BCTTER TRADE IS RATHER SLOW
While there 3 no surplus of Ior-l make of
butter shown at this time, the market is rather
low as a result (if the declines elsewhere. Fur
ther km in the South will force a drop- here.
COfSTRT MEATS BATHER SCARCE
Scarcity is shown for both veal and hog In
the country killed meat trade. Bales of top
luality are easily made at 1 7c a pound. There
ha been a pronounced call for bogs during the
lat lew days.
HIDES GO-TO A SEW T.OW MARK
At lOe a pound for calf skins, a new low
record for many years ha been reached in the
trade here. Kit ar down to He, while the en
tire hide market is a ma? of depression. Han
dler sy that in some instances the price is not
high enoueh to pay transportation; and carta:
irom the country.
SACKED TEGETABLES I A I.IM,
Ilecause of the closing of many of th logging
camps, which utilize most of the supplies, there
is a lull in the demand for sacked vegetahles at
this time and pricea are on a nominal basis.
ONIOV MARKET STILL STAGXAXT
There is still a stagnant tone in the onion
trade. Even at the low prices consumption is
Jiirt a fraction-of the normal. Trade here is
still supplied with California growth, but most
of this will be sold by th end of the week.

Hi'ljne it would be an excellent idea
for consumers to purchase a sack or so
of potatoes at this time, it would
scarcely be wise under, existing condi
tions for them lo slock up for the win
ter. i
Apparently there is not likely to be a
high . potato market for some time .to
come, if at all this season. Not only'is
the crop here an excellent one as re
gards size, but most sections report a
like condition.
There Is practically no business pass
ing in table stock at country points at
this 'time because leading consuming
markets are congested. Some of' the
southern buyers are making a bluff at
buying, but it is noted that their pur
chases are too nominal to consider. On
Uhe surface it looks as If the southern
interests are running a big bluff of buy
ing in order to mislead the Pacific
Northwest growers Into holding for
higher prices-while they sell their owp
goods athis time.
Consumers thould demand good,
smooth potatoes because even at slightly
higher prices, ruch stock - is cheaper
than rough stock at low figures.
Th following price ruled generally in retail
shops for good quality. Horn values are frac
tionally higher and inferior stuff fractionally
lower.

Flax Production
To Be Increased
Salem. Or., Not. 29. The 800 acre of
flax produced in the Salem district last year will
be practically doubled in 1921, according to
indications at a meeting of flax growers and
prospective growers her Saturday afternoon.
Alresdy a total of 511 acre out of a maximum
of 700 which ran be handled by the state's flax
plant at the penitentiary here has been pledged
and Robert Crawford, superintendent of the
plant, declares that the remainder will easily
b forthcoming. In fact, he is now figuring on
cutting down some of the largeT pledge in
order to encourage the growing of flx by farm
era who hare never as yet Tentured into this
field.
Under the new rontrsct with the state. flx
producers will be paid $55 a ton for the product
delivered at the prison. This is an increase of
$5 per ton ore? 'last year' price. Farmers, how
erer. will be required to pay th state $1.50 a
bushel for their seed instead of receiving it
free, as heretofore, and must delirer the flax in
better condition than has been th case in past
jesrs.
Saturday's meeting waa called for the purpose
bf standardizing methods of harresting the flax
crop and the method of tying the bundles to
insure more uniform curing of the product.
PLENTY OF GRASS; STOCK-
MEX ARE SAVING MONEY
Yakims, Wash,, Not. 19.- Stockmen who ar
wintering about 200,000 sheep in akima Tel
ler report-they have not had to buy any feed to
date, as the animals are keeping in good condi
tion on the open range. This winter is in di
rect contrast with that of a year go, when
the ranges were bare and stockmen were pay
ing increased prices for hay and grain. Com
mored in from Nebraska was worth $72 a ton
and it can now be laid down here for $41 a
ton. Hay, seUing at this time ladt year at $33
a ton, can now be purchased for $16 to $18 a
ton. Yakima growers hare a large crop and
hay is in less demand than at this time last
year.

