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.

Speculation in
Apples Keen
Foreigners Coming En masse- to Se
cure Stocks In Northwest. ,
, By Hjmaa H. Cohen '
Speculation in the apple trade is far
the keenest ever known In the Pacific
Korthweat. . - - -
Buyers from all parts of the world or
their representatives, are either here or
coming- enmaawe to contract their prob
able requirement). 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.

tire output of the Richard Bart 40 acre or
chard on the reservation at 82.00 a box. or

The first trading in the wheat mar
ket on the American continent since
the exchanges were closed as a', result
6f the war, started at Winnepeg during
the "morning-. First bid for October
was $2.13 but the market quickly gained
Strength and actual sales , were soon
made up to $2.24 with S2.25 bid early
in the day. For December the initial
quotation was $2.01 bid but, by quick
degrees the market advanced to $2. SO.
This aciton alone i sufficient to show the
real strength of the world's wheat situation. The
tow price made in the initial bidding we con
sidered merely a feeler to see which way tie
trend of the trade indicated. :
Action of local flour millers in advancing
their price of flour 15c a barrel, effective dur
ing the day, -was merely the result of the ex
treme price that the trade is compelled to pay
for cotton sacks. However, no change were
announced in other grades.
With raUlstnffs firmly held at $39.00 a ton
by the mills, this market is showing a very un
seasonable , tone. California ia a very keen bid
der lor supplies and is taking everything avail
able at the price. Usually at this time of the
sea on, with new wheat coming forward, the mill
feed market shows reduced value, :.
Hay market at various point of the North
west: Spokane Stronger feeling in alfalfa market.
Dealers report prospective demand from country
for winter feeding as good. Prices are firm
with an upward tendency. New timothy is ar
riving. Loose grain hay ia weakening present
demand.

Franklin Harvest
Shows Good Crops
Pasco. 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.

President Wilson today asked the
foreltm relations committee to ap
prove his appointment of a j?rovl
slonal American member of the al
lied reparations commission, to over
see the payment of Germany's war
debts. ,
The president made his request in a
letter to Senator Lodge, chairman of
the committee. The letter ronows :
"July" 18, 1919. My Dear Senator
"There are some things in connection
with Iha namitlnn nf th treaty Of
peace which can hardly await the ac
tion of the several governments wmi-u
must Act with regard to the ratlflca-

with which we are associated that the
United States should be represented on

while the work of the commission Is
taking shape, that I am taking tne lib

Very sincerely yours. '
"WOODROW WILSON."
' The letter waa discussed by the com
mittee and action was deferred until to-,
morrow. " "
BKPTJBLICAN8 OPPOSE PLAJT
i Republican members vigorously op
posed any action by the committee ac
quiescing in the appointment In advance
of ratification.
After Lodge had read Wilson s letter
to the committee. Senator Williams,
Democrat, moved the following resolu-
t,That ''we recognise no jurisdiction lrt
the members of this committee, as a
committee, over the subject-matter in its
present status, but we think -that the
president has the power to appoint an
American commissioner in order to ex
pedite completion of the details of tho
preposed treaty."
The effect of this resolution, Republi
cans said, would be complete compliance
with President Wilson's request.
Senator Harding. Republican, k moved
this substitute: -
"That the chairman be instructed to re
ply to the president that In the Judg
ment of the committee neither the com
mittee nor the senate has any outhorlty
to take any action in respect to any
treaty provisions until the said treaty
has become effective through ratifica
tion." JOCKEYING TIC COMMITTEE
To this Senator Hitchcock moved to
add the words:' "and assures that the
president alone can take the necessary
action to have the United States tem
porarily represented on any commission
of reparations set up by concertlon of
.t.. in. n ut nrovlBlonally during
the period required to, reach the rat
ification of the. treaty..
Senator Knox. Republican, moved as
a substitute for the Williams, Harding
and Hitchcock resolutions the follow-
ilaaC
It Is the Judgment of the committee
that until the treaty is ratified, no
power exists, either In the president, or
congress, to execute any provisions of
the proposed treaty, either provisionally
or otherwise.'' : '
