FACING A LOSS IN
THE BUTTER MARKET
PaM More for Stock" Now in Ice
' Houses Than the Present Market
Value Producer Gets Big Price but
fcuys lie Is Going Broke.
F.xtremely' quiet tone is shown in the
' market for butter. Purchases of cubes
continue of a hand to mouth character,
trading being only for immeliate re
quirements. . r
For extras 54c a ' potvtfLAt'.pears to be
the extreme buying price at this tlmi ..
'A fact, it takes exesjpti aal quality to

Shortage of butter, however, Is more In
the better qualities than in ordinary
rtocV no far as fresh offerings are con
cerned The coolers are full of butter,
but this stock cost on the average more
to put into the icehouses than the pres
ent market. Many people are not in
formed regard ins this. They feel that if
there ir a bis stock of butter in storage
if should be low priced. Occasionally
thisyflappens when the storage interests
pay too much for the product.
This year most of the money went to
the dairymen, 'who, in turn, claim that
even at the record values, he is not able
to make expenses.

THE 11920 WHEAT CROP STARTS IN INTERIOR
Cran berry prop
To Be Heavy
Record Production Is Expected In
, Oregon and Washington.
By Hymaa H. Cohea
This year's cranberry crop of Oregon
and Washington will break all records
both as regards output per acre and the
extent of the acreage in the two states.
There will be a sufficient supply of
home-grown cranberries for all require
ments of th trade- aind there will be
absolutely no need to Import even a
single barrel from the East this season.
While It Is quite possible that some
eastern stock will be Imported this sea
son because of the "ballup" in the local
selling agencies, the present outlook is
for a. surplus instead of a shortage of
berries along the coast this season.
MucH harm waa done the industry by
the lack of business tactics by the
association of growers last season, and
fears are expressed that simitar mis
takes will be made this season. To be
on the safe side, therefore, it is likely
that some stock will be imported.

garding any market should write the

Fractional Changes
In Grain Prices
By Joseph . Pritonard
-Chleago. Ang. 13. U. N. 8.) The grain
market showed great irregularity- up to the very
close 1f the day. Shorts were anxious to cover
and when this buying had spent itself there were
price declines, in corn and oats as the pressure
from holders' became greater. September corn
was the strongest, showing gains of from 14
to c, -while ' there were losae of e
for December and H He for May. The en
tire oats liMt was higher 1 1 V4 for Septem
ber, 1 H fei 1 H c for Ixseember and 1 1 "4 e for
May. Hog products were 20 42 He lower.
Chicago. Aug. 18.- 1L N. S.) Corn started
He higher today, with the exception of the dis
tant futures, which showed a loss of 1 cent.
Locals sold December and May at the start be
cause of the favorable weather map. There was
hot much pressure, and local bulls gave the mar
ket support on the break.
Oats opened unchanged to He higher. A
local broker filled a buying order shortly after
the opening taking the grain tff the market.
Later there was scattered selling induced by the
heaviness in com. The volume of business waa
small.
Ribs started 6c higher. There was no other
trade.

Fall wheat sowing bag already been
started in the Pacific Northwest. This
is the earliest r, that planting has ier
been dope In 'this country and Indi
cates that growers are at last betrin
nihg to realise' that their hope of good
yields depends upon whether they get
their crops in early or not.
Fall sowing has started in several
places throughout the Palouse district,
a late rain having, given growers the op
portunity to seed their crops much ahead
of the normal time.
.That xogiiy miners do not sppear to realise
that wartime reactions have not been entirely
removed ,in the milling business, is the text
of a message just issued by Max H. Houser,
second vice president of the grain corporation,
to miller of this district He advises:
''It has come to our attention that some
millers and flour jobbers are making contracts
for sale and delivery of flour for a longer. pe
riod than 60 days from date, contrary to the
provisions of the wheat millers' and flour jobbers'
agreements.
We have been advised that this clause must
be strictly enforced. We therefore ask that
all millers and flour jobbers strictly adhere to
the rule, otherwise the penalty provided in
clause 1 4f the license will have to b,e in
voked. "If you have made any such contracts ex
tending longer than 60 days, please cancel them
at once, and give notice to this , office of
such cancellation."
Effective August 15, 1919, and until further
ordered, applications in duplicate for licensee for
the exportation of wheat to all destinations in
the' Weatern Hemisphere, and east coaet of
Asia, to which flour shipments sre now license!,
will be received for consideration at the office

Extremely quiet tone waa shown in
the livestock trade for the day, receipts
being light, and there was an absence
of really worth while quality stuff, to
stimulate bidding.
Killers Are likewise inclined to . go
slow about -making more than necessary
purchases for immediate use because of
the cost of living,; agitation.
There was a good1 steady tune noted in the
cattle alleys for the day but the class of stuff
offering waa by no means suggestive of extreme
prices. In general values remained about as
previously quoted.

