CALIFORNIA CHEESE IS POOR
California is shipping its poor quality cheese
to Portland, but is finding little sale for it be
cause even the poorest Oregon available here is
said to be better than the- best southern stock.
Cheese trade steady for good stuff.
BUTTER SITTJATIQX 18 MIXED
- Mixed opinions are shown hi the butter trade
bare. While: many sre inclined to believe that
the bottom has either been reached or about to
be shown,' others feel that still further loss will
be forced. . t .';
A8TOHIA5 BCT8 PRODUCE HERE
Astoria is taking carload supplies of produce
tn Portlsnd at . this time. Ralph Moody, who
own the Imperial Market, and Moody's at As
toria and afoudy's at Seaside, wa making up
carload shipments for his firms yesterday.
By Hjnaa H. Cokea
Vegetables prices continue to drop In
the wholesale and retail markets and
consumers are getting the advantage
f greater output and shipments.
Because California cabbage shippers
are fighting for business in the Portland
market, consumers here are benefited by
lower prices. There are said to be six
or seven carloads of California cabbage
on the track ,at Portland. These are
what are termed "rollers" In the trade,
and have not yet been sold. They are
generally shipped to this city and di
verted to other pacific Northwest points
if buyers, can be secured at better prices.
Cabbage prices have been lowered
quite liberally recently and , alone with
the lower price comes an improvement
in the quality of the California offer
ings. Of course the southern stock can
not be compared with Oregon cabbage
as regards i quality, but as the season
for the home cabbage , will not be open
for some time, consumers must purchase
the . poorer stock if they want cabbage
at. all.; ,. :? ; u j : i
7 The following prices are average ones that
consumers are expected to pay retail stores.
Quality noted is the average, fancy stuff being
slightly higher and inferior stuff fractionally
lower. . !

PREMIUM OFFERED
II
SALMON SUPPLIES
Premiums are f being ;i offered for
Chinook salmon by packers as well as
by wholesale" fresh fish dealers' at
Columbia, river- points. There is an ex
treme scarcity of fish being offered at
this time and the demand is far. in ex
cess flf offerings. .'
Whfls prices offered by eanner were atand
ardixed some time age at meeting at Astoria.
Peckers are said to be paying premiums of lc
tea 1 till pound above the prices agreed upon.
Cepetition tot fish between the fresh fish and
the packing interests is keen anduheKnen are
by no mean , slow about taking advantage of
the situation.'
Regarding the general fish situation, C 3. B.
Malarkey of the Portland, Fish company ad-
On account of the unusual demand for the
sprmg run of salmon in the Columbia river and
its tributary, the Willamette, the price has
been boosted by the canners and the Whole
salers are obliged to charge the aatail trade
from 20c to 22c The difference ia price de
pending en the siae and quality of fish.
"Shad this season, so far, has been very
scarce and same is wholesaling to the trad at
from 8c to 10c for roe shad and fte to 8e
for dressed-shad. .. t .
"Halibut in better supply and prices sua from
12 He to 20c, depeeding on the sixe. -
"So called salmosi trout, which have been
quite plentiful in that market up to the present
week, have been scarce on account of a ruling
by the fish commission of the state of Wash,
togton decreasing the Siae of the nets from 1200J
to 1BU leet to not over 600 feeW- . We think
this a good law, as these so called sastnon trout
are only little salmon and they should, be allowed
to mature,- It is no wonder salmon are getting
seareer every year oh Puget Round, far these
conditions should not be allowed;
"Demand for raxor clams Is light, as during
the warm weather people do not seem to care for
them. Plenty of crabs in the market at 83 50
for selected large, and 82.50 for medium. The
crab fishermen seem to hare the situation well
in hand, and although the supply seems to be
large, there does not seem to be an indication
of drop In prices. , - i
"Little . neck claim,; or what is known as the
hard h?l) Clam in the market, are out, of sea
son, as same is closed until September 1. De
nusad for salt and smoked fiib is picking ap a
little."'

Tide water millers are not anxiously
seeking supplies of wheat at the moment.
Premiums for soft and hard wheats are
coming closer together.' there being as
a rule only about 5c additional offered
for the hard wheat than for the soft.
Ia fact, some of- the Brills are unwilling to
pay 1 any greater premium for the - hard red
wheats' than for the club and similar varieties.
Club has been - commanding around 65c a
bushel - premium recently, but bard - wheat - - is
not finding bidders above 60c at the moment. ,
While millers . appear to agree that the wheat
situation is of -" good character, still most of
them appear willing to close their season's work
as soon as possible, of even before the govern
ment lets go of its control.
With milling operations restricted, the demand
for millfeeds continues to grow, and for deferred
deliveries higher price are being asked generally.

New , Tork, May 13. Stocks ; were
heavy all day and closed at the low
prices in nearly every .issue. The losses
were not large except in a few of the
speculative - favorites. The ' decline
seemed to be due more' to the lack of,
support than to any aggressive selling.
Dealers in textiles, report ; that their
banks are warning them to prepare for
a panic not the little banks, but the
big Wail street i banks, . Literature Is
being circulated industriously by statis
tical bureaus. There seems to be unani
mous agreement that Jl panic would be
ajgood thing to have.
T3ven travelers who return from trips
through tire, agricultural regions report
a strange inactivity on the part of the
farmers. . Farmers have apparently, read
what the statisticians have to say and
are convinced that nothing will grow,
anyhow, so what's the use of planting?
Meantime,- the mad marking up of
rents continues, and - brokers who- re
fuse to renew leases at $5 and IS square
foot for offices are being compelled to
pay from that price up to $9 for accom
modations. . -Money was . marked Up to
10 per cent again.
The fact that, all the stocks acted
alike seemed to indicate that the trouble
with the stock market was the money
rate. Part -of .the trouble with the
money rate is explained in The Cashier,
a magazine published by the Cashiers'
section. Association of Stock Exchange
Firms. In this month's issue it says:
"For years the stock exchange had a
money post, at which money Was dealt
in according to supply and demand.
"Now when brokers require funds
their demands v are handed to a bank
representative on the floor,' who deals
out the money as he deems fit or as his
principal directs. Conditions such as
brokers balance or - supplies from in
dependent sources can find no market."
Furnished by Overbeck St Cooke Co,
Chicago "Tribune It was aaid at the
close yesterday- that the corn market
was more nearly evened op than at any
time in months. Heavy selling was. on
by a few of the largest local longs which
satisfied the shorts. A feature of the
late trading -was heavy buying of corn
and selling of oata by houses with ex
tensive eastern connections.
