TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST. 10, 1919. 21 CARRYING PREMIUMS WILL HOT- BE ADDED No Storage Charges to Apply for Present. RESERVE BEING BUILT UP Crain Corporation Refuses-to Enter Into Contracts With Foreign Bujerst This Time. Rumor in some of the farming district" that 'carrying charge are to be put on the basic wheat prices, which have checked the tendency of farmers to sell, are er at rest by the following bulletin, which has been,. Issued by M. H. Houser. second vice-president of the grain corporation : The United States frrain corporation, an nounces that there will be no storage pre miums added to the basic prices Id its bay ing scale for the present nor ilntil there ac cumulates in the grain corporation's hands a. sufficient reserve of wheat to assure a measure of protection for future home re 'qulrements. In accordance with this policy the. wheat director is refusing proffered contracts which foreign buyers are desirous of .mak ing at the grain corporation price eveT, these buyers being apparently anxious to cover their requirements for some months in advance. Apparently, their inability to -secure supplies in other sources of wheat ma feres them especially urgent in proposing contracts with the United States, but these contracts cannot be entered into until a sufficient accumulation of wheat in the hands of the grain corporation furnishes assurance of reasonable prices to our own people." The following bulletin was also Issued by the local office: "The United States grain corporation an nounces an extension of time on the accept ance of trade agreements from July 31 un til August 20. Grain dealers, millers, flour Jobbers, bakers, and terminal elevator oper ators who have not yet signed thtir re spective form of agreement may still secure blank forms of agreement and have -them accepted, provided they are signed and re turnd to this office on or before August 20."

The corn situation in the United Kingdom remains about unr hanged, but the outlook appears decidedly more favorable to buyers.

J. Dixon, a, wholesale produce dealer of this city, who, has sent the following letter to producers and dealers in this section and also to the Oregon delegation in congress;.-; Ther is pending In congress several bins seriously hostile to any firm, corporation or individual engaged in tne ouytng, sewing r 1 shipping of dairy products, poultry, or poul try products, and if those engaged in this business do not awaken to the danger -f these bills they will find their business oper ations harnessed with a multitude of rules1 and regulations that will make their xecent similar , experiences with the rules imposed ' by the food administration seem like a pleasant dream in comparison. The Kenyon bill, known as senate bill No. 2202, provides for the appointment by the presldert of a commission of foodstuffs, at an 'annual salary of $10,000. The commis--sioner's duty shall be to administer and en force the provisions of the bfll ..The bill provides, among other things, that any per son, firm or corporation engaged In the buy ing, seMing or shipping of dairy products r poultry products, whose business exceeas $500,000 a year, shall secure' a license from he secretary of agriculture; that every icensee shall keep records and statements and make reports or returns, under oath or thcrwise, that will disclose all the transac tions in his business; that any officer so designated by the government may enter his lace of business, inspect his books, letters. papers or documents relating to his business. That the commissioner of ioodsturts- may investigate and ascertain the demand for. supply of, consumption, costs "and prices of dairy products, poultry and poultry, products. If the commissioner believes that any Icensee is violating any rules he may sum mon said licensee to appear for -a bearing before the secretary of agriculture, and if the judgment of the secretary any rules ave been violated, he shall suspend, ettner temporarily or permanently, the license of the violator, and that the commissioner may apply for a receiver for licensee's business. The Kendrick bill is practically along tne same lines with the exception that it ex empts no person, firm or corporation f row avlng to secure a license and operate under hat practically amounts to government -con trol, excepting farmers. The Owen blill, known as senate bill No. S10, would create a $10.000,000 corporation nd put the government into direct us mess competition with you. ' - - No dealer in the produce business win onestly say that he believe that his busi est or the commuiity In general would be benefited in the least by a licensing system. and all that goes with it tn the way of rules. regulations and red tape reports, ana surely no dealer wants a $100,000,000 corporation backed by all the power, influences and re- ources of the federal government for a di rect competitor. The Kenyon hiu, however, is the most dan gerous of these measures, as it not only would provide for a licensing system and an laboAate set of rules and regulations, wut would go further and permit the secretary f agriculture to throw you into the hands of a receiver and operate you under govern ment control. It is a mistaken Idea among some pro duce dealers that the Kenyon bill and the others are aimed particularly at the meat packers. ' This is not a fact, as an ins pec ion of any of the bills will disclose. They virtually concern every person or firm who deals in any way In butter, eggs and poul- as well as livestock and meat. Certain ntereats axe trying to make It appear that he Kenyon bill. If passed, would prove good thing for dealers in butter, eggs and poultry, other than the' meat packers. The act that the National Poultry, Butter and Egg association, an organization of very nearly loot) butter, egg, poultry and cheese dealers In all. parts of the country, are bit' erly fighting these billsi should conclusive! prove that this is not a fact, and that the bills. If passed, would be a serious detriment to our trade tn general. This is a fight affecting everybody in. our line of business, and w should ntand to- gether for mutual protection. You should not only write Senators Chamberlain and Mc Nary, and your representatives In congress opposition to the Knyn biTl No. 22 oi he Kendrick bill No. 2199 and the Owen bill No. 810, but you should get others to do so. with the passage of th bills a flood of others similar in nature affecting the buying aale and manufacturing or everything, to use a popular expression. " "rom soup nuts." will follow. Get out and tight these bills now. It will do no good to fight them after they are passed, and if they are passed, you will be ready to fight anything. Do not listen to those who tell you that these bills affect only certain ones. Remember, you can't hurt anyons -in cur line of business without hurt in j all engaged in It, Including yourself. Write today, or better stilL wire your sen ators and representatives In congress In op position to thfse bins. GRADING OF T.iHiS IS NECESSARY Successful Market Depends on Buying on Rigid Uniform Batds. The . necessity of having uniform grades mt eggs as a buying basis in this market is pointed out by F. E. Howard, manvr of the Mutual creamery, who wrties: "At some time every egg Is fresh and If sent to market promptly would bring the producer its full worth. Othec large mar kets grade and pay for eggs upon abasls of their real worth, "Why not Portland? Local handlers who have attempted to sell eggs at San Francisco and other large mar kets have met with a loss, whereas if our market was put upon a grading basis an Opportunity would be offered to deal upon dium to choice, $20.75 21.

