SERIOUS LOSSES ARE SHOWN IN THE NORTHWEST FRUIT CROP
Edited by

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.

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.

S., P. & S. 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.

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

son why there should be sny lmmedlste drop

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.

The street generally took the position that
the flnancisl situation had changed for th
better, many important bournes taking a bullish
position aooa arter the opening.
Marine preferred attracted the most atten
tion, rising to t4 on persistent buying oa
rumors of another seml-annnsl dividend of

at 156 V. advanced to 13 and Steal cuu

trading, dropped to 125. It roae to 127

Smelting advanced 1 to 106.
The railroad Issues elso were strong, Tnloa

The steel industrials generally declined from

first 15 mlautaa. however, confident buying
waa ln evidence and recoveries were In order.
Bethlehem Steel "B" dropped 1 to 136V,
with a qnlck rally to 137 V and Crucible

"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.
A better understanding of these questions, and co-operation
among the many interests involved will help to
solve these problems.
We have prepared an analysis of the railrqad situation,
outlining its problems and their possible solution, which
wc shall be glad to send upon request.
