Edited by x flyman IL Cohen HERN BUTTER MARKET IS, WEAK WITH SOUT! PRODUCT IN NORTH Puoet Sound Purchases in California, Instead of Here, Because or Reduced Quotation Affects Local Trade to Considerable Extent. YYealoe is showing In the market for but ter . U along the eoart. with recent flttdta Hoim at California' points lower than wht tn l'aciflc Northwest -ha been auoting. , --. Quite liberal supplies of California butter hare m-chpd thi trade recently and greater volume hat been morinr from tha South to 1'ngrt Sound point. , ; - . Just at this tim the California market Is somewhat of a regulator for the entire coast. X Itnat Hound uaually purchase liberal up plie of butter .In thi territory, ,th lower price quoted by California baa earned the de mand to co in that direction. The local market usually , produce' more butter than needed for home requirement and an outlet ia therefore necessary. For' years the local trade nea allowed Cali f oral a to grab thia outside business whenever the southern interest wanted-it. It ha been harmful to ' the local Industry.

On the East Side Fanners' market most sales were mad at 88.50 9 8.75. but some fTOlt went as high aa 84 4.. 25 in a limited way. The latter prices were shown on Front street for some local stock, although Hood Birer sold as high as 84.25. Much local stock went at' $3 3 60. F1H8T JlTEICOTS ABE RECEIVED First apricots of the season were reported in from California by Page A Son during the day. The stock was only in fair condition and tales were made at 83.60 per 25-pound lug. . :r . : HAT CROP , CONSIDERED GOOD According to C. Kay Beck ley, Just returned from .his ranch near Condon, the cutting of al falfa ' is under way. The first crop of that section' is reported as going 2 to 2 tons per sere And quality is excellent. Wool Bearish Talk Joke Speculative Interests' Trying to Fool ..Themselves and .Growers. By My man m; Oohee Talk by various Boston snd other eastern speculatiT Interests of Impending weakness and prbable lower prices for fleece ia one of those Jokes that the Eastern trade is aeeatemd to pass to the unraapeetine sheep man of the wort. A careful investigation of the recent buying of fleece ia the East as well at in the West indi cates no earn at all for alarm among the wool owners regarding the probable trend of value within the immediate future So far a the better quality wool is concerned. f - Manufacturers have been i taking all of the fleece that has been offered and hare not been able to force any reduction It values. In fact the principal complaint of the bis consuming wool interests to date has been that the price hare bean held too high. Many of them have blamed the government for not standing in with them and by damping huge quantities of wool upon the market, force sharp reductions in the pi ice. -'-i - The bearish talk sent out by Boston at Inter vals is more the matter of wish than any actual condition. It is a natural condition that buy ers and manufacturers would seek to secure their fleece as cheaply as possible but their plans went wrong thia season ; due in a measure to the fact that most Pacific Northwest growers were in formed regarding the true situation by The Journal Those desiring apecial information regarding any market should write the Market Editor, en closing stamp for reply. - CornxOpeiis iWith Advance for Day y Joseph W. Prttchard Chicago. May. ,27. (UN. 8. ) May corn sold up to 81.82. a new high for the season, and carried other deliveries along with it with a good premium over the previous close. Trade was fairly . active and resting spots wen to lc higher. ? Oatt had a buoyant undertone and higher prieea Were easily made, the close being to 44 o higher. - After a sharp break in the early .trading the provision market rallied and closed slightly higher. Chicago. May 27. (I. N. 8.) Corn opened strong to llic higher today on scattered com mission house buying and a scarcity of offerings. On the upturn, however, a house prominent on the buying aide yesterday, filled the demand. Oats were Ho lower to Ho higher. Trade was light with buying scattered. Some of the leading commission houses turned to the selling aide immediately after the opening. Provisions opened steady with ribs 5c lower and lard off 15c Trade was quiet. CALF MARKET ISTDOIKO BETTER Market fur country killed calve was some what better along the street during the last -4 hours with most sales of good quality at 19a a pound, although a small volume of business was done a fraction higher.

