Market for live hens is generally ' about steady here and in spots a fractional betterment Is noted. For small hens bids are now around 18 to 19c lb. with heavy stuff up to 24c lb. Farmers who kill their own lambs and other meats, have the advan tage of an Interstate market that country butchers cannot avail themselves of, reports Jack Sav Iner of the American produce. Therefore farmers are advised to kill their own in order to obtain the advantage of more markets outside the state. Very low prices are reported on poor quality lambs, sales being around 8 to 12c lb. Top quality lambs are In fair demand with trading around 18-19c lb. for coun try killed. There Is a rather good demand for both veal and hogs.

Top qual ity calves are Inclined to show a slight price improvement. -Word comes from the Pacific Fruit company that the first cher ries of the season are being picked at the Dalles and will start for Portland at once. Somewhat better supplies of Ore gon peas are reaching the trade here. On account of the smaller shipments from California the lo cal stock Is finding more favor with sales up to a dime. There continues a very favorable demand for head lettuce. Shipping call la still good but this may be slightly curtailed by reason of the Increasing supplies In the Puget Sound territory. With supplies at the lowest mark for many years, the demand for apples continues quite favorable here. Sales of cooker grade con tinue almost as high as the best packs of normal seasons. There remains a very slow de mand for hothouse cucumbers. Poor quality California green beans are being sacrificed. Weather Is curtailing the demand for Imperial cantaloupes.

CONTINUED RAINS NOT GOOD FOR FRUIT Jefferson Strawberry growers in this locality are much concerned over the continued rains as it 1 nearlng the picking season. If the rains continue many of the berries will rot before ripening. Berries are beta? brought to the local stores In small quantities but not enough are ripening to begin picking for commercial use. HEARINGS ON NAVAL TREATY WHEAT PRICES HIGHER AFTER EARLIER SLUMP Chicago (IP) Wheat strength faded out after mid-season and prices 6old off sharply, recovering; strongly during tne late trading; on the board of trade to close frac tionally higher, early commission house selling on the hard spots, led to heavy, stop-loss selling later the market fell but the early sellers turned buyers to bring about the recovery. Corn reacted with wheat and failed to recover but .ts held firm until the last on good buying in May. At the close wheat was to cent higher, corn was cent low er to Ik cent higher and oats was i cents higher with May l's cents up. Provisions were sharply lower. Chicago (JP) Wheat prices here turned upward early Wednesday. helped by advances at Liverpool and by reported probable domestic crop deterioration southwest u weatner becomes unusually hot. Stocks of wheat In Oreat Britain are report ed as diminishing. Opening higher, Chicago wheat afterward held near to the initial range. Corn, oats and provisions were also easy, with corn starting; unchanged to off, and subsequently showing little alteration. BELIEVE COPPER PRICES BOTTOM LEVEL REACHED New York (IP) Constant reduc- tions in the price of copper metal have 11 nan y arrived at, a Douom, according to Wall Street opinion and the industry, which has suf lered badly from a genuine buyers' strike can now resume at a faster pace. Copper stocks on the stock ex change have been depressed sharp- have nad only moderate recovery, It is believed they have discounted m0st of the bad news that can come from th industry. Now that the price of the metal appears stab ilized, the next step will be to re duce dividends to a point in line with lower prices. A difference of a few cento a pound in copper means a "Teat deal to the large producers in profits. Fw example. Anaconda which last year produced nearly a billion Twinnds would lose S10.000.000 in . . earnings lor every cut 01 a cent pound in the selling price ct the metal. Prices are now down more than 5 cents a pound from 1929, meaning a decrease of $50,000,000 In earnings. Obviously this low ering by about $0.00 per share will bring a lower dividend. The resumption of buying of cop per metal will benefit more than the copper companiM. It will gen erate more active work in electrical equipment and other lines whare work has bean held up pending ad Justment of the copper price situ at ion. Incidentally, the copper produc ers have their field under absolute control. They can maintain for a long time a fixed pries by artificial means. This may be beneficial. but it has played havoc this year in a time when business needed every stimulant. As a result of this control, it Is thought that the producers will be in a position to "jock up" the price when demand gathers momentum. A level arcund 13 or 16 cents pound would not worii hardship to oilier lines ana would be a fair return for the copper Industry, LEE RIVER STEAMER - LINE NOW EXTINCT Memphis, Tenn., (LP The Lee Line of river steamer.1', famous on the Mississippi fcr three generat ions, has passed on.

H. Van Trump Marion county, W. G. Allen, the prune mover in me present fight to secure an adequate cherry fly control method, declares that the cherry fly fight will not be used as a tail to the kite of the move to unseat Van Trump. Allen is credited with having started the present cherry fly control move ment, having taken an active part in securing the Interest of the State college and also in securing funds from the emergency board and as a result it is admitted he has some thing to say in the matter. "I am not engaging in the Van Trump matter one way or another," declared Allen. "I don't know any thing about the merits of the con troversy. And It will have to be threshed out on Its own merits. But I do know that I do not want to see the cherry fly control program wrecked on this controversy. "The state board of horticulture which is evidently actively interest ed In the Van Trump matter had no connection with the launching of the cherry fly control campaign. In fact it is not a matter of extension work but of research work. "The failure of an adequate cher ry fly control cannot be charged up against Mr. Van Trump either, as I understand it has been. That is the meat in the cscoanut. No adequate control method has ever been devel oped and ao such it is a matter of research and not a matter coming under the province of Mr. Van Trump. The trouble is that the con trol methods which have been de veloped do not control and the ob ject of the present campaign is to find, if possible, methods which will control. "We have beer, given the active coop;ration of the college and the men in charge have respondcoM quickly and the whole program Is going ahead harmoniously. Wo do not want any extraneous fights in jected into this matter to disrupt the program which is now well on the way to being put over. "Any fight that develops on Van Trump must be carried on inde pendently." DAIRY CO-OP TO BUILD HEW PLANT Astoria, Ore. itp The Lower Co lumbia Co-operative Dairy associa tion late Monday awarded to Bur gess and Lerwick, local contractors, th? contract for construction of a new milk plant at Grays Rive Wash., one of two to be built by the association under the terms of a farm loen obtained recently from the federal farm board.

AUSTRIANS TAKE UP STUDY OF ENGLISH Vienna OP) Two events in Vienna which occured almost simultaneous ly have given a great stimulus to the study of the English language by the Austrians. In one of tne city a largest theaters a troupe of British arUiis known as "The English Play ers" performed for more than ft wee'e to packed houses ind popular ised the works of several modem British dramatists whose works are so far little known on the contin ent.

He foretold many things, most .of which did not occur. And there stand the wall and the gate which were set up a tnouund years ago; huge massive stones. Beyond are the hills of Judea. For nine months each year the sky Is cloudless, a Mediterranean sky, but bluer than Naples, more serentf than any sky in tha West.
