Cohen NEW BED ONIONS ? nnwiF HFRF " UUIIIL. IIL.IIU A LOWER TO SOON AT QUOTATION First Offerings From California Due in Portland Next "Week Pale Likely to He Made at $3 Back Increased Local Acreage. Flrgt new fmn red onions of the season are due to arrive In the lwal market from Cali fornia early In tlKS coming week. The first car was pnrrhasea ly the loral trade yesterday. snd will be shinned at once. It 1 said to he of good quality for tlie Initial showing, as sale are expected to be around $.1 per aack. The trade liere Is well supplied with new crop Bermuda style on long at this time. Pa lea In general art being made around $2.50?t 2.75 for the hi tter California offering; per crate. . Purine the laat few days there has been ihucU oetlvlty among onion grower of tbla sec tlon, and the plant ln(t now aald to be we what alKrre that of n year ago.

Soil and cli matic condition are good fur the planting at this time. SUGAR MARKET WEAK AND MAY GO LOWER ALONG PACIFIC COAST Seemingly There Was No Excuse at All for Previous Advances Raw Weakens and Drops in the East; Likely to Affect Locally. POTATOES SELLING IN THE EAST AT ES: RECORD PRIG MORE SOUGH T Kansas City Reports Sale of Ore gon Spnds There at $3 Bushel Only About 16 Cars Left in All Hands for This Market. VEALS COXTIXTE VERY SLOW With rof-ord receipt of country killed caWes along the street during the lapt few day, and with the retail trade stocked up, the trend of the market continues weak at the recent reduction. COUNTRY HOGS ARE FIRM Market for country killed hoga retains a firm tone generally along Urn wholesale way, with sales general at lB'tilO'fce a pound for No. 1 quality offerings. Receipts are moderate. Very weak tone Is showing in the market for sugar ail over the country, with the eastern tr;ide again showing a decline. for the last 24 hours. With raws weaker and Tower In the east this will have a direct bearing upon the local situation. Wholesale traday In general Is anticipating a further reduction in the price of sugar along the coast. It Is stated that the California re fineries are about caught up with their back ordprs for sugar, and if this Is really so, and with the absence of further speculation in the trade nil over the country, only lower prices re expected. At thin time it begins to look as if there was really no excuse at all for the former advances In the price of sugar. With the American crop of beet far above the normal, and with the cane production in leading centers the greatest on record, it appears as If there was little ground upon which to base the previous ad vances. , EGGS STRONG HUT UNCHANGED . Egg market continues to show a strengthen ing tone locally, but no price change was lndi rsted Tor the day. While northern markets are higher thau I'ortiand. they are doing very little buy leg here at present.

Spring Oats Look Good in Valley; Rains Still Retard W. C. Wllkes, assistant general freight and pafcsenger agent of the Spokane, Portland ft beanie railway, has the following from Waldo G. I"alne. traffic manager. Spokane & Inland Lmplre railroad. Spokane: "Crop conditions along the Spokane. Port land ft Seattle favorable, considering lateness of season. Farmers all optimistic and think with favorable weather conditions will harvest good crop. Grain dealers at Walla Walla are hot so optimistic regarding grain conditions. Too early as yet to forecast outcome as the spring wheat Is a month late. One Inch of rain at Washtucna Saturday night. Seeding alKHit completed at Kenge. Good rains and general conditions good at Kahlotus." W. P. Powers, traveling freight and pas- Bfnrer agent, Oregon Electric railway: "It has rslned practically every day during t'n past week in the Willamette Taller, which has retarded plowing aud planting. Some farmers are niudulng their grain in but others are hopeful , that weather will clear up suf ficiently to enable sowing not later than Juno 1. Many valley farmers advise they have'had fine yields of oats planted at late aa June 10 without rain up to harvest, and ac count of great demand for grain they will take a chance on sorting all grata as late aa prac tice ble. "Spring oats are looking fine, the blades being wide and strong, and fall grain gener ally looks good. Inclement weather boa caused reduction lu onion acreage. Onions In valley must have some growth before weeds get started. Indlcatlona are fruit crop will be larcest In rears iecludinr fruit and berries of all kinds. The rain and shortage of labor make outlook discouraging, but farmer real ize Importance of large crop on account of the war and are doing everything possible to get acreage plowed and planted. STEADY TONE IN COTTON WITH SMALL EARLY' GRAIN A real potato famine Is staring the local trade in the face and the famine is due with in a much snorter period than the general trudV- had anticipated. - A survey of the situation by The Journal Indicates that counting even the small scat tered lots there are less than 16 carloads of potatoes remaining available for tbla mar ket throughout the entire state. Some of these will not reach the local carket because the demand from the esat Is dally increasing and further sales are re ported there from day to day. A wire received from Kaneaa City during the day by a leading local shipper reported the sale of a carload of potatoes he had shipped to that market, at $3 per bushel. This Is far ahead of sny price heretofore received for Oregon stock In any of tbe eastern markets during any season. Not only has the sale been made at record flgnnpa but Kansas City. Omaha and Chicago are asking for additional supplies. A lesdlng Chicago operator who was a very liberal buyer In this territory during the season Is said to retain only about seven cars here to go forward. It develops that Japanese growers of the Grtsham section still have two carloads of potatoes unsold but these are being held for higher prices. A Rcappoose grower, formerly a "beef trust" buster here. Is said to have about eight car loads of potatoes which be la holding for a very atiff advance. SPRING LAMBS DOWN TO $13 FOR TOPS IN N.

SlilOQ because of its vigorous advance, selling at 60, XataAslv Methods Becasaary. it is evident that the government, to suc cessfully conclude flotation of the Lib erty Loan, will soon have to resort to intensive met nods of letting the pub lic know. The bond subscriptions In Portland this week have reached their lowest ebb and a canvass Wednesday Indicated that not more than $10,000 of the certificates had been asked for by the buying public In the past three days. The ordinary men of the street are not com Ins into the banks as ex pected, and this week's decline can be accounted for in the fact that the large investors, per soon naturally expected to contribute to the loan, have "done their bit," while the smaller fellows .have not yet begun. It raust.be re membered that the major loan has not been half subscribed : yet, and It Is likely that the persons of small means will have to stand the brunt of the bal ance. Hasy Farm X.oaa Applicants. The farm loan bank of the Twelfth district, located at Spokane, is now in touch with about COO farm loan associations throughout the four states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana, ac cording to A. W. Cauthorn. of PorfcH land, one of th..- directors. Prospective loans to these association members indicate that eventually about ' $20. 000,0t)0 will be placed with the agri culturalists of the four states. This does not mean, however, that the en tire lot will be unloaded this summer or within tho year. Ths. farm loans will be small in figures, snd the gross sum mentioned means a huge amount of property appraisal and investiga tion. Twelve appraisers are in the field now, and Turner Oliver, formerly of La Grande, who has been appointed registrar, is busily engaged in check ing the abstracts on property for which loan applications have bean ; made.
