Newspaper Page Text21 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORT LAND, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER' It, 1919. YAKIMA GRABS ENTIRE PACIFIC NORTHWEST POTATO TRADE FRESH EGG TRADING ON NOMINAL BASIS; MANIPULATORS RULE Are Not. at All Interested in Local Product, Except to Get the Prlee to a Basis Where the , Public Mast Purchase Speculators Stocks. Public Is Bumped In Egg Trade Law Regarding Sale of Storage Slock Openly Violated in Market. Fresh egg shippers are somewhat dis appointed at the slow sale of their, pro duct at the extreme, high prices quoted. Borne of the ofganiied growers, are veiy sore renardinsr the present situation, . it belnff figured by them that thy are beinp used us a utility to aid .the specu lative Interests In boosting the price of fresh eggs so that the demand will all be thrown into the eastern and cold storage product ; to the financial benefit of the speculators exclusively. It in one of those situation whereby he dealer In. hical eg and the .producer here get the wort of the bargain. Reports indicate that the high price boosters of fresh egm. are in reality buying only a nominal supply at the extreme Tallies just to keep up appearances while they force the xclusive handler of Oregon esrg to pile up trouble for himself In trying to get from under. The big fellowa are not at all ' interested in fresh eags there is far more money in the storage and eastern product. Odd-storage holding. of eggs on September 1 in the United States showed an increase o! 1,44 7.908 cam, or 23.5 per cent over Sep tember 1, 1918, while the holdings of frozen eggs increased 1 788.4-16, or 32 3 per cent, ac cording to fignlee made public today by the bureau of market, of the department of agri culture. There wa an Increase of 32,875,762 pound, or 32.6 per cent, in the amount of creamery butter and of 1.7S8.416 posed, or 33 per cent in the amount of packing stock of butter held in storage on September 1 of this year. Dairy i produce receipts at Portland Monday : BUTTER Pounds California looo Oregon Washington (By Hjmaa H. Cohen) The public Is being "trimmed" to the extent of many thousands of dollars In the purchase, of eggs. They are being "trimmed" In absolute violation of the laws and as yet there are no visible signs among the officials to enforce the rules and protect the. people. Cold storage eggs and inferior quality stock are being sold daily in great num bers to the public at huge prices. The law says that the retailer or whole saler must not sell storage eggs unless the package In which they are sold is plainly marked "storage eggs." This law appears to be a dead letter here and manipulators are taking full advantage of the situation. The practice of selling storage eggs as fresh eggs has been shown here for a number of years but it could easily be1 stopped if the slightest effort was made by officials to enforce the laws already enacted. Those desiring special information regarding any market, should write the Market Editor, enclosing stamp for reply. Highest Trade Is ' Shown in Chicago By Jotvh V. Prltchard Chicago, Sept. lti. (I. N. S.)--rFinal corn Prices were at generous gains from the previous finish with September at $1.40 54 1.40 ; De cember, $1.22 1.23, and May. $1.21 1.21H. Oats followed corn on the upturn and closed with net gains of 1 1 c Provision allowed a good rally lata in sympathy with the grains. YAKIMA FLOOD NG LOCA RACE WITH IS LT SUPPLY OF POTATOES Local Growers Arc Showing Little Disposition to Sell at Competitive Prices, and Eastern Washington Is Finding Iiig Call Here. Yakima is flooding Portland and other Pacific Northwest centers with potatoes while Oregon growers are slaving little disposition to dispose of their stock. Average sales cf choice stock ia ihe Yakima section are shown around $2 per cental in carload lots with as high as $2.25 reported in a limited way f o. b. cars for something of selected quality. r A. J. Dtadia of Hindi & Son. commission merchants, here, has jut returned from the Takima section, traveling through the Wapato, Toppenish end Sunnyside districts, and reports that a great outward movement of potatoes is on there. "While the potato crop In the Taklrfi sec tion appears good," says Mr. IMndia, "it is not heavy. Owing to the heavy orders from other sections as well as the rain which deferred delivery, sellers there are somewhat slow about filling orders." V. I. Swank of this city, who is also a big handler of Yakima as well as local stock, re ports the movement from the north somewhat restricted by the rains and this has stimulated prices there slightly. Onions Rushed To Market Here To Supply Trade Small supplies of Oregon oalafli are being rushed forward to supply a famished trade here, according to.W. I. wank, general telling representa tive of the Confederate association. Owing to the rains and the fact that few Oregon onions have yet been placed in the bosses. It has een found Impossible to offer In carload lots, and little business Is therefore expected for about 18 days or two weeks. Initial sales In small lots by the association, are aroand $4.50 per cen tal, Portland, but expectations are for the carload market to, open around $25 per cental, f. o. b. country stations.

