Advance of 2c a pound in the price of cream
, ry butter which took effect here during the day
as reported in the morning edition of The Jour
nal, waa made in view of the recent advances In
California. For awhile the trade here expressed
the opinion tliat no sdrance would be made at thia
time because it i fU that the California rie
was more of a speculative nature than an actual
BMTket condition, bat later with an advance
on Paget Sound, the rise iu forced here.
The adrance In butter placed creamery extras
at 60 a pound for prints in parchment wrap
per and 61o for carton. "
Adrance of only lc a pound was made in
' the price of bntterfat at the nine time indicat
ing that the trade in general was not sure of ita
ground in making the rise in butter.

Wheat Disease
Much Feared
Takfr Air Is Causing Apprehension
In the Trade.
y Myman H. Cohen
The so-called "take all" wheat disease which
has been noted in various sections ef the grain
belt east of the Rocky mountains, la causing
much apprehension among growing and milling
interests of the entire country.
The Corrallis correspondent of The Journal
edriaee that a conference regarding the disease
will be beld in Spokane. May 22 to determine
whether the disease is prevalent anywhere In the
Pacific coast section and to prevent its intro
duction if it is not. The college department of
plant pathology will be represented by C. E.
Ownee. assistant in botany and plant pathology,
and G. R. Hoerner of the federal bureau of
cereal diseaae investigation. ' H. E. Johnson, also
of the federal bureau, will visit the college Tues
day and accompany the delegates to the con
ference. He is just from Illinois, where "take
all' is a serious problem, and is familiar with
the disease and its symptoms.
Steps will be taken to prevent the introduc
tion through wheat importations from Australia,
wliere it is particularly destructive. Following
the conference the college wiD in? titute a thor
ough search of Oregon wheat fields to ascertain
whether "take-all" is present. Wheat troubles
somewhat similar were described in Oregon 10
years ago by Dr. A. B. Cordley. If it was
"take-all" it baa not the virulent form here that
it has in the east and in Europe, says Professor
II. P. Bars, who will direct the Oregon in
vestigations. Those desiring eperial information regarding
markets should write the Market Editor, enclos
ing stamp for reply.

As has been forecast by The Journal for some
time past, the opening prices on the 1919 spring
pack Columbia river canned aalmon has been
opened and placed at exactly the aame figures
as during the 1918 season witlf pound talis at
$3.15 and flats at $3.25 per dozen.
With a pack that has been extremely disap
pointing to date this season. With no carry
over in any hands as regards the better quality
fLb. With demand from all over the world
enormous, the prospects are that even at this
time the season's pack for the spnng-aummer
months of the Columbia river has been oversold.
Leading packers of the river have already re
ceived more orders for canned chinook . salmon
from the east than they expect to pack this
season.
This lias created a very firm tone all through
the trade and even the cheaper quality fish ia
inclined to hold very firm values.
REALIZING SALES CARRY
EARLY COTTON PRICES OFF
New York. May 21. (I. N. S.) The failure
of cables to respond fully to yesterday's advance
here, led to considerable realizing: at the opening
of the cotton market today, and in consequence
first prices were 145 to 40 points lower.
Spot bouses, the south and Liverpool also sold,
the Utter chiefly in late positions. Wall street
traded both ways, and Japanese interests were
buyers of cotton. Increased commission house
support developed soon after the opening, and
prices advanced sharply, the list at the end of
the first 15 minutes showing a firm undertone
al only a decline of about 6 points.
The close waa steady at a net decline of
23 & 55 points, the market reacting in the
CANNED
SALMON
last few minutes, under New Orleans and
local liquidation.

Liverpool Graia market
Liverpool. May 21. A continued active de
mand for corn in United Kingdom, but offer
ings are very small and any quantities put
forward quickly meet with absorption. Since
com meal has been decontrolled, this com
modity of the Argentina trade is quoted at
60s per -ton below the hitherto government
limits. Reports from Argentina mention good
buying by the allies and neutrals, . and it ts
interesting to note that many more ships are
destined to load with grain. There are now
on passage ' to Europe 5,912.000 bushels of
corn. - Oats trade is confined to small amounts
of aativa aorta. Foreign, remain unoffered.
Arrivals of imported grades in United Kiagdom
have been rather moderate, bat there are at
present large stocks. .

Huge stocks of grain bags have arrived at
Pacific coast ports from the Orient but there
appears a continuation of the practically nominal
demand for supplies from the farmers. There
is not quite so much keenness among dealers
to hold for such stiff prices as previously al
Ui U shading is by no means general.
Edward U Wells of the Portland 'office of
the weather bureau advises:
The week was cool, with considerable cloudi
ness. Light Tains w?re of frequent occurrence
in the western counties, and scattered suowers
occurred in most of the eastern part of the
state, but thtre was a considerable area in the
central and southeastern counties where no rain
fell. A little snow fell in a few elevated locali
ties. Frost occurred several mornings In some
of the eastern counties. In the central and
Southern counties there were high drying winds,
and some dust storms. Snow in the mountains
melted rather slowly, but streams carried a good
flow of water. Except over limited areas in the
western and southern counties farm work is
well in hand, and vegetation is fairly well ad
vanced for the season.
The cool weather and light rains were favor
able for winter wheat, oats and rye. Where no
rain fell these crops are suffering from drouth,
but the screage thus affected is relatively sma'.l.
Some little damage was done by frost and cold
winds. Spring wheat, oats and barley are germi
nating well in most localities, and have been
helped by rain, but need more rain. Seeding is
still in progress in some elevated localities. A
few aphides are reported from Polk county, and
grasshoppers are doing some damage in Klamath
county. Planting of corn is progressing rapidly,
though over very small areas planting was
atopped by rain. Warmer weather ia needed for
com.
The weather was generally favorable for fruit
but there is still complaint of apples, cherries
and prunes dropping. Strawberries are plentiful
to Douglas county and are ripening in other sec
tions. Early cherries are turning in Northern
I'matilla county.
The growth of alfalfa and clover has been re
tarded by low temperature and lack of sunshine.
Other hay crons have generally made good
growth. Meadows and pastures hare been re
vived by rain in the western counties,' and to a
limited extent elsewhere. More rain is needed.
SUck continues to make good gains. Shearing
continues. Soma sheep have been poisoned on
the range in Lake county.
Planting of potatoes continues.' Early pota
toes are growing well. Gardens need warmer
weather and more snnshine.

Movement of sheep and lambs to tne nortn
Portland market waa liberal over night with a
total supply for the day's trade of 1686 head,
compared with 1041 last, week and 402 head a
year ago.
Spring lambs -ontinued to hold rather steady
at $15.00 for top quality stuff and there was
quite a fair movement at this price whilo mut
ton was picked op within the former price range.
One deck- of sheep came from California but
did not enter tile market, having been purchased
in the south by a northern killer.'

Swine Trade About Steady
At $20.00 for extreme tops and the bulk
of the really worth while quality at $19.75,
the market for swine reflected a generally steady
tone in the North Portland alleys for the day.
Receipts were comparatively small, totaling but
286 head compared with 208 last Wednesday
and 572 head a year ago.
General hog ranee:
Trime mixed $19.75 20.00

Pig, 18.50 19.50
Bnlk 19.75
Oattla Situation Quiet
While indicating a steady tone, the market
for cattle was considered steady at North Port
land for the day. Only a very scant supply of
44 head put in appearance during the day and
this was insufficient to interest any real compe
tition among buyers. ''
