Newspaper Page TextME CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1925 DECLINE IN BUTTER MARKET HELD IMPROBABLE PAGE EIGHT LIGHT STORAGE HOLDINGS KEEP Portland, Aug. 26 Storage hold lugs of butter on the Pacific coast continue around five million pounds, which is a littlo more than half the stocks on hand a year afro at this time. In the fact of the light storage holding, any big decline is considered doubtful at thiH time. Just at preaenl dealers appear interested only in keeping the market low enough to allow regular makes to move Into con sumption. No change in prices to day. There la no butter being put ftwuy at these levels. On tho other hand Portland holdings ahow a alight decrease over lat week. And this in spite of tho much talked ol Minnesota arrivals. Bo far ono car load containing 800 cubeo, has come In from St. Paul. After It han been used for exhibition purposes at tho Butterniakers' convention next month, it will most likely be thrown on this market. Tho local egg market fa mark ing time with values generally steady. A cent advance on firsts to 37 cents is the only change on the dairy board for the day. East ern markets are firming up with coast extras now at tho 50 cent level in New York. This will no doubt strengthen tho local mar Live poultry market Is showing an Improved tone. Receipts are falling ofC and the demand is re ported good in all lines. Commission firms look for in creased meat shipments from the country fiom now on with prices gradually easing on. weamer con ditions arc more favorable for in creased receipts and lower values at the yards lend to weaken prices along the street. Choice light hogs today still holding at 19 to 19 H but it must be fancy stuff to bring the full market price. Choice light veal still 16 to 16 cents with tho undertone weak. Grape season is In full swing with new Tokays offered at $2.7f and fancy muscats at $1.75 a lug. Wine grapes are also coming in With prices around $1.75 a lug. Peaches are plentiful here and prices range all the way from $1.10 to $1.35 a box. Tho onion market Is weak and lower with best Walla Walla globes offered at $2.25. Oregon stocks not coming in yet but few arrivals oiling at $2. Apples arc plentiful and prices cover a wider range depending largely on variety nnd pack.

Portland, Auif. 26 The crop re port for Oregon, for the week end ing August 25, prepnred by the United States department of agri culture, follows: Cool weather prevailed most of tno weeK in northwestern counties extending to other portions of the state toward tho close of the week, culminating In heavy frost in some central ana eastern localities. Rain fell ovr tho greatest part of the state Saturday and Sunday. The precipitation exceeded ono Inch on tno southern coast, and over con- siuerauie areas elsewhere was suf ficient to be of material benefit to VGITGifttlnn nnd tn hrek (ha nnrni.t ot rorest rircs. Cereals Lltt le small rain re. mains to be harvested except In tho more elevated districts and threshing is well Advanced. The rain caused some de av in thresh ing, but isthoug ht to have done mtie damage. Corn was some what Improved by rain, but in eastern counties suffered some lo cal injury from frost. Plowing for winter wneat nag been facilitated by the rain, but in most sections moro rain is needed. Fruits ta.to fruits will be help by the rain. Picking of Bartlott pears is complete in sojne sections, and picking of Howell pears is un der way. Picking and canning of evorgreen blackberries are pro gressing. Oregon peaches are in market in fair quantity. Meadows, pastures and ranges Cutting oT the third crop of al falfa is practically complete in Hume southern countries and cut ting of the. second crop Is advanc ing In central counties. Haying was somewhat delayed by rain. Hulling of clover seed is in pro gress. Pastures have been some what revived by rain. Feed on the higher ranges is holding out well, but In many places domestic pastures, where not irrigated are insufficient for the needs of stock. livestock Mont ranee stock is In good condition, and the markets are well supplied with beef and mutton, but some domestic stock, is falling. , Miscellaneous Picking of earlv I hops has been somewhat interfer-1 ed with by rain. Lnto hops are do ing wen. gome late potatoes will bo helped by tho rain, but some are too far advanced. Tomatoes and melons aro fairly plentiful. Onion pulling Is in progress. various Salem canneries on the pear pack, which throughout will probably bj aa large or larger than ever before. Some of the canneries are reported to have slightly smaller packs than here tofore while others are said to have larger packs. The women employed, it is esti mated, will average along about $3 a day, although some go as high as $4 on pieco work. But on the $3 average tills represents a pay roil of $4500 a day pouring in from the canneries, most of which is distributed nmonf local merchants almost directly. 1500 WOMEN EMPLOYED IN PEAR PACKING HERE It Is estimated that fully 1500 Womon nre now employed in the lHEAT ES Chicago, Aug, 2fl Wheat open ed unchanged to cent down, with September at SI. 59 to li.r.uu, and December at $1.57 tn $1.57,4 but before the first hour had passed September tnuchpil $1.58 and December $1.5C4.

The use of steam en gines in airplanes was predicted byT)r. John S. Haldane at the an- finual meeting of the Institute of Mining Engineers. In the course of a paper on coal md ateam, Dr. Haldane said in the very near future he believed steam engines would tke the place of nternal combustion engines to a very great extent, and that future levclopment of the steam engine would be along the lines of in creased steam pressure with small er and lighter engines. The com plete engine ani boiler would be much smaller and lighter than an equivalent internal combustion mrvine, and would in nil probabil ity be more suitable nnd even su poiror for use in airplanes and mo tor cars. Chicago, Aug. 26 (By Associat ed Press) Two words better and bumper were the predominant notes in reports from agriculture throughout the mid-west today. Several sections reported bump er crops, many reported better crops, and all heard from reported better prices for farm products; but the high note was the reportof better "financing conditions" which came from communities where early freezo and later drought se verely uaniagea crops, in these sections tho farmers faced their ancient field enemies buoyed up by tho prospect that better prices and uetter business conditions would more than offset tho damage. Statistics compiled by the Na tional Bank of Commerce of St. Louis state that while three years ago a given quantity of farm pro ducts when exchanged for indus trial goods wa worth only C8 per cent uf its 1913 exchange value, now it is worth 97 cents. William Martin, chairman of the board of the federal reserve bank of St. Louis, said there is increas ed purchasing power in the coun try due to large crops and higher prices. Everett C. Brown, president of tne unicagp Livestock Exchange, after a thToe weeks' trip in the western fanning country, said this yeai a corn crop was tho biggest ever raised. Ho reported also the greatest scarcity in many years of uic lancy cattle ami predicted that money would bo made out of the corn crop by feeding it to live stock. In Minnesota both grain and livestock marketing showed in creases over a year ago. A bumper crop of small grain and corn production above the av erage were predicted In Iowa. Charles D. Reed, director of the towa weather and crop reporting service, predicted a corn average of 40.5 bushels per acre, Oats, bar ley and wheat threshed more heav ily than expected. In Nebraska, A. E. Anderson. state and federal crop statistician said thatMite surveys convinced him there was a possibility for ex- eeuing last year s corn crop of 03,000,000 bushels. Although Kansas harvested one of its smallest wheat crops, about 68,000,000 bushels, better prices were expected to compensate part ly. Corn In Knnsas was estimated at a little over 100,000,000 bushels. J. C Mohler, secretary of the Kan sas state board of agriculture, said late rains have assured abundant feed and conditions that can hard- ; ly be beaten for fall seeding of wheat. I ALBANY PLAN!

AVhat Is to be worked out Is whether the market rail carry a bean of thin kind In a profitable manner for canner, grower and nil concerned. The bean now being imod cannot be raised on ordinary soil hero un der ordinal y conditions.
