Newspaper Page TextPAGE TEN THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1931 BUTTERFAT AND BUTTER STEADY POULTRY FIRM Portland (IP) Very little change la noted In the general butter mar ket situation. Price are about stea dy in general and especially so for the better scores. Make of butter In Portland shows a fractional decrease for the week while country offerings here are showing an increase that more than makes up for this defi ciency. Butterfat values are steady to firm. Milk prices are not entirely uni form despite the agreement to abide by certain selling values to retailers. Reports in the trade Indicate more or less secret shading. Independent operators report getting plenty of milk from the country. Market for eggs continues to re flect strength with decreasing sup plies and well maintained values. Considerable storage stock is being marketed as fresh goods. Prices continue to show strength all through the live chicken trade with no further changes for the day. Demand is best for lightweight broilers, which are very scarce. Quality light weight country killed calves are moving out well with prices well sustained here. Hogs are a trifle slow and lambs are Just about holding at late values. With growers refusing to do busi ness, there Is no activity confirmed in new crop onion contracts here. Latest offers of 11.10 cental and lacks net to growers are being gen erally refused. Walla Walla very firm. There is no change In the potato trade. Speculative Interest is missing in carlot shipping points. Locally the bulk of the trade Is being sup plied with home grown but some are ottering wo. jramma giowm. There was no change In the gen. eral peach situation here for the day. Yakima Elbertas are moving out well at late prices but some out of the Lewiston. section, less wen colored, are dragging somewhat. J. H. Hales are meeting with favor; isi the Mulrs and eaily Crawfords. Another truck load of Ashland El bertas was reported In. Somewhat firmer trading tone Is reflected, for head lettuce with an acute shortage of offerings and es pecially quality stuff. Prices arc firm to nigner in spois. Medium to small oranges are slightly higher. No other changes In Citrus fruits. Watermelon market Is a trifle slow at late prices. Huckleberries show a fair movement around 14c lb. Fancy Chinook salmon Is 16c lb., others down to 12c. Celery market Is steady locally, outside call fair. Cheese sales are gaining at late prices. DELICIOUS FREAK ON COTTAGE FARM a fivnk fruit to which no hortl cultural expert has yet sccceded in giving a name Is grown in the mid dle of an Italian prune orchard on the state cottage farm. It is ue liclous to the taste and has the bp pearance of a cross between a large grape and a prune, and Is especially delectable because It Is without seed. Dr. R. E. Lee Stelner. superinten dent of the state hospital, said that when tile tree was planted IS years ago It was supposed to be an ltai lan prune tree and was planted along with the rest of the trees ol that variety. But since the tree came Into bearing It has always born the freak fruit. Fruit men whose addition has been called to the fruit are gained. Salem Markets Complied from report! ol Sit lem dealers.

Edward Lumbard, an as sistant United States attorney, Fu timura was mis&ing from his cabin. Ribus had made a sketch aboard of the Japanese importer, a mar rlcd man whose family resides al ! Norwnlk, Conn. Rihns said he call-' ed at the cabin at 7 a. m. the morn-1 ins the boat docked from its "show boat cruise''. Fijimum was gone. He has not been reported seen since. The tory the sketch artist told to the assistant district attorney varied widely from that reported told by the beautiful blonde show girl. She had been quoted as say ing she last saw Fujimura at din ner the ninht before the ship docked. It was a gay circle in which Fu jimura and the show girl moved aboard the VP3S?1, passengers told the Investipntora. There was poker for high stakes, it was said and Fu jimura was a regular attendant at thtse poker games. Mm. Reisner moved In the gay dancing and social set, the passen gers said. She was popular with the men of her own race on the vessel. There was considerable drinking engaged In by Mrs. Reis ner and Fujimura but neither was ever seen intoxicated, passengers said. POKKR STAKES 11IC.II The night before the boat dock ed, according to Ralph Melanl, one of the entertainers. Fujimura en gaged in a "heavy" poker game. Rlbas, telling of his attempt to deliver the portrait the morning after he had heard severe quarrel ing In Fujimiira's apartment, said: "I went to the cabin about 7 a. m. and the Japanese had not been in his room. I returned about two hours later and left the sketch In the stateroom." When I hp boat docked that morning there mas no trace of the un porter. With only two solutions to the mystery murder or suicide inves tigators aotikht for possible mo tives for self -destruction and found none, it was argued that if Fuji mura had contemplated suicide he would not have taken his seven year old dauchtrr on tl trip. On the other hand, the possibility o murder suggested itself strong for several possible motives re venge, racial hatred, or Jealousy, Committee For Navigation Named Portland IP Appointment of a grange committee to work for com mercial navigatlc i of the Columbia and Willamette rivers was anounc ed Wednesday.

It may be slightly more active; There is a moderate movement In wool still, especially In the fine and fine med ium top making types. Prices are steady, with medium and low wools firm. Woolen wools still are slow. "Demand, evidently baa slacken ed appreciably In the goods market. Openings of tropical worsteds and flannels for the next lightweight season have been made at prices which clearly indicate a disposition to get volume buslnes, so far as a low price will tend to secure It, For the moment, however, buyers are withholding their business In these lines.

"Mohair continues slow with semi -occasional sale of kid hair for specialty purposes at unchanged rates."
