BUTTER CUBES
ADVANCE CENT,
CALVES WEAK
Portland, Ore. AP) Advances of
one cent pound in all cube butter
except lowest score on tne proauce
exchange for the late session was
not unexpected in view of the de
creasing make as veil as the de
sire of storage interests and Oleo
sellers to get fresh values where
demand for the latter wm vamsn.
Little life In the price of butter-
fat was indicated for the day. Two
of the big creameries were quot
ing no change in the price, at least
openly, while some plants were
naming a rise of one cent Noth
ing, however, above 62 cents wss
being reported for number one fat
Portland.
Very strong demand remains In
live chicken trade along the whole
sale way. Even some of the big
killers are Tuesday quoting extreme
values while heretofore their open
quotations were not so high. A no
ticeable gain in heavy broiler offer
ings is evident.
Weaker tone with some shading
of prices is reported In the market
for country killed calves. A cut of
on 3 cent pound in the extreme price
01 veai is reported.
Top prices generally for country
killed hogs is now 16 cents along
the street. Late reductions in the
livestock price have finally forced
the country meat trade downward.
The movement Is only fair on ac
count of weather conditions. Lambs
are steady to firm. Beef Is strong
to nigner.
The end of the Elberta peach
season Is now In sight here with
miy oaas ana enas oeing oiierea
from most sections. Yakima sup
plies are down considerably. The
J. H. Hale season is still on and
prices are held fairly well despite
uie cuts in EiDerias.
The last of early black cranber
ries from coast sections are rolling
to market. Sales are down at $6
bushel box. Cape Cod and Centen
nials are to follow immediately.
Ofeirlngs are slowly gaining.
Onion harvest Is moving well in
to warehouses.
. Strength is shown all through the
potato trade with late prices held.
. Small supplies of lower Columbia
sturgeon arriving and selling 24
cents.
, A few Crawford peaches are still
available, selling up to si.
Grape market is easy and lower
but Is better than a year ago.
. Very sluggish demand is shown
for ground cherries, f uing up.
. Fresh prunes are slow and prices
are easy to lower.

"If the people wanted to get to
gether and got at It right there
isn't any Question but what rain

CHICAGO WHEAT
RECOVERS MILD
GAIN FOR DAY
Chicago (IP) Good support on
the dips, which followed cables
telling of general rains in the Ar
gentine and that shippers there
were pressing Europe with lower
offers, brougnt wheat prices back
Into a higher range late Tuesday.
Corn was strong on a frost damage
scare, but oats were about un
changed. Provisions were uneven.
At the close wheat was to
cent higher; corn was up 4 to
cent and oats were unchanged to
cent higher.
December wheat fell to the low
est since July 13 In the first min
utes of trading on reports that the
Argentine drought appeared brok
en, and while there were rallies to
above Monday's weak close dur
ing the morning wheat was heavy
a good part of the session. Offer
ings were absorbed surprisingly well
for the character of the news avail
able. Cash wheat was one to 1H
cents lower. Receipts were 50 cars.
Corn followed an independent
course, advancing on the forecasts
of frost over the central and north
western section of the belt and
ruled very active most of the day.
Traders were Inclined to take the
weather news as an Indication of
an early fall and bought on possi
bility of damage to unmatured com.
Cash prices were cent higher.
Recepita were 123 cars.
Oats had no changes of signifi
cance during the morning and ac
tion was light. Cash prices were
unchanged. Receipts were 36 cars.
M'NARY BLOC TO
FIGHT TARIFF BILL
(Continued from page 1)
In placing shingles and logs on the
free list.
Those attending the conference
Included McNary and Btelwer or
Oregon: Jones or Washington; Od
die of Nevada; Thomas of Idaho
and Johnson of California.
They are somewhat milder In
their opposition to the bill than Is
the farm bloc but they do not in
tend to vote for the measure unless
the lumber and mining Interests of
their states and some of their other
local Interests, receive the tariff
protection which they fell has been
abundantly given to other sections
of the country.
Without their votes the republi
cans can not hope to pass the tariff
bill for their margin of majority Is
already diminished considerably by
the midwestern farm groups.
While this organization was being
Instituted, off -at age, democrats re
newed their fight against the repub
lican bill from the floor. Senator
McKellar, democrat, Tennessee, de
clared "If the republican party can
get by In passing this bill, they can
not only get by with stealing from

