AWK 1 Mil T UU not have- quality, to offer are not likely to find their season' work, on the right side of the ledger, but even with, quality the Marketing of the products must be such as to -win distinction. ,, There la not the slightest doubt that an overproduction of farm products, and especially fruit ind vegetables, exists, in the -United States this season, i By overproduc tion is meant the inability of consumers to absorb total offerings under existing conditions of trade. It is In the season of liberal production that the quality producer Is able to market his product at a price, while the non-quality producer has aS market doors shut to his offerings. T3urin a season of short produc- Wbeat prices showed only fractional change j here during the week. There was no new bum- j rather liberal bidding by these interests to fill hips already aold to Euro pp. Because of the fact that wheat "price hare are 8 to 9c a bushel above the basis of Atlantic and Gulf porta, European business haa of late been shown only in that direction. Practically ail of the la.te business arailable for club wheat haa not shown offere above 1.05 f. o. b. ships for European account. This means a boot $1.03 per bushel on local tracks. Purchases, therefore, above the dollar mark for club would scarcely admit of profit to exporters if they sold at prevailing European bids. .. As there has been practically no new bnai Besa accepted by local exporters and orders . now being filled were received at a price con ' aiders, fcly abov the prevailing basis, exporters re today, in reality, offering about 6c a bushel more for c'.nb wheat than they could possibly receive at this time. Present outlook for wheat prices appears somewhat leas hopeful than a few weeks ago. Chief cause of this appears to be the somewhat better European and Asiatic crops than bad been expected while latest developments of tile Canadian situation indicate practically a record crop in the .Dominion. These facta, coupled with the excited political situation abroad as veil as the inability of Europe to secure ready money, are not conducive of a very good price Situation, at leadt for the immediate future. Flour tradt was quiet for domestic brands during the week, but further losses in export value are shown. Even at the lower prices quoted, local millers say that Oriental trade Is practically at a standstill. Considerable pre viously received business for that : account is Bow going forward. rev : ! 3f i tion anything can be sold, and generally at a profit- roper jracsing as necessary Not only is good quality production necessary in fruits and vegetables this season, but, to be on the safe side, growers must get their products on the- market in the best possible looking condition. This means good packing for fruits and proper grading of such vegetables as Dotatoes and onions. It will not be profitable for either potato or onion growers to try to market "field run' supplies. The onion growers of this territory are so thoroughly organized and in earnest that the lesson of proper grading and marketing has been well learned. The advice, therefore,' is principally for the potato growers of this territorv, who have shown no disposition whatever to improve their product or to meet the competition of quality, grade or price of their sections. Apple Men Mast Fay Heed This is a year wherein the apple grower must pay heed to the handwriting on the wall- Very small sized apples will be practically barred from the market, so far as adequate price is concerned. Apple shipping organizations who continue to put very small-sized apples into the extra fancy class, will court disffsterT because of the oyerabundance of really worth while fruit in the East Snd the low prices even On the good fruit. The same; situation is shown in pears, except that the situation there Is likely to prdve the most desperate because of the lack of keeping quality. PRODUCTS 1 DM MUCH BETTERED am Butter and Eggs Advance - in Price for Week; Tillamook Cheese Purchased in North. Dairy products in general were inclined to show strength not only in the local territory but throughout the country for the week. cally there was considerable improvement in the butter situation with cube especially par ticipating in the betterment because of advanced price at other points which, eventually had their effect upon the local titnaUon. The great decrea-e in the output of butts la this territory and the resulting increase in the de mand with the ending of the vacation season created strength in cubes and prints alike. Storage butter is finding its way irto the trade at prices that are practically uniform with values asked for off-grado I fresh stock. Cube butter extras ruled for week: Port Chi. N. T. IS. F.

The principal of a central market is estab lished. With the market established many producers have felt that their representative at the market ' should devote his whole' time and interest to their welfare. In this they, are un doubtedly right and these same rules would have passed long ago bad our market reached a point where such aa Mency could exist with out other means of support. We are going to try it now and have every confidence in ita success. This action of the exchange was not brought about by any, other thought than that of taking a forward step. - It is true there has been soma criticism, but nothing serious. But it is true that placed as we are now with all speculation cut out, suspicion i eliminated. The Portland Livestock Exchange is a fairly representative body. Producers are well repre sented by some of the best atockmen from various sections of the country. No other live stock exchange has gone that far in its organ ization. In fact all deiurtments are represented producers, shippers, salesmen, rwkers, whole salers, retailers and bankers, and it is probably due to this character of our organization that such fair and forward srtion is possible. This was particularly noticeable a few weeks ago when the exchange vted to publicly mark prices on scale tickets at time of weighing. We are asked frequently what the result will be when speculation is cut out. The answer is that producers" representatives at North Portland will be such n name aad in fact, and that is just what they should be. I jvtn fcoft white . . Western white Hard winter .

