J MARJCET EeASKET Refusal' of the consumer to pay 25 cents or rnore per pound tor sugar hu lessened the demand to such an extent that the price is on t he toboggan. Wholesale prices took their, third slump for this week on Friday, when a bO cent decline was announced by the re fineries. This makes a total, decline cf $1 for the week. Wholesalers believe that the market is now definitely on the down grade. Saturday's wholesale price is 5230. r The United States market is the, high est in the world today., Kven Euroie, where a shortage' of sugar i said to exist, is shipping- to thia country in order to take advantage of the hi gU prices. The stig-ar .coming from Europe is said to have been previously purchased by European interests in Cuba. .Wholesalers admit that the consumer has shown considerable wisdom 'in the methods used. Ha has refused to bify in large quantities, even' when he knew prices were about to advance.: But few grocers are selling mor'e than 1 -f.rth at a time to a customer. The high price of sugar has also kept many ho.'tsewlves from canning ; early fruits, which has caused ,an oversupply at the refineries. This condition haa forced tha refineries to bring down the price, local jobbers' believe. : 1 The following prices in average ones th ent aumers are expected to pay retail stores. . ttuahty quoted is average, fancy stuff being slightly higher and inferior stuff fractionally lower.

Grays Harbor Dairy Units Declare War Hoqaiam, Wssh., July Milk on Grays Hsrbor is now selling for 12 cents quart, with indications of it going down to 9 eenta. as a result of a milk war declared by the Orays mroor usirymeu s association agalnat a group of independent fanners of the Sataop district who hare been operating through the 8tsop Fafmers' dairy here. i Members of the . Dairymen's assoeiaUon claim the price of 1 2 V4 eenta S quart, which has been charged by the Sataop 'arcners dairy since it began operations here a little more than a n.jnth ; ago. is below cost of production, and declare it is unfair to farmers of both organ izations, who " bear the burden of the reduced prices. ! ' r . ; - Following the cat by the Dairymen's assoeia- tion the Ma wop organization' is contemplating a reduction. Officials of the Dairymen say they will go as low as v cents per quart in the hop ot ultimately winning for au the farmers. -. Chicken Business Profitable ''Columbia Beach, Or., July 8.

Onions are selling on Front street for JL75 per 100 pounds in one or two sack lots, and for $1.65 per 100 pounds in five sack lots. Sign displayed . by th retailers Saturday read: "Special 5 cents per pound, five pounds for 25 cents." This would make the retail price approximately $3 per sack, not counting a alight loss occasioned in weighing th onions cut in small packages. - Th profit to the re tailer on this baaia would be about 150 per Cent. - - i-- ?. . .-r.... .ft y ' . There is no necessity of th housewife pay-J ing thess exorbitant prices, as the market is orer supplied with onions. .." Telegraphic information from California states that th growers are suffering heavy losses, because onions sre bringing them . but 65 cents per sack.' , ;: ft f s Rather than dig their crop and stand farther leases by baring to pay for th labor, the growers are reported to bar plowed about 600 cars of onions under. - J - Portland wholesalers - say th sbeolut. top price on onions, is $1.75, this being for th very fancy stuff. . As the California ; growers seem' to b discouraged, they are, not taking pains to grade their onions this year. ; Quality of the receipts ia, therefore, badly mixed, some of th sacks containing cull stock, which brings the prices still lower. ' ''Soma- of th merchant are only " paying 81.2S per hundred pounds for -their onions," one Jobber said -Saturday. Thrifty 'housewives, should - demsnd a fewer retail price on onions, or the California stock will stsy in th market until late in th summer, at which time the Oregon crop is harvested. When the Oregon crop arrives prices will prob ably be forced still lower and local growers will also face heavy losses. Few Sales Made in N. Portland Stock : Yards on Saturday .-.;.: !..-?" : ; .

Holiday Monday. here on dried; onions COOL SPRING HAS DELAYED HARVEST Cool spring' weather will cause a slightly later harvest , this , year In most sections ot the west, according; to a crop bulletin .issued Friday by Edward ; A. Beats of the United States weather bureau. The repo- v follows: ; - -? 'r . Good rains fell near the end of the week in the Owens Valley in California, and in Nevada and southeastern Idaho. A few nhowers ; also' fell! in Western Washington, in extreme northwestern Oregron and ; at scattered places else-? where, especially lft the mountainous dis tricts. . Sunshine was generally deficient, and temperatures were everywhere be low normal, except in the San Francisco bay section where it was slightly warmer than usual. Light frosts on - several mornings slightly injured- some vege tables in Oregon. ; Generally,, throughout the district. crops are backward, and growth during the Week was slow, but otherwise satis factory. Drouthy conditions I in Utah have become more acute in' many unirri- gated grain regions, and the streams in the interior of California are unsualfy low the Sacramento river being the low est of record so early in the season.- .iX--,i Grata. V ' -The barley and wheat harvest Is prr greasing under., favorable conditions . In California, and the oat harvest is prac tically completed. Not much threshing has -yet been done. More grain has been cut for hay than usual. Drouthy condi tions-have caused some depreciation n the unirrigated grain regions Jn Utah, though showers near the end of the pre ceding week were beneficial. Both spring and winter wheat, barley and oats, are making satisfactory progress in Nevada and in the North Pacific states. Barley is reported to be exceptionally good and oats are excellent in Washington. Some rye has been cut in Idaho. Track Crops and Potatoes. The cool weather was favorable for truck crops which, though' backward, are generally in a healthy condition. Foggy mornings in the coast counties of Cali fornia greatly revived the field bean crop which now is doing nicely. Potatoes in California are in alt stages of growth; many have finished digging their first crop, while in some localities planting is only just begun. 4 ' Weevil is Alfalfa. Haying made excellent progress during the week, thpugh interrupted somewhat CVbYlSTsJISCIey,onnVdwhow- -on by rain in Nevada during the last day or two. The second crop of alfalfa at lower levels In Utah Is being retarded Ivy weevil, and this crop which has been cut in Idaho is curing slowly on account of deficient sunshine. Ranges and Livestock. . ' Stock generally throughout the district are in excellent condition, though lower ranges are drying up, rapidly and green feed in the low valleys has disappeared. Dry feed still holds out fairly well and so far there has been' little, if any, suf fering for feed or water : among range cattle and sheep. .-, Fruit Seeds Sun. - Oranges and lemons as well as de ciduous fruit, in the southern counties need more . sunshine to Improve . their quality. In the northern counties, hot weather during the fore part of the week did considerable damage to fruit, and especially to grapes in the San' Joaquin valley. The cherry and apricot harvest is ' well . advanced in California : and peaches are coming into the .market .in quantity lots. Strawberry and cherry picking has become general in most of the : northern , sections. , Peaches in the lower altitudes of Arizona are a Bhort crop. .' 1 . Miscellaneous Crops. - Cotton in Arizona made rapid growth and It is fruiting- freely. The absence of rain was "favorable for cantaloupes now being marketed in that state as well as in California. . Rice and Bugar beets made satisfactory progress. Weakness Eeported In Gram Bag Mart NORTHWEST GRAIN RECEIPTS -Cars - Wheat. Barley. Fkrar. Oats. Hay. Portland, Saturday. 54 .... 0 3 ....
