THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1919. 19 X FLOUR WILL COST GOVERNMENT MORE January Buying at Advance of Ten Cents. HIGHER WHEAT IS CAUSE Quantity Purchased Will Probablj Be Less Than in Former Months This Season. The grain corporation opened bids sev eral days ago for its January allotment of flour, but ror the first time sine it began purchasing there has been delay In coming; to terms with sellers. The rapid advance in wheat prices has increased the cost of flour to millers and they are ask ing higher prices than the government eeraa willing to concede. Club wheat is now selling at a premium of 21 cenfs over the basic price, and the premium on bluestem has been raised by Puget aound buyers to 95 cents, making it worth $3.15 coast, bulk. At the grain corporation office no in formation as to the flour contracts was forthcoming, but It was stated In milling circles that the bids on January flour were S9.85 track and $9.95 F. A. S.. or 20 cents and 13 cents respectively over the December price. The price tho govern ment will accept is understood to be $9.75 track and $9.90 F. A. S. or a straight 10 cents over the December figure. One reason assigned for the delay in settling the matter was said to be the absence of Mr. Barnes, to whom the busi ness was submitted, from the New York headquarters. At any rate, it Is probable the amount of flour to be purchased will be less than in former months. HOLIDAY DULLNESS LN GRAIN MART Local Bids Are Reduced 25 to 75 Cents on Coarse Cereals. The local grain market has slowed down. Bids at the exchange ranged from 25 to 75 cents lower than Monday and the trad seemed disposed to let things rest until after Christmas. The Northwestern Miller says: "Ten thousand barrels of hard-wheat flour from Argentina are being offered to the Balti more market at $12 per barrel in 140 pound Jutes. The flour is en route with other cargoes offered for December ship ment. The flour is guaranteed 12 per cent gluten, 13 per cent moisture and ft per cent ash." Weather conditions in the middle west, as wired from Chicago: "Illinois, north cloudy, cool; central, cloudy, drizzling; western Missouri, cloudy, cool; Iowa, warmer, threatening; snow eastern Iowa; Omaha, foggy, cool ; Ohio valley, foggy, warmer; Kentucky, clear, cold ; Chicago, cool; Minnesota, snowing; Canada, cloudy, windy, cold. Forecast Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota. South Dakota gen erally unsettled tonight and Wednesday, not much change in temperature; else where, generally fair tonight and Wednes day, not much change in temperature." Broomhalt's Australian cable said: "Good rains have been experienced in this country and this precipitation will be fa vorable for the new seedlngs. The wheat crop can be considered moderate this year." Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wbeat.Barley.Fluur.Oats. Hay.

TURKEY MARKET BREAKS Dealers Cut Prices 5 Cents in Order to Hoik Off Stocks. The turkey market failed to hold Its own yesterday. Front street jobbers started out in the morning with 58'0'60-cent prices, but in the afternoon were t rying to un load their stock at 55 cents, with few buyers. As several fair sized shipments are known to be due this morning, many of them look for a further break In prices. Local retailers were but little Interested. Most of them are carrying good stocks of turkeys and so far they have found the demand very light, as was the case at Thanksgiving, owing to the extreme prices asked. There was a fairl ygood demand for live poultry with hens and springs sell ing at 30Q.-35 cents, according to size. CHEAP-PRICED APPLES IN DEMAND Little Movement in Local Market in Iligh- Prlcrd Fratt. There was a moderate demand for cheap stock on the local apple market, but not much movement in high grade fruit. Prices were unchanged. Eight cars of Oregon apples were shipped on Saturday and 8unday. Market conditions at ship ping points were wired as follows: Spokane, Wash. -Too few sales reported to quote; most shipments rolled unsold or consigned. Rochester, N. T. Light wire Inquiry. 6mand light, market weak account ap proaching holidays; too few sales to estab lish market; a few consigned. EGGS DOWN THREE CENTS MORE Fifty-Cent Martlet Is looked for After Christmas. With egg supplies accumulating on the street, a very ordinary local demand and no shipping outlet, another drop of I cents Is in sight for today. The larger buyers will send out cards quoting a de livered buying price of 52 cents on fresh Oregon ranch. Following ' Christmas there will probably be a 50-cent market.. Cube butter sold at unchanged prices extras bringing 66 cents, but there was an undercurrent of weakness in the market. Oregon Potatoes Moving. Four cars of Oregon potatoes were shipped yesterday and two arrived on the local market. Jobbing prices were un changed with the tone of the market steady. Idaho Falls.

Call .Loan Rates Advance to 18 Per Cent in Spite of Eight De mandSterling Reacts. NEW YORK. Dec. 23. Money was almost the sole Influence over today's stagnant and wavering stock market, call loans rising to 18 per cent, the highest level in several weeks, while tlm. funds were virtually unobtainable at the quoted rates of 714 to 7J per cent. Lacking a more tangible reason for the greater money stringency, reference was again made to last weAs deficit of excess reserves in the clearing house settlement. As a matter of fact, today's Inquiry for call money was reported to be the lightest of any recent period. The uncertain trend displayed by ex change on London was another source of disappointment, sterling reacting on nomi nal offerings of long time bills. Remittances to continental Europe were relatively steady. Some encouragement was offered by de velopments In the domestic Industrial sit uation, the Anaconda Copper quarterly dividend being maintained, notwithstand ing misgivings to the contrary, while the usual "extra dividend'' was declared on Central Leather. Further activity in speculative rail, mad, up a considerable part of the day's en larged operations In bonds, mostly at mod erate recessions. Liberty bonds also eased with an irregu lar tone for foreign issues. Total sales, par value, aggregated $33,500,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.