If fSlSc; Government Places Northwest WheatCrop 76,000,000 Bushels Pacific TVorthvrest "Wheat In its pre-harvest review issued July 19, The Journal estimated the entire spring and winter wheat crop of.,. Oregon, Idaho and Wash ington at 82,000,000 bushels. Not a single bushel had been "harvested at that tiBie. The U. S. department of agriculture yesterday estimated a crop of approximately 76,000,000 bushels for the three states. " By Frank L. Kent Agricultural Statistician U. S. Iepertment of Agriculture for Oregon. There aptiean to be no present reason for materially changing the Auirust 1 estimate of the winter wheat - crop, which was I L-v. .-.1 at 16,300.000 tra.-,hels for the state of Oregon. 45.0U2.0OO bushels for the Pacific-'. North west (including all of the state of Idaho) , and 542.000.000 bushels for the United States. . Nor haa there been occasion, to ma terially change the estimate of a month ago on the Oregon spring wheat crop, placed at 3.000.000 bushels. The Pacific Northwest crop likewise shows little change from the August estimate of approximately 31 .000.000 bushels. But the United States crop as a whole showed improvement during Aocu.-t and ii now estimated at 276.665,000 bu-hels. The total 1922 wheat crop of the state of Oregon is therefore estimated at 19.800.000 bushels, the Pacific Northwest at approxi mately 76,000,000 bushels, and the United States crop at 818,000,000 bushel. Lst rear's Oregon crop was estimated at 24,3 17, 000 bushels, the Pacifio Northwest at 103. 000,000 bushels, and the total United States crop at 795.000,000 bushels. The Oregon oats crop suffered severely from the dry summer. There was a larger, than usual seeding of winter oats last fall, which acreage did fairly well, otherwise the total produodoa woulai- ha.se. teexi tll lower than the 60 per cent of normal estimate for 1922, or about 6.400.OO0 busheis. The present Oregon crop is not considered sufficient to tke care of local needs, an4 already several cars of Eastern new oats have been shipped into the state. The United States crop for 1922 is estimated 1,255,000,000 bushels, compared with 1,061,000,000 bushels last year, and the five-ysax average of 1,374.382, 000 bushels. It now appears probable that the August 1 estimate of the 1922 Oregon barley crop, 2.000.000 bushels, should be slightly reduced. La-t year's barley crop was estimated at 2,240.000 bushels, and the five-year aver age is 3,176,000 bushels. The United States barley crop harvest indicated some increase orer the estimate of a month ago. and the preient estimate of the 1922 crop is 193. .'.50,000 bushels. La.t year's crop was 151. 1S1.O00 bushels, and the five-year average 15)1,021,000 bushels'. Wool Tariff Bill Will Not Increase Trice of Woolens Boston. Sept. 9. To all intents artX . ymv poses, the woolen roods market is rsmning about the eowrs ' that was expected. The American Woolen company has succeedeoV in getting s large amount of the spring osdm, and a number of the smaller concerns, par ticularly those making specialties, also have done fairly well. Host of the demand has been for the cheaper woolen faeries, but some tendency is manifested toward the better, etind of serces. i ' ' ' ; Much objectioa baa been .raised hytvxhe exponents of the new wool tariff bill in JrWh ington regarding the advertisements of -some clothiers, urging the publio to buy nowbe fore the new tariff bill forces higher prices. It was pointed out that this is willful.' per-rerrfon-of facts r that anyone who makes? sweh a- claim of higher- prices is guilty of : -false pretense to his customers, and that any iftilor who charges bicher prices afteT the new tar iff Mil goes intoeffect will be a plain prof iteer.

Thar was little feature to the wheat trade today and price changes were of little consequence. There was a setback at the start on local selling based on the bearish government crop report. Com mission houses with seaboard connections bought on the dip and caused a little rally, but Northwest selling kept the undertone easy. The support was present on every dip. Export demand was inactive, according to Seaboard advices. Winnipeg advices indicate that tns Canadian raitroads will run lOO car trains in the West to rush wheat to terminals, owing Xo the prospects of a strike by railway em ployes. Winnipeg premiums were 2c on cash wheat. Minneapolis reported a good demand for - the best grades at unchanged premiums.