New York, Aug. 13. L N. S. An ad
vance of 17 to CO points koarked the opening
of the cotton market today. By the end of

Near the dose there was a small rally, with

Salem, Aug. 13. Any attempt at. de
mobilisation of the air service on the

Olcott, who today sent letters to Sena
tors Chamberlain and McNary urging

blows ever experienced In our forest pa
trol work If the proposed demobilisation
should be ' accomplished." , he writes.
"Our short experience with this air pa

been obtained and it appears that it
would be the height of folly to lose this

mearia so much to our state."

cott in his letter to oppose the move.

FOOD HDG SOUGHT
Attorney General Palmer Asks for
Amendment Which Will Give
, Him Wider Powers. ,
Waahington, Aug. 13.- (I. N. S.) -
Wider powers for the prosecution of
food profiteers were asked from con
gress today , by Attorney Cgyncral
Palmer, who submitted to ' Senatoi
Gronna of North Dakota, chairman
of the agricultural committee of. the
senate, a 'draft of the amendments
to the food control bill aimed to give
him 'wldeij authority. ,
Extension of the act to apply" to
"wearing apparel" and the containers In
which food, feeds and fertilisers ar
aold, was Urged "by the attorney gen
eral. He also asked, for the punish
ment by ai fine of not more than $5000
or imprisonment -of not more than two
years, or both, for those who restrict
the production of food.
.Under the terms of the food control
act as It is now drawn there are pro
visions "which prohibit any restriction
of food production, by manipulation of
transportation, markets or any other
meana.- The attorney general contends
that there1 is no. power of punishment
under thej present' Mil, however, and
hence bis ireques for an amendment.
. Cold storage plants are being used hy
the packers to control prices. Senator
McKellar rjf Tennessee declared in the
senate this afternoon, in n speech urir
tng; the adoption of his bill for the reg
ulation of jcold storage plants."
"I want at the very outset to say that
under no Icireumntanccs am I - opposed
to the use of this splendid 'invention
known as cold storage," sai Senator
McKellar. j "My bill does not fetter cold
storage inl any way. but tt regulates it
so the people of the United States can
get the -vary best benefit out of it. My
belief Is that It la being used by the
packers for the purpose of controlling
prices." :

Congress today waa preparing to speed
up Us legislative program designed to
bring down the-high, coat of living;. In
response to demands not only from the
people at large, but from 'members of
congress 'themselves, the committees
before which varloua bills are pending
today had decided to grant no pro-;
tracted hearings.
"It Is a time for action," declared
Representative G-oodykoonts of Went
Virginia, who has Introduced in the
house a resolution demanding that the
house Judiciary committee report forth
with bills I punishing profiteers, whether
manufacturers, wholesalers. Jobbers or
retailers, and providing a plan for re
ducing the money In circulation in order
te restore its value to the dollar and
prevent additional trouble because of In
flation; j
The agriculture committee received the
Gard bill,! Introduced In the house Tues
day, which provides for ' a "necessaries
control act," which brings under control
of the federal government focds tind
foodstufrs, feed, clothing. fuel. shoes
and other necessities; provides drasitu
penalties for profiteering, hoarding and
speculating, and' otherwise reulat-a
trading , in necessities. In accordance
with the recommendations made to con-,
grees by President Wilson.
It Is believed by members of the com
mittee that the Gard bill, coupled a Itn
the proposed cold storage legislation,
covers quite completely . all proposals
that could be made by the committee to
the house; by way of remedy for existing
conditions, and they are prepared to
.rush action on these measures.
Influences of cold storage on the high

Is stated (that if the materials had been

Mr, Holman would have been in excess
