EUROPEANS MANIPULATING PRICE WHEAT IS FORCED LOWER WHEN CROPS Cereal Price Are Reduced Gener ally Throughout World and Ma nipulation of Foreign Interests r Is Charged Shortage In Crop. ' Wheat market em weaker and lower all over the world during Iho last six days. The weakness wus genera) anil sfinud io be a sort or y mpat hat 10 action. Considering Jim crop condition there should hifve ben a very sharp advance, in the price of wheat ai w orld's . c ent ei -s ilui inir the six days, but Instead of Otto the market every where reflected depi isslon. There Is no doubt tliat the thief cautto of the present weakness In the wheat trade la tne huge supplies now held by l.nglish interests. Reports Xroin Bondon ami Liverpool indicate that stocks are the heaviest known for many ymrs and that warehouse room Is at a premium Owing l the needs of tlie government for sloi -age space for ammunition, fhe. tnt'io cannot jsecuro additional space tor wheat. One of the noticeable features of the trade during the week was th.j insistent cry i lialy tor supplier. It was almi noticeable that despite ail the "hof-air ' recently blown re garding the extreme weakness of the. English trade and the cllorts of the tra.le there to resell some of its hold ings, Italian Interests were unable io purchase, a single cargo in (ireut Brit ain. Tills leaver tne impression iiulte clearly that tlie Kngllsh are trying to depress lhu iimrkei lur the coming season. There Is no denial of the fact thai the ciiiryuver ot wheat Into the 11 ti ll season by the world's tni.lo will be one of the heaviest known, but again it must tie i icemOet cd that the world s crop is going to be one of the smallest known. in comparison wit.i tlie record yields of the i;ilO season, this season s output is going to loon very small. For thai reason there Is not the slightest doubt that every bushel of tlie last season production will be needed to mase up tor the deficiency in the 1916 production. Freight rates are sure to exert a big influence upon the wheat trade of the woiid during the coming sea son. In tact tnere is every Indication that some of the present weakness und dullness in the trading Is due to tlie general expectations oi" shippers and buyers that o can iretghla will show a sharp decline beiore the bulk of the world's crop is ready to move. In fact recently lower rales have been quoted along the Atlantic coast. While this lias not jet been felt along the Pacltic coast, whatever al feels the trade generally will be forced here beiore long. Oats and larley markets . were weaker and lower during the six days trading tor exactly tlie same reason as wheat.

Main St. I RATES ARE BIG FACTOR IN THE MARKET FOR APPLES Cost of Transportation a Big Item in Marketing Pacific Northwest Product lreent liate llased I poo High Price of Years Ago. That freight rates form a very Im portant factor in the making of the apple market has been the opinion ex pressed by some ot the leaueis of the trade and industry for some time. Owing to the long distance that fruit from the i'acilic northwest must trav el before reaching the big markets of tlio cast, where i lie bulk oi the sup piles are sold, shippers of this sei't.oii are at a big disadvantage in competi tion with those of the middle west. In an able article, the Hood ltiver News says: "There has been much of late in Mie Fortiand press about help ing the Iruit industry of the nortn west. One of I lie plans advocated lor helping the fruit business is the col lection of a lund to assist the pio posed cooperative government agency, and also the Oregon slate horticultural authorities in controlling marketing conditions. This idea is admirable, and any real help that can be given in this way will undoubtedly be highly appreciated by the fruit industry, iiut so far in the history of the north west fruit industry this particular character of assistance has proven largely theoretical. What the fruit In dustry oi the northwest needs is help of an Intensely practical nature. The greatest help that can be given this in dustry, and more particularly the ap ple producing branch of it, is a trans portation rale that will enable it to compete on more even terms with ap ple growing districts nearer the great centers of population. It may be ti ue that the present rate on northwest ap I l is neither unjust or discrimina lory. when figured out on tlie long and short haul method, but it is also true that the. I'acific coast fruit haul is the most profitable that the railroads hin dle, and continues to be the most prof itable, whether the price of fruit is high or low, the rale having been es tablished when apples were selling for ti or belter a box. "Transportation rates also figure in the higher production cost of north west fruit. Implements, vehicles, fpray materials and other necessities to the fruitgrower are all higher on account of the long haul freight charges than they are in the compet ing eastern fruit districts, which are more adjacent to the centers of manu facture. . aiding to this the higher la bor cost on the I'acific coast, it will easily be seen why western box apples reach the centers of consumption with a big handicap. That the western box apple has, for a number of years sold nt a higher nrlce than the best eastern fruit, rtesoite this handicap, proves its superiority. Hut. no matter how su perior It may be, it cannot stand too great a differential in rates. Kach succeeding year is bringing with it 'loser competition in the fruit busi ness. Western methods of cultivation, spraying and packing are being adopt ed in other districts, with a corre sponding increase in ouality and pack, while the old cheap rates for transpor tation remain the same in the district nearer the big markets." Bearish Condition Sends Wheat to The Lowest Level Chicago. Juno 17. The cumulative factors which have caused the recent decline In vulues were not tempered lw the receipt of any news of bullish import, with the result that their de pressing effect continued to be felt hv market values. Oenerally favor able weather conditions for the har vesting of the new winter crop where the same is under way, lack of cash and export demand and the continu ation of weakness in freights, ail made for further heavy liquidation with the result thit prices sold at the lowest point during the present crop vear. While formerly a reduction In freight rates was considered a bullish fac tor, such Is not the case at present for the reason that lowering of freight quotations means the filling of the European demand by America's competitors. It Is thought by well posted cash handlers that the sales of corn to arrive yesterday will not be expanded on the recessions aAd that for the Immediate future the question of an enlargement of the movement will de pid upon the willingness of buyers to nay the producer 70 cents In the territory contlnguous. to Chicago. This situation would probably not prevail if the growing crop were up to date, but generally speakin? throutch the. central part of the belt the wet and cold weather has made the growing plant two or three weeks behind Its average f.rowth for this season. The future course of values In this com modity -'111 depend this year to a greater extent than usual upon cli matic conditions between now and au tumn. A period of hot, forcing weather would bring the cron forward rapidlv ard inasmuch as the summer months are usually accompanied by heat, an Improvement In the crop out look is to be exnected, with a gradual lowering of ouoted values. The magnificent crop outlook still dominates the oats situation and over shadows the fact that there la a steady and good cash demand for domestic and export account. Notwithstanding ' a decline of Is; cents in hog prospects, products met strong support on the earlv decline and closed at the best prices of the day.

