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

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

and picking of Howell pears is un

evorgreen blackberries are pro

Cardiff. 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
