WINNEPEG WHEAT TRADE RESUMPTION SHOW S KEEN DEMAND EGG ADVANCE HERE IS THE RESULT OF HOT VEATHER DEMANDS Lack or Demand for Meat Is One Big . Reason for the Increasing Prices In Egos 47e Bid for Current Re ceipts Is a Record Here. The advance being quoted all through the egg trad at this time Is to some extent caused by weather conditions. Hot weather, -which always decreases me consumption qi meau ana incree the eating- of eggs. Is having- its effect. - With biddin as high as 47e a down for cur rant receipts from the "better known shipper, the pries her has touched the extreme high mark for the season to UU at this period. While this brio is aeneranr asmed only where the shippers re known to ship stood staff end ot take out the better class en and ship ttie remainaer still it shows that the egg call is increasing. Even though cold storage holdings of eggs in the United States at this time are far the great est err known, still at this moment this ap pears to be no infrnenee whatever in the making of -fresh egg quotations in this section.

No association sales in the , North west have thus far been fully confirmed but quite a few deals outside of the organizations have been made. -,.-- That Europe. would be an extremely keen bidder for apples in this country the present season, has been forecast for some time. Because of the fact that the average consumer there has not seen-an apple, much leas tasted one; during the period of the war, naturally creates an appetite for supplies that ia not likely to be overfilled even with a big- crop prom ised in the country. While the Pacific Northwest crop will in all likelihood be up to alt previous ex pectations, still recent reports from the east indicate considerable damage there. Those desiring special information regarding- markets should write the mar ket editor, enclosing- stamp for reply. High Price for Fruit Being Paid . Around Yakima Yakima, July 21.

Wash., July 19. Harvesting opera tions are on in full blast ia the wheat section of Franklin county with results more satis factory than had been anticipated some weks ago. Ia the las favored dry land sections the yield is running from 12 to 18 bushels to the aero, while the more fare red sections are pro ducing from 23 to 40 bushels to the acre. In view of the more or less unfavorable weather conditions of the - early spring and cummer these yield are considered very good. It is believed that the results will enable the farmers of this county to recover from last year's crop failure In rery good shape. ' : Help is Scarce and calls are being sent to the government employment "office and the Cham ber of Commerce every day for harvest hsnus. While the labor shortage wtil probably prolong the harvest season, it is not believed conditions are such that any of the grain will be lost for lack of help..

POTATO GRADING A NECESSITY TO GET THE HIGHEST PRICE Dealers Bemoan. Fact That State Of ficials Will . Not Cooperate to In crease j Efficiency in Marketing Reputation Means Mnch. Efforts of the local potato trade to secure the cooperation of the atite service ' commission In Increasing the standard of Oregon potatoes appear to be futile. At least that is the attftude taken by the trade as the result of ef forts to make the commission under stand the necessity of etrlct gradinR. For a number of years Oregon potatoes have been laed aa the poorest on the coast because of the lack of proper grading. While year ago this state's product waa considered the bet ob tainable in the nation, tb reputation bae been not to be envied during recent years. Leading shippers assert quite strongly that It makes little difference to them financially aside from the fact perLap that good grading creates a better moTement how potatoes are graded. Their profits per ear are about the same. However it makes much difference with the prodtocer for everyone ia the trade knows that no matter what the ordinary staff is quoted at in the trade, first claw quality and grading will always find a premium. The dealer have an organization for the es tablishment of grades on potatoes but without the active cooperation of the state official nothing can be accomplished. Corn Prices Are Sharply Higher in The Chicago Trade By Joseph F. PHtohard Chicago, July 21. (I. N. 8.)