On the estimated average return to shippcra of
$1.73 a box the crop rolled to market has re
turned $6,711,600 to the valley. The total for
export. 8600 cars, on this basis will bring back
$11,186,000. A thousand cars additional will
be sent to by-product plants. The 1920 crop
is 2500 car ;telow that ' of 1919, owing to
frost damage of;a late spring. Storage stocks
will be held well into the new year to give the
market a chance to clean up on eastern barrel
stocks, when it is thought prices will be better.

By Hjman H. Cohen
A Willamette valley correspondent
writes me that while the miller and ex
porter' are f till selling their product- at
a profit, the farmer is compelled to ac
cept a big loss for his wheat. Such idea
is generally accepted by the producer,
but It is in error. The truVi of the mat
ter is that today the miller tend exporter
are working under tremendous loss.
The trouble with the great market is not the
result of any desire on the part of either the
local miller or exporter to depress the price. The
trouble is an international one and Tallies in this
country hare gone to smash as a result of the
weU financed ' foreign combination which sells
wheat short and sells the spot product to itself
at an apparent loss, simply to influence Talues.
Today the exporter and the miller is in
cluded are facing ruin as a result of artificial
congestion of the foreign markets. Some of the
local exporters are today actually taking a losa
of $1 a bushel on cargoes of wheat, while millers
hare for some time past been selling flour con
siderably below what they paid for wheat. Few
of the millers hare any of th low priced wheat
so recently quoted, but they hare been compelled
to reduce their flour price nevertheless.
Cargoes of wheat afloat are actually begging
a market abroad.
There waa a somewhat improved trend in the
Eastern trade for the day but the situation at
Pacific Northwest primsry points is still stag
nant In the meantime tidewater docks are
loaded with grain that waa purchased from 50c
to $1 a bushel above prevailing prices.
Further reduction ar announced in some
feedstuff.

Rush to Buy Puts
December Wheat
Up in Chicago
Chicago, Nov. 29. (I. N. S.) Early
sharp advance in wheat was lost lit the
last hour of trading, when holders un
loaded and found support lacking. Cash
grains were in good demand and ad
vanced nharply. Sentiment was more
favorable to the bull side. Provisions
were irregularly higher.
Closing prices for December wheat
were at gains of (lc, March ad
vanced 11c; May corn was c up
land July c advance; December oats
iwere c higher. May c up, and
IJuly c higher.
Chiesgo, Not. 29. (I. N. S.) The wheat
market opened today with a general rush to
buy December snd the upturn in Msrch was
largely sympathetic. Offerings, however, were
light. December started 2 He to 3c higher
and March was up 1 c to 2 c.
Commission houses in general were good
buyers at the opening in corn, which waa He
to 1 Vic higher for December and c to lc
up for May. Offerings were small until the ad
vance ran into resting orders to sell.
Oata started unchanged to He higher for De
cember and Vc to 4e higher for May. Trade
was moderate, with offerings small.
Provisions opened higher on selling inspired
by higher hogs and the strngth in grains.

SHORT rOVERINt; IS AID
TO EARLY COTTON TRADE
New York, Nov. 29. (I. X. 8.) The cot
ton market was Bteady at the -opening today,
despite the big break in Liverpool cables. Wall
street buying, a demand from local short and
some investment buving of the distant months
absorbed th early offerings and rapidly carried
the list back to Saturday closing levels.
Opening losses of 7 to 27 points were sus
tained on all month but October, which was 2
point net higher.
- At the end of the first 20 minutes the mar
ket wa steady at net advancea of 5 to 7 points.
Change in prices in the late trading were
narrow. The close was barely steady at a net
advance of 5 22 points.
Spot cotton was quiet today, 23 points higher
at 15.75 cents. No sales.
