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.

(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.

Oats followed corn on the upturn and closed
with net gains of 1 1 c Provision allowed

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.

COLORED DUCKS AltE SLOW SALE
While there was a slow tone indicated generally
in the market for ducks along the street with
an ataost entire absence of Pekins, colored
ducks are in rather liberal supply with sales hard
to confirm at 25c.
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.

layed. Only jn scattered, sections of both
wheat belts has the plowing been normal.
Movements of wheat off farms has been de
layed by car shortage. Threshing from stack
has been general, with yields spotted.

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.
Both these fiuns were given hearing before
P. F, Piazzek, second vice president of the
United States Grain corporation at Kansas City.

Hogs were just about steady with un
changed price3 for the day. 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.

North Portland has not yet recovered from its
severe cut of about $1.25 in the swine market
Monday. Over night there was a nominal sup
ply reported in and while there were no tran
