Slip-kra gnpea of various varieties
such as Wordens, Moores Early, Con
cord and Sim Marly tasting stock are
now at their best and prices are quite
reasonable. Owins to the very dry
summer the quality of this family of
grapes is unusually good and the stock
is sweet,
Malagas from California are prac
tically worthless at this time, therefore
consumers should demand the Oregon
product. Some fancy Malagas and To
kays are coming from Southern Oregon
and from The Dalles.
A word to consumers regarding
peaches. Non-irrigated peaches are
best, therefore it is not advisable- to
purchase Yakima stock when The
Dalles and Willamette valley as well as
Southern Oregon stock is available.
Non-irrigated peaches contain more
sugar than irrigated stock, according
to many, and thj taste speaks for it
self. Better pay a nickel or a dime
more and get the best Oregon goods.
Fall butter pears are in abundance
and are selling around JL001.25 per
box on retail market.
Some of the public market sellers
have broken away from the extreme
prices Quoted by the officials selected
by Commissioner Bigelow and are of
fering fancy tomatoes as low as 25c a
box. The commissioner still allows
sales as. high as 4c a pound, which is
far too high.
Cauliflower is now down, to 1015c
for the best heads, although Commis
sioner Bigelow still allows stall rent
ers on' the public market to charge as
much as 25c. Even they are unable
to follow his extreme prices.

SHOULD KNOW OREGON GRAPE SUPPLY
OREGON G R A P E S
BEAT COMPETITORS
By Hrrnm M. Cohen
Here's a tip to Front street and thai por
tion of the Central East Sids that house, whole
sale produce firms. Oregon produces the very
best quality Tokay grapes. It also produces
at this time of Use season tbe very . best
Uslagas.
While it is true (hat sosne wholesalers ap
pear to know this, others are mot or less
blind regarding the quality output of their state,
beemingly they will go out of their way to
pour Oregon dollars into the coffers of Cali
fornia growers when they eaa obtain better
quality at home.
Just bow with unusually poor quality of
California grapes showing, it - Is worse than
useless to' order supplies from there and ex
pect to compete with the better quality Ore
gon stock. From the standpoint of good busi
ness the wholesalers who order California,
grapes for their Oregon trade at this time ere
not only giving their customers poor service but
they are not encouraging a better product grown
in the state where they made their money
It's poor business at the best.
No better Tokay grapes are grown than in
Southern Oregon and at The Dalles. Quality
considered they have no competitors.

Foreign markets were sharply higher for
Thursday but Chicago was inclined to sag
early for options, although tbe cash situa
tion appears rather firm at most points.
Some millers are offering patent - flour
down to $6.75, a reduction of 45e- a barrel
from regular lists. Some of this is reported
to be new crop wheat and some are said to be
offering mixed old and new stock. Other
millers are still offering old crop stock. They
are quoting $7.20 per barrel at the mills,
but actual sales a re said to be made in com
petition with offerings of other millers at the
lower figures.
At the lower prices named there is a some
what improved demand for patent flour in the
home territory. Because of the possibility
of a higher price tor wheat if foreign affairs
should become worse, big buyers appear to be
willing to purchase patent at prevailing low
prices. Even the Orient is said to be taking
export grades around $4.70 4.80 for club
straight and $5.00 5.10 for bloestem cut
off. On the basis of wheat prices flour is
selling rather low.
Local trade in wheat is slowly gaining for
export grades but there still appears a dearth
of offering of bluestam, Baart and Marquis
of the milling grades. Reports from some
of the interior points indicate that millers
sre not buying wheat - This is denied by the
latter, who say tlsey are not offered milling
wheat at prices now being generally quoted.
I'.locmhall cabled from Liverpool:
The etrength in America and the steadier
tone to the Argentine markets is reflected in a
steady to firm tone in the United Kingdom.
The Continental . demand for wheat is slightly
better. There is a firm tone in corn in evi
dence with offers not pressing. Fair quantities
of American sorts are being put forward, but
holders remain firm in their ideas. Plate corn
offers are only moderate.

They wiQ continue to do so lone after tbe usual
close of navinti0& for the winter. Reports
from an the important inland shippmsT centers

every available vessel will be in operation until
ice or low water forces suspension of service.
In view- of the present railway, car shortage

Freight Tonnago Is Heavy
The tonnaxe carried ever inland waters in
the next three months will be the greatest ever
aanoiea in a similar period. : Great leases snip
ping will be taxed to capacity. ' Two hundred
thousand tons of coal are an route to Duluth
today and coal shipments on the lakes will
average well above 1,000.900 tons a week
until navigation closes. Word from Duluth
states that every vessel ' will go back loaded
to the plimsell mark with iron ore. grain or
general commodities.
Farmers who have been fetlding their grain
