formless money. - One of the
usual tricks that of reselling Ameri
can; purchases at Atlantic seaboard
was tried daring the week. Thia
availed the sellers but little; in fact,
the market after its initial decline.-be-an
to show strength, although fluc
tuations were general during tht entire
week : both here and in the eastern
trade.
Coarse grain markets were mild af
fairs at Pacific northwest points, dur
ing the week. Tliere ra iiuie aomg
in the market' for barley 'because of
the nominal .offerings. Oats market
suffered from the lack of outside de
mand. d to the car shortage and the
congestion of freight traffic. Never
theless the price snowea no cnwigeisr
the week's trade.

New Tork.' Feb. 6.- (I. N. S.) Ths
German situation was the dominant
factor in the stock market today. The
rails were fairly steady with Union
Pacific showing a nice run up to
183, It is thought that J. P. Mor
gan's mission to Burope Is for the
purpose of mobilizing rail stocks and
will mean an end to the foreign liqui
dation, which will relieve them of con
siderable pressure. The general feel
ing in the- market today toward stocks
.and . their . future . trend was . decidedly
mixed. y" . -
Bulls can hardly see any serious
trouble ahead from the German note.
The market yesterday was In a healthy
condition before the : news came, and
it looked today like liquidation bad
run its course on this one " factor un
less new angles of the case are exposed
to view In the future. Week-end sell
ing was in force. Steel advanced to
S3 over yesterday's close at 82.
The coppers were heavily traded and
prices were generally firm in the open
ing. Erie opened at 37; Rock Island
18, and Union Pacific at 132, going
to 133. Steel opened at 82. Stu
debaker opened at 1484 and went to
160. Mexican Petroleum sold up to

The walnut Industry of the Pacific northwest Is steadily Increasing its
volume of production and within the next few years Is expected to show still
runner increase. . --.-
' Oregon has been considered an Ideal spot for-the growing-" of these nuta.
The production is not only liberal per tree but the quality of the stock is said
By experts to te trie Dest n tne enure country ana tnat is saying consiaer
able, because California as the leading walnut producing center of the coun
try grows a very fine nut. . - - "" ,
Notwithstanding the ideal location 'of this state as a producer of fine nuts,
the Industry is really in danger. This Is not because any other section can
produce a superior quality, but because the product ot other sections is sold
as the output of the Beaver state. ;? ;
? Manehnxlan Walnuts old aa Oregon.. , .
Manchurian walnuts have been imported on a Quite liberal scale into the
Pacific coast states during the last two seasons. These form a menace to
the Oregon as well as to the California walnut. The menace la greater in
proportion to the Oregon walnut industry, than to the southern produce be
uim th Manchurian nut in outward appearance resembles to a very con
siderable degree the product of this state.
Naturally In this commercial world there are dealers who would not hesi
tate the slightest moment to Inform the consumer that the Manchurian wal
nut Is the real Oregon article and the purchaser does not find that he has
been -fleeced until he tries to crack the atocki Then he learns that not only
Is the Manchurian walnut not the product of this state, but that It is very
hard shelled and besides thia the flavor Is strong and generally unsuited to
the taste developed by the finer stocjc

The Oregon state legislature as well as similar bodies along the Pacific
coast did much for the poultry industry when they forced importers of
Chinese eggs to market -their prouuet as a joreign arucic oore uua m

leaders of the walnut industry that suitable laws be enacted by the various
states to compel the -marketing of-foreign walnuts for what they are, and
not as , a coast product. It Is proposed as, a protective measure that each
seller of Manchurian or other -foreign walnuts be compelled to display a
suitable placard over the proauct in sucn a. ouuinrr mo muuv. u puiv.iac,

HOGS SHOULD ALW
The low prices received for hogs
during the past year have been dis
couraging to some of the hog raisers
of the country. The hog should be a
paying animal. He requires, less la
bor, less equipment, less capital,
makes greater gain on 100 pounds of
concentrates, reproduces himself fast
er and in. greater numbers, and re
turns the money faster than any other
farm animal. The fact remains, how
ever, that prices paid for hogs are
low and discouraging. In spite of
these prices the animal that., possesses
the above advantages can sjUll iif t
mortgages Tor" his owner If the latter
will study and apply some f the fun
damental principles underlying the
business.
CATCHING OF RABBITS IS MADE EASY
An inexpensive and permanent sewer
tile trap for cottontail rabbits, which
has proved very effective in Kansae,
is described in Farmers' .Bulletin 702,
"Cottontail Rabbits In J Relation to
Trees and Farm Crops." Details of
this trap were supplied by J. M.
Wilmsley, who has used it success
fully on his and other farms in that
state. To make the trap, proceed aa
follows: .
Set a 12 by 6 inch "tee" sewer tile
with the long end downward and bury
it so that the six inch opening at the
side is below the surface of the
ground. Connect two lengths of six
inch sewer pipe horizontally with the
side opening. Second grade or even
ALL FRUIT PACKAGES TO BE MARKED
A recent' service and regulatory an
nouncement of the Bureau of Chem
istry contains the following, which
should be of interest to shippers of
berries peaches, and tomatoes when
ordering their crates for next season s
shipments: . - - , ,
The department is of the opinion
that berries, peaches, or tomatoes in
tmall open - containers which are
packed in crates and arranged within
the crates in layers or tiers, constitute
food in package form within the
meaning of the net-weight amend
ment, and that consequently the law
requires that the crates shall be
marked with a statement of the
qualities of the contents. Each such
statement should include the number
of j small containers and the quantity
of the contents of each.

A"S BE IN SHAPE
To begin with, the best can be
made of a poor market by having the
hogs reaay at tne time wnen tney are
most wanted by that market. This
normally occurs during- the spring and
again during early fall. The Septem
ber and October market is usually the
highest. How can the farmer take
advantage of these facts to the great
est degree? In the first place, the hog
wanted by the market usualy runs
between 175- and 225 pounds. Fortu
nately this is -the most economical
weight at which to dispose of the hog.
Up to this point bis gains are made
very cheaply. Beyond 300 pounds it
is doubtful if under general conditions
feeding can be made a profitable
business.
broken tile will do. Cover the Joints
with soil so as to exclude light. Pro
vide a tight removable cover, such aa
an old harrow disk, for the top of the
large tile. The projecting end of the
small tile is then surrounded with
rocks, brush, or wood, so as to make
the hole look inviting to raoDits ana
encouraee them to freouent the den.
Rabbits, of course, are free to go in
or out of these dens, which should be
constructed in promising spots on
the farm and in the orchard. A
traineH dosr will locate inhabited dens.
The outlet is closed with a disk of
wood on a stake, or the dog guards
the opening. The cover is lifted and
the rabbits captured by hand.
Pending a . determination of the
question whether the net-weight
amendment applies to berries in small
open containers (such as those which
usually hold one quart or one pln
each, and which are commonly placed.
without covers, in crates, eacn crate
holding a number of the small con
tainers); and unless public notice of
not less than two months be given,
the department will not recommend
any proceedings under the Federal
Food and Drugs Act solely upon the
ground that berries in such - small
containers, shipped in Interstate com
merce or otherwise brought within
the jurisdiction of the Food and Drugs
Act, bear no statement of the quantity
of the contents upon each such com
munity. Hill, Line Aiding

A veritable gem is this work, a por
trait of a young man painted on a

bead and part of the chest only are
shown. The name of the panel comes
from, tha fact that the sitter has in his
fingers an arrow, of which the head,

portrait is that of one of the sons of
King Charles the isoio. - xn a portrait
