some time under an active domestic
and foreign demand.
Fish-New salmon prices are not
in yet. Chinooks are starting on
the Columbia and viii be ready for
the market about July /. Good
grades Of salmon, and many other
lines Of fish, are being well cleared
up with the end OF the season.
Canned salmon and other items of
summer consumption are moving
well.
Hides and Wool-Hides took an
other jump of 3 cents this week. In
creased exports to Europe with a
shortage of tonnage to get hides
from South America seems to be
the cause, though some factors sim-
ply say, "the markets crazy" Wool
is unchanged with finer grades gen.
orally strong.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Values continue to ease on slowly
due to a backward season, limited
receipts and good demands due to
high prices of other foodstuffs.
Strawberries-The above is par.
ticularly true In this department. For
the whole United States the acreage
is less than last year and in some
sections Of the east and south prices
have advanced. Local market is
largely supplied by Hood Rivers and
Kennewicks which are unchanged al
IS and $3.50 respectively. With the
warm weather prevailing, a moderate
decline may be expected.
Cherries-Tartarians are OF {
cents to 20 cents. Royal AIMS are
now in selling at rs cents. Demand
| is good and shipments limited.
Other Fruits-Apples are very
scarce; practically no fancy. Pine
apples are temporarily out. Othel
fruits are in seasonable supply ant
demand without material change IL
prices.
Potatoes-Old stocks are easiel
and lower, locally being off to SIP!
| 01.4O; quality is still good enough
for fair movement. New potatoes
| from California are unchanged at /,
cents.
Onions-Markets generally ar
fairly steady. Locally green onion
are unchanged at 80 cents; dr.,
/ onions, Oregon, are slowing up an,
down 81 toS$6; new red leaf onion
unchanged at Y cents.
Other Vegetables-There have BEEF
declines in new California turnips

green peas, California cabbage an
Imperial Valley tomatoes. Oregol
caulifower and California celery ar
off the market. Other vegetable
seasOnable and unchanged.

els as compared with 29,117,0O0 busl

poration. A decrease of $685.
bushels from the previous week wa
shown. Receipts from farms for tn
week were 2,505,00O bushels, q
against 100000 bushels year ag'
Thus a good end of the season d.
; mand is reducing available stock
rapidly and it appears more an
. more evident the carry-over will b
a negligible quantity. Crop pro
poets, both locally and generall
continue excellent for a bumper GU
turn in this country. The perm
system for shipments from the il
terror will again be in effect on I'll
new crop with probably all brancht
of the trade under control with tt
, government. Local quotations al
$2.O9 ,$2.O7, $2.O5 and $2.O2 pl,

:, from 20 to 80 cents.
