Whili! the market fof ezz remain very firm
and active, both for storage and for fresh
offerings, leaders of the trade are very mum
inclined to lialt any further rise at this
time . unless aomething extraordinary appears in
the situation.
There is today a Terr good business in
torage efgs with selects at 32 if 33c a dozen,
but this range, is about as high as the trade
feels should be quoted. There is a general
disposition among storers- to get their stock
on the market as soon as possible, no effort
whatever being shown to speculate for further
advances. Perhaps this can best be explained
by the bankers who have refused to allow
egg dealers to speculate with the banks' money.
At the present jjnce the market appears in a
healthy condifjon with suitable margina of
profit. A further advance may curtail the
demand, to such an extent that liquidation of
jre house stor ks would be delayed.
Kres!i ecgs trade shows no change what
ever either in price or demand.
Th'fe desiring special information regard
ins any market should write the commercial
editor Oregon Journal, enclosing stamp for

Not until The Journal exposed the
profits being made by speculators in
cabbage on the public market did Com
missioner Bigelow. chief of the Yam
hill market, appear to know that cab
bage was quoted there. A sharp cut
in the price on the market resulted,
but it is still high.
Tomatoes are clearly too high In
price on the public market at 4c a
pound. They are being sold by "pro
ducers to retailers for from 20 to 30c
a box, the latter being an extreme
price. Each box contained 18 to 20
pounds, or even more of tomatoes. It
can therefore be seen that the public
is being overcharged on the market
with the consent of the-market master.
Consumers must hurry If they want
good peaches, for rot only is the qual
ity less favorable, but the price is ad
vancing somewhat
Its the last chance to get erabap

By Hyman H. Cohen
Warlike talk and actions brought startling
attention to the wheat market at leading
world's trade centers for the Monday mom
inj opening Eveyrwhere there was a dis
position to buy wheat on European conditions,
resulting quite naturally in sharp additions
to the price. Both spot and option wheat
were included.
Foreign as well as domestic markets par
ticipated in the sensational rises in the price
for the week's opening wheat trade. Liverpool
options ojened with only 3d rise, but closed
with net gains of 2 H to 3d or 4 H to 6c a
bushel, while, at Chicago the market just pre
vious to the closing was about 4 c higher.
Buenos Aires showed no early change. Winni
peg market was sensational with eariy rises of
approximately 5c a bushel for options.
Cash markets everywhere reflected even
greater strength than did the options, with
Chicago 4 to 5c a bushel higher at the open
ing than Saturday's finals, while other Ameri
can and Canadian markets were sharply ad
vanced. Portland trade waa affected to a more or
less extent at the opening, but the price here
hasss for some time been considerable above
otiifr markets, and for that reason the early
advance here was less marked than at other
centers. However. Jie market wiil quickly
follow the movement of other centers.
Broomhall cabled: '
Liverpool Wheat market rules steady but
demand not brisk. Shippers offers not press
ine. Argentine wheat being put fcjjjward in
only limited quantities.
Argentine Foreign demand for wheat about
fair but country offers limited. Weather gen
erally favorable. Wheat outlook good. Corn
movement from country now on a fairly liberal
scale.

NEAR EAST SITUATION CAUSES
NERVOUSNESS IN COTTON MART
New Y'ork, Sept 1 8. Nervousness over the
Near Eastern situation seemed responsible for
a more or less general disposition to even up
commitments in the cotton market during
today's early trading.
Liverpool cables reported a poor trade de
mand. As the cables were relatively easy
and after opening easy at a decline of 18 to
25 points, prices here soon showed net losses
of 43 to 4 7 points, with December selling
off to approximately the 21c level.
Cotton market was weak today through
more than half of the session, reflecting con
cern over the crisis in the Near East. At
the low the December option touched 21
cents. Toward the end, Jiowever. prices
snaiped back so that the market closed fairly
steady, with the net loss reduced to 12 to 25
points with October at 21.25 and December
at 21.45.

