and consistent demand under the lead
erehlp of Mexican Petroleum.
Trading; was -on a lighter scale than
yesterday and interest was not Intense.
The same Influence arising; from price
reductions which have obtained here
tofore this week governed . business to
day. There were no new factors to
change the attitude of the professional
traders and the public.
Business was carried on to the clos
ing in a more or less perfunctory fash
ion. Further price changes were of no
Importance.

LOCAL BUTTER
!BIG CROP POTATOES
ir .... . . - a
IS MANIPULATED TO FORGE GRADING
Cold Storage Interests Continue In
Control- Surpl us la Growing
Iastera Call Boosts Eggs.
Creamery butter situation attracted
considerable attention In the local trade
for the week. Local interests were hold
ing up selling values on prints in the
face Jof weakness that could no longer
b ensaruised from the general trade.
They maintained prices simply because
they were practically all in the same
boat the holders of storage goods being
willing to grab the excessive profits now
available.
Much etresa has been placed by creamery in
terest upon the fart that cold atorace holding
of batter, not only in Use Pacific jiorthwest but
in the East, are cenaiderably below the total of
this period a year ago, Thi fact is not sen
sational when digested. There waa a big holding
of atorage butter at thia time a year ago.
Another fact which the manipulating inter
est appear to hare forgotten to secure an alibi
for is that eouadrbla foreign butter has
reached the United States recently, while th
wa not the ease a year ago. While to data this
foreign influx, baa been to tb big Atlantic eoaat
eaarketa. thatfj'aeifio cot promise to be in
Taded withlt it he immediate future. In fact,
foreign but, la already offering in two north
ern market.- while considerable stock rs said to
be en rout to moat Pacific slope market from
New Zealand.
It is idle for toe trade to declare that this
foreign butter will not compete with the fresh
home prod oct, because it will. Everyone in the
trad know that New Zealand butter 1 of first
class quality. It ha previously been old bere
and pricea were cut only fractionally below the
local figure to more it.
One of the biggest sign In the trade inch
rating weakness in the situation is that creamery
interest who are nsnally in the market for out
side cube are today unwilling to take hold.
The fact la they are not only manufacturing
sufficient butter In their own churns to take
rare of the situation, but they are likewise
pushing their storage product while pricea ap
pear to be their best.
Outside Trade Affect Eggs
While egg receipts here show a gain for the
week, price continued to advance sharply in
the local trade.' Outside demand waa entirely
responsible for thia condition, the local market
ahoartng little change o far general sellins
value are, concerned, e ran though f. o. b. prices
ruled at tb advance. New York and other
eastern renter purchased the bulk of the offer
ings and especially the extras of white color.
Toward tha dosing of -the week as high aa 70c
a dosen was asked for these in the local trade,
but buyers were scarce at thia price. Most of
the local wants were taken ear of either by ths
regularly candled mixed colored stock or by the
pullet and brown extra.
Cold , stores withdrawal are likewise heavy
at currant value.
Ch ease Situation Steady
For c$i tea there waa no price change, either
In the local market or at Oregon producing cen
ter for the work. tieneal steadiness was indi
cated and no surplus is shown.
Ch token Value Quiet
While lightweight hen and heavyweight
springes were inclined to show dullnes and
even a slight price lea in the Front street trsde
for ths weak, general chicken market values Were
unchanged. The trend appear to be (tightly
easier all around.
Oeurrtry Meat Easier
Start of the week showed upward fluctuations
in the market for country killed meat. Hugs
were eharpiy higher at tb start, but with lib
erally increased offerings the market reacted.
Veal showed a like condition, with lower prices
at the closing of the period.
Potato Trad Wall
Market for potatoes here is in ,a waiting at
titude. While the limited offerings of local
growth show good quality generally, the lack
of grading. 1 having its effect. Thia caused
some of 0i big dealer to order carload lot
from (he Yakima section, where they could se
cure exactly what they wanted. Owing to the
continued heavy raina during the week, digging
operations were limited.
Onion Offering. Nominal
Rain has interfered with offering of home-
frown onions and only limited atocks were of
ired licre during the week. Several carloads
came In from California- Fears are expressed
that Ui color of this year' growth will be
ruined,
Apple Trad Quiet
Only limited offerings of Gravecitein Apples
were shown here during the week because of the
better valu obtainable in the East Some
aales of Jonathan are reported, but these are
generally about 80c lower than a year ago. even
though tb crop for 1920 i considered but
one third of year ago. Trade in the Uaat is
not taking bold of 1st varieties except in a
very nominal way.

