VISIT 111 EUE Salem Markets Local Tegetablesjof alWypes, with the exception f-tomatoes, beans, and a few others, are un usually plentiful, due to favor able growing conditions, Includ ing an abundance of moisture and absence of killing frosts. Prices are reasonable, on all these vegetables. Many local potato growers are holding their No. 1 stocks for $1.50 per cwt., and are now stor ing most of their production. Southern Idaho, Yakima valley Deschutes and Parkdale are about 90 per cent dug. Klamath Falls potatoes are only about SO per cent -harvested however. There is virtually no carlot onion business at Portland. De mand Is fair, but motor-truck operators are keeping the local market well supplied with Ore gon onions, at very low prices 40 to 0c per cwt. Cauliflower shipments are now very light from all competitive districts, and Portland's cash track market for carlots has raised to $1.10-1.15 per crate.

(AP) Scoring a brisk rally in the late dealings, prices for wheat and corn today finished at a substan tial net advance. Assertions of rust damage to the Argentine wheat crop had considerable market Influence, and so like wise did enlargement of wheat export business from North America. There was also a re newal of talk that the Wicker sham committee which meets oa November 5 would recommend legalizing 4.4 per cent beer. FIRMER TREriD FOR ens mi n Domestic grain markets devel oped a slighly firmer tone during the week ending October 25. with a good demand prevailing for the light offerings of most grains ac cording to the weekly grain mar ket review of the United States bureau of agricultural econom ics. Domestic mills were active buyers of good milling wheat, while feeders and industries ab sorbed feeding grades readily. Farm consumption of wheat is reported fairly heavy, and cash wheat prices advanced relatively more than futures. Feed grains were steady, but demand for corn, was of only moderate volume, as buyers gen erally were awaiting increased receipts from the new crop, and were not inclined to buy freely at present v relatively high prices.

Department of Agri j culture Indicates a smaller tur ! key crop in prospect than last I year, market conditions Indicate that prices will rule at relatively low levels as compared to the last several seasons. Moderate supplies have been reaching the local market during the past week however, only a fair portion of the birds have been of fancy quality, and ac cording to dealers, producers should take greater care in mar keting the choice birds on the early market, thus giving the small and less desirable birds a chance to Improve for the later holidays. Prices for the moment are rul ing generally around 34 cents for fancv Toms and 3S cents for wsm UKt QUOTATION Domestic barley markets held generally steady during the week ending October 26, with a good demand from feeders and indus tries absorbing the relatively light offerings, according to the weekly barley marlret review of the United States bureau of agri cultural economics. Foreign mar kets continued weak and there was little export inquiry for do mestic barley, so that the feed situation In the United States continued to be the dominant fac tor in the local markets. California barley markets ran ged from unchanged to slightly higher. Offerings at San Fran cisco were relatively small but principally from resellers since growers were generally holding which was about lOe per 100 above terminal market prices. Feeders and industries were the principal buyerS. Exporters took moderate amounts of the best malting: types which were in light supply. Ocean freight rates were reduced, with some quoted as low as 17s 6d per long ton, which would be equivalent to around 10c per 100. Unusually large amounts of bar ley were being fed at interior points, according to trade reports and is taking: the place of eastern corn, which is quoted $16.00 per ton higher than barley. At the close of the market Oc tober 2S No. 1 feed barley was quoted at San Francisco at $1.-02-1.05: choice feed at $1.05-1.-07; grading at $1.10-1.12 V, : shipping at $1.15-1.25: and choice malting types at $1.40-1.-50 per 100. Eastern No. S bailey was quoted at $1.35-1.38 per 100 in bulk, delivered California point.
