xlE MORXING OREGOXTATT, SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1913. 15 FEED MARKET FIRM Dry Weather Likely to Cause Higher Prices. SUPPLIES ARE NOT LARGE Cereals Are Dull With Lower Prices Orreied for Wheat on Contract. Sales of Barley and Oats Futures. There is a strong probability of mill feed price advancing In the near future. If the pi-esent hot weather lasts, and the remainder of this month and August Is dry and warm, a higher market Is almost certain to occur. California always come In strong in August and September for feed, and If Joined by a demand here, with almost no August milling in sight (probably a complete shut-down of mills), there Is reason to believe a decided scarcity In feed will be the result. Owing to plentiful rains in the North west, there has been more grass to date than for many years past and, therefore, a tem porary falling off in the demand for mill feed has kept the market quiet. The grass, helng full of moisture, however. Is likely to dry up quickly this kind of weather. It Is this condition that has ' already added strength to the market locally. In spite of the recent slow conditions In the market, there have been but few offer ings, and what has been ground has been quickly taken up lu the vicinity of the mills. Some dealers are looking for ad vances of $2 to S4 a ton before the season Is ftvsr. There was but little doing In the grain markets yesterday. The only demand in the wheat line now is for feed, and all varieties are going for this purpose at prices around or 80 cents. Buyers offered for new crop on the basis of 80 cents for club, 84 cents for bluestem and 79 cents for red. New-crop feed barley has been sold on the basis of $23 for October-November de livery. Oats have been sold for the Eame delivery as low as $21 a ton. Weekly foreign wheat shipments were as follows: ThlsWk. I,at Wk. Tjist Yr.

The hot weather brought watermelons to the front as the main attraction on Front street. Nne of the dealers was heavily supplied, and, as a consequence, the market became exceedingly firm. Two cents was the prevailing quotation. Not many cars of melons are rolling, and a continued firm market can be expected. Cantaloupes were also very firm and the street was well cleaned up. The demand for fruits of all kinds was brisk. The only article that was slow of sale was small Oregon poaches, of which a considerable quantity came in. These would not bring over 40 or 50 cents. Good yellow peaches sold at SI. 15 to 11.25 a crate. Local peach plums offered. at 73 cents to XI a box. Berries were fairly firm on the morning public market. Loganberries sold there at S1.15 to $1.25: raspberries at SI to S1.S0, black caps at $1.50 and blackberries at 11.75 to $2.00. Cherries had the usual wide range, according to quality. Red currants dragged at $1.25 a crate. Vegetables of all kinds were in good de mand and sold generally at former prices. 1ABCE DEAL IN FEEDER LAMBS Sixteen Thousand Head Sold by Wallowa ' Sheepmen at 4Vi Cents. ENTERPRISE. Or., July 18. (Special.) More than 16,000 lambs have been sold by Wallowa County sheepmen within the last few days to Samuel Palmer, of Denver. He bought coarse wool lambs only, paying 4U cents a pound. They will be delivered from September 1 to the middle of October and will be shipped from Enterprise, Wallowa and Elgin, according to convenience to graz ing lands. Mr. Palmer will feed part of the lambs and will sell part to other feeders In Colo rado, at Greely, Fort Collins 'and other points. When fattened, they will be shipped to the Chicago market.

Dobbin and Fred W. Falconer, 12.000 lambs; L C. John Bon, 140U; J. Ray -Johnson, 2100, and Ray E. Vest. 127".. The buyer Is looking for more lambs and expects to add to his pur chases materially before he leaves. CHICKEN PRICES ON FIRM BASIS Bent Veal Selling Now at 15Vi Cents Eggs Are Unchanged. The poultry market was firm yesterday, with a sharp demand and limited receipts. Former prices prevailed. The Inquiry for pork was not so heavy, because of the hot weather, but more veals could have been sold. Good stock brought tip to 15 cents. There were no changes in the egg market. Not many fresh Oregons were received, but plenty of storage and Eastern eggs were available. Butter and cheese prices were unchanged. Nova Scotlan Apple Crop. The Nova Scotia apple crop for 1913 will be far below normal, cold wet weather at blossoming time and June frosts having In flicted much damage, reports Consul Lamb, at Halifax. Where the trees escaped they are receiving careful attention, cultivation and spraying being carried on to an extent surpassing that of any other- year. Many motor sprays have been purchased by the fruitgrowers of Annapolis Valley, which are proving very satisfactory. The varieties of apples which promise best this season are Greenings, Fallawaters. Kings, Ribstons and Starks. while Gravenstelns and Bald wins will De very short. The apple yield in 1912 was 1.000,000 barrels, a much small er crop than in 1911. Rumored Offers for Hops. No transactions were reported In the hop market yesterday, but there were plenty of rumors of high prices being offered in the country on contract. These rumors are to be expected with conditions as they now are. but there is no denying the firm un dertone of the market at all Coast points. Wool Sales at Enterprise. ENTERPRISE, Or.. Juiy 18. (Special.) C. H. Zurcher has bought three wool clips In the last few days. He took the E. B. and Paul Knapp wool. 6500 pounds; the H. Wilder clip of 6000 pounds and the 12 000 pounds of L. D.

