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.

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.

' Tho butter market, which has
followed an upward trend since
June, is now far above last year's
level, according to a report Just
issued by the Sears-Roebuck Agri
cultural Foundation,
"While the bulk of the winter
advance has already been made,
some further gains are probable.
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."

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.

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.

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.