"This bill Injures the farmer a
great deal more tha n It helps him,"
McKellar said. "He will pa more
for his shoes andeven the blacking
he puts on his shoes. H e pays more
for his tea, more for his calomel
he takes when e Is sick , and sub
stantially more for all other drugs
ne nas to use.
"But by turning to the free list
we find he is repaid according to
the republican view because he gete
hi suncut diamonds duty free and
his diamonds at a reduced tax.
Think of the Joy this bill will bring
to the farmer when he learns he
shall ave to pay a high duty on his
diamonds!
Under this bill the farmer has
to pay more for the paints and col
ors and pigments used by his chil
dren In school; more for his chairs
and tables; more for his varnish and
his soap; more for his starch; for
his dynamite for blasting; for his

builds his house.
"But he gets his platinum free of

"He will nay more for his bottles.
his Jars, more for his kitchen uten

TRADE DELAYS
PRUNE BUYING
FROM PACKERS
Portland. Ore. (IPV While Oregon
and Clark county, Washington,
have a prune crop that Is up to the
previous record despite tne fact
that with the Increased bearing
area a greater output would be pos
slble, California prune tonnage Is
now generally placed at 325,000,000
pounds compared with the record
of 440,000,000 pounds a year ago.
Two years ago practically the same
sized crop was shown there. The
Oregon crop, together with Clark
county, Wash., is now generally
estimated at 60,000, oeo pounds, on
the basis of the bearing area, a full
crop this season would run about
80,000,000 pounds.
Estimates vary much as to the
sales to date but Ideas here gener
ally range from 60 to 75 per cent
of the Oregon-Washington crop.
According to the ideas of trade
leaders the sizes of Oregon-Wash
ington prunes will this season
range around the following:
30 Ten per cent.
40 Forty per cent.
45 50 per cent.
Balance Smaller hized fruit,
To date this season but little busi
ness In prunes has been closed for
domestic account. Both the do
mestic trade as well as the United
Kingdom is very much Inclined to
hold off purchases of prunes with
the idea that values will be low
er at delivery time. On the other
hand extremely liberal purchases
have been made by continental
buyers. In fact most of the busi
ness to date has been for the lat
ter account.
With the California prune crop
much curtailed and the entire coast
output below recent years, togeth
er with short crops of other fruits,
the distributive Interests are hold
ing prices tight. '
Of much Interest this jseason Is
that the northwest prunes this year
contain more sugar than during
the previous season.

HOP PICKING
NEAPING CLOSE
THRU VALLEY
Hop picking will generally wind
up the latter part of this week, and
Is going on now practically only
In the larger yards, and while a per
centage of the general crop has
been allowed to go unpicked be
cause of molds, reports from some
of the larger yards Indicate that
they will run considerably heavier
than last year.
The Roberts yard south of the
city on the river Is expecting to wind
up picking somewhere from Thurs
day to Saturday and indications are
that there will be about 2400 bales
taken off that yard or around a
third more than last year. The Rob
erts hops are also of superlative
quality, some of the finest he ever
took down. Incidentally his partner,
James R. Linn, is also taking about
20 percent more hops from his 45
acre yard near Albany than he did
last year, his hops this year aver
aging around a ton to the acre and
are of exceptionally fine oualltv.
It was considered doubtful If the
Lakebrook yard will finish up this
ween mat yard is expecting to pick
arouna 3uuu oaies tnis year as com
pared to 2828 last year and these
are also quality hops.
me Horst ard is also getting an
enormous crop, probably around 5,-
ooo bales against 3600 last vear.
wnue it is estimated that straight
uirougn irom 10 to is ner cent of
the hops have been cut down and
were unpicked because of mold,
quite a quantity of poor quality hops
were reported picked and one rood
authority placed half of the Oregon
crop this year as poor quality.
The market is a complete dead
one. At this time last year there
were plenty of orders for fuggles, in
fact that is true In any ordinary
year, but as far as known this year
there has been absolutely none.
England is not responding in any
way and it is the Englishman that
generally makes the fuggle market.
