PAGE EIGHT OREGON POTATO CROP SUFFERED LITTLE E; THAN 10 PER CENT Portland, Jan. 1 Oregon pota to crap Buffered very little from the fieezins temperature that pro vailed during the past two weeks. There were a few lou, poorly pro tected that were caught and cuf fered a total Iom. Some damuK'e was also reported around the Mt. Angel and Woodhurn sections but the state as a whole was prepared tor the cold snap and came thru in good shape. No accurate estimate of the dam ape Is available at this time a very little loss has been reported. If the damage had been severe there would have been some definite figures out by this time. K. L Itinger, government market re porter, believes that the loss will not amount to 10 per cent. Oregon's potato crop this sea son will run em than four mil lion buHhelM. according to late es timates and the crop has hardly started to move. Only a nominal amount of buMnww has been trans acted In local potatoes and prlcuj continue to rule around $1 25 to $1.35 for U. S. No. 1 grade at lend irz points. As high as $1.50 and $1.75 ha been realized on some fancy bakers. Belling prices along the street range around $2 a buMh- i for good stock. Butter displayed an easier tone at the end of the week with cuhee lower on the exchange. Kxtran were post a cent lower at 46 cents while standards and prime firsts each declined a half cent at 44 and 41 4 cents respectively No change was made in print prices. Eggs closed steady ami unchang ed at the final board ennlon. Receipts enmo In heovy after the cold snap ended a stocks Had ac cumulated In the country. Mghter receipts are expected during the coming week owing to a lainn off In the lay.

In rpile of the large yield of the United States crop, prices of oats improved along with the general upward trend of prices of all grains. Ten or twelve cents mere than last year was the average Increase in the market. Before the war outs averaged about 7o per cint as hK'h ai corn. Now, with the corn crop a failure and prices correspond ingly high, oa lit are leas tl an hair the prico of corn. This disparity naturally will result In an IncreaHlngly neavy consumption of oats on the farm and haa tended to raise the prb'o of oats. iCeceipts at prlirary markets were heavy after the 112 I harvest, reiM'hing a record rate it movement late In August and early In Sep tember, fiy the middle of Lect-mber, however, receipts had droppvl off more than 75 per cent from the peak. At visible sup,ily terminals a. large stock areuinulr.ud, December 6 recording 67,250,000 bushel in warehouses and afloat; but In view of the shortage of corn and the consequent demand for cats this supply Is not burdensome. The probability Is that the price of oats will fellow the nrlces of all other grains upward until the visible supply is reduced. It Is well withlr. the bounds of supposition to believe that oats may then make an independent Impression on a higher price; for. with a lowered sup ply, and other feeds likewise high particularly corn c jnsurai-ra might well p:iy n.ore for oars. 233 Gallons of Booze Destroyed Here During Year Two hundred and thirty-three gallons of hff;li proof booze, a genuinely niuile-iii-.Murioii-coiiaty, went down Into (lie sewer during. the past yeur at the behest vt Sheriff Bower, as a result of oeiz urcti made piinripmiy by the sher iff's office, -ccordhiK to a report for the year Just completed by Deputy Sheriff Hoy Ilremiuer.

Jut now growers are interested In the coming sale of the Jericho, Utah pool. Country dressed meats cloed on a nominal basis nround a 15 cent top on fancy veal nnd 14 H cents on choice light hou.

Church St. rhona 8S4 n THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON I Onre more active efforts have developed to bring about a local late on prunes between Portland and Salem on a parity with the rate between San Joee and San ('ranewco In California, this time with some chance of the effoi is being successful. Robert C. Paul us has opened up the fire this time and Is interesting all local packers in the movement. Heretofore all of the guna have been fired at the Southern Pacific which dominates the situation be tween Son Jone and Han Francisco and the efforts have been made to get that railorad company to do the same thing here, but all such moved have been without success. The present movement Is direct ed at officials of the Oregon Elec tric and from every Indication at the present time those officiate are Hhowing a considerable degree of interest in the matter. Tills In terest Is probably aec?Ierated by the fact that motor trucks are tak ing virtually all of thia local busi ness between here and Portland and with a rate on a parity with the California local rate much of it would probably go back to the railroad company. The rate between San Jose and San Francisco Is 7 cents and the effort being made Is to get an identical rato here. In fact Iden tical conditions exist. The dis tance between San Jose and San Francisco la exactly the same as between Salem and Portland and the same sort of potential water competition exists. Previous efforts have been made with the Southern Pacific to get a better rate into Canaili, the San Francisco rate to certain Canadian points being better than the rate from here to the rmis print he eaiiso of the local differential ex isting:.

BOOM FOR MORE GOOD USED CARS, SAYS WRIGHT "Thero la now one car to every six people in this community," says Jiyron Wright, manager of the Certified Public Motor Car Market of Satom. "It would then seem to tho average observer that the chances for automobile sales would be very slim for the coming year. There are stili hundreds of families who for one reason or other, have not made up their minds to buy, but In whom exists nevertheless, the same inborn de sire for a car and all that a car means in health and happiness. There remain, too, the thousands of families who now own small cars and wish they had larger ones. "This vast additional market awaits the used car needing only the instilling of confidence, and the ur.ie of good merchandise and fair dealing, to yl.'ld Its harvest to any reliable firm. And the chances for increasing sales In this mark 3t is nil the richer now be cause better times are In i turned! ate prospect people who felt poo: a year ago now have the mean to Indulge their desires. "The fact that, the Certified Market sold eight cars the four day following Christmas would indicate that a good many people feel that a used car properly con ditioned, la a good investment.' Ed & Nadia Hurray "A Radio Romeo" LFII Portland, Jan. 3 The wool mar ket has not recovered from the quiet holiday period, so far as volume of business hi concerned, but values have retained all their firmness in alt domestic markets. Thia is particularly the case In Ore gon where many growers are nut disposed to sell their wool on the sheep's back except at extreme prices. So. 'lie contracting has been done, however, during the holiday sea son by the K J. Burke Wool com pany of this city, who obtained five good-sized clips at I'rinevllle at around 45 cents. There Is also a report that Mr. Iturke contracted for about three cars at Pilot Rock at a price better than 45 cents in fan, the highest price paid this aeason but the report could not be confirmed. There is much interest In the approaching sale at Jericho, Utah, as eastern Oregon wool growerH regard the Jericho pool price as a sort of Index of western wool values. It is understood that bids have been submitted on the Jeri cho pool, but the result has not been announced. Tho daily government bulletin of the Boston wool market said: "Several lots of wool suitable for heavyweights, which Included some second clipped Montevideo wool of 56 to 58 quality, and also some western have moved on the local niarliW. This particular line of pulled stock sold for 7Hc to 82c. Speciality lines are also showing some activity at very firm prices." Salt I,ake City, Utah. Jan. 3 Over one million fleeces ap proximately 10.000,000 pounds of wool have been contracted for 1925 in Utah at an average price of 45 cents per pound, according to estimates made public by the Utah State Wool Growers' associa tion. The estimated total Utah production of wool this year is 18,000,000 pounds. Close estimates made bv local packers indicate that there are not over Id cars of 30-40 prunes in the state, at the extreme out aide, with possibly only 12 or 13 cars left. These would have been sold long ago If holders would let them go in straight sizes, but be cause of the preponderance of 40s in tne i24 crop, the 30s have not been going out only except in rare instances, unless going out assort ed with 40s or 50. Tho 30s left are consNwed a mere drop in the bucket for this time of the year and could be sold anv da v. Thev will assist some In bolstering the maricet on us and gaining the 9 cent price that is looked for on those sizes before the selling sea son is over. Dr. B. H.