Harris & Co. that bar reled apples grown in New Kngland will be sold at auction iu Boston this coming fall. Different from the prac tice in New York, the barreled apples of New Kngland wilB not be solicited for the auction by the state but by in dependent shippers. Boston has one of the oldest fruit auction houses in the United States in the firm of H. Harris & Co. Horatio Harris, founder of the partnership, sold ship loads of fruit and merchandise at auction back at the time of the Civil war. The business has remained in branches of the family ever since.

'., FREEH SOUTHERN OREGON SHEEP MOVING TO MARKET I f'l'Vi Vs;Mr i These sheep were raised on stockyards Wheat Crop Conditions Are Now Showing Quite Fair Improvement By Hyman H. Cohen. Crop conditions are Improving somewhat in the wheat sections, latest advices received from special crop correspondents of The Journal Indicate that weather conditions are ideal ano there are general expectations for improve ment In the condition of the crops. The yellow spots are beginning to disappear from the fields of the leading wheat sections, and, as th ground is well supplied with moisture, the outlook is more hopeful. Apple crop conditions arc unchanged. The crop of Winesaps is likely to be tlie smallest lor u number of years, but other varieties are expected to show an average production. Cherries are dropping very fast in some sections, and the general outlook Is for a smaller crop than lat.t season, taking the entire Pacific northwest together. ... . . The crop of prunes in the illamette valley is now expected to be one of the greatest for many years. This is in Clarke county, Washington, the prune crop is spotted, but the average reoorteii favorable. Idaho reports continue disturbing. Potatoes are showing the best growth in years. The early planting is far advanced that it is now possible to Hop ington. districis report crop conditions Frost Gets Tomatoes. A frost on Saturday morning. June 10. nipped a large portion of the to mato acreage conti acted for by the Rogue River Valiev Canning company. It is not yet too late to replant, and the cannery has secured about 10,000 fine plants from Spokane. Wool Sales High. The liakcr Herald says that Sam Carter of Long creek haj sold his wool to Ed Woodall. contracting the fine wool for 23 cents a pound ana the coarse wool for 25 cents. This is trie best price paid here for wool in several years. Umatilla Wheat Better. Wheat prospects are looking better in the Milton-FYeewater part of the country than at any time so far this year, but are far from being of normal appearance, and the grain stands not over 20 to 20 inches high on an aver age, and much of it is heading out, although less than two feet high. Cold Injured Trees. The warm weather in February, fol lowed by cold weather in March, has caused many pear and apple trees in the upper Willamette valley to appear dead, according to County Fruit In spector C. K. Stewart. In February tne comparatively high temperature caused the sap to start flowing, and the subsequent cold weather froze it, injuring the trees so that they have not grown leaves this spring. Most of the trees thus affected will revive next spring, says Mr. Stewart. South ern Oregon orchards have sufefred worse than those about Eugene. Cutting Alfalfa Crop. This has been a busy week for every farmer with alfalfa in the Hermiston country. Reports and opinion as to yield vary greatly. Some say the first crop is short while others contend the weight will be very near normal. Some reports of two tons per acre have been received. The quality is good. Xew Oregon Potatoes. Archie Philip of Sumner, on Coos Bay. is busy these days digging five acres of spuds and shipping them to market. He has purchased a lot of boxes and is sending out an average of.'o0 boxes a day. The potatoes are the finest potatoes that can be had. They are grown on upland ground and are rich and mellow. Start Hay Harvest. A Mt. Vernon mail advice says that many of the farmers along the John Day river started cutting their first crop of hay today. Owing to the cold weather there will probably be a short age this year in the first cutting. South America Is Demanding a Greater Supply of Foreign Potatoes South America as a market for Ore gon potatoes is thus viewed by Charles J. Pisar, United States consul at Buenos Aires, who writes under date of April 11: During the last four years there has been a continuous increase In the Im portation of potatoes into Argentina, although aside from those coming from France, the source of supply has been irregular. The annual consumption of potatoes in Argentina amounts approximately to 55.000 tons, or a little over 150 tons per day. The annual domestic produc tion in normal times does not exceed 50.000 tons, so about 5000 tons must come from abroad. Besides this, Ar gentina imports practically all the po- Itatoes destined for seed purposes, most of which have been coining irom France. During the season of 1913-14 and 1914-15, the domestic potato crop was poor, especially during the latter sea son, and consequently large consign ments for consumption purposes had to be sought abroad. All the potatoes imported into Argentina, whether des tined for seed or for consumption pur poses, are brought into the country un der the custom classification of "Po tatoes for Seeds," on which there is no duty. With