HOP MARKET IS
NOMINAL AFFAIR
Oregon's 1 922 hop output will reach from
50.000 to 57.000 bales, according to whether
the entire crop is picked or not- Because of
the very low price now beirg nominally of
fered for hop and Oie scarcity of pickers,
there is some question aa to whether the
full crop will be gathered. In fact, this is
not believed possible.
Present nominal price for hops is 8 to 10c
a pound. At the latter price the stock must
be select, really prime. At that there is only
nominal speculative interest in the trade.
The one big possibility in the market, one
that many growers are counting upon, is the
inability of contract holders to secure real
prime hop from their growers. As there is
an overplus of hops in the world at this time,
indications are that British buyers will demand
extreme quality this season. This therefore
may force contractors here into the open mar
ket and may possibly boost the price on real
top quality.
Some of the hop growers are counting on
the possibility of beer being returned as a
national drink.
Hop picking is ahout three quarters com
pleted at this time in Oregon.
Sensational Rise
In Chicago Wheat
Is Held to Finish
Chicago, Sept 18. A sensational advance
in wheat waa recorded during the morning
session, with much of the early gain main
tained up to the finish. The critical situation
in the Near East, with a clash of arms between
the Turks and the British, was the basic factor
which caused the bulge. There was heavy short
covering, in addition to the new investment
buying, while tight offerings made .the advance
more rapid, stop-loss orders to buy being un
covered. There were reports of heavy ex
port sales of Manitoba wheat to the United
Kingdom since "Saturday but the advance today
shut off business. Liverpool market showed
evidence of the critical situation and suh-
fciiusutm anu suo-
stantial gains in price were recorded in that
mrker
Receipts continue heavy but are still under
a year ago. Minneapolis re.ported a little
better cash demand at unchanged premiums
but -Winnipeg cash wheat premiums were 2c
lower. Later Minneapolis re;orts said prem
iums were unchanged to 2c lower.
Com had a strong tone, but the advance was
not near so rapid as in wheat owtlSg to the
small oien short interest. Commission houses
were fair buyers and locals bought There
was some realizing on the upturn. Exporters
took a moderate amount of corn and domestic
sale were fair. Receipts continue heavy, over
700 cars being exicted in today.
Oats were up with other grains. September
was strong on buying by Northwest cash houses,
while shorts and commission houses bought the

TRADE VOLUME INCREASED IX
NEW YORK DRYGOODS MARKET
Nt Yor. Sept 18. Increased volume
of trading made ita appearance in the dry
goods market today. Buyer are enlarging
their purchase, apparently having abandoned
for the present the idea that price will be
materially lower. The quotations for stand
srd constroctions were well maintained, with
9e considered the market for 64x60 print
cloths and 60 cents for 68x72. The lighter
weight sheetings were, in excellent demand,
aateens being strong and active and twill
were firm. Cotton ducks ahowed some Im
provement. The raw silk market was firm in reflection
of the activity which has prevailed for aome
time in Yokohama and the other Oriental

North Portland was higher for hogs, mixed
in character for cattle and generally favorable
for trade in the sheep and lamb alleys for the
week's opening. Run in the alleys over Sun
day included 116 cars, compared with 88 cars
a week ago, 106 two weeks ago and 91 cars
a year ago.
In the hog alleys there waa a liberal degree
of strength. The undertone of the trade indi
cated a foreign demand for hog producta, a re
sult of the Latest war agitation in the Near
East.
North Portland hog market started with a
sheer rise of 7 5c and an extreme early price
of $11.25 in the alleys, cun over Sunday
totaled 109 7 head, compared with but 601
head a week ago. 13S9 head two weeks ago
and a nominal supply of 301 head a year ago.
Buyers early invaded the hog alley and a
quick movement was shown at the advance.

strength in spots, notably in select quality heif
ers. I wo ljads of extra good stuff from the
Waterman section sent in by James Wilson
sold early in the day and lifted the extreme
of the market to $6. a rise of 50c from former
tops.
Aside from selected stock, which was scare,
the cattle market reflected a rather indifferent
attitude at North Portland, weakness predomi
nating in the early sales, with quality lacking.
Of the day's run of 2296 head in the alleys
3 70 head went direct to outside killers.