A million dollar rain is the way that. Eastern and Central Oregon describes recent . shower east of the Cascades. Reports received by The Journal from various sections indicate "that during the last few day several million bush els have been added to the prospective - wheat crop of the three Pacific Northwest states. . Th rains have been a wonderful aid not only to grain and bay, but ' to potatoes and onions, Some fruits have been aided by th showers, but during the - last- day or so immense damage has been done to the prune crop. - C. L. Dick, in charge of the prune department of 'Mason, Ehraan 4k Co. of this city, who has ju.vt re turned from aa extended investigation of. the prune crop of Clarke county, Washington, 'as well as through the Willamette valley, says that many thousands of acres 'are absolutely without a single prune on th trees. According to Mr. Dick, who is one of : th foremost leaders of - th prune business, - he would not figure the entire production thu aeason of this section above 30.000.000 pounds, a sensational decrease - from all previous esti mates. ' ;. According to Mr. Dick, the damage is shown in practically all sections of ' the prune terri tory. In Eastern Clark county the situation ia very favorable, but elsewhere in that sec tion : and especially around Felida, the crop promises to be very short. . :' Around Pallas and Forest Grove there 1 are some very good yields in prospect, but even in those districts there are many trees that . have no prune at all in eight. Indication continue to point strongly to an immense peach crop, not only at Willamette valley point, but in Eastern Oregon. Apples continue to do well and prospects are the most favorable for many yean, so far as total production in Oregon and Washington ia concerned. Pear crop indicates a moderate production with prospects somewhat mixed in various sec tions. Potatoes, onion and garden truck indicate a big output per acre thia season, although the acreage of potatoes ia rather small aa com pared with recent seasons. Tomato crop indi cate a full production in the leading sections, with the acreage the greatest ever known in -this territory. AMERICAN LIVESTOCK PRICES Chicago Hoga 820.26. Chicago, May 27. (L N. 8.)

Hinaa. director general of rail roads, today authorised the following: The railroad administration ia giving careful consideration - to the measure necessary for the satisfactory transportation of the anticipated large crops of grains. The department of agri culture has estimated that the yield of winter wheat will exceed. - 900,000,000 bushels. A fair estimate of the yield, of spring wheat ap proximates 800,000.000 bushels. The total yield of wheat thia year will in all probability exceed the total of last year by from three to four million - bushels. No estimate of other grains is, of course, possible at this time, but barring unusual climatic conditiona is can perhaps be properly -expected that the tonnage in grain tha. will be produced this year will exceed that of last year by a considerable margin; ' . ... .,' . The stable : prica fixed last year by the gov ernment on wheat naturally provoked a desire on the part of producer to realize - bia earn ing aa quickly aa possible, and since a stable price- has again been fixed by the - government for this year' crop, it is assumed a similar condition will obtain. Last year this economical condition, coupled with more or less disar rangement in ocean tonnage and consequent disruption in shipping, resulted in such an acute situation at the Interior ' grain markets and at sesports that it became necessary to install th so-called "permit system." which was early made operative at the ports, and in September, 1918, at the principal interior markets. The permit system is a highly beneficial system of controlling traffic at the sources to prevent serious congestion on the road and at destination. This system prevented in the fall of 1918 a serious transportation paralysis of former years, due to widespread congestion of traffic which which had been shipped but which could not be disposed of at destination. This pa ralysis of traffic in former years was most appar ent in the East, but its injurious effects wen felt throughout the country. It was the principal cause of car shortages in every part of the coun try and slowed down the movement of traffic and impaired the transportation service everywhere. While the permit system at the porta is still in operation, it was suspended a few months ago at the interior markets, due to improved ocean shipping and the fact that the bulk of the grain- had been moved. It is, however, to be expected that the system will again be inaugurated with th opening of the new wheat season, and in view of that prob ability the railroad administration is already preparing the necessary machinery so that it may be prepared to act without delay at the proper time. Conferences have already been held with representatives of the grain cor poration. Aa graphically illustrating the necessity of regulating the transportation of this tonnage, and the results obtained from such regulation, the following facts are of value and interest ing : For the nine month of the crop year, July 1, 1918. t May 1, 1919. there passed through the grain handling facilities of the country- elevators and miliar a total of 3, 440,286.000 bushels of all grains, although the highest point of grain storage . of ail kinds, at any one time in that period,: was 480,000,000 bushels. That ia, in nine months the flow of grain waa seven times the quantity which ac cumulated in storage at th highest point during that period. This is a direct illustra tion of the necessity of keeping the grain handling facilities of the country , liquid. - to avoid the distress to all interests ' that would follow blocking of this Oow'of grain. The permit system as operated last year contemplated the closest cooperation between the railroad administration and the United States food administration-grain corporation. Th local representative of tha grain corpora tion were in daily contact with the grain con trol committees at each market and i ia view of the very comprehensive data and information in their possession aa to storage facshties, an ticipated movements out of markets, the needs of different sections of th country, -hot . only as to wheat but as to other cereals that flow eoincidentallr with wheat, etc. were of inval uable aid in the accomplishment of the permit system with a minimum economic disturbance? The same character of assistance is being ar ranged for from th grain corporation or the wheat director, in anticipation that it will he necessary to reinaugurate the permit plan within the next one or two months. Th wheat director ia as vitally interested as the railroad administration that) the grain tonnage shall be handled with the least possible, friction aa between all interests concerned, and is in entire harmony with the railroad admin istration as to tha plans proposed in that di rection. ; It is the intention to keep the public fully informed of the plana for the transportation of the enormous grain crop and through the cooperation of an interest concerned it should be possible to meet what otherwise might prove a difficult situation.
