Portland speculators are selling
wheat at lower prices than farmers are
willing to take, in an effort to break
the market, and considerable amounts
changed hands Tuesday, Eastern pric-
es we're higher yesterday and the mark
ct firm.
The potato market shows weakness,
and prices are steadily going down.
Idaho rushed such quantities into the
California markets that they were glut-
ted and prices went down to rs cents
hundred. Idaho also filled the mark
cts of the southwest and all Texas sup
plies were furnished by that section,
which has only recently came into the
lime light as competitor in the po-
tato markets of the coast.
Hops are steady with prices around
Is cents. Only one sale was reported
Tuesday, that of 1O1 bales of the Thiel-
sen crop at Hubbard. Eggs are at the
same price and are firm at "a to 20
cents. Onions are way up, growers
refusing to listen to anything below
SO sack, and quotations are as high
as 1925. 1t is claimed there are oMly
40 cars left in the state.
