Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1925 BUYERS OFFER HIGHER PRICES FOR 1926 BERRIES STRAWBERRIES Canneries out in the field con trading lor strawberries at about a half a cent higher than Die price pai'l Ifitt year mid for InKiinberriefl at nlontf about the same price, ro poi't the corralhiK of cotiHldcrnhle business nnd iiullcationfl are that berry growers In this section will have no difficulty getting their crops tid up If they desire nt prices which a few years ago were being prayed for. The loganberry situation pre sents a remarkable contrast to that of not long ago when growers, right up to picking time, had no idea whether their bcrrlcn were going into consumption or not with the feeling that ttiey would not, and when meetings were held by growers reaching out for some pos sible marketing avenue for their berries. With the development of a Brit ish market that bids fair to con tinue to make heavy demands on the American loganberry, the sit uation Is entirely different and for the first time in n number of year? eanners have scouts out Iouk Ing for berries before tho first of the vear, Kepnrtfl nre that contracting has been done on n consitlerahle scale, particularly with strawberries. The soft berries aro being contracted for canning purposes at around 7 cents when C ',4 cents was the pre vailing price last year, although at the end of the season some berries were sold at 7 cents for canning DurpoKes. Both strawberries and logans canned from tho last yoar's crop ae well as barreled strawberries are entirely celancd up and can nor nnd barreling men will go into the game next year with empty shelves, which makes a pretty fnlr outlook if conditions hold up. Tho strawberry acreage Is being materially enhanced. In thnse sec lions where Kttorsborgs have done well the bulk of the planting con tinues to be R 1 1 ersbergs. La rge blocks of Marsha I Is are being i out but these are mainly in sec tions where the Ettersbergs have not done well. In tho hill lands they are still looking for a good canning berry. Canners express tho opinion that th difficulty with Ettersbergs in the hills Is probably due to lack of moisture. One canner states that he has received somo fine ICt torsbergs from hill lands and offers the suggestion that possibly ferti lizer may have had something to do with it and that uso of fertili ser may assist in solving that problem. Canners report that there nre constantly new arrivals coming in, Incnilring particularly about straw berry culture here. Noticeable among these nre Canadians who express their desire to get away from tho Intensely cold winters and Into some new kind of a game un der n fnvnrnble climate. Tho rapid growth of the strawberry Industry hero is given credit for being re sponsible for a large number of these new arrivals. Indications seem to say that the development of I he strawberry in dustry, ns largo as it is. Is only in Its Infancy I? tills section. Wash ington produces throe or four times tho barrck'it output of this section, but under no better growing con ditions and wilh no bettor berries. Berries here In the barrel sell at a slight premium over tho east ern berry as this section has the roputation of producing a redder berry than tho eastern berry and ll Is coming more and More into domnnd. The strawberry crop is tho one crop that year in and yenr out, with few exceptions has found a ready outlet at cash prices, and last year every strawberry grown of every kind was gobbled up for cash as fast as picked.

Nov. 18. (A. P.) Another sharp coliap.se In stock prices took place In today's market with selling again inspired by fears of a further tightening of money rates anil a resultant-restriction of credits available for stock market purposes. Efforts to restore spec ulative confidence on tho long side by bidding up some of the motor tncks two to five points worn quickly abandoned when a gigantic flood of offerings appeared, con verting iheso early gains into losses of li to 17 lA points. Declaration of a 60 per cent stock dividend on common; the decision of tho Chry sler directors to split up tho stock on a four for one basis and lower ing of the renewal rate on call money to 4 H per cent, failed to torn the selling movement which reached Its greatest intensity In tho early afternoon. Chrysler fell back to 195, Hudson dropped from 106 to 87 H and Mark trucks from SO to 216. V. S. Steel common sold down to 128, American Can to 124, General Electric 20414.

November is usually the low poln. in receipts when prices reach their peak. Prospects favor a good win ter make. continues tho report made by the Foundation's observ ers. "Dairy feed Is abundant, and high butter prices as compared with last year will stimulate liberal feeding. Last year, a contrary combination resulted In n decrease of 8 per cent in production during November and December under the year previous, whereas in, tho preceding ton months, production had been fully 10 per cent larger. The shortage situation Is In a healthy shape with stocks about equal to tho five-year average, Weakness.. In English markets on the eve of the flush butter soason in the southern hemisphere sug gests of tho possibility If Imports in the next few months should do mestic prices widen tho spread over foreign markets. The fact that butter prices now stand at about one-third higher than a year ago, Is stimulating Increased production and a moderate expan sion program Is under way. This is especially noticeable In tho high er Index numbers for the East and West Dairy Belts." VALLEY ARE HELD e; Sa n Pra nclsco. Nov. IS. ( A . P. ) Western Oregon is Inadequately provided with transportation and the growers and shippers there are suffering as a result of II. F. Wig gins, rate expert of tho Oregon public service commission, testified today in an Interstate commerce commission hea ring on a pel It ion to Increase rail freight rates by 6 per cent. A petition is pending be fore the commission, lie said, for the construction of a line from Eu gene to Crane, Ore., to give the western Oregon shippers a more direct route to the eastern mar kets At present, Wiggins testified, the growers In this territory must send their products several hundred miles north or south before they can start them cast. Becnuse of this Condition higher rail rates would be Imposing a great hard ship, he said. Foster Butner, representing the fruit growers of the Umpqua val ley in Oregon, testified along sim ilar lines adding that the growers are paying up to their limit In freight tariffs now, and that thty need relief rather than higher rates.

I Before you Build oruuy a Home insist on ChedCSetd Electrical Wiring Chicago, Nov. 18. (A.P.) Sud den big shrinkage In the volume of potato shipments is arousing widespread attention of dealers and of consumers as well. Simultane ously, signs of new strengthening of potato prices are again appar ent. According to a report today by tho United States bureau of agri cultural economics, tho output of potatoes from the principal late producing states has been only 3, 900 cars in the last week, about 40 per cent less than the week before, and 1250 cars fewer than for the corresponding period last year. The volume from Idaho la welt main tained, but other states show a marked falllng-off. The truest picture of the potato supply situation, the report says. is seen by n comparison of tho pro ducllon figures from Important grouiw of states. Compared with tho 1924 crop, the present Novem ber crop estimate shows a decrease of 70,402,000 bushels In the 19 sur plus producing states, and a de crease of 31,491,000 bushels In the 16 deficient producing states, mak ing a total docren.se of 101,893,000 bushels in all the late states.

Butter and eggs are steady in the local maraet touay anu quotations are unchanged, The country dressed veal market Is stronger with choice light calves bringing 16 -cents nlong the street thl morning. Bulk of sales nt 15 ',4 t 16 cents. Choice light hogs barely steady at 16 cents. The local turkey market is steady to strong today on fancy dressed birds but weak and lower on un dergrade Btock. There are lots of No. 2 birds coming In now. This lower grade stock is piling up In loeni coolers ana there are no buy era. Prime dressed turkeys are selling at 41 to 42 cents today but the undergrades are not being taken sufficiently to establish a definite market. Considerable comment Is heard on Just how high the turkey mar ket will go for tho Thanksgiving trade. It Is generally admitted that the crop is short but prices are aireauy approximately 50 per cent higher now than they were a year ago at this time. Then they are selling at 30 to 32 cents. Today tney are selling at 42 cents strong. Turkey raisers are holding back on their shipments and this Is one or the principal bullish factors at thU time.