the large demand for potatoes in 1915, important shipments came from the United States and from Spain, al though both these countries had never before figured prominently as export ers of potatoes to Argentina. The potato for seed purposes most in demand here Is the "Early Rose." It is popular, and it seems that the Argentine grower will have nothing else. Seed potatoes should weigh about 24 ounces each. The annual require ments for seed potatoes are about 6000 to 7000 tons. They must be ready for shipment so as to arrive in this country during the months of August, September and October. Potatoes' for consumption should weigh not less than 3 ounces each, and not over 5 ounces, or approxi mately 10 potatoes to the kilo (2.2 pounds). The white potato is more in demand for consumption purposes than the Early Rose. All potatoes intended for shipment to Argentina must be packed in light airy crates of 30 and 60 kilos (68 and 110 pounds, respectively), capacity, and in barrels of 7 kilos (167 pounds.) The smaller sized crate containing 30 farms near Oakland and awaiting shipment. are in the especially true ot tne souinern sections is so figure upon a good growth. as favorable In Oregon and WasJi- Beets Doing Well. That the several hundred acres of beets planted in Sutherlin valb-y are doing fine is the Statement of Samuel Storey, expert ror the Oregon-Ltah Sugar company, who is now on the job of directing the work in the fields. Prune Outlook Good. Around Forest Grove the outlook for prunes is very good. Henry Jjavid has one of the best prospects lor a heavy yield of prunes kjiown in years. His fine 26-acre orchard is in splendid con dition and the outiook for a bumper crop was never better. Crop Looking Better. W. A. Johnston and Ernest Wilier ton of The Dalles motored to Antelope and say the crops are looking bet ter in that district. However, the dry, cold weather has left the grain In a spotted condition. Sheep Commit Suicide. Dan Wilson, whose ranch Is near Coqullle, says that after getting a new batch of lambs this spring he has only 60 head of sheep where iie had 70 last fall. During the inclement weather last winter when there was snow on the ground the yearlings, al though well sheltered and provided with plenty of food, absolutely refused to eat hay and died for the want of the green herbage that usually can be found all winter in this section. Xew Fruit Dryer. Dr. E. V. Hoover of Roseburg is making arrangements to erect a modern prune drier on his ranch, a short dis tance south of that city. The drier will have a daily capacity of 300 bushels of prunes and will be up-to-date in every particular. Dr. Hoover has a drier on his ranch at the present time, but on account of the unusually heavy prune crop this year he decided that a second plant would be necessary to handle the yield. Within the next year or so Dr. Hoover will also have another orchard of about 20 acres coming into bearing. Trucks Haul Hogs. Several truck loads of live hogs have been taken from Scholls direct to the stock yards In Portland. This plan of marketing seems to be favored by the farmers, who realize as much for "their product as formerly and save the ex pense of butchering. Rowell Brothers' truck is used to make "the trips. Imbler Fruit Damage Small. Imbler orchard owners are using the time between blossom and fruit time to do their spraying. So far the frost has done very little damage to the apple crop. kilos are the most popular, and are quite often built with a center parti tion. These crates should be so con structed as to permit of a free circu lation of air between the slats, al though at the same time providing a strong container for the potatoes. To give the crates more resistance, they should be bound on the outside edges and also in tlie center with a narrow strip of chestnut bark or iron bands. All prices should be quoted per crate, and not per pound or bushel. The weights should be given in the metric system. An executive decree of Argentina, dated May 29, 1913, provides that every shipment of foreign potatoes shall be accompanied by certificates, one of sanitary origin ( sanldad-origen ). at testing the healthful condition of the soil in which the potatoes were grown, and the other a certificate of the soundness or wholesome condition of the potatoes under consideration. These certificates must be issued by government experts In the country of origin, and vlseed by an Argentine consul. Coos Bay Sends in Wild Blackberries Strawberries and blackberries weeks ahead of the rest of the Pacific north west states is the record of the Coo-s Bay country. J. R. Rand of Cooston. has sent The Journal a mixed crate of strawberries and wild blackberries no finer fruit being produced any where. The wild blackberries were the first seen here this season but they are said to be abundant in the Coos Bav country. When regular train express service is given that section, Port land will secure lruits earlier than any other section of the northwes' has been able to produce. Three years ago Mr. Rand homesteaded 40 acres on the Wlll anche slough. His place is now largely under cultivation. His crop of strawberries were ripe in April. This year owing to lack of markets he did not ship any. But next year be Is planning on having berries on the Portland markets. These are the first wild backberries of the sea son. V -X .

