Real ,; fancy creamery butter la ex
tremely scarce at this time in the local
irade and practically no cubes testing
' 92 score are available In the Front street
Jobbing trade. Beports have indicated
hat the best cubes available have sold
at BV6o pound, but this is probably a
mistake, for no reily fancy butter 1
available in cubes at the moment. Some
thing that would "grade 92 score or bet
ter would probably sell at a still higher
price.

OUT OF THE MARKET
RUINING PEACHES OF WILLAMETTE VALLEY '
Veql Too High in
Local Trade
Values Quoted on Dressed Stoek
Above Live Basis.
By Hrroii H, Cohei
While there has been some excuse re
cently for the higft price in effect for
veal calves In the Front street trade.
the present record figures quoted for
supplies are considered out of reason as
compared with both the livestock price
and the value of other meats.
Retailers have evidently come to this
conclusion, for they have been very
limited buyers of calves in the whole
sale trade during the last few days.
The fact that the hide market is badly
unsettled with practically 'no demand at
the moment and prospects for extreme
price shading, means that veal prices
must be lowered. If they are not the
butchers would be compelled to charge
the public such outrageous figures for
supplies that there would be practically
no demand and this in itself would force
declining values.
While Front street is asking these ex
treme values, which are far beyond the
livestock basis at the moment, the
profits are secured by the country ship
per. Those desiring special information regarding
an? marekt, should write the market editor.

PEACH MARKET HAS
A STEADY TONE FOR
GOOD STOCK LOCALLY
Best Crawfords, Elbertas and lluirs
Selling Up to 80e to 90e Box for
Large Sizes Valley Stoek Drags
Because of the Dry Rot.
Very heavy shipments of peaches are
being made from the Pacific Northwest
at this time, shipments having reached
their maximum for- the season In some
districts.
Much stock is going to the east and
central west from the Pacific Coast but
there are Increasing arrivals at" Portland
from practically all sections.
Prices in general are somewhat stead
ier after the shock of the Tuesday
market. ,
Sales of best Crawfords and Mulrs were be
ing made in the Portland trade during the 24
hours around 80 99c a box. and this price
waa also obtained for the larger sized Elbertas.
Crawfords are disappearing from the trade, but
the offerings of Elbertas maks up for the de
ficiency. Willamette valley stock is dragging, with
sales down to SOc a box. although some se
lected fr.iit has sold as high as 70 9 75c. Dry
rot is playing havoc with the valley stock, and
this forces receivers to dispose of arrivals as
quickly as possible in order to save growers
from ruin.

Purchase by the government of a large
quantity of flour frorn Pacific Northwest
millers for September delivery, has
livened up the situation Bomewhat'
Cereals showed a quiet tone at country
points owing to the sharp declines in the
Chicago trade during the day.
Fall wheat sowing is becoming more general
in the interior, although practically all operations
are on summer fallowed land. - Indications are
pointing- to a Tery heavy acreage this season, not
only in Oregon, but in other Pacific Northwest
states.
Edward L. Wells of the Portland office of the
weather bureau, in his last bulletin for the sea
son says: Threshing continues in most sections,
but in some localities is complete. Very little
plowing lor winter wheat has been done, owing
to the soil being too - dry, but in Wasco county
some wheat has been sown on summer . fallowed
land. Corn needs rain, and in some localities
will be Tery ooor croti. but in others it is ap
proaching normal maturity, and promises good
yields.
Gathering of pears, peaches, early apples and !
evergreen blackberries continues, with results !
generally ' satisfactory except that unirritatel
fruit is small. Winter apples are growing well
in moat commercial apple district. Picking of
prunes has been completed in some eastern lo
calities, is in progress in Southern Oregon, and
will begin in the Willamette valley this week.
Some third crop alfalfa has been cut in Uma
tilla county. Alfalfa, wher well watered, is doing
well. Pastures and ranges continue very dry.
and report of thin stock are coming from many
localities. Some stock is being brought in earlier
than, usual, owing to lack of feed and water on
the range.
Hoppicking is in progress in Clackamas county,
and will begin in Polk county this week. Potatoes
are mostly -mature; some have ripened prema
turely owing to the drought Tomaoes. beans,
cucumbers and meons continue pentiftt in sec
tions where drought is not too severe.

