TITE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY. XOVE3IBER 27, 1913. 15 EXPORT FLOUR IS UP Ten-Cent Advance Is nounced by Millers. An- IMO CHANGE IN PATENTS Stendy Advance In Wheat Follows Kcduclion In Steumer and Sail ing; Ship lYeights Farmers Are Xot Selling Freely. There was an advance yesterday of 10 cants a barrel In export flour urlcea as result of the higher -wheat market. Although wheat buyjns ha slowed down. the market continues firm. All the dealers are picking up a lltlte. 'but selling- Is not free. There may be some loosening- up by growers before the holidays, but at the present time sellers are demanding full prices. There are four or five ships on the Coast looking for charters, and this has re duced rates lO shllllrjrs per quarter. This led to the advance In wheat prices, and when bids were raised, trading became ac tive. Over 1,000,000 bushels are said to have been bought In the early part of the -week. For club, 81 cents was bid yesterday, and bluest em was quoted at 01 Vi cents. Tn a general way, -wheat market condi tlons are good. Europe Is buying white wheat freely. The only supply now available Is In the United States and Australia, and there Is not much in the latter country, Red wheat Is wanted by Japan, and the de mand from that quarter keeps such wheat firm. Millers are, therefore, oompelled to pay what farmers ask for needed supplies, and to even matters up, export grades ol flour have been advanced to $3.63 for straights and $3.80 for cut-offs. Patents also should be selling higher, hut owing to local conditions in the Coast markets, do mestic flour Quotations are unchanged. Local receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Monday 101 Tuesday 44 Wednesday .... 67 Year ago Eeason to date.8785 Tear sgo 8073 ft 27 7 19 4 e 9 7 11 3 17 IS S 10 13 13!)7 1117 1161 1R33 1219 007 663 1084 WOOL, TRADING ACTIVE IX EAST Free Manufacturers Interested.

Corn closed unchanged to ttKc lower, oats off Ho to c and provisions varying from a setback ot 5c to a rise of 2,c.

Because the proposed municloal bond issue of $200,000 does not provide for more parks and playgrounds the Parent-Teacher Association of the Vernon School District adopted resolutions op posing the bond issue at the meeting Monday night. Speakers declared it is proposed to use the money from this bond issue to provide lights for fa vored sections while other districts are not provided with playgrounds. Kev. Oswald w. Taylor said that there are many large districts without playgrounds, notably the Vernon, wiht 20,000 or more people. Rev. H. N. Mount introduced the resolution oppos ing the bond issue, and in doing so declared that it was not alone because Vernon has no park, but because many thickly settled districts are "not pro vided with parks and playgrounds.