Boston buyers are operating steadily in the west though growers have refused many offers Little pros pect of removal of the British embargo on shipments of wool here, together with tlie fact that England is to buy all the Knglish and Irish clip of 1916 makes the position of American grow ers still stronger. The minimum clean landed cost here of the 1916 fine staple and half blood woofs from the west appears to be 80c. It Is a poor fine or fine medium clip that will not cost 72c to 75c. At the Caldwell sale 6o0 000 pounds were of fered this week ar.d only one half sold,, bids of the remainder being rejected as too low. Some Texas wool is being bought at 25c to 28c. Sales of new wool here include lots of Wyoming and Utah in original bags at 27c to 3oc, some Soutii Americans have brought from 40c to 45c. Receipts during the week were 3, 925.516 pounds domestic and 3,824,420 pounds foreign. Angels Seek Infielder. Ios Angeles. June 17. P. N. S.)

Market for hogs here was under In fluence of tlie very heavy supplies now being marketed. Seemingly the flood gate of swine offerings has been knocked aside and very free movement to market shown. The market in the, northwest Iihs been much weaker than elsewhere in the. country for the reason that busi ness conditions are not as good, l'ntil labor is more generally employed the consumptive demand for pi.rk and pork products Is not likely to te heavy in this section.

With California flooding the entire coast cattle markets with supplies and the volume of southern stuff being marketed here the greatest known, the price of cattle naturally was on a downward scale during the week at North Portland. Sharply lower prices resulted for the California offerings but the greatc-t depression was in north wt-st stock, which was not generally of as firm quality as the southern offerings. Just when the California run will let up is a matter that even the lead ers of the trade ate unable to state. Tlie absence of sufficient feed in I lie south is t he factor that is forcing the marketing of the bulk of the cattle from that section. When this run stops there will in all probability be a strengthening of the position of the trade and price. General cattle market range Choice grass steers.

And Wheat Grows Walla Walla. Wash.. June 17. Fol lowing the cola, backward spring, dur ing which the wheat in this section made a comparatively poor growth, the past week has come as a redeem ing period during which both fall and spring-sown wheat recovered rapidly and has made a good growth. While no rain has fallen since the first of the month, it is said the crops are not suffering for lack of moisture, owing to the large amount of water in the found. Farmers would welcome a rain at this time, however, believing 1e w ould materially hasten the development of growing grain. Reports received here from all parts of the valley are that the yellow spots have nearlv disappeared and the wheat has taken on a healthy verdant color. In some localities the fall wheat is heading nicely, and while the average field is not up to the standard of last vear in point of stoollng, the outlook is far from discouraging. Continued favorable weather, it Is said, will bring the spring wheat through in good condition. Weed nests have appeared in some parts of the valley, probably because ,.,,),. M natarit nt twtvorAl varftlt seems to have gained a foothold, and in some of the smaller rields adja cent to this city the growers found It necessary to cut their fields in order to stamp out tlie foreign growth In some instances it was possible to cut the weeds without damaging the main crop, because of the fact that the former had gained full growth, where as the wheat was far from maturity.

There is still a decreasing tendency lioivn in the number of new oiders being placed in eastern manufactur ing and marketing centers, but it is of no special Importance at this time as the general run of reports are that most factories are filled up with or ders. Those who are in position to dp so ate trying to prevent any spe cial break in prics. Deliveries ate being maintained at a high rate. The lowering of ocean freight rates is an other faclor of general importance. It has also special significance lor this roast.
