Unusually hm.tr demand is showing for seed

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atock withdrawn because of the lack of aui table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.

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.

Only five loads of livestock entered the North
Portland yards over night. One of these went
direct to an outside killer and some of the other
Fmall supply came forward on contract or guar
anteed prices.
That the cattle market is cleaning up safely
after the recent extreme dullness and weakness
ir. the trade, was indicated during the trading of
the last 24 hours at North Portland. There waa
only a handful of new arrivals in the cattle alley
for tbe day and practically all the held-over atuff
ha now been disposed of.
In general cattle market price reflected a
fairly steady tone.

Sympathy ia extended to Portland because
the rains have dampened the Rose Festival, but
Portland is glad the rains have arrived even If
it has spoiled a little of its fun.
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. :
