: 'Wheat has been arriving on the Portland
market, faster this year than during many sea
son past. - Saturday'- arrival of wheat was
124 ears as compared with 24 a year ago. and
the total for ttie year is already 4348 against
1903 to the same date a year ago. Harvest is
'little earlier this year than last season, but
Like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky came
the announcement late Saturday afternoon that
the. Portland butter market would advance S
cents at the opening of business Monday Morn
ing. Portland creamery men were of the opin
ion earlier in the day that the price here was
as high as is justified, but they were forced
to make the move when 8eatt3c announced that
it would advance Monday. Seattle's new price
on prints will be 47e and Portland's will be: 46c
For butterfat delivered at Portland 4c per
Pound will be paid. Creameries are not quot
ing a country station price at present. It is
interesting to note that a year ago Saturday
batter was 69c In Portland, and a' year ago
xtonoay it was eic. Iwniu the same 'week
last year an additional advance of 3 cents was
made, bringing the price ud to 64c.

Light Poultry Weaker
Price on light poultry is expected to have a
not enough earlier to account for the enormous j &rp decline the early part of the week, as
shipment
;. t Reports have reached the Chicago grain ex-
. change that "everybody in the Northwest" wants
to sell his grain, so rapid' has been the move
ment from the 1 farm to market. This condl-
-, tuna, which is prevalent in other centers also,
is believed to be responsible to a certain extent
for the steadily 1 dec rearing price. This year's
. shipments are not only bringing the 1921 crop,
bat the left over from 1920,. and 1919. for
which some farmers had hoped to get (3 per

Firming of Sentiment Found
In Wheat and.Rour Markets
National condition ia the grain market is be-
lieved to be strong by Modern Miller, which has
suicmarixed conditions as fellows; ,
There has been a very substantial firming- of
sentiment in the wheat and floor markets. For
the. first time in month good conservative men
ere willing - to assert the parribility of higher
rmea levels. Speculators new very Brucb to
this opinion and millers weighing market condi
tions feel eonviacrd of the strength of the titua-
ben. There has been a very heavy movement -of
winter wheat and it has been absorbed at P re
in in m in Chicago,' Kansas City and St. Lottie
snd at advanced prjeea. There ia a big volume
inwr mnuu ivr umit mm in ut mumw
there are no stocks of American flour; as one
correspondent says, not a spoonful," tiovern-
n reserve of wheat have been finally v
heoftted as noted in a cable from our London
manager. Gulf bookings of flour have been
heavy as compared with any recent movement. 1
Russia Will Not Expert , j
Exporters are taking wheat and the f trade
seems much impressed with KUSMa.' famine In
seven governments, where large wheat imports
are neeeary for food and seed. The true situa
tion in Russia is quite a shirt from the hope ut
exports from that country which waa indulged
tn tm to a abort Use ago.
In domestic markets, the lona. continued
comervaUzm cleaned wp flour stocks in a voca
tive way and domestic trade has stimulated flour
production so that most nulls are running cms
to war tirao output. . t
Demand for floor aeenae to have sprung m
from an markets, and apparently has not yet
retched Ua limit, because of the wiisei istfam
which buyers have adopted sine the period o
deyreasion. Tet many big bakers are satisfied
with prtseiit levels and. the possibility of ad
vsiHng markets.
The crop situation has added to this senti
ment. Tho July govern ment forecast of 809,
OOO.0AA bushels was Reduced on August 1 to
757.00fl.0O0. reduction of ever 50.000.006
bnsbeK The) movement of sprW wriest is slow.
The quality ia reported fine. ' Canada 's crop y
only a moderate outturn with possibilities of
some further damage. Along with this there
waa the usual "market gossip" of rust, which has
do substantial bearing -on the situation, except to
aid in forming sentiment. .
, print Wheat a Facter
There ia a shortage cf potatoes and
tcblce to help the wheat situation. Three things
are all pointed to as reasons for good buying
foundation. Buying is in pragresa in a better
way than many hoped for, with mills and ex
porters taking wheat, and flour buyer showing
real faith ia the price levels.
It ia pointed out that the spring wheat move
ment is yet to come, but the ability of the
market to absorb the winter wheat movement
without big market accumulations is pointed to
as a wholesome index to the strength of- the
situation.
- ' The early movement of spring wheat in volume
is being watched aa a factor to hold levels
down. - , - .

receipts are much greater than the demand.
Farmers and poultry raisers are culling their
flocks, and , as a result the market is flooded
It appears this year as though some farmers
have waited too long before culling, as out of
a shipment of 225 hens received by see dealer.
only three eggs were found in a 24 hour period.
The ssme condition is true regarding other
shipments, it is said. Market is good on
heavy bens and broilers. Prices are expected
to remain, steady, in these lines.
Dressed Meat Moving Slowly
Call for dressed meats waa slow during the
past week. Top quality stock . raaved - fairly
good, but the market was spoiled by- too much
rough, heavy stuff. Fsnner should exercise
more care in raising and killing their veal and
hogs and they will receive better prices, as top
blockers always bring a premium over the , ordi
nary animal. ' ;
Peach Prices Higher
Peach prices will be higher the first of the
week unless the market can find -a place ' to
buy cheaper fruit. All growers are demanding
higher prices. , Peaches are costing 1. 00 per
box laid down in Portland, , which means; that
the consumer will have to pay (2.
Tomato Price Shattered .; j .
There was no tomato price Saturday.' .It
was a case of taking anytning offered. (Jlean
uds of stock were made as low as 20c - ner
box, with the average price of the day running
from SO 50c. t.ftn at tnese low pnces all
the tomatoes were not taken from the street.
and aa a result Portland market will have a
nrm siinnlv of rotten tomatoes Mondsv. ' This
was especially true in the foreign section of.
Front street. j r;
Peak of Pear Season Her
Pesk of pear production is here. The com
ing week will see the best pears and the most
liberal supply. Prices will not be so low - this
season aa in other seasons, as the crop ; is a
little short, but the fruit canning . trade j win
have to take the pears at the pnces asked, as
pears are more plentiful and cheaper than
peaches. - . 1. !
Fresn Fruit fieniirui ; :(
All kinds of fresh fruits are plentiful.
Wholesale market is overstocked with- water
melons, cantaloupes, plums and bananas. " Bar
gain price are being offered, owing to the; large
supply.