POLICY NOT ANTI-SEMITIC
Powerless to Prevent' Hanging
and Beating of Bolshevists
By Relatives of Their Victims.
Budapest, Sept. 8. (I. N. 8j.)
Premier Stephen Friedrich declared
today that he will remain1 In power
until the Hungarian general election,
despite any wishes of the entente to
the contrary and the. reports that h
was ready to" retire.
A large section of the Hungarian peo
ple is said to be insistent that Premier
Friedrich resign because of the oppc- -sltion
to him in Paris.
CLAIMS PEOPLE'S SUPPORT
"I ' intend to remain in office until
the election, for I know a great majority
of all parties is behind me despite the
fact that the entente will not recognise
me," said Friedrich. "I merely ask
that rhy government be tolerated until
the Hungarians can freely express their
wls'pes. I am quite wlrting that depur
tatlon of Socialists from all of the allied
countries should supervise the Hun
garian elections to see that they are con
ducted fairly.
"The election results will demonstrate
that those who attack me are mis
taken." POLICY NOT ANTI-SEMITIC
Asked if his government policy was
anti-Semitic the premier replied: ,
"It is untrue to cay. that it is. I pre
serve a perfectly open' and liberal mind
on Jewish questions."
The premier waa then told that stories
of whits terrorism were being circulated
and was asked what measures the gov
ernments was taking" to suppress them.
Friedrich replied :
"The government has done everything
to prevent the hanging and beating of
Bolshevists, but you must remember that
the Bolshevists tortured and murdered
hundreds of Innocent parents. It is only
natural that their relatives want to re
venge themselves, but we do the best
we can to prevent it"
ASKED ABOUT BOTJMA9IA
"Is there any truth in the report that
the Roumanians are behind you?" Fried
rich was asked. He retorted :
"They are neither behind us nor be
fore us, but are In our midst."
Premier Friedrich waa then reminded
that the Hungarians do not want a re
turn Of the Hapsburgs and asked for his
own opinion upon the disposition of the
throne. He answered :
"I am willing to carry out to the ut
most limit the wlshee of the Hungarian
people,"
Further reports of the beating and
massacre of Jews in the provinces lieve
reached BudapesL It la said that many
women and children have fled from their
homes, hiding In corn fields and forests
In fear of their lives. There is evidence
that whole families, from the grand
mother down to the youngest child, have
(been wiped out-
ALLIED WEAKNESS MAY
BRING AMERICAN WITHDRAWAL
Parts, Sept. J. (I. N. 8.) General
Bandholts, American member of the
inter-allied military mission at Buda
pest, will be withdrawn from the Hun
garian capital unless the allies quickly
adopt a stlffer attitude towards Rou
manla. it was stated on high authority
here today. ,
The latest rumor reaching the su
preme council from Bucharest is that
Roumanla now plans a separate peace
with Hungary without heea.ng the ,
council.
The Americans hold that the" United
States is not concerned over Roumanla
except that the continued feebleness
of. the entente's policy in that direction
might encourage Germany and Other
powers to offend. Roumanla and risk
the loss of her oil products.
Pope Hopes That
Workers May Have
Demands Granted
Paris, Sept 3,t-(L N. S.) A letter to
Cardinal Luoon of Rhaims. from Cardi
nal Gasparri, the papal secretary of ,
state at Borne, says: '
"The proletariat having taken the pre- '
ponderant part in the war now wants
greater rewards in every country. Un
fortunately to their own detriment, the
workers often Indulge In excesses, up
setting the social order decreed by ,
human nature itself. The pope hopes
that the workers' Just demands , will
be granted in order to avoid such ex
cesses." , Estafcllshad Over n Tesff ,
