Newspaper Page TextTHE OREGON DAILY ; JOURNAL, PO RTLAND, THURSDAY, JUNE 21. 4 1917. 19 SERIOUS LOSSES ARE SHOWN IN THE NORTHWEST FRUIT CROP Edited by HjrnM H. Cohen STRAWBERRY PRICE OWERED IS AGAIN Li STOCKS ARE BETTER Supplies In Greater Supply Reach Front Street and the Farmers' Market Sales From $1.23 to $2 Per Crate Dating the Day. The market for trawberriei waa again weak and generally lower both In the Front atreet trade and oa tl.s East Side farmers' market. First sales of Clarks were shown on the Farmers' market at S1.WXS2.00 per crate, while tbe last transactions were sround SI. SO. A few sales of ordinary quality were reiorted there at 1.25. . Along Front atreet Tallies are generally ruling from 1.75 to $1A5 for top berries, al though some ssles are shown down to SI. 50 for ordinary quality, with a, fractional rolume of business a high as $2 per crate. Local growers are shipping rather liberally to the home market, and this, with rather free arrivals from Willamette valley points. Is keep ing the trade Weil siiipl!eU. Demand Is good, and Is getting better, al though the temlency of values is downward. The fact that canning Interests are taking hold at Columbia river sections at prevailing prices, iuill'-atc that the trade does not ex pect berries to reach the normal low figures. Potatoes Move to Market by Express That all Is unusual In the potato trade during the season has been the opinion of the local trade recently. A few days ago Dryer. Bollam & Co., received a liberal supply of po- tatoes by express from Spring- brook. This is very unusual, in fact the express rate-was al- most as much as potatoes sell at country points during some- low-priced seasons. Eastern Market Is Taking Canned Fish At Extreme Prices Chicago and New York Are Fairly Liberal Buyers Run Only Slightly Improved. SEVERE CUTTING OF ESTIMATES ON FRUIT CROP-IS BEING MADE DALLES CHERRIES ARRIVE iohn Kllndt of The Dalles has the honor of sending the first cherries from that section to the local market this seawn. Arrivals of northwest stock up to this time have been of indifferent quality. ARE LOWER being named for GOOSEBERRIES Sharply lower prices are gooseberries In the local trade, tilth a fair In creuse In offerings. Sales were shown al'ing the street during the day at 3'jc for small lots and 3c for greater supplies. Almost Without Exception the Out put Is Expected to Be Smaller General Shortage About 50 Per Cent in the Northwest. Lady Apple Crop Is Going to Be Small Mark Levy, the commission man and a farmer too has been known all over the coun- try for year as the Lady ap- pie man of Oregon. He makes a specialty of growing as well as selling this fruit, lie says that this year the indications are that there will not be suf- Sr ricient loay apples to count, in 4. fact he reports all fruit crops in the Milwaukle section as small. . Chicago, New York and other leading eastern markets are purchasing fair supplies of sew peck Columbia river salmon at this time but there la no business available in tLe southern markets, the trade there being of the opin ion that prices are too high. Current sales of new pack Columbia chl iok re confirmed at J1.T5 for halves, 1 2. SO for pound tails and S2.8o for pound flats. The pries obtained for pound fiats : 5c a dozen more than initial sales of the season and indicates that the big market centers are still fmJslii'd for supplies. There Is a slightly improved catch reported from the lower Columbia although the volume is still comparatively light, according to Rob ert 8. Fan-ell of Kverdlng & Farrell, owners of ths Pillar Ilock Packing company. No official price haa yet been named for Co lumbia river tlsb and there Is atlll some doubt to whether formal figures will be an nounced. Uore serious losses than bad been antici pated even a few daya ago by growers snd the trade are shown in the trait crop pros pects in Oregon and Washington, according to special reports received by The Journal. Tak ing the fruit rro; as a whole It Is doubtful If more than a CO per cent output will be shown this season, and some of the leading growers and dealers are inclined to believe that the crops In general will not be more than a third of the norma 1. The ahortage in the cherry crop is already apparent. In the Willamette valley the out look is for not more than a third normal crop. Pears will be extremely- short, compared with earlier estimates of a bumper production. Apples are dropping so fast at all Pacific northwest centers that crop estimates axe being generally reduced. But little more than a half normal crop need be expected from leading centers. Peach crop will also show a loss, bat last season the output was auto very small. The strawberry prospects are for leaa than a half crop in the northwest generally, with some of the leading shipping districts already through tlielr movemeut. HKckberries and loganberries sre expected to produce at least the normal crop. I Tunc crop estimates uie again being re duced, but !t will be some time before definite estimates will be available. CANTALOUPES Fractionally lower ARE CHEAPER prices are being named for cantaloupes here, with increased offerings from the south. Hales of standards at $0, with ponies at S3 generally. Quality is improving dally. VEAL MARKET IS ERRATIC Very erratic tone is showing in the market for country killed calves. A very limited amount of trade Is reported at 13e for selected anlmala, but the bulk of the good stuff is rul ing around 14Jil4c. BUTTER SITUATION IS STEADY Butter Siarket is showing steady tone, con trary to previous expectations. This is due to the fact that the condeiisarles are making a greater fight for raw milk and are paying ad vanced prices to get the supplies aw ay from the creameries. BRIEF NOTES OF THE TRADE Declines, of 60c are shown, for wheat prod ucts and 60a for rye offerings. Asparagus market lower, st S1.0031.10 per dosen bunches. Egg trsde is slow, with prices unchanged along the atreet. Uilcken market Is sick, especially for small birds. Old potatoes are very slow locally, with, the season about to end. SHIPPERS WEATHER NOTICE Weather bureau advises: Protest shipments during the next 48 hours as far north ss 8e sttle against maximum tenieratures of sbout 70 degrees; northeast to Spokane, SO degrees sotiCheust to Boise, fH degrees; south to Ash lsnd, 80 degrees. Maximum temperature at Portland tomorrow about 74 degrees. Weather Is factor In Wheat Trading On Chicago Market By Joseph F. Prttchard Chicago. June 21. (I. N. S.) There was change of feeling In the various grain markets on the lKmrd of trade today, e sentiment was more bullish than on any previous day of tha week. This was shown by the price gains. which amounted to 2c for July wheat, while the September was off lHc. The former was In best demand from shorts, while the latter was under more or less selling pressure. Corn closed with advances of tlc, and oats were up aiae. Cash sales at Chicago were small at 13,000 bushels corn, and 05.000 bush els of oat. Exporters reported 400.000 bushels j ac of oata sold at outside points. There were do . sa soles of wheat reported in any position. West ern receipts of wheat today were 480.000 bushels corn, 97S.000 bushels of wheat and &88.00O bushels of oats. Export clearances of flour and wheat, as wheat, today 1.020.0tK bushels; corn, 144,000 bushels, and oats 624. 000 bushels. Bog products were higher far pork and ribs, while lard was a shade lower.