Totato growers of Oregon must learn
that they cannot hope to secure adequate

potato. The r e
verse is the case.
There ia no better
potato in the nation
than grows In Cen
tral Oregon and in
portions of W estern
I ( i ble ls not w'th the
n in hi i n k ni1ii-dl growing, but in the
lack ot suitable marketing preparations.
It Is more than advisable this season
to grade Oregon potatoes properly. First
of all, the quality ls a good average one,
and reflects credit upon the growers and
the state. There is no section that pro
duces uniform .grade and sixed potatoes
In every hill, therefore grading Is abso
lutely necessary.
The trade differs in its wants of pota
toes. Some sections demand a potato
that is fully eight Inches in length. nd
anything below that will not be consid
ered a first grade article. Then there
are sections that consider the six inch
potato the ideal tuber and pay accord
ingly. The general trade here has come
to the conclusion that the best potato
should be from four to six inches long
with a emooth skin.
Crop More Liberal
While this year's crop of potatoes ih
Oregon and in the Pacific Northwest is
not a normal one as regards quantity,
It ls far above that of p. year ago. Ore
gon this season produced closer to its
average quantity than for several years
past This was done in the face of a
greatly decreased area. In Idaho re
ports indicate that the yield, while con
siderably above a year ago. will not be
up to expectations. However, Idaho pro
duced proportionately the best crop on
the coast last season. In Washington
the crop ia considered about a third
above a year ago.
Not only has there been an Increase In
the output of potatoes in the Pacific
Northwest for 1920 as compared with a
year ago, but everywhere the quality is
better.
Bigger Crop In Nation
According to the most recent esti
mates of the United States department
of agriculture, the condition of potatoes
September 1 in the nation, was 84.3 per
cent, indicating that much of a full crop,
compared with a 10 years' average of
74.0 per cent The figures indicate a
total production in the country Of 412,-
933.000 bushels, compared with an output
estimated around 357.901,000 bushels a
year ago. These figures go a long way
in indicating that potatoes are not likely
to reach excessive figures for the 1920
crop.
One of the features of the trade is that
little shipping demand ls generally ex
pected this season. Due to the fact that
freight rates have been boosted to ab
normal figures by the railroads and other
carriers, the trade in various sections la
expected to play the home grown stock
as a strong favorite. The new rates are
especially distasteful to the Pacific
Northwest, inasmuch as they make it
practically impossible for growers and
shippers here to compete with Colorado
and Idaho for the great trade of the
southwestern group. California also has
a big advantage in that trade.

