tbey announced that the tmtterfat vain would
be off le pound more then print butter. Tbi
in usually a sign of increasing wikn!, 1
though at the moment it mart be confessed
that the weakness is more in the mi than en
etual fact. ! ,
Seemingly creamery men are of the opinion
(hat it would be better for all concernil -na
areata leas disturbaiM?e if they would force
the prW of i butter down gradually vn dur
in period when no special decline wa ealled
for. They would prefer doing thin than -upsetting
the market-completely at a future data
by forcing a ricioua drop in price all at once.

Consumers may not have to pay as
high a price for their canning: as had

canning Interests say'that the price is
too dangerous for them and for that rea

Apple trees are in blossom and do not seem
to have been damaged much by the cold, weather,
while peaches seem to have been damaged con

very little. I
Roseburg Weather aartng past 10 days has

Both fall and spring wheat making good growth.
All fruit trees and berry bushes are looking
very promising and are practically out ot danger

at this time of the year.
Medfonl Weather during past two weeka has
been very favorable. Small graina have a
healthy color and are making good growth, dug
to the warm weather. .
Apples and pears are doing exceptionally well,
the cool weather during the early part of April
putting them back somewhat, but since the
warm weather baa come they are in bloom and
are considerably ! heavier than last year. Indica

CANNED
SALMON
TO OPEN AT RISE
, That canned salmon prices will open
at least 10c a doaen higher than a year
ago alone the Columbia river, is the
opinion expressed by the trade in gen
eral. The advance . is most likely to
appear in the better grade fish because
of the threatened world shortage of that
grade. ' .
, A year ago Columbia river ' Chinook taH
opened at $3.15 and were quickly cleaned np
at that and resales were made during the aeasea
at a substantial advance. It is generally expected
that at the next meet Ins of the Balmoa club
that Chinook tails-' will open up the season at
not less thsn $3.25, while some expect opening
values on thia to be at least $8.30 or $3.35
per dozen. i ' I
Because of the expectations of a very short
pack on both Puget Sound and in Alaska this
season, the better grade fish is likely to show
a far greater demand than offerings; especially
a there has been none of that fish in cancers
hands for many months.
On the other hand it is expected that while
the cheaper quality fish will show no advance
over last year's opening, because of the fact that
stocks en hand are unusually heavy, still with
a small pack in prospect, this may Improve the
market eves for that grade

"With a farther scarcity of sapplles,
local millers have advanced their q po
tations f 1 to IS a toa. Sales are shows
as high as 12 49 at a toa. j
,WIth many of the leading grain inter
ests en route to San Frsvnciaco to attend
the foreign trade conference, there is lit
tle activity to note In the local market
at the opening of the week.
Demand for wheat continues to show an acute
situation. While the demand recently 'has been
confined almost exclusively to the soft varieties,
such as club, indications were that millers were
beginning to take on hard wheat.
With continued demand for hard whVat from
the East, and with a ahort crop in prospect
throughout the conntry, the present price is
considered fully in line with conditions.

INVESTORS REFUSE
TO GET PANICKY
IN STOCK MARKET
VBj Broadsn Wall
'New York, May. 10. -The) sudden
reappearance in life in the stock
market Saturday suggests that Reds
of Wall street may have driven the
investors too fast in their wild de
sire to. create a panic. There is a
short interest of considerable im
portance and Investors are scare
proof.- ' , .; : t-
, Loans are lower than at any time since
the war began in Europe. The so-called
laboring class is beginning to i realise
that reduced proCtictlorT means higher
cost of living and the men are not so
eager to strike .as-they were ; a few
rhonths ago.. They Realise that they are
suffering in common with everybody
and that they are profiteering as much
as the corporations. j . '
PUBLIC WANTS REFORM
The public is determined that the ex
change shall be reformed and although
the path of the reform is plain and rea
sonable, the governors refuse to walk in
It. Their only act in defense of the un
fair tax which will defeat itself by its
own grotesqueness is te start a cam
paign of "education" of the public
. By writing off JO per cent from all
prices in his stores, John Wanamaker
has called public attention to the large
profits that retailers have been getting.
The' average retailer has to get a profit
of 80 per cent above wholesale prices in
order to pay running expenses and de
liveries. 1 Taking all classes of goods,
the average retail price Is Juat about
double the wholesale. Therefore if
prices can be marked 'down 20 per cent
and still leave a large margin of profit,
by starting this reform Wanamaker has
done a public service and has (crowded
his stores with thousands of customers,
RICH HOLD STOCKS ,
Transactions on the floor of the ex
change have been - reduced - to less than
100,000 shares a day of real business If
the purely speculative trades are count
, Od OUt. :.'
v- Rich men hold the stocks and they
have taken them with some misgiving.
Prices have ceased to have any relation
to value. The market is in condition to
swing widely in either direction, accord
ing to the impulse'glven to it by public
sentiment which is now all powerful.
Which direction the swing will be seems
at the moment a pure guess. The only
reason for believing- the next Important
movement will be upward is that the
public is usually wrong in its estimate
of market movement..
