and foreign demand.
Fish-New salmon prices are not
in yet. Chinooks are starting on
the Columbia and will be ready for
the market about July l. Good |
grades OF salmon, and many other
lines of fish, are being wen cleared |
up with the end of the season.
Canned salmon and other items of
summer consumption are moving |
we'll.
Hides and Wool-Hides took an
other jump of 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 off 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 at
SIS and $3.50 respectively. With the
warm weather prevailing, a moderate
decline may be expected.
Cherries-Tartarian are off 5
cents to 20 cents. Royal AIMS are
now in selling at 25 cents. Demand
is good and shipments limited.
Other Fruits-Apples are very
scarce; practically no fancy. Pine
apples are temporarily out. Other
fruits are in seasonable supply and
demand without material change in
prices.
Potatoes-Old stocks are easier
and lower, locally being off to $1.25
@1.4O quality is still good enough
for a fair movement. New potatoes
from California are unchanged at 10
cents.
Onions-Markets generally are
fairly steady. Locally green onions
are unchanged at 30 cents; dry
onions, Oregon, are slowing up and
down 81 to Sc; new red leaf onions
unchanged at Z cents.
Other egetables-There have been
declines in new California turnips,
rhubarb (local now, head lettuce,
green peas, California cabbage and
Imperial Valley tomatoes, Oregon
cauliflower and California celery are
off the market. Other vegetables
seasonable and unchanged.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-Total stocks stored in
country elevators, mills and terminal
elevators in the United States on
May %, amounted to 74,4S9, 900 bush
els as compared with 20, il7,OOO bush
els on that date a year ago, accord
ing to a statement issued June A by
the food administration grain cor
p0ration. A decrease of S,79S,00C
bushels from the previous week was
shown. Receipts from farms for the
week were 2,505,OOO bushels, as
against 2,23O,O0O bushels a year ago
, Thus a good end of the season de
mand is reducing available stocks
rapidly and it appears more anC
more evident the carry-over will b'
negligible quantity. Crop pros
poets, both locally and generally
continue excellent. for bumper out
turn in this country. The permi
system for shipments from the in
terror will again be in effect on tn
i new crop with probably all branche

C from 20 to 80 cents.