Reports Decreased Outlook For Prune Crop W. C. Wilkes, assistant general freljrht and passenger agent of the 8.. P. & 8. railway, has the following special report of ths prune crop: Vancouver. Wash. Prunes indicate about one half crop, compared to last year. They have been badly done up with brown rot, wirlch la presumably due to late rains. Camas, Wash. No prunes or cticirie in sleht for market. Very email percentage of produc tion of prunes expected. Weather fine. Wnsliougal, Wash. Prune crop is from 40 to 50 per cent short. Weetber conditions past two weeks favorable. Albany, Or. Prunes hardly half a crop. Eugene Or. Prunes in certain parts will give good yield, others only a small yield, on account of msny buds dropping off treea, the me applrlng to cherries snd pears.

Despite apprehea alon that there will be a labor shortage at harvest time in Y'aklma valley, evidences of a scarcity of labor are not to be found in ths federal employment offices of Yakima valley at this time, according to U. W. Acbeson of the North Y'aklma office, who has just re turned from Kennewlck, where he handled the labor for picking the strawberry crop. He says he had 10 men offering for every job. During the first half of June in the North Yakima office 473 men were sent out on jobs, and at the present time the office is sending ont from 40 to OS men dally, snd haa applicants still in waiting. It la significant, too, that the applicants are ready to go to work at wages far below the scale announced by the 1. W. V. leaders who are seeking to control the labor situation in the valley.

