Carlot movement of fresh fruits

northwest took a decided drop in

originating In this territory, com
pared with 2100-2200 cars of the
preceding two weekly periods.
Shipments from Idaho, Washing

Apples 662 ears, mixed fruit 1,
mixed vegetables S, onions (,
pears 14, potatoes 1023, ruta
bagas 1, spinach 3 and cauliflower
32 cars.
The current decline In move
ment is altogether logical, and to
be expected. The apple exporting
season Is practically terminated;
and this overseas movement has
been taking a goodly portion of
the northwest's 800-1000 car ship
ments. Onion and pear storages
are almost depleted, and move
ment of these commodities drop
ped to the lowest levels of the
season. Potato shipments held up
well In all districts, with active
loadings ot purchases effected dur
ing th buying boom of two to
three weeks ago. '

drawn from the repeated steadi
ness of th market for undergrade
butter while .top scores reflact
weakness and price cuts." The.pub
11c Is demanding the lower score
offerings.- Price may be the consid
eration but th fact remains that
much of the tlm recently tbe low
est score butter on the market has
sold at practically the same price
as the extreme 'top score and at
Intervals th differential between
top and bottom score Is but 1 and
So pound. . ' -
During th Initial session of the
week the-Portland produce ex
change prica t all cube butter
was down le pound again con
forming to the lower butter value.
Roth changes were expected In
view of the Increasing surpluses
along the coast. . :
. There was no change In the egg
market situation for the day. Th
local co-ops are maintaining their
prices. but some -underselling by
outsiders is reported. Receipts
continue heavy.

ehlckens is rather. week along th
wholesale way with prices Inclin
ed to drop even lower. Both light
and medium hens are steady with
heavy stuff firm. Turkeys con
tinue In steady call.

suggested 1n the market for coun
try killed calves. Receipts recent

Floods: Season's t
ther may b another spell of
high water, for there Is reported
a great deal of .snow left 1b the
mountains. Last year hundreds of
seres wer planted and up when
the water swooped down In a tre
mendous flood and cost the onion
men thousands of dollars In la

The drain ditches ar Inade
quate to hold the baek waters of
Pudding .River, from which th
water comes, and several days of
heavy- rain is usually sufficient to
send the water over the banks.
Hayes Lablsh Farms la rumored
to b planning an additional hun
dred acres of onions for th com
ing year, which will bring the to
tal onion acreage ther to more
than 300. This year the company
sold a great share of Its crop for
$4.00 per hnndred. In preparation
for th coming season, workmen
ha v been repairing and -repainting
buildings, and new machinery
has been bought. The Hayes com
pany has a crew busy in Brooks,
building a private warehouse be
side the railroad tracks. This will
eliminate th overhead of handl

trees and -to disc the land. Straw
berry men have planted a few
acres additional.
There remains only two er
three cars ot onions left. The de
mand for them Is not brisk. The
price hovers around f 6.50.
