STANDARD BARRELS

The regulations providing standard
barrels for fruits, vegetables and other
farm products in Pennsylvania go into
effect December 16.
This means that the United States
Standard Barrels and legal subdivis-
ions thereof, for fruits, vegetables and
other farm products are the standards
for Pennsylvania. All these barrels
must be marked to show the capacity
in terms of the standard barrel and the
anne and address of the packer.
These marks must be plainly and con-
spicuously branded or stenciled in
blac kink on the outside of one end
of the barrel, or in some equally con-
spicuous place, in block letters and
figures the size of thirty-six point
Gothic type or larger.
There is no accepted abbreviation
for the word standard, so the marking
now required on barrels is as follows:
1 STANDARD BBL.

REGULAR RATES WILL
NOT DETER SPECIAL
TRAINS TO ROUNDUP
Efforts to Get Reduced Round
Trip Fares Are Without Avail
but Hundreds in Astoria and
Portland Cars Will be Here.

Regular railroad rates will apply on
all tickets purchased to Pendleton for
the 1920 Roundup the association
was informed today in letter from
William McMurray, general passenger
agent for the o. w. r. & \. Co. Ef-
forts to obtain reduced round trip
rate as in the past, were made with
out vail. both by the Roundup Of
flcials and by Mr.. McMurray. who was
obliged to consult with the passenger
executives bureau, which now handles
this matter for all the railroads of the
nation.
The decision is taken by the local
officials as final nasmuch as the
railroad men went to the highest tri-
bunal and were turned down, It is
understood that reduced round trip
fares for conventions, fairs and other
big meetings are no longer to be grant
ed. the railroads being determined to
put their business on a one-fare basis.
Specials VIII Run.
While some disappointment is evil
dent at the inability of the railroads
to make the same concession as in
former years. the Round Up board
does not believe that the change will
materially affect the .attendance. Spe-
cial trains which are now being plan
ned will be run regardless of the rate
and it is understood that the. persons
who have expressed intention of com
ing are not to be denied.
Another letter from c. I. Barr sec
retary of the - Astoria Chamber of
Commerce, came today. It said that
the Astorians are planning their spe-
cial train and working for company
of $50. They have not yet given up
the idea of coming by way of Seattle
and the Yakima valley. They plan to
larrive here on the morning of Thurs
day. September %, spend the three

! the weak market. There seemed to be
! a complete reversal in the general run
of news. The various news bureaus
were calling attention to the tendency
to lower prices in retail lines, while
numerous industrial corporations are
curtailing production and dispensing
with the services of surplus labor, due
to the poor demand for their products.
Economic experts are beginning to
view the situation as being indicative
of a protracted period of deflation. AS
to the corn outlook itself, beneficial
rains were received over a good part
cf the belt, where needed, and more
predicted for tonight and tomorrow.
Advices from down state suggested an
increased movement within the next
ten days, which no doubt will be ac-
celebrated by improved crop prospects.
The tendency of the market is towards
a lower level of prices.
Oats-Liquidation was less pro-
nounced. but the market followed the
decline in corn. There was no partic-
ular news of Importance. the local
cash market holding about steady
with premiums a shade higher. There
has been no export business consum-
mated for more than two months and
no indications that there will be any
in the mediate futures. We consider
the pressure of cash grain too great
for the market to Withstand under
present conditions.
Rye-Futures attracted very little
attention and prices held within
narrow range, Exporters were under
stood to be in the market and a small
lot was worked from here on a basis
of IS cents over September track.

NEW YORK. Aug. 19.-The stock |

is claimed that farmers in many sec

prices but nevertheless there is a suf-

opinion that a much broader foreign

necessary to sustain prices.
