17 TTTT5 MORNING OREGOXIAN, TTTTTTtSD A.T. OCTOBER 30, 1913. WHEAT BASIS FIRM Prospects Are Brighter i Foreign Markets. in SOUTHERN CROPS FACTOR talnable on the best hogs. Veal iru scarce and firm at 13 cents. Ths real market baa an upward tendency. The egg market wu very firm. On the street the beat candled fresh ranch were quoted at 48 cents. No chances were reported In butter or cheese. City ereamerlea are Quoting- the old price on burner, but some outside brands are shaded. Trices Locally Are Steadier, but Trading Is of Limited Propor tionsStill Above Export i Value of Grain. i The wheat market was quiet locally and at country points. There' was -inquiry from California, but buyers In the South Indicat ed lower prices. Japanese buyers, for the present, appear to be out of the market, and as for European trade, the spread between current local prices and export values is against sellers here. -In spite of the Inactivity the market has a. firmer undertone. Foreign reporta Indi cate that the toottora has been reached, and little will be required to put values at a higher level abroad. Should anything go wrong with the crops In Argentina. India or Australia, or should Russia prove to have less to export than expected, prices are cer tain to be affected. Jt already looks aa If the Indian crop will be shortened, and re ports are now coming along of unfavorable conditions in Argentina. All favorable fea tures of the -crop situation in exporting countries have been discounted, which makes the market extremely sensitive now to ad verse Influences. Yesterdays crop news from Argentina and India raised the Liver pool market l?i to ltt pence. Chicago ad vanced nearly a cent. Reviewing the International wheat situa tion Broomhall says: "Russia la exporting freely, with interior reserves large; Roumania shaping better. while purchases try France and Mediterra nean countries continue strikingly large. Germany, in the north, exporting, while the south Is buying foreign wheat as a re suit of poor harvest and low quality. India: Reports are gloomy and apprehensive, but there Is still time for seeding to November- December: with favorable weather, much of the evident loss will be recovered In acerage. The paramount reason for the weakness lri foreign markets was the result of liberal supplies, and the record Canadian market ing, although world's shipments have been nothing more than normal, considering the Autumn months.- Fears are entertained that Canada Is shipping at the expense of re serves, which may be felt later on, and then again there Is a strong fact that only two big countries are In a position to ship freely. and this fact is becoming more pronounced.' In the local market, oats and barley con tinue quiet. There is no pressure on the part of farmers to sell oats, but the demand is small, and abundant supplies remain in the country. Dealers estimate that not over 20 per cent of the crop In the Willam ette Valley has been moved, except In the territory around Portland. Stocks are also large In the Pugct Sound country. On the La Conner flats, hardly any of the big crop has been moved. Feed barley was quoted at 24. Some business has been done In brewing barley at $25. Local receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange, as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Monday Iu7 IS 18 8 20 Tuesday 113 11 0 4 14 Wednesday .... 309 I'O 7 8 44 Year ago 57 14 3 6 IS Season to date. 6909 1200 834 770 B.iO Year ago 7002 667 701 670 b-ij ORDERS FOR HOPS ARE PLEXTTFTJI, Trading; Active In Oregon and Washington and Market .Firmer. There Is more activity In the hop markets of Oregon and Washington, and while prices have not advanced, a better tone has de veloped. More orders are on hand now than at any time In the past two weeks. !Most of these orders are from Eastern sources. The purchase by A. M. Lawson of the Piper crop of 150 bales at Aurora at 22 cents was reported yesterday. Kola Nels bought 80 bales from Anse Cone, of Aurora, at !l cents, and 90 bales from A. B. Dental, of the same place, at 20 cents. Bishop purchased the Fink lot of 125 bales at Sheridan at 18 cents. H. L. Hart's purchases Included the Ed . mundson crop of 2'u hales at Eugene at 20 cents, and other lot amounting to 150 bales at 19 to 20 li cents. McNeff Bros. boutht 150 bales from Mul len, of St. Paul, .it 21 M cents, 80 bales at Woodhurn and 81 bales from George De- morral, of Yakima, at 21 ft cents. Other Takima lots sold were those of Demorral Bros., 175 bales at 21 cents, and Slavin. 80 bales at 20 cents. Twenty-two cents was bid in that section. 'William Brown A Co. brought 230 bales, comprising the Koster, Nortness and Olson crops at Silverton, at 20 cents. The only cable reported during the day was one from Bernhard Blng, of Nuremburg, which said the Continental markets were very firm. BEST OREGON WOOL. 13 FIRMLY HELD Eastern Dealers Ask Foil Prices oa Fine Staple Grades. The "wool movement is slowing down at Boston, only about 2.000,000 pounds having been sold In tho past week, according to advices received here. ' Somewhat of an easier tone In values Is said to have been realised by soma factors In the trade. Others disagree with this statement, however, and assert that values appear to have been fairly well maintained. Both graded lots and clips In the original bags of territory wool have been sold to a fair amount and the results show no dif ference other than what might be expect ed after the best selections have been ob sorbed. Less desirable lots nave declined some what on the scoured basis, naturally enough, but the best clips are held firm, so that the quotations show a greater latitude now than formerly. For instance, the Montana.' Oregon and similar One staple wools remain on. the scoured basis of 53 to 55 cents, but the quotations on other such clips are 60 to 02 cents. This widening of the range Is noted among the other grades of territory. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

STEEL LEADS IN SELLING Monetary Conditions at Home and Abroad Are Factors In Day's Speculation Bonds Are Firm and Active. NEW YORK, Oct 29. Quotations of th principal stocks were carried up a point or more in the fore part of today's session, but the market turned heavy in the afternoon. The reaction In many cases brought prices under yesterdays close. Conditions in the money markets here and abroad figured prominently. In London private discounts were higher, following the engagement there of gold for New York yesterday. In the home market, call loans were renewed at 4 per cent, an Increase of tt. The rate rose later to IW per cent. Reports that the Mexican situation was entering upon a more serious phase, and further depressing news from the steel trade helped to turn the market downward. The weekly review of the Iron Age, a recognized trade authority, was frankly pessimistic, speaking of further price' eon concessions, reduction in working forces and curtailment oz operations. Bonds were firm and active. Total sales. par value, S2.885.OO0. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATION3. Reported by J. C. . Wilson & Co., Lewis building, Portland.

