When the hop picking season is on, eggs go up and such is the condition of the mar ket today. The Portland market is 3S cents case count and 42 cents a dozen fnncv candled and dealers say the ad vance is due to the fact that farmers are just too busy at this time with all the hop picking on to the carry their eggs to market. Hence the scarcity and hence the advance in quotations.

Gale St Co Commercial and Court Sts., formerly Chicago Store i While the new crop of potatoes is now j worth about two cents a pound, commis sion men say the chances are good for a decided drop in prices as soon as gen i eral digging begins and the big potato ! states can average up their crops. The 1 Idaho crop is a bumper one and Colo rado and Minnesota both heavy grow j ers of potatoes report excellent condi tions. All of which may possibly mean i that the price here as an opener may 'be something like 50 or CO cents. At ; least this is the opinion of a potato buy er who have been doing some pretty close guessing for several years past. o ! L. H. Suter received a letter from the renter on his farm in smith Texas who savs he has gathered 15 bales of cotton and wih have from 5 to 10 bales more. A bale is composed of 1000 pounds I of seed and 500 pounds of lint. The I price of seed 3 weeks ago was 3 cents Ihud lint 27 i-S cents per pound. There ! was 45 acres in cultivation. This would : figure $55.50 per acre on what is al ! ready picked and should there be but 1 5 more bales it would make it $74 per acre if prices remain the same. L. H. 'thinks it pretty good on land that he has been offering for $60 per acre. ! o Registration day for the women of the state is Saturday, September 15, anil the proclamation for the registration of all women over the age of 15 years was made by the governor at the request of the State Council of Defense, Woman's section.The local representative f the State Council of Defense is the Com mercial clnb and under its auspices, a meeting was held this afternoon of which Mrs. V .

V. 6. Patton, field representative of the Pa cific Coast Defense league, is in the city and will tell of what is being done to back up the senators and representa tives of the Pacific const in their ef forts to have the war department take actions toward securing .au immediate survey. o On account of the fact that so many automobiles use glaring headlights with the consequent risk of blinding others and causing accidents, Chief of Police Cooper is looking closely into the pro visions of the state motor vehicle law with the purpose of bringing violators to time.
