Peam for canning trill probably not
be eo high this season as they have been
ror (several years past, owing fo, the
bumper crop which Is about to be picked
In almost every section of Oregon and
Washington. , Fruit canneries have all
the bears bought they can use, and are
temporarily out of the market. Pears
for canning are expected to be. plentiful
in si short time at not to exceed $1.60
per box. -j , r 'j ?
Crabapples advanced in price Thurs
dayj owing to an apparent shortage.
Housewives desiring this fruit should
pot delay any: longer in securing their
supply,;, V ! . :
Keports reaching the wholesale dealer
from all sections indicate that a larg4 1
local tomato crop is about of be har
vested. Tomatoes will probably be cheap
this! season, which means that a large
number will be canned in the homes. "
The market is well supplied with
Plums. All kinds of prices are being
asked, depending upon the quality of J
the ! fruit.
Karly applies ' are scarce and high
rriced. Lower priced applies are looked
fori as the season advances.
lihe prlee.of potatoes is gradually low

WALL STREET SAYS
DEMOCRATS ORRY
By BroadarJ Wall ;
New Yorky. Aug. 26. Call mency
at 8 per cent upset the calculation
Wednesday of , the .bull leaders in
Wall street. In the morning the mar
ket was strong with ' nearly, every
Issue showing - material gains. - It
seemed, howevea, that the short
traders had been eliminated almost
completely. (
Early in the day It became apparent
that : money was going to be tight in
the afternoon and the professionals be
gan selling freely. - When the receiver
ship i of Bethienem Motors waa an
nounced the whole market became -weak
and continued so through to the close.
Final prices were about the lowest
of the day. Net losses were not large
because the early advance had .: been
rather sharp. A few stocks made ma
terial net gain, notably. Consolidated
Cigars, Iron Products, General Electric.
May Department Stores and American
Sumatra. The speculative leaders were
the largest losers because professionals
attacked them with concentrated selling.
In spite of the weakness of the mar
ket, ther is no change in the sentiment
of leading bankers regarding the near
future of prices.. They have turned def
initely bullish. "' ,;-.- .-,
The presidential election is worrying
the Democrats. They imagine they see
a conspiracy on the part of the banks
to ruin business and blame it on the
Democrats. v . ,... .;
