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.

The oats crop nulled through the
lying The L'nltel States estimate
bur-hi ls, the third largest on record.
20t-.l'00.000 over the 1923 crop and tops the average domestic ci :iunip
tion in the Jort five years by 22 per cent, or 2-i7, 000,000 bushels.
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.

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

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.'

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.