North Yakima, Jnne 2f. Ths fruit tonnage or isklma valley estimated at the blossoming time at 14,000 cars will be cut materially from that figure when re estimate Is made of the damage sustained by reason of the heavy drop that has couio which has exceeded ail precedent for losses In mid-season. Swet cherries are hsrdest hit. Hetimatea made In May placed the total of this crop at 250 cars but the best informed orchardlsts now say the yield will not be over 10O cars. Bartlett pears mint be cut a fourth from the estimate of lttoo cars, making the crop about the seme aa last year. Apples hsve suffered along with other varieties of fruit the Wlnesape being hunleat hit. A re-estlmate of tonnage will be mi.de July 1 when the effects can be better known.

What the Shippers Say Beneon Commission company reports the market ss follows: Strictly good steers sold on the market Monday for 10c which la probably 25c to 40 per cent higher than 10 days ago. It appears there aro Dot very many cattle ready to otne to market- While there wera quite a few steers on th market Monday that could be daaaed as good killers there were not enough strictly good cattle to supply the wsnts of tho packers. There does not seem to Oe any heavy cattle due to arrive from California soon and for this reason It la our opinion good cattle shlppon oa tha market now will net the owners well wniun tneir taeaa. in fact today strictly fst steers off the grass would bring 10c if bard. (tows sra selling equally ln proportion with good steers, with the supply very limited. Ws are not receiving as many common cattle aa we hare been for the past several weeka and this has had some tendency to strengtnen tne prices w ui oei tr stuff. Too hoes sold for $15.23 Monday with the supplies Just shoot equal to ths wants of the trsde. Today top hoga are selling around 15c. Tlga under 150 pounda selling sronnd 12c and 12Uc. We look lor sieaoy prices to prevail Fat aheep are being picked up quite readily Ithona-h th market is a utue lower jusi now At the present time vallev sheep sre making un the balk of the arrivals. We eee no rea son why there should be sny lmmedlste drop in price as the eastern markets are holding un ao well, in fact Chicago 2122 23U8 13 4015 4368 That there was really not the slightest ex cuse for the severe catting of cash wheat prices on ths Portland Merchants Exchange on Wednesday is the opinion expressed during the day by leading millers as well as grain buyers. It is impossible to purcbsse cash wheat within loc of the price quoted by the trade; ln fact the limited offerliiga atlll available la the country of the old crop are being held for full values of a few days ago. There is no doubt that the record decline ln values was msde simply to affect the price of new crop grain but this will not likely be of any benefit to the trade because farmers are not likely to rush peUmell Luto tha coo trading ring. Further severe weakness Is indicated In the fkwr trade but there is really no bnal ness to be hsd st sny pries at the moment; both retailer and consumer being heavily tocksd with supplies. It is estimated that the consumers of Ore gon lost several hundred tDousana aoiisrs oy speculating ln high priced flour this season nd the liaises throughout the country sr said to be very severe.

Tha following- com mentary from the current isavia ot Dun a Review la, therefore, of Interest: "Unuauai Interest and elgnlflcanca have attached to movement ln money, and that the market haa reached the year s highest levels la not aurrpislng The possibility of such a development during- the final weak of subscriptions to the government's bond issue had been considered ln many quarters, and with last Saturday's bank statement disclosing another sharp decline In sur plus, a further rise ln rates seemed certain. It was not until Friday, when per cent waa recorded, that tha pre vious maximum on call loans was ex ceeded. Increased conservatism on tha part of lending institutions was to some extent due to requirements In connection with the lrcoroe tax pay ments and the fact that preparations must soon be made for the extensive July 1 interest and dividend disburse ments. Yet tha Liberty loan has nat urally been the overshadowing feature, and on Friday the oversubscription of the issue was announced, tha response during the last week, under the ener getic campaign here and elsewhere. aving been most gratifying. Tha lghter situation ln call money was vldenced by a range of rates of from to 6 pw cent, against 3 to 4 per cent last week. As illustrating- the harden ing process ln time funds, all matur ltlts beyond 30 days and ur te six months reached a S to 5V4 per cent basis, though there was soma reces sion In the later trading.

JTew TsxX Trsinsportation a "The rsdlways are the arteries of the nation's lifce" EVERY business man, manufacturer, farmer, shipper, investor, savings depositor, life insurance holder, is directly concerned in railroad transportation. The value and importance of the railroads to the entire country Ln war or peace make their welfare at all time a matter of the greatest consequence. s The questions of efficient regulation and fair compensa tion are of paramount importance. The public interest demands the maintenance of railroad credit in order to insure service adequate to the needs of commerce and industry.
