Sugar Recovers From Drop. Sugar advanced 15 cents again yes terday, making a total increase of 65 cents within the past 30 days. This nearly wipes out the sensational drop ot 75 cents made about two months ago, and all signs point to a continued advance to higher prices than early this summer, when all records were broken. Granulated cane sugar is now $7.76 a sack. Potatoes are advancing In price. The middle western crop this year Is said to be from 40 to 60 per cent short and already the Yakima crop is being drawn upon for' eastern shipments. Tbe local crop is not all dug yet, but is said to be normal. The price now ranges around $21 a ton for locals and $25 for Taklmas. Frosty nights have caused some of the fresh local field products to be come Bcarce. Tomatoes are being picked green by growers who want to save what they can before a killing froBt destroys the remainder of the crop. Blackberries in the valley were said to be badly damaged by Monday night's frost, but the local demand is light and prices failed to advance. - Tokay grapes are still jobbing at $1.35 a crate but an advance Is ex pected soon, Elberta and Crawford peaches are still running strong at 60 cents a box.

Portland Fifteen acres of land sit uated north of the plant of the Shell Oil company at Wlllbridge have been purchased as the site for the new Portland plant of the Pacific Coast Steel company and an allied industry, according to A. C. Callan, whose orig inal announcement at a recent pros perity dinner that these two industries were coming to Portland was made In The Oregonian. Approximately 10 acres of the pur chased tract will be utilized for the plant of the steel company, construc tion of which will probably be com menced within the next year. Until the final details of the entire plant are worked out the identity of the auxiliary industry will not be announc ed, Mr. Callan said. The property purchased does not front on the Wil lamette river, but is not far removed from the waterfront and has adequate railroad facilities. Flour Retailing Lower Than Wholesale Minneapolis. The continued rise In the price ot flour has brought about an unprecedented condition in the lo cal market While several retailers were selling top grade Minneapolis flour at $8.60 to $8.70 a barrel. In single barrel lots, the millers were asking $8.85 and $9 tor the same grade in carload lots. "Millers have no control over retail prices," said one miller. "It is possi ble tor a retailer holding flour pur chased at low prices to retail it now at a figure lower than the mills could produce It at present". Producers Get the Money. According to reports ' Issued this week, by the United States depart ment of agriculture on crop and live stock prices, the producer was paid an average increase ot 9.S per cent dur ing the month of August for his prod ucts. The government report Is that the index figure of prices on Septem ber 1 was 21.9 per cent higher thau two years ago, and 18.6 per cent high er than the average of the last eight years on this date. This report shows that the producer was paid 19.4 tier cent more for his meat animals than a year ago. Eleotrlo Heating of Houses. Stockholm, way up on the Baltic sea side of Sweden, la a cold proposition for many months in tbe year. Not only Its far-north latitude, but its In sular situation conduces to cold cli matic conditions. For Stockholm Is built mostly on Islands, and Is called the Venice of the Baltic. But the people in the city keep very warm during the long winters, and they do so through electrical heating arrangements. Fuel for individual famines was an Immense Item In Sweden, as it is in all cold countries, but in the past few years the electri cians of the country have bent their energies to 'the development of the natural water powers, to the end that electricity has become the chief fuel. Hot water tanks in hotels, churches and all public and private buildings are heated by electricity from a near by power plant, and the hot water Is sent through the houses pretty much as it goes through similarly heated houses in our cities. The electricity that heats the water is turned on at night when the family retires, and by morning the tank is so hot that the water, pumped automatically through the house pipes, gives the inhabitants all the comforts of steam heat, and it lasts thOsugh the whole day. The chief difference is that we build our coal fires in our furnaces, and have smoke and ashes to contend with, while the Swedes press a button that connects the house tank wire with the power plant, and the work Is done, with no aftermath of cleaning up.