By Howard . Greene,
Secretary National Sheep and Wool Bureau of
America.
" The caliber of a man is indicated by
his enemies' caliber. So. the caliber of
a movement Is indicated by the caliber
of Its enemies. The men between have
proclaimed themselves by words and
deeds to be enemies of the truth in fabric
movement and their caliber Is indicated
by the very fact that they class them
selves as enemies of a movement that
seekaaolely to establish on a firmer
foundation the old principle, honesty IS
thi best policy.
The truth in fabric movement is the cul
mination of year of endeavor on the part of
far-sighted and patriotic individuals to instil
more truth into the textile trade. Its atriking
edce i the French-Capper truth in fabric bill,
which wa designed to compel textile manufac
turers to stamp their cloth with it content
of firgin (new) wool and of wool lubttHnte
the chief of which is shoddy, old rags re
worked in some rase as often eight time.
The French-Capper truth in fabric hill Is
now in the hands of the interstate and foreign
commerce committee of both . houses of ron
grew. In tbe bouse it i known a II. R. 11641
and in the senate S. $886. Last epring the
house committee held bearing on the truth in
fabric bilL
ail lllen Favor Law
Millions of men and women, organised In
farm, stock and public spirited organisations,
appeared st the hearing through representative
to plead for the enactment of the measure.
Millions of dolUtr, invested in the r
picking nd wat salvaging industries and in
textile mill, appeared through representatives to
oppose the enactment of the measure?
Why the opprwftionf Today, textile manu
facturers may. without interfgrenre by tit law,
use wool substitutes in tb msnufaetur of
cloth without declaring their presence. Thi
cloth, they sell under cover of the term. U
wool." which the public understand to mean
virgin (new) wool.
Wearing Test Show Cheat
No chemical test reveal tb presence la cloth
of wool substitutes made of reworked woolen
rags. Only the lack of wearing qualities tell
die tale. .
-Since our use of shoddy cannot be detected
and since we don't have to tell that vre ne
shoddy, why go to the expense of using virgin
wool?" the textile manufacturer sk them
selves. "Let' use shoddy and make a bigger
profit." , , ,
"Oo to it!" urge the waste material dealers,
whoa giant arm now stretch around tb
globe. . .
With ever-Increasing disregard for tbe ngrtts
of th pubUc, with evr-incresing disregrd for
th prervtion of the theep industry, worried
in no degree by the thought tht the ragpile of
even the whole world must some time, some
how, be resutiplied. reaping their exorbitant and
unrighteous profit behind their veil of technicsl
secrecy . the shoddy manufacturers hsve "gone
to it" Lest year, they allowed American three
pound of virgin wool per capita. Tb need
was 1 2 iiound per - capita. The difference waa
mad up of unidentified wool substitute.
Meanwhile the unmanufactured virgin wool,
which the public upred it was getting, cu
mulated in the world's storehouses. A billion
pounds ly tliere when the sring clip begn.
Th clip added two and a half billion pounds to
th pile. Wool i a drag on tbe hand of th
sheep raisers, who face financial ruin.
Junk Men Say Perish
"Give us back out market," they cry, "or w
P"rTom Junk shop to (noddy mill echoes tha
response :
Perish T"
The rench-Cprier truth in fabric bill wa
devised to -how the public wlut ort of cloth it
is getting in the name of "all wool." Tb peo
ple need and want virgin wool cloth. When they
know th truth about fabric through tbe oper
ation of a truth in fabric law. their demaBd
for unadulterated virgin wool cloth will quickly
fore th textile manufacturer to withdraw the
billion of pounds of unmanufactured virgin
wool from tb storehouse, reopenins to the
aheep men their legitimate market and curtailirg
the excessive profit of th ragpicker and Ui
shoddy vender.
Th truth in fabric movement, metamorphosed
into a truth in fabric law. would pry loose the
ragpicker and the shoddy vender from th posi
tion they liav seised between the public with
it demand for unadulterated vitgin wool cloth
and the aheep men with their supply of un
manufactured virgin wool.
Th men between do not want to Ins their
rhances to make exorbitant profit. They do
not want to restore to the aheep men tbe mar
ket they liave usurped. They do not want the
searchlight of publicity turned upon their ecret
business practices. They do not want the prin
ciple, honesty is the best policy, established on
firmer basis. They do not want truth in
fabric.
What they want ia inst to be let lon to
palm off on the -unenlightened public their un
identified shoddy cloth.
Kucli is the caliber of the truth in fabric
movement' enemies the men between.

Hogs showed a bad slump, cattle were
about steady and sheep and lamb quota
tions were little changed. Receipts for
the week totaled 187 cars compared with
193 a week ago, 164 two weeks ago. 147
four weeks ago. 159 a year ago, 123 two
years ago and 196 three years ago.
In the North Tortland hog alley there waa
a mo of 3569 head compared with 2316 laat
week and 2273 head thia asm week a. year
sen. Hun started the week with new top of
$20. a rise of 25e above the extreme figure
of the previous week. Condition began to show
weakness on Wednesday bnt no change was marie
in values until Thursday, a lorn of 7 5c he-ng
forced then with top at $19.23. On Friday
there was a further Jos eif 50c with fop at
$18.75. which wa followed on the closing day
of the week with an additional decline of 76a
to an $18 top. w
At the atart of th week th market here w
influenced somewhat by th weakness in the
eastern eituatlon but th trade there later became
steady with higher price, whil Ncrth PorUnd
tarted it downward course. At the week-end
there wa only fractional advance quoted in
Portland over tbe Chicago price.

price loss, but this sentiment was not sufficient
to force any change whatever in value.
Noticeable in the week trading wan the' fact
that feeder are showing a rather ritensire move

The little wool sold locally the week has
been dipoed of la most cases at figures regard
ed a too low by competitor of the Imusa mak
ing th aaia. . Critic say that H U not a good
year to try tad "atart om thing" by cutting

Prune Cracking Uadly
Enrene, Sept, 25. Another 24 hours of

prune crop of thia taction. With only about
oh third of th crop gathered, th prune are
now cracking so rapidly that It Is believed I hat
targe proportion of the remeining fruit will
be dsmsged beyond market value. - The plant
of th Kugene Fruit Grower- aoeiaUon lias
already turned hck mmy Un nf prune Id th
growers and orders liav been tent nut that no
mere ercCd fruit is to b brought In. A
.mall portion of the cracked ltaliana can be ud
in preserving, but th cracked PeUte cannot be
utilised in any war. Tb rain hat also brought
incalculable ruin to riiie tomatoes and black
lierriea, bundled ot ton of the fruit being
rendered unsalable.