However, total offerings were limited and the deficiency had to be mado up by the with drawal of storage eeods. The jattcr are of extremely good quality ; in fact, .! in many in stances are superior to the offerings of so called fresh stock.

Yakima offerings were in greatest supply and the im provement in the pr.'ee was about 10 to 16c Dalles .orreringi topped th market ut the clewing with Crawfords around i 80 85o and Elbertss around 80c. Little demand for Wil lamette valley peaches was sbovra because of the presence of much dry rot.

Fuel Supply Faetar Asssxrance of an ade quate fuel supply has had-ita effect upon industrial operations. The steel mills which were down below fifty per cent of capacity ere already back close te sixty per cent with every sign that production will continue to expand until it reaches the 73 per cent maximum of three months agow What is true of steel U true of manufac turing and producing activities . in general. Where output was curtailed by coal shortage complete recovery is promised. Good Backing for Oarrnan Program Turning to the European situation, ft la too early perhaps to appraise the importance of the latest efforts to solve the Indemnity prob lem. The proposal that Germany furnish the devastated region of France with reconstruc tion materia! and deduct these from the 1 epa rations claims is nothing new. Bnt it has for the first time been put in definite form, with the backing of the most powerful Ger man industrial interests. For the first time, too, the plan seems to have the approval of France. The aecond propositon bearing upon the . indemnity ques tion put forward during the Week represent a distinct innovation. ' It is that the big busi nessmen of Germany provide jointly with the Reichsbank on the one hand and with English bankers on the other, the security back of the note which Belgium ha agreed to take m lieu of her cash payments for the rest of the year. New Plan are kogloal These two offer have trot been formally accepted, therefore too much store must not be set upon them. But unquestionably they do denote the most logical and encouraging sug gestions that have yet been roads to settle the vexed question of German reparations without withholding from the allies a capital sum which they sorely need and yet without press ing Germany so hard as to compel repudia tion. , , Open Way for Kew Loan If reparation requirement are disposed of In this manner, that is through the coopera tion of private capital with the Berlin gov ernment, then the way may bo opened fox an international bankers' conference and the flo tation of a German jtoan, Even then, ths question will be. as it was lata June, whher Germany can find enough acceptable collateral for the bankers of the .world to attempt, a security issue of adequate dimensions. Bnt without a foreign loan, balancing of the Ger man .budget will be extremely' difficult even with the relief afforded by t e substitution of materials for cash as the rr.adium of indemnity payments. German Inflation Continue Germany is farmer away than ever from striking a balane between government outgo and Income. , This la clear from the latest Reichsbank statement with ita unparalleled in crease in a single week of over 25,000,000 in paper rrrks. The extraordinarily rapid pro gress o German inflation is indicated by the fact shst note currency expanded forty bfflioB miti in August as against twenty billions in yuly and eighteen billions in Jane and that the Aufrost increase alone was as much as the entire increase for the first five months of 1922. France Add to Paper Currency The French bank, too, lias been forced to add heavily to ita paper currency. The total has jumped nearly one billion francs within the last fortnight. Under these circumstance the present fluctuations of the paper francs, no more than of the paper mark, can be regarded as aa accurate barometer of money markets. The further rapid dilution of the paper currencies explains readily enough why the encouraging news of the week has not been reflected more than it has in exchange rates. Grower Selling Cotton Futures The Census Bureau figures on cotton gin ning showed that up to September 1, 81.7,171 bales had crm into right. This is an un unnsually large total, the largest with one ex ception in recent years. The high percentage of availability is a fortunate circumstance for the Southern ootton grower because xt haa oc cured when prices were at their highest. At the same time the actual ownert have not waited for their cotton to matnre. They have been hedging themselves by selling heavily in the market for cotton futures. The indica tions so far as they go up to the present, are that the money returns of the 1922 cotton crop, considering en the one hand the high prices which sellers have been obtaining for the last month on the Tin usual percentage of the new production either marketed or contracted for, will exceed considerably the average year, i The bearing which this haa on the business outlook is plain. Wheat Selling at Lew Levels Wheat is selling nearly fifty cents a bushel below where it waslast January, but the com parison between the probable money yield of the 1922 crop and the crop of 1921 must take into account that the great hoik of the latter waa forced- through the exigencies of the credit situation, upon the market last autumn when prices were about as they stand now. The shrinkage of 300,000.000 bushels in the corn crop during August is probably a welcome incident in the west. lor the main consideration is the more profitable prices which this will insure.
