Cohen Fears ,are expressed by some of the leaders of the local trade that unless Oregon state officials get more quickly on the job, the industry here will be com pletely ruined by the shipment of in fected stock from other states. For years Oregon has been practically a dumping ground for all the inferior and Infected potatoes that the north and south could find a place to store here. While state officials have attempted to keep this stock out, they have been badly handicapped In the work because of the lack of adequate funds. Japanese growers of the Yakima sec tion are reported the latest offenders against the horticultural laws of Oregon and a number of carloads of what Is said to be badly Infected stock, have been received and distributed among the trade here. Market for potatoes is showing a strong- tone with J3 ruling for good quality and large sizes although some business Is shown as high as J3.25 per cental. Those desiring special information regarding any market should write the Market Editor Oregon Journal, enclosing stamp for reply. Chicago Trade Is Generally at Loss By JOSEPH F. PRITCHSRD Chicago. Sept. 10. (I. N. 8.) The grain markets closed lower for the day, and while there was some reaction from the bottom fig ures, these reactiona failed to hold. Keating spots were at losses of 1 2c for September. lorn, Hi 1 He for rVcember and (Sic for May. Oat were off, declining 18H4. Pork was unchanged to Hoc higher, lard was 5 22 He lower and ribs unchanged to 5c lower to - hi c higher. Chicago, Sept. 10. (I. N. 8.) With the weakness in hogs everting a depressing influenre on the market, corn started tc higher to c lower today. At the start there was scattered cclline by iocal commission houses. Strong com mission houses appear to want December on resting orders around 128H.- Oats orieried easier in sympathy with rorn. Early selling was mostly local, commission house absorbing the bulk of the offerings. Trade via not large. Provisions opened slightly lower. Trade was limited and without feature.

While cheese from various Oregon Washington districts is still obtainable below the prices asked by Tillamook, the latter section is showing a steady tone generally. Efforts to Interest the export trade in the Northwest product are futile for the reason that prices on the Coast are far above those of the Atlantic seaboard, which also has the advantage of lower freight rates. The Wisconsin cheese market opened rather quiet and as a consequence in most cases asking prices were lowered so that a fair movement was noticed toward the week end bnt at decidedly lower price thin were first asked. Most sales were yy close, in some in.'tancfe) large dealers with packer connections were reported quoting and selling freely at Plymouth market Wiscon sin's apparent trade output for the week ending September 6 was 7.4S0.8S6, a decrease under the pruvfous week of 987, S54 pounds. At Chi cago a good deal af improvement was noted, esjie cially toward the end of the week. Dealers were compelled to lower prices in order to meet Wis consin competition. New York reported market lirm and active all week especially in a jobbing way. Trices held fairly steady with flats showing a slight advance and Young-American lower. Some export demand was noted. Boston showed a fairly active market all week especially on under priced cheese, iair quality twins brought 31 He and Young Americas sold from 34c to 34 He. Very few fancy cheese available but owing to the asking price for this clais of goods the demand is not actiTe. The trading was largely on New York state make. The dealers do not appear to like present prices and are buvina mostly small lots, Philadelphia market opened firm and active on Tuesday with Daisies and I.onghorns ad vancing 14 c per pound, with a fair demand for under gTade flats at from 2!c to 31c. On Wednesday the trading slowed up and the market declined somewhat.

Hopgrowers will benefit by the rain, said Rory Palmer, a leading Lane county crower today. Although some fields that were well advanced may be damaged slightly, crops that were, still green will be in creased through added growth of the Tines, he said. llop-piekioai was about to start when tbe storm began. A few days of clear weather will be a signal for a general harvest. HOME CAXXERIES ARE t'SABLE TO GET A SUGAR SUPPLY Eugene, Sept. 10. Not a pound of sncar was obtainable in any of the local wholesale houses yesterday. Not all ol the retailers pos sessed a supply of tbe sweet commodity. The few who did limited customers to one package containing twenty-five centa worth. One store sold fifty cents worth with each grocery order. Jobbers said they did not know when further stocks would arrive, the general shortage on the Pacific coast preventing filling orders placed weeks ago. Canning of fall fruits and berrle suffers a serious inconvenience, but housewives will use syrup until the sugar shortage is relieved. CRACKED FRUXES CAX BE SAVED IF DRIED QUICKLY September 10. County Fruit Inspector E. C Armstrong reports that no damage to the rmnss will result from the recent heavy rains. Mr. Armstrong advises the prune men to take particular pains to pick the ripe prunes as soon as they show signs of cracking, or drop, and that in this way there will be no loss from the storm. Prunes thst have slightly cracked will dry all right, and should be taken care of at once. HERRITS-e A I'D SARDUSES IX THE ROGUE CATCH HEAVT Reedsport, Sept. 10. There are big runs of herring and sardines in the lower t"oipqa river now and large catches are made. Tbe sardines are canned by the Reedsport Fiah company and it is expected to turn out a large quantity of that variety of canned fish this season. YAKIMA HOP GROWERS ARE IX NEED OF MORE MEX Yakima. Sept. 10. A shortage of help in the hop picking is reported here this week. Rich ard Strobach took up the matter with Lawrence Wood, state director of the federal employment service and received the assurance that enough help would be beaded this way by the last of the week to meet all requirements. The hop harvest will bs in swing by the end of the week if help can be liad to work in the yards. It was esti mated at the beginning of the harvest that 4000 men would be needed. Very few are arriving now and growers are getting anxious. FARM SUNSHINE Medford, Or., Sept. I.

' EXORBITANT PHONE CHARGES "I am certain that the present rates charged by the telephone company the Burleson rates are void," said Tomllnson. "Thpy will have to be re funded. Meanwhile, everyone wishes to know what to do with these bills that keep arriving at the end of the month. "There are two things to do with the Mils. One Is pay m and wait for tho refjii'I. already promised by the company. The other method Is, pay the old mte and wait to see what happens. 1 followed the second method. Nothing, has bappened yet." Tomllnson advised the women to have a representative present at the hearings lefore tho public eervlee commission soon to be resumed. He agreed that abuses were prevalent.

The change cost them about JO cents in material and a half an hour Of one man's work." ' A report by Mrs. F. O. Northrop, chairman of the committee on public markets, brought the discussion back to that subject. "We have succeeded In having gar bnge cans placed at appropriate inter vals throughout the market limits." said Mrs. Northrup, "In obtaining the enforcement of more respectful atten tion from produce vendors toward ths purchaser, in having goods carefully graded, ard in having the side stripped off corn that Is offered for sale.
