ilSE IN BUTTER
PRICES TALKED;
EGGS STEADY
Portland. Ore. (IP) Present con
dttions in the butter trade Indicate
an early upward swing In the price.
Make la decreasing somewhat at
mast points and a further loss Is
expected during the coming week.
In the egg trade there was again
a lack of general change In the
price list generally throughout the
country. Receipts of fresh stock
are decreasing but short held stor
age is being withdrawn In supply.
Extreme scarcity of country
killed calves Is creating unusual
conditions In the trade. . There is
usually a shortage of calves at this
period or the season but the pres
ent showing Is below normal.
In the potato trade there Is an
extremely strong tone here and
generally.
Prices are higher In spots.
While there is no real weakness
In the present situation, country
killed hogs are showing a season
able slow movement. Lambs arte
scarce and in demand. Beef Is
fairly steady again.
The temporary shortage of toma
toes Is being somewhat relieved and
has resulted In mixed price views.
Quality Is Improving and this Is
a direct aid to the demand.

REID, MURDOCH
PAYING BUT SIX
CENTS IS CLAIM
Manager Yoakum of Reld, Mur
doch li Company made It plain
Thursday that hi company hasn't
bought any seven cent Marsnan
strawberries In this section but
stated that it has bought 300 tons
at n cents. Incidentally he stal
ed that they bought the Hubbard
pool at S!4 cents.
Thla Information Is interesting to
grower In this locality who have
been watching closely the opera
tion of the new company and what
position It will hold in regard to
the market. The fact that quite
considerable Jags of Marshalls
have been signed up at seven cents
by other buyers is an Interesting
angle on this situation.'
Yoakum stated that his company
had not out in a bid for the Wood-
burn pool and had been turned
down, although information to thl
elfect had been given to the Journ
al the preceding day by a director
of the association,
voakum said that what hap
pened waa that the Woodburn peo
ple approached hi company and
asked for a price on berries, that he
told the pool the company was
making a price but would be Inter
ested In hearing a price from the
twii and that the pool evidently
decided not to make one at this
"me. , ... ,
Not all growers have sold their
strawberries and they have a feel
ing as previously expressed that to
sell at seven cent now is unneces
sary a evidently conditions are all
set lor a seven cent price no ma.w:i
what happens and It may go even
higher.
Every report that comes In Indi
cates that there will be a complete
cleanup in fruit in the hands of
canneries bom in uregon ana Cali
fornia long before next fruit har
vest begins to get under way and
with both coast sections short, witn
likelihood that the same situa
tion will exist in Washington, these
growers feel there 1 no particular
reason to rush into any six or even
seven cent contract and one good
authority. In the canning game on
the other side of the fence has in
timated a much.
The fact that not so long since a
good big tonnage of Marshall
strawberries rotted on the vines.
that the barrel market also not so
long since went all to pieces and
things looked dark for a short tune
for the strawberry situation, caused
number of growers to grasp at
the six cent contract when it was
waved before their noses. But the
six cent signers were not unani
mous by a long shot.
Growers who have watched the
situation at all could be pretty
nearly In a position to realize that
their signature on a six cent con
tract were altogether unnecessary
as there Isnt one chance In
thousand, from Information gath
ered irora most excellent sources.
that there could possibly be any
thing under a six cent price now or
in anyming like the near future.
Regardless of this, because of the
bump which were taken, a number
signed up at six cents, some at
seven cents, and there is a good
chance that some will sign up at
even better than that before the
iinai story is told.

HIGHER TARIFF
ON WOOL LEFT
OUT BY SENATE
Washington (IP Mindful of the
presidential election defeat after
the old schedule K. wool fight of
20 years ago. republican members of
the senate finance committee have
decided to eliminate the 34 cent
basic wool rate of the house tariff
bill and stand for 31 cents, the

The only republican presidential
overturn of thl century has been
attributed by students of politics
In Washington to the fight over the

leading the rebellion against the
republican rate, and contending It
would materially increase the once

Arrival of that political storm
which resulted In the defeat of
William Howard Taft for re-election
In 1913 was threatened this
year by those oposed to the high
wool rate, after the bill had passed

OF HOP PICKERS
IN LOCAL YARDS

fuggles a early as the 19th of the

will start a soon if not sooner.
Probably by August 23 or 29 the
picking of both early clusters and
fuggles will be well under way.
Although grower have been reg
istering pickers ever since July 8
and many are signed up, neverthe
less a little worry Is being expres
sed over the possibility of a picker
shortage, as as far a known no
body has reported having a full
quota of pickers while last year
at this time last year everybody
waa lull to overflowing.
It is thought the answer to this
Is found in the short crop on ear

have brought In large numbers of
pickers who have loitered over for
the hop season. Tills year not so
many came in and many left be

Prune growers are watching the
hop picking situation witn interest
as there is a bumper crop of prunes
to start picking about the time the
hops will be over and a shortage of
hop pickers will worry them a bit.
Prices for hop picking are sche
duled along the usual lines, 80 cent
a box when picked by box and 81
a hundred when picked by weight.
Cluster picking Is expected to
start around September 3rd or 4th
thl year.
The fuggle and early cluster
crops are expected to run about
the same aa last year and the clus
ter possibly a little heavier. There
are 2042 acres of fuggles to pick.
1822 acres of early clusters and
13,518 acres of cluster.
The influx of the thousands of
pickers for the main crop is ex
pected to start right after labor
day which falls on September 2
this year. In the meantime ar
rangement are getting under way
for putting the campgrounds In
condition and to prepare for
handling the army which annually
lands in the yards to take down
the crop.
The biggest fly In the ointment
la the market. The latest sale re
ported Is of 75 bales by Sloper
brothers to Ray at 15 cents a
pound in a market which he
averaged half a cent cheaper for
some time. It Is reported there
are 2750 bale of the 1928 crop to
