CARPET OF WHEAT IS SPREADING OVER CENTRAL OREGON
ACTIVE TONE SHOWN
FOR POTATOES IN,
THE LOCAL MARKET
Values Remain Steady to Firm With
No Channe Noted for the Day
Heavy Shipments Made Throughout
the Country for Seasoa to Date.
Trade In the potato market continues
active here with practically -no country
movement reported at Willamette val
ley points because of the shortage of
offering; and the lack pf transporta
tion facilities.
Huge marketing of potatoes has been
shown to Jate throughout the United
States, It being figured that up to this
time there has been twice the volume of
potato shipped throughout the nation
as has been' consumed. This means that
someone, somewhere. In storing.
While km local dealers art talklnf of
hither price offered for poutoei at country
point and report their inability to aeour
uppliei at tlie value quoted, it to a fact that
von on the East Hide Farmer' market good
atork waa bein- offered bjr the grower at $2.40
per cental, which meant approximately I2.2S
.at country jtoinU. t
Some imppliea arc again coming forward

Front street has a Japanese menace
all its own these days, for already two
commission houses have been started by
the little bro-wn men and reports indicate
that they are trying to buy out other
firms because of their inability to se
cure locations at this time in the pro
duce district
Vront street wholesalers are somewhat
alarmed regarding the -situation because
of the great number of Japanese grow
ers In this section and along the Colum
bia river who are expected to support
their own houses rather than ship to
those owned by the white men.
One of the features of the trade Is
that many white producers are also
shipping to the Japanese nouses, because
in their effort to grab control or the
trade, they are accepting a fractionally
decreased commission for handling coun
try -produce.

Chicago Market Is
Off at Opening
By Joseph W. Prltchard
Chicago. Not. 12 (1. N. ,s.)Th ab
normally high money market in Wall street,
the break In many of the securities there and
the big decline in cotton, caused heavy selling
of gtain and prices were lower for the entire
list Closings were at declines of 2 c for
December corn. 1 c for January, 1 2 " c
for May and 1 ifn 2c for July.
Oat were lower, December losing c
and May declining H H c
Hog pTixlticts were lower, including fiBc for
pork. TOc for lard gnd 40(M2 4c for rib.
Chicago. Not. 12 (I N. 8.) Opening corn
prices were off ( S c today. Selling was
of a general character, induced by cheaper hogs,
lower stock and cotton markets, fine weather
and further loss in foreign exchange rate.
Oats started He lower on local selling, in
duced by the weakness In corn. On the break
there wa buying by bulls. Trade was slow.
Provision opened 7 H c lower for nba and
25c off for lard. Trade waa slow.
Central Oregon today has a better
wheat crop prospect for the coming sea
son than for a number of years past.
Word to that effect has been brought to
Portland by 'Billy" Oarrett, the well
known salesman of Wadhams & Co., who
always has something really ,good . to
say of the interior.
In Sherman, Gilliam, Wasco, Morrow and
Wheeler counties, as well as
country around Madras, the
in the Deschutes
prospects are ex
cellent. There has been a rather liberal rain- j C grade. $1.15.
Portland is the highest market for p
ples in the entire country and is far
above others in producing sections. Not
withstanding this fact, this city Is not
securing the quality stock sent to other
districts and much complaint is heard
by the trade. There is a growing call
for quality shipments from California
and other centers for the holiday trade.
While much low priced stock is being sold
at Portland, the same condition is shown in
practically every market of the United States,
but the aTierage price here ia better than in
sections which are favored by quality ship
ments from the Pacific Northwest. ,
Much of the lose in eastern price is dde to
tbe enormous consignment from the Pacific
Northwest.
Primary markets show:
Grand Junction, Colo. Hauling decreasing.
Demand and movement moderate, market steady.

fall in Central Oregon this season and with the
exception of the Madras country, 'where work
is now going on steadily, in planting the fall
winter area is well UP and the hill are one
mas of green with a-rery eien stand. In the
Madras country seeding operations were some
what delayed but growers there are now work
ing day and night to get In their crop.
Throughout Central Oregon plowing 1.. con
tinued and in addition to the very liberal '!
winter area already planted, that section will
likely put. in a good spring acreage.
Demand 'or milling oat is very favorable here
and while then is little activity noted in leed
OBI, the all for the better grade stufi at a
premium, is the best of the season to date.
Broomhall cabled:
Argentine weather conditions hare been very
favorable for the start of the new croD and
although no figures are available, we expect to 1
see a goon crop plan tea. )W reserres of com
are still rery large, from-"00,000,000 bushels
to 120.000,000 bushels. It may be that the
southern grower may ohfin a full surplu from
the new crop, about 180,000.000 bushels, giv
inc a f-ombined exportable surplus of both old
and new corn or around 280,000.000 bushels.
It. must be remembered, however. tht the new 1
crop of corn must stiil paab through many vicis- '
situaes. ana it would be prudent not to take
too optimistic a view of the prospective outturn
of the new crop until the crop ha made fur
ther progress. At any rate the Argentine holds
sufficient corn to satisfy all probable demands
from foreign interests and still have a sub
stantial carry over at the end of the crop year.
If prices in United States continues firm a
fair trade with that country is anticipated.
India The new crop prospect are generally
favorable, as weather has been good and seed
ings were under satisfactory conditions. At
present the outlook can be considered very
promising, although more rain is needed in the
Punjaub.
