PRUNE ADVANCE
IS SEEN DAILY
Prunes are advancing almost
daily these days. A 10-cent base Is
being paid by packers to growers
In the field for Santa Claras run
ning to average the larger sizes. Old
crop prunes are so nearly a thing
of the past that they may be consid
ered out and all factors here are
now in the market quoting new
crop prunes, says the California
Fruit News. The crop Is falling down
and packers generally do not be
lieve that there are many unsold
prunes In the hands of growers out
side of the association. The gov
ernment crop report as of August
1 reports a decline In the condi
tion of prunes from the high tem
peratures In June and July, which
caused a heavy drop. This has
applied particularly to the Sacra
mento and San Joaauln valleys.
Red spider Is also reported as seri
ous In the Santa Clara valley in
prunes. Estimates of the crop are
being reduced and are getting down
to be not very much above half of
last year for California. The world's
prune production this year as com
pared with last looks today like
75.000 tons short.
Packers have been buying prunes
very actively In the country lately
but have somewhat slacked up un
der price advances. In the Pacific
northwest the prune production Is
not showing quite so large an In
dication m earlier, according to
present belief, and a very lame nro-
portton of the tonnage In Northwest
Italians has already been bought
irom growers by packers, quota
tions here on Oregon-Washington
Italian prunes, are, In 29-pound

BOTTOM DROPS
FROM MARKET,
CHICAGO WHEAT
Chicago Oft The bottom dropped
out of the wheat market Wednesday
and prices shot dowi lower than the
trade has seen for some tune. The
extremely heavy selling pressure was
brought by the announcement of
the embargoing- of Minneapolis and
Duluth to oats, rye and barley, as
the trade feared a like embargo on
wheat. Again, with no exports re
ported of any volume and wheat
pouring into the primary terminals
operators fear a tie-up of great ex
tent.
Corn dropped lower with wheat
after a strong opening, and oats
were fractionally lower although
remarkable firmness was shown
throughout the session.
At the close, wheat was off b
to 6 5-8 cents, corn was 4 to 1 5-8c
lower and oats were down to
1 cents. By the month, September,
March and May wheat were off 5-
5-8 cents and December was down
5H cents.
Cash corn was unchanged to half
cent lower. Offerings to (arrive from
the country were 97 cars estimated.
Oats receipts at Chicago were 173
cars, cash grain was cent lower.
Portland (IP) A sudden bearish
attack on Portland wheat markets
Wednesday sent prices down and
caused the largest volume of trading
recoraea on me new futures mar
ket.
Losses of iy to 3 cents a bushel
were shown at the close of the fu
tures option market while the mer
chants exchange cash prices were
aown 4 w 4 cents.
The break was caused bv unoffi
cial reports from France of a crop
oi approximately dOU,uuu,UUU to 400,
000,000 bushels.
PEACHES DROP
IS LATEST WORD
Peach production In the United
States Is turning out to be but one-
third of the earlier estimates this
on, which were favorable for a
large crop, due to the ravages of the
pium curcuuo, according to a re
cent .statement made by Dr. A. L.
Quaintance, associate chief of the
bureau of Entomology of the United
states department of agriculture,
in the California Fruit News. The
present crop, he said, Is particu
larly disappointing In the middle
Atlantic states, the central states
and the south. The large neach
surplus last year, by making con
ditions more favorable for the plum
curcuuo, prevented another large
year and this season's crop turned
out far below expectations. Due to
the surplus last year, many peaches
rotted on the trees and went to
waste In the orchards, thus form
ing Ideal conditions for the spread
of this fruit pest.
WOODBURN CANNERY
ADDS TOEQUIPMENT
The Ray-Brown company has
been busy the past month adding
new machinery and equipment to
take care of the Increased tonnage
of pears. and other fruits which It
has already contracted, says a state
ment by E. J. Hodge, superintend
ent. "It has been rumored that the
force of help would be materially
reduced due to this new equipment
however, this Is not true as a larg
er crew of women will be employed
to prepare the fruit than were a
year ago and registrations are be
ing accepted daily," continued Mr
Hodge.
"Bartlett pears are now coming
In at the rate of four cars per day
and operations on the fruit is ex
pected to start Monday, August 26.
After the completion of the pear
and prune run, apples will be can
ned and It Is expected that the
season will last until December 15

RAILROADS PUT
EMBARGO UPON
OAT SHIPMENTS
St. Paul W) All railroads fn
the northwest Wednesday, ordered
an embargo on shipments of rye,
barley and oats from August 23 to
August 31 in compliance with re
commendations made Tuesday by
the northwest shippers' advisory
board.
Lack of storage space at termin
al elevators and warehouses In
mlnneapolis, 8t. Paul, Duluth and
Superior was given as the reason
for the embargo. Officials of the
shippers advisory board said they
hoped further embargoes might
be avlded, although the move
ment of grain about September 1
will govern the decision at that
time.
Loading and unloading of cars
at terminal markets have been de
layed, It was pointed out, because
of sluggish demad for rye, barley
and oats, which have been support
ed In unusually heavy amounts for
this time of year. The heavy
movement of these grains has ham-
pered movement of wheat, corn and
flax, for which there Is a more
active market.

complete over considerable areas
and is advancing rapidly elsewhere.
The summary follows:
Cereals: Irrigated com Is doing
well, and the same is true of some
unirrigated fields that have been
well cultivated, but most unirri
gated com Is badly in need of rain.
Fruits: picking of Bartlett pears
in progress in the Rogue river vai
ley, and will begin in the Willa

this week. Peaches are coming Into
the markets in small quantities.
Meadows, pastures, and ranges:
Haying is generally complete ex
cept for the later cuttings of alf
alfa, and in the Willamette valley
baling has been mostly done. Alf
alfa Is doing well where there Is
sufficient water. Domestic pastures
continue dry, and the higher ranges
are showing the effect of continued
drought.
Live stock: drying up of pastures
and ranges is showing Its effect on
live stock, but no serious losses are
reported.

LOGAN RETURNS
REDUCED HALF
FROM LAST YEAR
William McOllchrist, Jr. who
last year saw his 60 acre logan
berry yard produce 110 picked tons)
of berries, with from so to 40 kit
on the vines when the cannery call
ed off deliveries, this year saw but
60 tons picked from the H arm.
Tha 110 tons were sold at cento
a pound or a return of $11,000 as
compared to 60 tons sold at 44
cents a pound or return of tMOO,
or a difference of S5600 In the re
turn on the yard In two fears.
The overhead, with the exception of
the cost of picking, was ths same)
fore the two years and In addition
there was a heavy cost for fertlll
aation, an application of a 50-56)
preparation of nitrate of soda and
superphosphate, 500 pounds to tha
acre being put on the patch to)
addition to 100 tons of straw.
Mr. McOllchrist figures that tha
cold spring was responsible for
the short crop this year, as ho
states that the yard was spotted
all through with berries which nev
er matured and which Just start
ed to grow and make berries.
Re believes that the future of
the loganberry Industry lies largely
In what is done In the development,
of the frown berry market. Bus
father on a trip to England last
year made considerable Inquiry and
reached the belief that England can
raise all the loganberries It needa
for Its own consumption and It waa
the English market which two years
ago caused the revival of the lo
ganberry Industry. The wgrii
market wanted the logans because
of a failure of the raspberry crop.
As the raspberry crop fails only
now an then this cannot be de
pended on to keep the loganberry
going at any very high rata of
peed.
"The future of the loganberry
depends upon the American mar
ket,1' stated McOllchrist, "and I be
lieve its place there will depend
upon how the frozen berry eventu
ally goes over.'1