CANNED FOOD IS
PLENTIFUL. CHEAP
By 4. C Res-I
(Copyright, 1928. by The Journal)
New Tork. Sept 18. The Amsrtcaa house
bolder can buy a new caaopener and use It
freely without serious depletion of hi pocket
book threugbrmt the ' coming fall and winter.
The creat staple articles of food which are
packed and preserved snd which play a promi
nent irt in the dally sustenance of the United
Statea give no evidence of any marked advance
in price and In general may be expected to
remain at present or sower it vela.
Canned Pood Packs Heavy
This conclusion ts baaed npo telegraphic
reports received within the last 24 hour fmra
exict in every big producing and parking
section of the country. Packs of canned fooda
in nerly every rente ate running heavily in
excess of those ot 1921. The holdover stock
of that year are not yet entirely disposed of
and there certainly will be no scarcity of the
greater number of varieties of canned fruit,
vegetable or milk In the next year. There
may be overproduction.
Thia generalisation does not apply to unit
individual line In which, from various causes.
Iiacks are known to be abort In this category
are cherries, Hawaiian ptneaiipl and the bUfber
grade of California peaches and apricots, la
which stronger prices may be expected.
. The railroad car shortage has played aa Im
portant part in the canned food situation.
Farmers have been unable to market a large
amount of produce which they counted on sell
ing fresh and have disposed o( It to cannsrs
in their own vicinities.
Higher Price Are Refused '
Packers announced opening prices from 10
to 23 per cent in advance ot those of 1921,
but met strong resists nee from retailers and
consumers, who steadfastly refnaed to buy.
As a consequence price came down in many
sections. This trend was msde possible by
somewhat lower cost of cans, case, labels and
lower price paid to growers.
There is a tendency to sell lower grades of
canned iieachr snd sprw-ots in California and
there is also price cuuing to move little known .
trranas, but prices ars holding firm on the short
pack better grade. Tli available supply f
salmons is less than at thia time last year and
jobbers hsve bought conservatively and ald
close. Price for tuns and other California
fish packs are unsettled, vwing to kern com
petition and higher prices demanded by - fuh-
ermem.
I nsettlement in the canned goods situation
also prevaila in th Pacific Northwest, according
to telegrams from' Seattle. ' Although stnrks are
greatly depleted, price are low and tliere ts
utile demand. Canned salmon packs are on a
par with last year's prlc likewise.
The packs in the Northwestern state in gen
eral are lo per cent abova tli average. St
Paul reported today. The 'price tendency ia
downward, but the decline will be email be
cause the prodnrUon coat line baa already been
approached. klinneaota'a corn -park is short
however, and the amount of beans for canning
has been cut -down by protracted hot weather.
Prices Lower at Ohleeno
' Canners in the Middle West according to
word from Chicgo, are confident that they
can dispone of the entire output of the 1922
season at iirices now being quoted. Wholesal
er at last are showing real Interest In that
section, but there is no intention of esnners
to boost prices. Retail grocer who have de
ferred buying now are convinced that nothing
is to be gained by waiting for further reduc- .
tions. Price are lower than those of 1928. for
all the great staple-except canned peas.
Canned goods hold a firm poaitioa in ihe"
South and prices are stesdy, with sn abundant
supply of shrimp and lieavy oyster park In
prospect Increase in price, however, ia mot -believed
to be imminent
Reports from Boston assert that there is a
substantial carry-over from 1021 of New Eng-
land corn psck, which hss rounterbslsnred the
decreet in tha pack this srsson. Main sar
dines are weak, but canned lobsters and crabs
are in demand at steady prices.
Indicstion point to a tedy market In the
middle Atlantic states, a Philadelphia expert
declares There has not been a heavy park
of "taple. but the quality is slightly below
normal. Buying pressure would cause an ad
vance, but ao such pressure la in cvalenoa
