local apple trade continues to abort quite
liberal offering and the price is generally held
unchanKd. Wineaap and Romea are getting
so ripe that tha trade Is nnt inclined to hold the
price so high that a constant movement would
be prevented. Yellow Sewtowns are showing
quite good quality but there is llttl demand for
anything but red stock in tha local trad. Red
cheeks are still being held in storage with th
trade awaiting a cleanup of other offering.
Further agitation against the marking of eery
prnall appiea as extra fancy is shown among the
trade. Efforta will be made to hare this defeat
in the specifications remedied next season.
To date this season the government report
shows a total of 31,811 can of apples shipped
from the Pacific Northwest. On account of the
very heavy load, in some instances twice as many
boxes going into a car as during normal seasons
the total shipment to date in normal can would
run close to 30,000 cars, which breejtt all rec

First sales of barley in th local market for
some time ore shown at a record price between
$87.00 4S 60.00 a ton, the exact figure not betag
available. It is stated, however, that no addi
tional supplies of mill in t grade are obtainable be
lw th higher figures. Previous high price rec
ords look small compared with latest figures in
affect here, but holder of the limited supplies
are squeesing every possible cent out of the sit
uation which calls for the use of substitutes tor
wheat flour. Milling Interests who want to fur
nish this substitute must pay the price demanded
by speculators. ' -
At the same time comes the announcement of
rise of tl a barrel in the price of barley flour.
One mill which was ouoting $12 un to this time.
raised its quotation to $18. while a hih as
$13.80 was being asked by some of th other
miliars.
The United States food administration milling
division has sent th following warning to KU
lers of wheat flour who are now manufacturing
corn products:
Millers, who bate not previously been engaged
in eora tnillina and ar unfamiliar with corn
products, should bear in mind that corn products
unless properly prepared, spoil rapidly in warm
weather.
The followinc cautions should be observed
Dry corn properly before milling. Dry corn meal
or flour before packing.
Where proper facilities to effect drying are not
available, millers should Observe restrictions that
will Insure goods going into Immediate enhsump
tion.
Wheat flour millers desiring advice or assist
ance in connection with corn milling are invited
tu correspond with the United States food admin
istration, millina division, mechanical department.
W. B. Ayer. federal food administrator for
Oregon, advises: e
The food administration has announced the
following rules governing wheat flour. These
rules are effective immediately, and cover all
m'Jlt, whatever their capacity:
Licensed mills shall not sell or deliver wheat
flour to any individual consumer in towitt or
cities in quantities in excess of one quarter ( H )
barrel, and in rural or farm communities In
quantities in excess of one halt XVt) barrel
without written permission from the federal food
administrator of the stat in which th buyer is
located. I
Licensed mills shall not sell or deliver to any
consumer an amount of wheat flour in excess of
80 day supply for the consumer's household.
without written permission from the federal food
administrator of the state ia which the consumer
is located.
Licensed mills shall hot seu or deliver flour te
consumer unless such consumer makes a bona
fide , purchese at the same time of an equal
quantity of wheat flour substitutes.
The above rules do not apply to flour delivered
in exchange for wheat where the fanner brings
to the mill wheat grown by himself, which
can be and is ground by that mill. The amount
of flour delivered any farmer by a miller in ex
change for wheat shall not, when added to what
the farmer already has on hand, be mors than
enough to give a farmer a 30 day supply for his
household. , w
No miller shall mske any exchange of flour
Hor wheat-without the substitutes ,ntil h Ob
tains from the customer a written statement that
the wheat wss grown oa the customer's farm and
that the flour to be -delivered, when added to
what the customer already has on -hand, will not
exceed a 30 day supply for th customer and his
ousehnld. This statement must also say that
the customer will not sell, lend Or deliver such
flour to anyone outside his own household or es
tablishment, or permit such flour to be used for
other than human consumption. If a farmer dis
tributes whest flour to his neighbors, mills must
not sgain deliver him any flour in exchange for
wheat.
Custom -cna exchange milling Is subject to
grinding rules Nos. 17 and 17-A.
The food administrators will prepare and send
to the mills a form of certificate to be used in
exchange milling transactions, but until such
certificates have been received the mills must
follow the above instructions and receive a writ
ten statement.
The mill, in estimating the quantity that will
reasonably meet the requirements of the farmer's
household, should ficure on H pound per person
ler osy for thos -enticed In hard labor and 1 H
pounds per person per week for those engaged In
sedentary pursuits.
County administrators may grant exceptions
to the 30 day supply limitation whenever in their
Judgment it is a hardship for a farmer to come to
the mill as often as would be required under the
strict application of the rules.

Instead of the potato trade showing an Im
proved voJums, there seems to be a general lack
of bidding for supplies at country points, only
about two dealers operating at all for shipping
demand, tnd these taking only limited supplies.
All the business that has been done in U. B.
trade No. 1 during tha last few days has been
at 75o a cental and there is much stock being
freely offered tt this price. No. 2 stock cannot
be sold at any price t the moment.
Onion market continue in such bad shape
that shippers here practically given up all hope
of doing anything during tbe remainder of the
season. Stocks are not heavy, but even for these
there 'is so little demsnd that the movement Is
scarcely visible. Prices are nominally unchanged
but it is not the question of price, but of de
mand that the trade is worrying about. When
onions were-high: priced everyone seemed to want
them but now that they are cheap the demsnd
is nominal.
A similar ton is showing for garllo and many
tons, of this stock will be ruined this season.
W hile dealers are nominally asking 7 0 8e a
pound for garlic in small lots, anyone that wants
a lares supply could get It at their own price.
