Oregon-Wa thing to n cran
berries are. likely to have the
entire Pacific Northwest mar

much more liberal than normal,
there is practically no need of

ments for Less in America.
Egf market price ere generally alurply
bigber alone the wsolesal way aa a reauH
of the liberal tinrcBaae of freab atock by
the government for Alaskan ablpment.
Aa told yesterday, tba gb-aroment pur
cUtn ner were at S9V4SlVe a doxeo for
atock that waa approximately Dot more than
10 dsrs old, packed In new4 eaaaa end flllera.
This rder not only took' all tb freah ecx

but tner la atlll a demand from lbs gor
eri.rr.ent for additional supplies. Jiaturalljr
tinder aacb a condition nothing but strength
world be Indicated lu tbe ees trade.
The effect tit the govrnment purcbaae
baa been not only to force (resh egg price
beta to the highest point on record locally,
bat to place tba price of storage offering

n.ICKEX MAKKCT IlETTER
While orlces are nractfrally unchanged
tner la a swmewbat better demand for
chicken along the atreet. Soma of tbe trade
baa not elaaned up, but tbla la due principally
to tbe asking of higher price.
HAN ANAS MAY ADVANCE HERE
Iteuadae of a recent abarp advance of 60c
per 'hundred pound in New Orleana, due to
tbe scarcity of ocean tonnage and th higher
eoat of freight. It la quite likely tbat higher
prl.es will aoon be asked bere.

Carload shipments of Oregon grape to tbe
Portland market are materialising and Indi
cations point to sn increase in this business
within tie next few years,
Firet full carload of Bogu itiver Tokay
gripe ha arrived in tbe local market from
tirvnta I'ass, and five more carload are ex
pected before tbe season closes.
me stock is packed in lues and 1 SO far
superior, both In color and keeping quality,
to th California offerings tbat the latter
c&nnot be compared with the local offering.
For aome reason or other the Tokay grapes
of California this season were of poor quality
ana aia not Hold up very well. While tbe
grape rrom tne south never did show such
bright color a tbe vranta Pas Tokay, still
this season the difference Is more marked
than uaual.
While there is rather liberal movement
of grape In general, so much atock 1 being
offered that tbe trad sbow a wide apread
In jalne.

Special Series of ConTertlbla 4 Per Cento Is Designed to Take
Care of CoBveralona of iAberty Bonds Froin 3Ji I'er Cent
Only Four Coupon Are Attached to Bonds of Second Iacae.
Xibaxty Soad COaaxinotiasav, Local
banker were only recently Inform,
tbat there are thr classea of ov em
inent war bonds, although there haro
only been two lsaues, lacludinc the
present one. The first ot thes classes
is the S per cent Issue, redeemable
In from 15 to 30 year, with the final
maturity June 15. 1917. These bonds
are known aa series A. The second
class, series B, are known as ' 4 per
cent convertible bonds, and these are
the bonds that will be used to replace
the s in the operation of converting-
the 3a to the higber percentage
oasis. These class B bonds will nut
be sold at all. Only Juat enough will
be Issued to care for the conversion of
the 3Vii. The third series, class C
are the 4s that are being offered in
this, the second issue. The class B
bonds mature In 1947. while the elasa
C bonds nature in from 10 to 25 years,
with final redemption in 1942.
The class C bonds will be ready for
delivery after October 15. in all proba
bility. A large number of these bonds.
In denominations up to $1000, are said
to be in the federal reserve banks now. I
ready for delivery to the banks. The '
convertible series has not been pre
pared and the time of their delivery
is somewbst doubtful. Another point
about the class C 4s is that tbey are
teing sent out with only four cQupona,
attached. This number of coupons Is
gcod for two years, and the govern
ment, in the meantime, will have pre
pared the balance of the coupons. The
biggest task of all in connection with
preparing the bonds is that of making
the coupons, and it was this work that
so greatly delayed the work of getting
out the bonds sold in the first campaign.
