Berry Acreage Is
Increasing
Japanese Growers teasing Much
Land in Vicinity f ortland.
By Hymaa U. Cohea
An enormous increase in the acreage
bf berries is being planned all through
the Pacific Northwest states and espe
cially in the Willamette , valley as a
result f the extreme prices' now being
offered and paid. :
Because of the huge demand from the
juice producing compaTiles, the percent
age ot increase " is greatest in logan
berries, but the raspberry acreage is
being increased at a rapid pace.
Efforts are being made to contract
evops during the next few years, but
growers are not Inclined to tie up their
holdings, ' because values offered - are
said to be somewhat below the present
Standing.
Much of the increased acreage is be-
lng set out by Japanese, - who are at
present practically in control of the
small fruit business, not tmly of the
Pacific Northwest but pf the" entire
Pacific coast. Reports indicate that
they are leasing .much more land in
j Eastern Multnomah and Columbia river
counties.
Those desiring any special informa
tion regarding any market should write

reply!
Rains Bring a
Loss in Corn and
Hogs in Chicago
Chicago. Aug, 1. 1 (I. Tf. 8.) Liberal
rains orer much of the corn belt and a decline
in hog prices resulted- in a lower opening in
corn today. First prices, were 2 4 Vz c lower.
There was general commission houe selling but
the buying power wag wesk.
Commission houses and locals were free sellers
of oats at the start and there waa a decline of
1 H e in prices. There was some buying
by cash houses on the break.
l'rorisions started lower, indueed by scat
tered selling, the weakness in grain and the de
cline io bogs.. , -

SALMON OUTPUT OF. !
WORLD IS GREATLY
DECREASED IN 1919
Total Output Not Likely to Be Mere
Than 6,000,000 Cases Compared With
10,000,000 a Year Ago Better Run
Now In Columbia.
The year 1919 is likely to go into his
tory as the season for the smallest pack
of canned salmon that the trade of the
Pacific eoast has known since the in
dustry became firmly established.
The entire world's pack is not ex
pected to reach above u.000,000 cases.
-compared with about 10.000,060 eases a
year ago.
Columbia rirer packers era about 10 to IS
per cent short as compared with this time a
year ago. but as the season will not close until
August 25 and the present run is a Tery fa
Torable one, it is quite .possible that not only
will the Columbia river packers put up as much
salsaao as a year ago, but that a small in
crease may be shown.
One or two of tne packers base a small in
crease orer last season's output at this time,
but this is due to the fact that they base
secured many fish from the t roller outside the
riser.
Reports front Oregon ' eoast' streams indicate
a demoralized condition among salmon packers.
The Rogue riter p to a very short time ago
had packed only about 7000 cases, compared
with- last year's output! of 80,000 cases. On
Alsea bay the; hrt practically done so packing
because of a strike of the fUiiermen.
Pucet Sound packers report practically no
pack to date and the outlook for tlte remainder
of the season is far from hopefuL
Latest reports from Western Alaska, in7 the
Tidnity of Bristol Bay, say that the season there
lias been the most dismal failure that packers
have known. Home hare already shut up shop
with a pack that is estimated 26 to 40 per cent
short of a year aco.
Southwestern Alaakan reports are to the ef
fect that packers there are abont half short
of a year ago, but the season there will con
tinue for some time and it may be possible to
increase this output somewhat.
Just, where the public is going to get it re
quirements of canned sahnen is not taown.
Packers have greatly oversold their peeks. Most
of them bare orders for their normal output
and rlhis season's pack is far below that.
Sensational Rise
Forced in Cotton
"New York. Aug. "1. (I. N. S. -Cotton
made a sensational advance of 200 points soon
after the opening of the market today as s re
sult of the government condition report.
The report showed 67.1, a decline, of 2.
points for the month. As this condition was
not expected, there was a scramble by shorts at
the opening and an advance of 100 points was
recorded. Within 15 minutes prices soared at
200 point above the opening, at which point
the advance was checked.

Killers were on the far bear aide of
the swine trade during the day, but ship
pers were holding back their sales. :; Cat'
tie were quiet with, a small run and there
was only a nominal trade in the' sheep
alleys.
There was no disposition wliateves amoeg
killers to aseet the prices aaked to hous by
shippers in th North Portland alleys during the
early part of the day's aessien. -
Probably the bearishae among killers waa
due to a more or less extent by the great agi
tation now going throughout the country to
ward lowering the price of foodstuffs. The un

Further price advances ara being asked
by alfalfa growers of the interior and it
ia almost impossible to purchase stock in
any section new even at S2S a ton for
bated stock- In some sections $25.50 is
being asked, even where the freight rate
to Portland is more than $4 a ten. This
means that alfalfa cannot - possibly be
landed in Portland below $29.50 a ton.
While there is very little activity among hay
buyers of the coast to purchase alfalfa at pre.
vailing prices, growers are able to secure much
business right in their home sections. In the
livestock districts actual business in alfalfa is
reported as high as 830 a ton and aom are
holding back for still higher quotations.
Portland and Puset Hound millers are pur
chasing but little wheat at thia time. While
most of them are in the market for new crop
at the government price, many growers are
showing a disposition ta ask a premium aad
some of the country mills are said to be paying
it ' Growers are fvguriug upon getting a pre
mium from the governmeut by holding a whist,
but it is not likely that thia premium will be
available, except at such time as supplies are
congested and growers are unable to market
their supplies promptly.

money needs, and there are indications
of a larger diversion ef outsiders into
the low-priced rails, . coppers, motors
and oils. There la, a feeling in com
mission houses with - large outside pa
tronage, that TJ. S. Steel probably is
the best of the trading stocks, offering
a wide market, being safer having good
prospects and being desirable in bank
loans, '-. j . -. - .