The market was firm on all good grapes. Peach receipts were small and th. mar ket was firmer for good colored fruit at 40 to 60 cents. The steamer brought only a small supply et Southern vegetables. Owing to dry weather In California no cabbage or cauli flower is available, while sprouts and arti chokes are higher. ARRIVALS OF POULTRY ARE LARGER Low Prices 8 till Prevail on All Kinds Egg Market Firm. ' Receipts of poultry were larger yester day and this prevented any advance in. prices.

All the) direct testimony which the state will Introduce against Frank S. Fields, ex-County Clerk on trial for failure to turn over to his successor $18,000 of county funds, will be offered this morning: and the defense will be gin its presentation of evidence. At torney John F. Logan said last night that the defense would probably con elude before the evening adjournment Is taken. The state yesteraay offered witnesses to trace the various funds and bank accounts which Mr. Fields carried. Representatives of five existing bank ing Institutions and the defunct Ameri can Bank & Trust Company were' on the stand and detailed the dealings Mr. Fields had with their banks. Whtehor Mr. Fields received interest on funds In various banks Is not ma terial. Judge Kavanaugh ruled yester day during the examination of one of the bank officials. Mr. Evans was at tempting to show that Mr. Fields held certificate of deposits issued by the Portland banks, and on which he was drawing interest. The detailed Questions In' regard to Mr. Fields' banking, methods, which Mr. Evans asked the bank officers, called for almost continuous objections from Attorney Logan, who charged that the District Attorney was only attempting to . prejudice, the jury against the defendant. "The testimony in regard to Interest 1s not at issue and you are not acting In good faith when you insist on bring ing It before the Jury," the attorney for tba defense said to Mr. Evans in making objection to testimony. Harrlsburg Wants Bridge. Harrlsburg, Or, is determined to have a bridge aoross the Willamette River, to replace the ferry now operated, ac cording to J. B. Littler, of that city, who was in Portland yesterday.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29. Nervousness over the crop outlook for India and Argentina caused a material advance in the wheat market today. The wind-up, however, was weak at a rise of c net. Corn fin ished o to $0 higher than yes terday, oats varying trom a shade oft to an equal gain and provisions down 2 to 25o. Bullish sentiment regarding wheat-' re ceived fresh Impetus when the day's primary receipts were shown to be only a third of the total a year ago. Buying of Canadian wheat for Buffalo millers exercised a re straining Influence, but tills was more than offset later by strength at Winnipeg. Rough weather put firmness In the corn market. Realizing by speculative longs held oats down. Holders of provisions unloaded to such an extent that the market became semi-demoralized near 'the close. - The leading futures ranged as follows - WHEAT. Open. .

Representatives of the National Grain Dealers' Association today formally notified faecretary Houston. of tho Department of Agriculture, that the organization ravored the Government s pro posed standardization of foreign grades. Ob jection was made by members of the Ball! more Chamber of Commerce, who declared that the promulgation of the new grades would seriously anect tneir export trade, the largest In tne country. Many of the speakers today, while fa voring the proposed grades, urged modifica tions. In place of the Government's pro posed No. 3 corn with a moisture - test of 17. d per cent, they urged the substitution of a grade to be called "standard," and making the Government s proposed No. 4 No. 3. with a -moisture test of 19.5 per cent. i n is. tney pointed out, would leave th present grades ' virtually unchanged and would give the producer an incentive to produce a "standard grain with a mois ture test or li.o per cent.

Three Companies to Look for Fuel and' Thousands of Acres Are Held Under Operating Lease. CENTRAL! A, Wash., Oct. 29. (Spe ctel.) If oil Is struck In this vicinity, which, from all Indications it will be. Centralla will oe tee center of one of the most, extensive oil fields on the Coast. At the present time three sep arate companies are in the field search ing: for the fuel. The Washington Oil Company is the latest to enter the neid, Two thousand acres are being leased by this company between Tenlno and the Skookumchuck Kiver In fcouthern Thurston and Northern Lewis Counties, and after considerable Investigation and prospecting, drilling for oil and gas will begin immediately. The Crescent Oil Company, of Seat tle Is erecting a derrick on the Dixon farm near Little Rock, and drilling will begin as soon as their outfit arrives. The Dixon farm Is part of the 10.000 acres Just leased by the company be tween Tenlno and KiacK Lake. In addition to these two, the Tenlno Sandstone Company has reported es caping natural gas In its quarries, and Is taking iteps to determine whether or not It exit's in paying quantities. The Crescent Oil Company started operations last Spring, and withheld any announcement of what It was do ing until' it had secured 10,000 acres of prospective ( oil land by lease. This companv has sought the advice of Lew is and Thurston County engineers as to right of ways for pipe lines for natural gas. Numerous authorities have predicted the existence of oil and gas in this sec tion for some time past, but the only actual drilling ever done to test It was made by a man named Christopher near Tenino, in 1903. At that time it was re ported that the fuel existed In large quantities, but Christopher ran out of funds and was forced to abandon the project- The old Christopher well, how ever, will be one of the first worked by the Crescent Company.
