BUT PRICES LOW
Portland, Jan. 17 In Uie hop
mark-'t a stronger tone is apparent
which would indicate that another
advance in prices is about due.
(rowers are taking this view, and
many of those who still have hops
uofiold believe the market will
reach 20 cents before long.
What has niotst impressed hold-
era h:is beon tbe fact that during
tbe recent counli y-whle cold pell
there was no decline In the m;
ket at anv point. Usually under
such conditions the demand has
fallen off. Tills leads hop men to
believe that In the ".ate winter and
spring months the market may be
in a still stronger position.
Current price In the northwest
are 144i15c. The better grades
ate about at the former level, but
the lower grades have moved up
miarnly and buyers have to pay
as much for them as for the best
hops.
The purchase of 900 bales has
just been made by McISVff Bros.,
of Portland. Of these, 600 bales
were Yakima hops and 300 bales
Calif ;imtas. Prices paid) rainged
up to 15 cents. The (tune firm
closed n contract for 60.000 pounds
or rakimas or the 1925 crop.
ItiiU of 14 4 cents have been'
made for western Washington
hops. In the (Sonoma district of
Culifornia, where only 3100 hales
remain unsold, buyers were ofier
ii g l.'rrl5 cents, fp to 14 cents
was bid for Mcndochms,
Tbe Kuropean markets are firm
er, and imported hops have advanc
ed to $1.13 at New York, (icrinan
dealers predicted that priceA would
rif-e after New Year's, which prov
ed :o be the case. Continental
crop- are reported well no!d up.
which Mhouhi stimulate the foreign
demand for American hops before
ling.
STATE DAIRYMEN TO
MEET AT M'MINNVILLE
Portland. 17 lletween 200
aid 300 farmers, feel manufactur
ci s and " de.ilrrs, legislators and
state eecutivi are expected to at
tend action of the State Hairy
.issociati'Mi Tuesday and Wednes
day in McMiunvllle. as well as a
pree-eo:iventlon meeting Monday.
Such matters as production of
dairy farms, the Ri"wlnj of alfalfa
In the Willamette valley, and leg
iflatbm will be Taken up.
Oleo Is expected to be the sub
ject of conldcr:iblo dW isMon.
The Oregon prune has reached
every continent on the globe with
the exception of Africa, according '
a survey made by local prune
men and It Is possible the lowly
li.rune may rea.-h somewhere Into
timt continent indirectly from
Oregon. Lip to last year South Am
erican market) had been untouch
ed but that year a quantity of
Oregon prunes were shipped Into'
Hue in is Aires, and It La believed
that South America may eventual-
become a recognized market for
the Oregon product.
JvHtlmut.es compiled by north
west prune growers and association
men dis.:lono that exports already
have parsed any previous mark and
that iwj, and poswibly three, times
more prunes from the Pacific
northwest will be exported this
year than everv before.
r.ven to It!y, ttie native home
of the Italian prune, fruit with a
northwest label ha3 been sent.
Residents of the ancient seaport
town of Joppa, in Syria, received
shipments, as did ports such as
Helslngfors, in Finland, Hamburg,
in f iermany, Havre. Copenhagen,
Stockholm, Christiana, Naples,
Bordeaux, London, Liverpool and
Ulnsgow.
Short prune crops In France and
Italy are given as reasons for the
unusual demand for prunes from
the northwewt In Europe during the
present ecason. The article forms
an lntportant part of the diet of
the Kuropean of the middle class
and the northwestern prune close
ly resembles that to which those
markets are accustomed.
The North Pacific Cooperative
Prune exchange, which includes 10
locals and approximately 40 per
cent of the western Oregon grow
ers, has thus far handled about
5.000,000 pounds. Roughly speak
in, 3,750,000 pounds have been sent
to foreign countries. Officials of
the exchange said that the crop
had been about half handled,
which would put the foreign ship
ments In excess of 7,500,000
pounds from the members of the
association and the domestic sales
at 2,500,000 pounds.
In Washington 4,500,000 pounds
have been shipped through the
Washington tlrowers Packing cor
poratlon, which handles a substan
tial proportion of that state's
prunes. About 65 per cent of the
fruit of the Washington corpora
tion lias been sent to Europe.
That the opportunity for the
sale of prunes from the northwest
which presented Itself after the
failures of the European crops,
will prove a means of obtaining a
permanent foot hold abroad is the
belief of prune men.
Germany bought about 35 per
cent of all the prunes sent to Eu
rope this year. With a food short
age and deaplte more or less in
secure economic conditions, Ham
burg has been made the distri
buting point for several millions of
pounds of dried fruit from Oregon
One of the peculiarities of the Ger
man trade, to which the shippers
have acceded. Is the preference for
bags as containers rather than the
i' sunt 25-pound and 60-pound
boxes.
Next In order In extent of pur
chases was England, which will
take-about 30 per cent. A smaller
amount will be used in England
than in Germany, however, be
cause of the fact that a portion
of the 30 per cent was to have been
reshlpped to llritlsh possessions in
the south and Far East.
The Scandinavian countries. In
cluding Denmark, Sweden, Norway
and Finland, ranked next in
amount purchased, ani were re
garded by officials as the most
suitable customers of any on the
list. Prunes were sent to countries
of southern Europe, although quan
titles were not appreciable. Con
siderable supply was sent to cities
of the Balkan states, and there was
a shipment to Naples. Belgium re
ceived a substantial quantity.
Milk prices to producers In the
Pacific group of eta tea, which ln-
cludej Oregon showed no chani;e
for December as compared with
the preceding month and consid
erably lower the same months la.-t
year, according to a report of the
Sears-Roe buck Agricultural Foundation.
While the rnnge of prices paid
producers is wide, depending some
average price for standard graden
milk, 3.5 per cent butterfat, fur
Docember fn this territory was
$2.60 per hundred pounds as com
pared with $2.90 for December a
year ago.
Prices paid by dealers for this
quality raw milk delivered at the
freight stall oils In Salem are re
ported by the government to be
$1.75 per hundredweight. This fig
ure may be compared with the av
erage above quoted ns being paid
to producers throughout the ter
ritory, not forgetting to make al
lowances for freight and handling
charges between the country ship
ping station and the city terminal
m which the dealer received it.
The prevailing retail price of
standard grade milk delivered bot
tled to the family trade here is 12
cents per quart, the report states.
Some typical prices for equivalent
milk in other cities are as follow?:
Birmingham, Ala 17 to 18c
Chicago, 111 i4c
Peoria, III 12c
