Peachea -will probably be ona of the
cheapest frtrita offered to the public
this year for canning purposes. Un
less the unforeseen happens,' the crop
will be one of the largest ever harv
ested in the Pacific Korthweat. i Peak
of the Elberta Beach crop from' the
Yakima ejection should reach Portland
early in September. Wholesalers, have
fixed September 1 as the probable date
when the consumer should start looking-
for his peach supply this year.
At the present time peach prices are
below a dollar, something; which; sel
dom occurs before the Elbertas 9JTive.
The early white varieties are about
gone, and the market now has a liberal
auppjy of Elbertas from California and
Early Crawfords from local orchards.
Pickling: onions have made their ap
pearance, which means that, pickling;
time is here.' Pickling- cucumbers are
still a trifle high, but within a week or
so growers will probably stop picking
large cucumbers and start bringing- the
smaller varieties to market
Among the new crop articles offered
the trade during the day were Tokay
grapes and sweet potatoes, both from
the South.
Portland market is glutted with egg
plant at the present time, so lower
prices prevail.
Now is the time to buy crabapples.
This fruit has come on the market
with a rush and is in good shape.
Within a few days it will soften and
become mushy and will not be so de
sirable. Retail prices generally show:

DRTGOODS TRADE COFIKED
MOSTLY TO SEPT. DELIVERIES
New Tork, Aug. 25. Trading in the market
for cotton goods today waa confined largely to
spots snd September deliveries. Neither mills
nor buyers were greatly inclined to extend
their commitments for later deliveries,, al
though consumers of heavyweight goods, in.
eluding ducks, took fair amounts for delivery
this fall. Prices for print cloths were very
firm, reflecting the stronger opening of the
raw cotton market, and prices for 04x60s and
6 8x7 2s were well maintained. Sheetings were
more irregular snd demsnd for twills snd
sateens was light.
Sheding of prices wss not in evidence in
the silk market and quotations were firm on
a fair volume of business.
Camas Prairie Crops Geod
Golden dale. Wash., Aug. 23. Crops In the
Camas Prairie locality of Western Klickitat

the principal product. Wild hay is harvested
from land surrounding a lake, but the cut
thia year will not exceed half the yield ob
tained last year. Orchard fruit from garden
orchards will be obtained this year for the
first time in several years.

NO INQUIRY FOR
Because Europe ia disinclined t par present
prices and because the Orient hss drooped eat
of the market, Portland wheat market Is ex
periencing a eery etaH sttaaUoev.
The Oriental situation b expected to im
prove, as they will have to boy wheat sooner
or later, but some doubht is expressed as to
whether or not the Europesa situation win
change. Feeling among pert of the trade ia
that wheat moat work to a lower basis before
it ess be sacred toward Europe.
However, many Northwest farmers are fairly
well financed this year by the banks and will
be able to hold off for quite a kmg while
Many are looking foe higher wheat pricee later
in the year, but unless Europe cornea forward
with a better -demand, there will be no need
for any advances.
Club wheat is selling generally around
31-08 1.09 tidewater, with two interests re
ported to be paying at 2e premium. The
trade has not been able to figure out yet their
reason, for paying a premium. They are
either badly ia need of vrheat, or are trying
to amuse tbemaeivea while nothing seise is
doing by seeing who can make the best bid.

Most winker wheat has been harvested, and
except ia the higher distrieta harvest of spring
grain is generally complete, states Edward L.
Wells.- meteorologist, tn his weekly summary
of weather and crop conditions issued this
morning. Be also-found threshing well ad
vanced. The report folio wa:
In Baker county some fields of oata are
badly lodged aa a result of the hail storm that
occurred soma time ago. Irrigated corn in
Malheur eounty is excellent, end much of it
witt soon be safe from frost. Uni masted corn
in westers counties ia making better growth
since the rains of the preceding week, though
in some localities .the nights have been too
cool for beat resultsV
Sruru
There is still considerable complaint of drop
ping of prunes. Prunes are ripening. Picking
of Bartlett peart is progressing rapidly. Howell
pears will soon be ready to be picked. Apples
sr. aixing well, but in sons, places need more
rain. Evergreen blackberries have been helped
by rein.
Meadows and Livestock
Irrigated alfalfa continues to make excellent
growth; very little second crop clover will be
cut in unirrigated districts. Pastures in west
ern counties have showed soma improvement
since the rains of last wejek, but pasturage
is generally short. In some of the high eoun
tain ranges feed is still fairly good. Some
cattle and abeep are being shipped.
Miscellaneous
Harvest and shipping of early potatoes ia
eaiten counties are well advanced. All irri
gated potatoes are doing well. Lata unirri
gated potatoes in western counties sr. now
making good growth.
Some high daytime temperatures were; ex
perienced. but the nights were mostly cooL
There was some cloudiness, and light rain oc
curred over small areas, being generally insuf
ficient to retard farming operations or to ma
terially benefit crops. High wind caused some
damage in a number of eastern localities. Forest
tires have been mostly extinguished or brought
under control, snd the etmosphereteia more
nearly free from smoke than for several weeks
past, rail plowing has been begun

CRANBERRY CROP ITT
ABERDEEN SMALLER
(Aberdeen, Wash.. Aug. 28. Owing to the
ravages of the caterpillar in the cranberry sec
tions of Grays Usrber eounty the crop will
not be more than 50 per eent ef what it was
but yea, according to growers. The long
drouth is thought to have brought about the
large development of the caterpillar. It was
some time before the insect was stayed in its
destructive course and the use of arsenic and
otiser compounds did net at first sff est their
life. However, it is thought the crop hss been
particaDy saved and will bring the growers
perhaps higher prices in consequence of the
small crop.

Saifety Guaranteed
- j-
On each of the bonds of the Sutter Basin Company Land Mort
gage Sinking Fund 6 Gold issue, due 1937, there is inscribed
a legend which states substantially as follows :
The prompt and punctual payment of this borjd and
the interest thereon and of the sinking fund payments
SI?7 required to be mad , . . has been unconditionally
guaranteed by J. Ogden Armour of Chicago, iu,- , ..;;
The liability of this guarantee is primary and direct and1 not con
tingent. It is binding and enforcible against him, his heirs legal
representatives and assigns.
This ruarante is of such a nature that the Sutter Basin Company Land
Mortgage 6 Bonds virtually are a debenture obligation of J. Ogden Armour.
r In addition they are secured by a direct mortgage, subject only to certain s
assessment district bonds, on. approximately 64,000 acres of prima agricul- '
T tural land in the heart of the Sacramento Valley, Deducting the assessment
r district bonds from the conservative appraised value of the land leaves a
value about two times the amount of these bonds.
These bonds are to be. listed on the Chicago Stock Exchange
and the San Francisco Stock and Bond Exchange and there is
reason to believe they will enjoy a w.ide and active market , The
excellent merits of these bonds commend them to conservative
investors. We will mail you detailed information at your request.
