Clueav Saw Tart vr Wool Sales Are Successful Portland Takes Place as Leading Primary Market Center. ' . By Hyman H. Cohan The third wool auction held by tba govern ment In Portland Tuesday ! was the most suc cessful lu the United States, both as regards the prices obtained and the small amount of atock withdrawn because of the lack of aui table quotation. The percentage of withdrawals waa so small as -to be scarcely considered, and the sale for that reason waa highly successful. This - sale again - emphasizes the fact that Portland has become the leading primary wool market in the United State. It clearly shows not only to manufacturers, but to wool growers that this city will hereafter take its rightful place as a wool marketing center. Boston and other canters ahould take note of this fact even though they liar fought this city tooth and nail. By grading and sorting wool here, growers receive far better returns on! their supplies than thejr; would .average elsewhere. That growers arc begetting to realise this is .attested to by the increased shipments to this city this season. Those desiring special information regarding any market ahould write the Market Editor, enclosing stamp for reply. Offerings of Corn Less at Opening BV JOSEPH F. PRITCHARRD Chicago, June 11. (I.

LOCAL BUTTER PRICE IS NOW HIGHER WITH THE MARKET MANIPULATED Advance of 2c a Pound in the Value Hade Despite Fact That Eastern Stock Can Be Landed Here at Lower Figures Butterf at Up Sc Pound. Pure manipulation ia ahowing in the mar ket for butter in the" Pacific Northwest at this tuna. This manipulation baa been practically made at Seattle, but it ia baa farced the rest of the , Northvyst trade to follow temporarily be cause of the higher prtica Quoted for butterf at. During the morning an advance of 2c a pound in the prica of -print butter and a rise of Sr. a pound in butterfat went into effect, al though some creameries wera not quoting more than 2c rise on the latter. That the market of the Northwest is man ipulated and the consumer forced to pay arti ficial values for his daily bread spread, ia in dicated by the fact that markets to practically -every other section of the United States have recently shown liberal price declines. In fact, today it is possible to bring butter extras from the middle west and land them in Portland or other coast centers at 64c a pound. Tliis means, therefore, that the middle west product will be shipped freely to the coast center - unless there ia an immediate change in the situation. It appears that some of the big Seattle op erators were caught with high-priced California butter ou their hands, and as they wera big enough to force tUe issue they sent the gen eral market artificially higher in order to save themselves. : line lit .

In dollars and cents it means more to Port land than many festivals, for the shower will give to tbe Pacify: Northwest many thousand of bushels of. grain that would not have been produced if these timely showers naa not ma terialized. To estimate the exact aid that the rains have given the grain crop would be mak ing too much of a guess. Wheat and other grains have needed the rain and the showers have done much good where they fell. Exception is taken by the trade to the gov ernment's figures upon the spring wheat acre age in Oregon. The government figures were placed at 262.100 acres with the total area at 1.043.900 acres, while on May 25 The Journal gave the spring acreage of the state at 558,000, or a total of 1.606.000 acre for the state. However, the government figures as stated in its report, are subject to, correction end revision, while The Journal'a figures are definitely placed. Weather Bureau Report. Edward L. Wells of the Portland weather bureau says : ' The temperature averaged llghtly above nor mal, but there were several cool nights, with frost in elevated districts. There was ample sunshine, and very little rain fell in any sec tion. Dry northwest winds caused rapid evap oration. Farm work is generally wen ad vanced. The advance of vegetation ise normal except in a few localities. All grain crops in the Willamette valley and coast counties are in good condition; the tame applies to irrigated grain in all sections. In the principal wheat growing counties in the northern part of the state winter wheat is standing the drouth well in most localities, but needs rain for proper filling. In other localities the drouth is serious. In the southern counties all un irrigated grain need rain. Spring wheat, oats and barley are suffering more than win ter wheat. Rye is generally good, and is ripening in the southern and northeastern coun ties; harvest of rye has begun in Umatilla and Josephine counties. Corn is doing well except for some local damage by frost. Conditions have been generally favorable for fruit, though in some districts more moisture is needed. Strawberries are fairly plentiful in the Willamette valley and are ripening in the coast counties. Cherries are ripening but few have been marketed. The prospect for logan berries is particularly good. Thinning of fruit is in progress. Cutting of the first crop of alfalfa has been completed in some of the warmer sections, and is generally in progress elsewhere, with yields mostly satisfactory; the second crop ia. starting well. Cutting of the first crop .of clover ia under way. Pasture and ranges need rain in most' sections, but except over limited areas are furnishing sufficient fed. In some of the north central eounties. however, the range is becoming exhausted and stock is being shipped out. Except over limited areas, stock is in excel lent condition. Some lamb have been mar keted in Clackamas county, and small numbers of grass-fed cattle have been shipped. Potatoes are doing well except in elevated districts, where they have been injurd by frost. Early potatoes are in bloom in western coun ties. Garden vegetables need rain in most sections. Garden peas are ready for use in Malheur county. : FLOUR Selling price: Patent, $11.45; family wheat flour, $11.30; whole' wheat flour, $10.50 10.76; Willamette valley.
