THE ' MORA'JLXti OKEUOMAX, SATURDAY, ALlitSl it, XU13. BUYERS BEAR PRICE Demand for Export Flour at Lower Quotations. FILLERS HOLDING FIRM Oriental Situation Is Clearing and it Terms Could- Be AgTeed Upon, Orders of Good v Volume MigTit Be Booked. If flour buyers and sellers couid pet to gether on prices, a good volume of trade Ti lth the Orlerft could be worked up. There is a spread of 10 to 20 cents, however, in the Ideas of millers and purchasers for Far Eastern account, and neither side seems willing- to make concessions yet. Indications point to an early demand of considerable proportions from the Orient, but up to the present time this demand is not of a char atcer pressing enough to cause the buyers to advance their bids. Af-i- , Antith China appear to be clear ing, as private cables received yesterday wt-- tn t effect that the rovernraeni i . control of the situation. It is taken for granted that the end of the revolutionary troubles la not far off, and witn tms ques tlon settled and silver rising, orders from that quarter are looked for soon. Japanese buyers have already piacea a lew sraa.it or ders, but are not inclined to operate actively at current rates. Shippers are hoping for a further reduc tion of 50 cents In trans-Pacific freights. It is pointed out that 80,000 tons of steamer space is available for all INorth Coast points, Including Vancouver, B. C, in September, and the lines cannot possibly fill this at the rates announced. The lines, however, have a-lven no intimation that they will make another cut. The wheat market continues inactive and weak. The demand is limited and not much Is beina offered. New hay is beginning to come tn freely and the market is easier. Prices are mate rially lower than a few weeks ago, when there was a scarcity in the market. Re eclpts of hay yesterday were 23 cars and for the week to date 41 cars have arrived. Weekly foreign wheat shipments were as follows: ThU wlr T.aat week. Last year.

Aside from an offer of liOi cents for an Independence crop, there wero no new de xrlupments in the hop market yesterday. The . flcmend, on the whole, was small, and no contracts were signed up.

Yakima Crawfords will begin arriving the latter part of next week, and carlot shipments of Elbert as wil start be tween August 20 and 23. The Yakima sea son is late this year.

NEW YORK, May S. Bradstreet's tomor row wiil sii.v: While irregularity still pervades trade. crop and industrial repons and Fall trade seems rather slow to get under headway, the underlying general tone, except in sec tions where early favorable feeding crop promise nas iaoec, sun is highly optimistic Securities markets at home and abroad show an improving tendency, te money si tun tlon reilects loss tension, the country's wheat yield promises to be a bumper one, cotton crop promise, as a whole, is excel lent, pig Iron is more active at higher prices. th tariff debate, though dragging, still moves toward its close ; the railroads are 1110 ring the first of the country's large crops and export clearances of wheat are liberal. There are, however, . enough spotty fea tured in the outlook "to prevent conserva tive management of business affairs from being rashly abandoned. Business failures for the week ending August 7 were 263, which compare with 221 in laii Wheat, including flour,' exports' from the United States and Canada for the week ag gregate 6.681,009 bushels, against 2.740,125 bushels last year. WEEKLY STATISTICS SHOW EXPANSION Increase In New Iron and Steel Orders Is Reported. NEW YORK, Aug. 8. Dun's Review will say tomorrow: Confidence still holds sway in business circles. Optimism in the West and South has been tempered somewhat by tbe damage to corn, although it is the opinion that much of the lou& in that cereal wiil be offset by the gain in wheat. Generally considered, agricultural pros pects continue promising and the purchas ing power of the farming community will be enhanced by abundant harvesis and re munerative prices for the leading staples. Current trade reflects the usual Summer quietness, yt encouraging reports outnum ber those of an opposite character. Most statistics indicate expansion, for eign commerce being larger than a yeai ago and railroad earnings for July exceed ing 1911'. A slight increase in the volume of new orders Is apparent in iron and steel, but consumers are buying cautiously. Preparations are being made for Fall business in dry goods.

DROUTH AND HEAT 0AUSE Wheat Values Sag on AVell-Grounded Fears of Bearish Government Estimate and Oats Are Likewise Affected. CHICAGO, Aug. 8. Government figures today on crop losses In corn proved to be much more bullish than expected. The re port, however, came too late to affect prices, the market closing easy at a net ad vance of c to lc. Latest trading left wheat c to c down, oats unchanged to c higher ana provisions off 25c to 710c Guessers on the Washington estimate as to the yield of corn had:-put the production 32.000.000 bushels too high. Advanced prices today were not based so much on what the Government report would show, but on the continued drouth in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska and the excessive heat In the two first-named states. The advance car ried September to a new high level for the season, 72 c. Because of bearish official figures expect ed after the close, the wheat crowd feared to follow the bull turn In corn. The dread was well grounded, for the Washington re port on wheat verified advance estimates here. Oats displayed sympathy with the corn bulge. As in wheat, however, solicitude regarding bearish news from "Washington served to check any decided upturn. Realizing sales weakened the provision market. Headers were taking advantage of support, due to strength of corn and hogs. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low.

Only two shipments of stock were re ceived at the yards at North Portland yes terday. A load of hogs was put on sale, and this .was the only business dona. The hogs were sold at the previous day's prices. Commenting on the hog trade, the Livestock Reporter says: "The hog market is a puzzler at the pres ent time and nobody is bold enough to say what the exact trend is. Judging from the reluctance with which buyers bid for swine supplies, their game is a waiting 'one. Dis astrous drouth in the Middle West has caused a flood of hogs and cattle to all t9 great Missouri River markets and Drives have sagged from 50c to $1 there in ten days. The reverse Is true in the Northwest, where the liquidation has fallen off to a minimum, compared with June and July re ceipts. Killers hppe to lay in a pork sup ply at lower prices If possible, but whether they can force the market much lower is a problem for the near future to solve." The arrivals yesterday were 25 cattle, hipped by A. F. Hunt, of Caldwell, Idaho, and 92 hogs, from Nagel,. Bros., of Pasco.

DRUG VENDOR IS GUILTY Wong Kong Is Convicted by Jury in Judge McGinn's Oour. Wongf Kong-, a Chinese charged with selling cocaine to minors and having the druc in his possession, was con victed by a jury in Judge McGinn's de partment of the Circuit Court yester day, fte was remanded to the custody of the Sheriff, the Judge thinking his bond of $1600 not sufficient and stat ing that it would be raised to $5000. An appeal to the Supreme Court of the state is probable. Wong Kong was first convicted last week in Municipal Court. Judge Stevenson crave him six kmonths on the rockpile and a fine of fauu, the maximum. Judge McGinn notified District At torney Evans to -investigate Wong Kong's status and see if he can be de ported after serving his sentence. The Judge also sent word to Immigration Inspector Barbour. Judge McGinn stated that when Wong Kong comes up for sentence Monday the punishment meted out will be the same as that im posel by Judge Stevenson.