LOSSES OF WEEK ARE RETRIEVED Recoveries in Some Stocks Extend .Beyond Last Week's Final Prices. NEW YORK, Aug." 8. Tense labor con ditions, as indicated by the demands of the railway brotherhoods and strikes in various sections of the country, together with the ex tension of the crusade against high living costs were the direct causes of this week's convulsive reversal In the stock market, -v - President Wilson's address to the natjonaf H.w makers proved a partial offset, .however, tha financial community expressing -its al most unqualified approval of the chief recommendations of the president, especially his sLmd against the radical labor leaders. Gross reactions of 5 to Z5 points through out the active list and among many dormant or obscure issues were retrieved in the final sessions of the week and la a few isolated cases recoveries extended beyond the previous wiek'B rinal Quotations. Aside from the many manifestations of labor unrest, industrial conditions were al most altogether in the direction . of in. creased production, as evidenced not only fn mo uuijr tun n age statement 01 in Liiiia totates Steel corporation, but ir the belief; hat the.-federal -railroad administration most soon come into the market for eauiom-.tit. In the broader f ieldsnf fi.i.inri ami mrfl. merce further criticism was heard about the aetay in remedying th. foreign credit titua ton. - The collapse of French francs -r;d coj) tinned weakness of rates on London and orner Important European centers- have tius ar prompted no remedial measures, although bankers have urged speedy action by fiscal authorities in London and Paris. ' ' STOCK GAINS INCREASED TRADING INFLUENCED .CHIEFLX BY PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. All Interests in Wall Street Accept Message Favorably Industrial Conditions Improve; NEW YORK" A tiff- fl Tmdlnr In .I..V. today was influenced almost entirely by President Wilson's address which Wall street Interests, conservative as well as specu lative, accepted as extremely favorable to the constructive side. Gains of the precedlnsr session were rnn. iderably enhanced. esDeciallv In r mnmpn and the wide range of industrials which are expected to show further prosperity by enormous post-war demands. r Rails and food shares, which', mm Tt rl severely in the several recent declines, also rallied vigorously, a large part of .the week's extreme losses being recovered. , In a few noteworthy Instances substantial net gains over last week's strong clos were made. the market finishing at advance of- 2 to points. Sales amounted to 65, OtfO . shares. General news of the day also favored the long account. Including the July toni nage statement of the United States Steel corporation, which disclosed an increase in unfilled orders of almost 70.000 tons over the preceding month. This marks he second successive Increase of the cor poration and brings the total .of business on band up to and, beyond any period since last jiarcn. Industrial conditions also Improved. Bonds were lrreirular. ifbert v Imum as well as internationals. Total sales, par vulue, aggregated $7,250,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call dur ing; the week.
