the market about July 1. Goo,

Canned salmon and other items O
summer consumption are movin,
well.
Hides and Wool-Hides took an

the cause, though some factors sim
ply say, "the markets crazy" Woo

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 acrea &c
is less than last year and in some
sections of the east and south prices
nave advanced. Local market is
largely supplied by Hood Rivers and
kenneWicks which are unchanged at
50 and $3.50 respectively. With the
warm weather prevailing, a moderate
decline may be expected.
Observation-Disclosures are off i
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
Q1.40; quality is still good enough
for fair movement New potatoes
from California are unchanged at 10
cents.
Onions-Markets generally are
fairly steady. Locally green onions
are unchanged at 80 cents: dry
onions, Oregon, are slowing up and
down 81 to So; new red leaf onions
unchanged at 7 cents.
Other Vegetables-There have been
declines in new California turnips,
rhubarb Qocal now, head lettuce,
green peas, California cabbage and
Imperial Valley tomatoes. Oregon
cauEflower 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 23, amounted to 74,4s9,00 BUSH
els as compared with 29,117, 900 bush
els on that date a year ago, accord
ing to statement issued June by
the food administration grain cor
poration. A decrease of S,79S, 900
bushels from the previous week was
shown. Receipts from farms for the
week were 2,505,00O bushels, as
against 2.230,000 bushels a year ago.
Thus good end of the season de.
mand is reducing available stocks
rapidly and it appears more and
more evident the carry-over will be
negligible quantity Crop pros
poets, both locally and generally,
continue excellent for a bumper out
turn in this country. The permit
system for shipments from the in.
terror will again be in effect on the
new crop with probably all branches
of the trade under control with the
government Local quotations are
$2,09 ,$2.07, S2.05 and S2.02 plus
added charges and premiums, running
from 90 TO 80 cents
Flour-According to the June 4
statement of the grain corporation,
production of flour from July /, 1918,
to May 23, 1919, amounted to 112,-
$4,000 barrels, as compared with
los, 100000 for a similar period a
year ago. In the week ended, May
%, 2,37S,000 barrels were produced
as against 100000 barrels for the
same week in 1918 This shows the
active end-of-the-season cleanup
However, little new business is ap-
pearing now. Local prices are un.
changed at SLIGO and $11.4o for
tirsts and seconds and s11.so for
hard wheat varieties.
Feed-This market has held very
steady for the last two or three
weeks. there being no changes, and
the movement normal for the season.