SMALL HENS ARE ItATHER WEAK Market for small sized hens is ratiier alow and with depression here and there noted but there Is a steady June for heavy bens. Springs are allowing a fair demand with no price changes generally. VEAL MARKET SHOWS ADVANCES Country killed calves are generally ',i c a pound hither in the Front street trade with a scarcity of offerings here during the 24 hours while demand was keen. Sales of tops up to 25 He a pound. Hogs are weaker and lower with severe cut in livestock. BUTTER MARKET RULING WEAKER While no change is ' shown in the trade for prints and Talues there are stationary, cube but ter is inclined toward extreme dullness; in fact there has been scarcely any demand here during tho 4 8 hours. HOP CROP -VERY DISAPPOINTING Very disappointing returns are coming from the hup fields of the state. Heavy yields have ' not been expected but Uie picking to date is far below forecasts. Practically no trading is shown although there are many wild offefs reported made to those who will not sell at any price. Chicago. Sept 16. (I. N, a) Corn started Me lower to lie higher today. Trade was not large with commission nouses on both sides. The principal sellers were commission houses which had shorts yesterday. Oats trade at the start was comparatively light with prices ranging from c lower to H c higher than yesterday's close. Commission bouses were on both sides. Locals did practi cally nothing. Provisions were practically .unchanged at the start. Trade was light and confined to de ferred deliveries. This feeling was encouraged by the decline in hogs.

Spots Sales, good Owing to the fact that the leading mills here are not being operated, there is a temporary scarcity of millfeed offer ings on the local market, and prospects are not for any material increase in offerings within the immediate future. Scarcity of stocks has again caused strength in the local mill"tuff price, millran being quoted generally at $33(39 a ton in lots at the flants, while a short time ago sales were mode 1 to $2 a ton below this range. T'liTe continues a general lack of interest tn all cereals in the local trade, and country centers aie likewise rflectinj this condition. The United States food administration an nounces through the offices of, the United United States Craln corporation, at Kansas City. Istration license rf the H. H. Watson company of Long View, Texas, has been revoked until further notice on account of their neglect to secure a license und;r the wheat director, and their failure to appear when summoned and show cause for such neglect. Also the food administration license of the Officer Smith Grain company of Fort Worth, Texas, has been revoked until further notice on account of unfair and deceptive practices, and therefore no wheat director license has been issued to fiiis firm.

S.V- Although gains at the stock market opening ioday ranged frum fractions to 3 points, the advances were not maintained and some stocks fell to below last night's -closing levels. Baldwin Locomotive, after opening up 1 Vi at 136 Vs. had a quick reaction to 133 and Bethlehem Steel B, after advancing one to 94. soon lost this gain.

Weakness was rather severe in the sheeo division with lower prices indicated while in the cattle alleys the trade was less favor able. Total run was only four cars over night, therefore there was not much fresh stock to force the market one way or the other. The huge supply in the sheep and lamb alleys at the start of the week has continued a de moralizing feature in the trade. Killers appear to hive suddenly made np their minds that they have been paying too much for this stock and they practically remained away from the market during the 4 8 hours, the only stock weighed np aside from the contracted stuff, being a very nominal eupplyat lower prices.
