Extreme strength with a general scarcitj of
offerings of potato is shown in the local trade
with prices for supplies held high.
Good sized stock that is fully matured is
commanding a premium in the trade, but only
a rery scant stock of this quality is available
at the moment. General purchases from farm
er of the best stuff are around $2.75 per cen
tal. Ordinary quality is generally ruling at $2.50
2.60 per cental with small stock inclined to
show a slow tone at the moment around $2.00
and perhaps a fraction better in some in
stances. Owing to the lack of really good sized stock
generally in the trade it quite likely that
wholesalers will again be compelled to purchase
their immediate requirements in California, al
though the landed price for such supplies ia
perhaps a fraction greater than the trade here

Owing to the grrat abundance of poor quality,
low priced beef in the livestock market sales of

Merchants tn general are prepared ' to
meet new conditions ss fast as they

through increased earnings and assur

R. W. Pickard. assistant general freight agent
of the 8.. P. &. S.. has the fotlowins from
agents concerning grain and other crop condi-
uons .
Willamette Valley
Eugene The harvesting of the crops in this
vicinity is about completed and the results are
about as estimated in the early part of the sea
son. Beans will not be up to the estimate,
same kind of a bug has attacked the vines,
coupled with the lack of rain has reduced the
estimate made by 25 per cent. The potatoes,
however, will be about the average yield. Corn
also needs rain, the stalks look firm but the
ears are not filling out and unless we have
some rain it will not be near a normal crop.
Forest Grove Fall grown wheat 80 per cent
normal. Spring grain 50 per cent. Hay arop
is an average yield but acreage haa been cut
40 per cent. Late potatoes promise well but
acreage is only sbout 70 per cent of last year.
All fruits are yielding well and quality good.
Beaverton Wheat has shown an average
around 20 bushels per acre. Spring shown
wheat was a failure as was oata and vetch.
