Brief Summary of Commodity Trends
as Observed by Specialist!) For
Week Ending July 11.
Wool. Further strengthening with
some definite advances on the Boston
market and considerable activity in
wool prdoucing districts and abroad
feature latest wool market news.
Prices in foreign markets are still
i.bove the parity of the Boston mar
ket. More mohair has been shipped
abroad out of foreign mohair stored
in bond in American ports and some
small lots of Texas mohair. Wool
mill activity is greater than last
year's.
Butter. Good grades were steady
at 41 to 42 cents in San Francisco
but poor grades draggy. Supplies are
liberal, considerable moved into stor
age. Eastern markets first unsettled
but closed steady and firm. Storage
continues heavy and trade estimates
now place the total slightly above a
year ago. Production has passed the
peak apparently but is still running
ahead of last year's somewhat.
Livestock. Cattle and hogs advanced
sharply on light receipts and lambs
were steady on the Portland market.
Receipts were light in San Francisco
with good grades strong. Eastern
markets were strong on all good live
stock with receipts light following
the holiday. Lamb prices advanced
with little activity in feeder and
stocker cattle.
Grain. Light receipts of grains
with considerable uncertainty as to
out-turn of winter wheat caused a
firm tone generally. Corn and spring
wheat made generally favorable pro
gress. Rye and barley harvests are
beginning with favorable prospects
but oats are not so good and the
market tended to strengthen. The
flax crop is making good progress.
London's wheat advanced about 2
cents a bushel reflecting European
demand from delayed harvest. The
new European crop is expected to be
better than last year's but not so
good as two years ago. Domestic de
mand was good especially for high
protein on which premiums advanced.
Large crop prospects on the Pacific
coast weakened the market and very
little business for immediate ship
ment was done, $1.37 to $1.38 a bushel
being bid for August-September de
livery at Portland and $2.20-$2.25 the
hundred for cash No. 1 Sonora at San
Francisco. Coast malting barley con
tinued firm but central western bar
ley went lower permitting exporting
from Chicago.
(Prepared by L. R. Breithaupt of
the O. A. C. Extension Service divi
sion of agricultural economics on in
formation from United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and other sources
deemed most reliable.)
Clerk Anderson and family drove
to The Dalles on Sunday, and from
there Mrs. Anderson nnrl the rhillrpn
went on to Portland for a short visit
with relatives, and then will go on to
Long Beach, Wash., where they will
spend the balance ot tne vacation sea
son. Mr. Anderson took in the Bend

NEW FOLDER ISSUED.
In a recently issued folder publish
ed by the Union Pacific Syetem, the
scenic beauties and industrial op
portunities of the Pacific Northwest
am attractively set forth. The fold
er, entitled "Outings in the Pacific
Northwest," has been distributed
widely throughout the East. It de
scribes Portland and the Columbia
River Highway, Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainier,
Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Jefferson and Mt.
Adams. Some attention is given to
the history of the Oregon and Wash
ington country. The wonderful scenic
drives such as the Mt. Hood Loop and
Colur.bia River Highway are given
ample attention; the Wallowa Lake
Wonderland and the skyline trail to
Crater Lake are also described.
The beach resorts of the North
west, North Beach, Clatsop Beach,
Tillamook and Newport Beaches and
others are not neglected in the new
'older; nor are the cities of Seattle,
Tacoma, Astoria, Olympia, Spokane,
Vancouver, and Victoria. Rainier
National Park is illustrated with some
remarkably fine new photographs.
BANK FILES FORECLOSURE.
The California Joint Stock Land
bunk of San Francisco filed suit in the
Testing Times
ON a levee at a bend in the Mississippi a
thousand men were building with sand-bags
a second-line defense against rising waters which
threatened hundreds of miles of fertile cropland.
Over a telephone, housed in a wooden box nailed
to a tree, an engineer was talking to headquarters
reporting on the progress of the work, asking for
reinforcements and additional material, receiv
ing Weather Bureau forecasts which would be
vitally important to him in planning the strategy
of this grim battle for lives and property.
The telephone had been put in service but a few
minutes before, after a construction crew had
worked from sunrise to sunset, often waist-deep in
swamp water, to string fifteen miles of line to this
isolated outpost.
Such is telephone service in an emergency serv
ice in which telephone men and women do very
much the same things they do every day of their
lives, but do them under conditions that give vivid
emphasis to the import of their efficiency, devo
tion, and fidelity to public interests.
In such crises, when even the most commonplace
of calls may become a matter of life or death, the
public realizes its day-by-day dependence upon
the telephone and upon the men and women who
make of it an instrumentality of human service.
