POTATOES OF QUALITY

The interest of the little people in
seeing things grow in the Rogue val
lev was shown when little Miss Car
melita Poole brought to this office a
branch of a mammoth red raspberry
plant loaded down with great lus-
cious berries, and explained that 1t
was from her own individual bush
It must certainly be a wonderful
bush. and one of which Carmelita Is
justified in being proud.
On the same day a young scion ol

long account on the general theory
of a natural reaction being due. Out
side markets failed with our own, to
show any sustained rally. 1t is hardly
to be supposed that with the move
ment of new wheat in it's infancy and
with yields so much greater than has
heretofore been thought possible, that
buyers should evince any anxiety or
desire to hold up. The weakness IN
our July wheat today is more than a
fair evidence of the influence of the
movement of new crop toward this
market. Theory of the reaction being
natural in the face of the decline, such
as has taken place during the past
five days, has dine more than anything
else to help sustain values today. The
situation, however, remains as in
herently heavy as before the decline,
above referred to occurred. We can
only, therefore, feel that barring tenn
porary rallies due to an over-sold con-
dition, prices r still tending toward
a lower level of values,
CONFIRMING a temporary rally
shortly after the opening, the trend
of prices was Enthusiastically lower
drought the session for all deliveries,
the July corn showing the greatest
weakness. Ample rains over Iowa
and Nebraska and somewhat higher
temperatures, followed by a generally
weaker position in the cash property
in all markets, caused scattered Ii
quotation and curtailed new buying.
The market developed a weaker
undertone than has been apparent for
some time past. The continued weak
ness in wheat has unquestionabiy had
an influence In that it has weakeed
holders aid caused a decrease In buy
ing power as well as general scatter
| ed liquidation. We are not inclined to
follow sharp declines on the selling
side of the deferred deliveries, as the
crop has many contingencies yet to
undergo.
Ooats-The general heavy tendency
which has been prevalent for some
long a period, still continued during
the session. Prospects are too good
to increase any speculative support
and we continue To look for lower
prices chas. p. Lewis 81 CO.

showing. Esther w, the mare that
travelled over the half mile tracks in
Pennsylvania and Ohio last year and
was sold for $500 lost only one heat.
Bergen driven by Geers made a re-
markable dash on the home stretch,
winning the first heat with Marigold,

IMPROVEMENTS IN
POTATO MARKET

The current issue of The Packer
bristled with news about potatoes and
field conditions and here are some of
them:
At Louisville the movement was
active from that district as cars were
moving in all directions from the
loading stations. During last week the
prices ranged about 70 cents, ship
ments being made in sacks of even
$50 pounds.
The carlot movements at points
about St Mathews, KY, is now verT
active and the growers are being paid
$1.75 q barrel.
Chicago operators were surprised at
signs of advancing prices, said to be
caused by a lull in shipments. The
Kaw valley stock has just begun to
nov Last Friday southwestern
Triumphs sold at so to 70 cents a
bushel. The commercial crop of early
potatoes in the northwest is expected
to begin moving in a few days, Min
nesota reporting the likelihood of
shipments starting between July 20
and 25,
There appears to be plenty Of new
potatoes in the New England a
kets and prices are showing a lower
tendency in the Boston markets. The
prices per barrel have been ranging
about $3.50 to $2.75.
At Cincinnati, a week ago, the po-
tato market ruled easier. Receipts
were ample and prices showed a
slight decline. Kentucky and Virginia
white were quoted in a jobbing way
at $2.75 per barrel and homegrown
Ohios around SO. There is some old
stock. selling at 80 cents per bushel.
At Grundy Center, Ia, the potato
crop this season is looking pretty fair,
but the fields are in need of rain.
Weather has been dry for a long time
and the drought is affecting the yield.
1t is estimated that the crop will aver
age 20 per cent less than last year,
but there is a good stand and rain
will likely improve conditions.
The Norfolk, va, potato season is
nearing it's close. Shipments will con-
tinue until about the end of July, at
the rate of $4,000 to 10000 barrels
daily. The yield is improving; the
quality the best for years. The price
in markets Tuesday was from $2.25
to $2.65 per barrel. All the smaller
growers are through while the larger
growers in many instances have been
delayed on account of a shortage of
barrels.
