EASIER TONE
OBSERVED IN
BUTTER TRADE
Portland, Sept. 21 (tP With an
Increased supply of butter on the
market here as a result of Increased
price, the situation present a slight,
ly easier trading tone although
prices In general are practically un
changed lor both print and cubes
While the late centrahzer churning
was a fraction below the total dis
played last meek, the outside sup
plies available here were more than
sufficiently Increased to make up
for this shortage. This together with
rather liberal withdrawals from
storage, gave the trade a very con
siderable increase in supply.
All last week there was a con
stant movement out of Pacific coast
coolers, practically all points show
lug profit taking by speculative in
terests. The same situation prevailed
In the country generally, total stocks
of coolers everywhere showing a de
crease. Butterfat values are un
changed.
Market for eggs continues to re
fleet strength and the surprising
feature is that demand gains as the
price ascends. Slight increase In re
ceipts Is suggested with the gain
principally In pullets.
With local prices seriously below
California values and with the latter
still buying in this territory, chicken
prices here are practically unchang
ed for all classes of live stuff.
All through the peach trade a bet
ter demand is showing considering
the season. The clings are now com
ing In for attention including the
Phillip and the Orange. Both are
I irmly priced.
There is a weak tone In the mar
ket for country killed lambs but no
further cut is Indicated in prices.
Hogs are continued on a steady
basis with calves firm, especially for
the better sorts, which are scarce.
Indicating that the general pub
lic is not at all inclined to view cur
rent values on cranberries with sat
isfaction. Is the fact that sales are
practically almost too nominal to
note. Values on the coast are above
an eastern basis and shipping or
ders are absent as a result.
Market for dry beans Is a trifle
dull with a tinge of weakness under
lying the California and Idaho
whites but reds are quoted firm. A
late review of the bean trade sug
gests recent strength In California
but weak elsewhere, which unsettled
the entire trade.
Limited carload business Is con
firmed In the cauliflower market,
with the latest business appearing
from the Atlantic coast. Owing to
the extreme dry weather real No 1
is dilficult to secure. Plenty of good
No. 2s.
Advanced orders on cocoanuts be
ing taken at $4 sack, which is the
iowest opening price known here.
All citrus fruit prices are un
changed. Dillard cantaloupes are
being sold 1-$1.10 for best with
fancy Eugene stock mostly $1 crate.
Pomegranates are being offered $1
box. Vakiina potatoes more active
but locals are scarce. Cub bat' e mar
ket continues to weaken.
Pickling cucumbers again higher
with continued scarcity.
BRITISH TO INCREASE
CANNED GOODS DUTY
Increased duties are announced
as having been imposed Jn the Unit
ed Kingdom on canned cherries,
candied fruit peel and a list of
ether Hems, says the California
Fruit News. Thrsc new general tar
iff rates, applying to Imports from
all non-British sources, include a
duty of 25 per cent ad valorem, in
addition to the existing specific
rates depending upon sugar con
tent, on canned cherries and on
pitted cherries canned or bottled in
syrup.

PRUNE HARVEST IN
CALIFORNIA EARLY
California prune harvest has been
relatively early. Ai harvest has ad
vanced, growers rcpart slightly low
er production than expected, plac
ing the present forecast at 209.000
tons, says the California Fruit
News. The entire morale of the
prune industry seems to have been
strengthened by the successful sign
up and organization of the Califor
nia Prune Pool. Crops of other re
cent years have been: 208.000 tons
in 1931, 274.000 tons In 1931, 274,-
000 tons in 1930. 103,000 tons In 1929
and 221.000 tons in 1928. It is esti
mated that of. the 1930 crop only
261,000 tons were actually harvested.
The forecast of probable produc
tion of dried prunes In Oregon is
20.000 tons. In addition to these
amounts the forecasts of prunes for
fresh consumption are: Oregon, 34,-
000 tons; Washington, 27,000: and
Idaho, 25.000 tons. !

as a eeneral thing.
The field practice committee Is
nl Its second year this year. It Is
understood it was largely an out
growth of the move ftarted by the
government a few . years ago to
clean up the prune industry The
dried fruit association immediately
took up the proposition and it was
tacitly understood between rcpre
sentatives of the government and
the prune packers and growers
that ample opportunity would be
given to the industry to take care
of Its own problems. However, gov
ernment inspectors indicated that
if this was not done then they
would step in and take a hand.
A committee was named headed
by William O. Fisher, well known
prune buyer, to work out a plan
to meet the situation and the
filed practice committee Li under
stood to have been an offshoot of
this plan. Under the field practice
committee a standard is arrived at
as to how the prunes should be
handled under good, careful care
for the conditions existing as ol
that year. The plan seems to have
worked admirably and but little
criticism has been found by the
government with the packs offered
for shipment.
Prune drying Is expected to con
tinue for another 10 days while
prune canning will probably be bet
ter well wound up by the end of
this week.
Crop estimates do not vary much
as a general thing although straight
through it appears that the crops
which were predicted as light ran
possibly little lighter than esti
mates while the heavy crops ran
a little heavier than estimate. Prune
men state that growers' estimates
as a general thing are influenced to
some extent by the crops of the
previous year on their ovn hold
ings and may vary accordingly.

now appears that the walnut crop
in the important Mediterranean
and Danubian countries is estimat
ed at 61,000 short tons this year, as
compared with 102,000 short tons
last year. A little earlier the esti
mate was for about 10,000 tons more

also state the walnut quality Is not

is reported up to average In Italy

the sizes below those of last year,
particularly Crcnobles. The market
prospects are said not to be en
couraging, however, even with the
fmall crop, because of the poor buy
ing opportunities'.
The crop of filberts in the Med

very large and is being offered at
low prices. Tills crop shows now
apparently even a larger prospect

The crwods were thin until the

"To remedy this," asserted Roose

STEAKS AT PORTLAND
The democratic nominee tonight
v ill speak at Portland, delivering the
third of the major speeches of his
8900 mile Journey through 21 states.
Mr. Roosevelt will discuss public
utilities, a subject to which he as
governor of New York has given
much attention.
Last night at Seattle, Roosevelt
made a brief speech to an auditor
ium crowd that filled every seat, the
aisles, window ledges and overflowed
into a baseball park adjoining the
building. There were 12.000 in the
auditorium and an estimated 14.000
in the park.
Referring to the Hawlcy-Smoot
or "Grundy Tariff,'1 Mr. Roosevelt
.sa.d, "President Hoover should have
known that this tariff would raise
havoc with any plans that he might
have had to stimulate foreign mar
kets." Mr. Roosevelt's auditorium speech
climaxed a tumultous and busy
day. Police estimated that more
than 100.000 persons jammed the
streets when the democratic nomi
nee drove from his train to a hotel.
Along the 25 miles route to the
western Washington fair at Puy
allup, crowds had gathered in every
village and 25,000 heard him briefly
talk at the fair grounds. Return
ing he visited Tacoma, where the
crowd all but engulfed his motor
car and the others in which mem
bers of his party rode.
SPEAKS OF INFIRMITY
A dozen village and country
schools had turned out, the child
ren lining the roadway. At many
of them Mr. Roosevelt stopped his
car and said a few words to the
younasters, many of whom were
Japanese children who gased
silently at him and his partv. prom