CROP SECTIONS OPTIMISTIC Summer Sliut-Down of Steel Mills of Brief Duration Railroad- Traf fic Returns Show Continuous, Gains Over Last Year. NEW YORK, Julie 18. Dun's Review to morrow will say: , The trend of business is dtill in the right direction, even though progress is slow. In the great crop-producing regions optimism Is general, owing to the prospect of another prosperous year on the farms. - The financial markets of the East recently have been confronted with an unusual array of adverse influences, yet it is significant that these largely have been ignored and for a time this week securities advanced in an Impressive manner. Sentiment responded to the agreement to arbitrate the railway labor controversy and the offering of foreign fnnds at this center, both of which tended to offset the develop ments in the Mexican situation. Changes in strictly commercial and In dustrial conditions are mainly favorat'.e. with improvement in some Instances being quite pronounced. Wholesale distribution continues restricted as usual at this period but warm weather has stimulated the re tail demand for seasonable clothing and footwear. Mid-Summer shutdowns of the steel mills were of brief duration, as pressure for de liveries continues and new orders are in well maintained volume. More activity is ap parent In pig iron, the buying movement broadehlng under the stimulus of lower quotations. Traffic returns Indicate a continued gain in railroad gross earnings over last year the increase during the first week of July being 4.4 per cent but bank exchanges this week declined 5.3 per cent, owing mainly to the dullness in speculative channels. Commercial failures this week in the United States were 272, against 250 the cor responding week last year. Failures in Canada number 36, against 37 last year. FALL BUYING IN WEST GOOD. Trade Stimulated by Fine Crop Prospects. NEW YORK, July 18. Bradstreet's will say tomorrow: ' Trade is quiet, as a whole, a condition usual at this season, but despite tariff un certainty, which has tended to deepen of late, and high rates of money, the needs of nearly 100. 000.000 people from day to day, with necessary provision for a short distance ahead, make for a very fair volume in the aggregate. jtjest reports as to activity come from ag ricultural sections, while industrial centers and particularly the East, return relatively the slowest advices. Labor, aside from a few lines, is well employed and mid-Summer shutdowns in heavy industries are no longer than usual. Crop prospects in some sections, notably the Northwest and Southwest, are such as to stimulate Fall trade preparations ana buying In these sections Is classed as good. If not In all cases better than a year ago. Textiles are still the center of -the tariff storm, but even here there is a lack of un iformity in trade reports, cotton and silk goods faring better than wool fabrics and even the latter showing differences as be tween various divisions of that trade. Wheat, including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending July 17, aggregate 3.599.406 bushels, against 0,176,622 bushels last week and 1, 984,436 this week last year. Corn exports for the week are 225,612 bushels, against 81,893 bushels last week and 44,594 bushels in 1912. Business failures for the week ending July 17 were 231 which compares with 283 In the like week in 1912. Business failures In Canada number 34, compared with 22 the corresponding week last year. Bans; Clearings. NEW YORK, July 18. Bradstreet's bank clearings report for the week ending July 17 shows an aggregate of $3,044,737,000, as against $2,557,015,000 last week and $3,163, 623,000 in the corresponding week last year. P. C.

TONE AT CLOSE IS STEADY Improvement In Export Trade Also Adds to Strength of Chicago Market Corn Outlook Poor In Illinois. CHICAGO, July 1$ Spreading of the black rust infection had considerable to do today with rallying the wheat market after an early decline. Closing prices were steady at an advance of U'gic to Vic net. Other leading staples also maae gains: corn. c to c: oats, c to c, and pro visions 7 to 10i::ie. Bulls received help, too. from a decided rally in coarse grain and from export busi ness accompanied by gossip of renewed ten sion between Austria and Russia. Predic tions of larger world shipments caused an opening dip in wheat prices, and there also was a little setback neat" the end of tne session. Longs taking profits were respon sible for the fact that final transactions showed only a moderate degree of strength. Scattered rains in Nebraska and Kansas gave corn a down turn at the start, but prices ral'led sharply after a prominent ex pert had stated that the crop outlook was poor over a large part of Illinois. There seemed to be no end to bullish dispatches from the West and Southwest. Oats were affected a good deal by advices from Iowa telling of damage from heat. in provisions, snorts covered rreeiy. rne Incentive came from higher prices for hogs and from the bulge in coarse grain.
