Less Wheat Held
HOLDINGS BELOW
HUNDRED-MILLION
MARK IS REPORT
Foreign Sales Reduce
I Supply to Approximate
ly 96,000,000 Bushels
More to be Moved.
: WASHINGTON. May 14 (! Melt
ing away under restricted monthly
solas and Red Cross gifts, the farm
board's holdings of actual cash wheat
have dropped below the lOO.OW.ow-
bushel mark.
'"Recent foreign soles- reduced the
supply to approximately 06.000,000
buHhela, and, If export 'credits , aro
provided by congress, there Is a pos
sibility only 60,000,000 bushels may
remain on July 1 when the farmers'
new crop moves into markets. ,
The grain stabilization corporation
has, however, futures contracts for
about 25.000,000 bushels. Between 0,'
000,000 and 8,000,000 were sold In
the last few days, chiefly to European
countries. Although these sales ex
ceeded the B.000,000 monthly allot
ment, they will not be replaced. ThiB
Is explained by the fact that some
monthly sales have not approximated
this figure.
TO DIE A NATURAL DEATH
CONCORD, N. H., May 14 W
United States , Senator George H.
Moses thinks the federal farm board
will die a natural death.
Ho made the assertion today In a
letter received, by a Rockingham
county constituent, who had asked
him to explain his stand on certain
national problems. .
Moses said the end of the farm
board would bo brought about "by
reason of exhaustion of Its funds and
changing conditions which will rend
er Its continuance unnecessary."
WOOh MAHKKT .
i , BOSTON, , May 14 W1) Definite
signs of an Improvement In the- wool
market have bean lacking the last
week. While sentiment shows a little
Improvement, It was not stated, upon
any Increase In actual trade. A 11m'
lted amount of business was con-
fined to a few mills that have small
Immediate requirements or to mills
that purchased sample lots for test-
ing. The most encouraging feature
was an Increase In number of In
quiries for' wool and tops.

of whloh was a homorun by his old
'Brooklyn mato, Babe Herman.

Butter Market
Shows a Steady
To Strong Tone
PORTLAND. May 14 W -4 Market
for butter reflects a steady to strong
tone at the weekend with demand
rather keen and no burdensome sur
plus in sight. Demand for Ice cream
has cut down somewhat the manu
facture of butter.
Price changes are still Infrequent
In the egg markets of the country.
Locally there remains a lack - of
change. Coops and private Jlrms In
general are maintaining their prlceB.
Unattached producers are still shad
ing. - -- '
In general Bteady tone is showing
for live chickens. Tho market for
broilers of small size is the exception.
In that line there remains a very
sluggish call with Western Washing-;
ton overloading the wants here. j
At the weekend there was a fairly
steady tone noted In the market for
country killed meats with some show
ing of strength In calves. Hogs were
Just holding. Good lambs were less
plentiful but there was plenty of me
dium to poor stuff.
General slipping of new crop onion
prices Is reflected in California and
Texas, tho two big supplying states at
the moment.
Sharp Lidvance of 25c pyramid Is
showing for asparagus here for the
weekend, tho result of Increasing de
mand and less liberal offerings ac
cording to trade leaders. Sales to $1.75
pyramid.
California strawberries advanced
sharply Saturday with smaller sup
plies and a good demand for the
weekend. Sales were made up to
91.90 crate for 20s. Quality nothing to
brag about.
First home grown strawberries of
the season and the best fruit to ar
rive here for the period, was displayed :
on the east side farmers' wholesale
market during the weekend session
The initial supply consisted of a
number of full crates of Gold Dollars
from Canby, which section is noted 1
not only for early, but for-good fruit
and vegetables. Sales were made at i
4 for 24s. -. i

in Dual Meets.
CORVALLIS, Ore., May 14 W)
Not even the most optimistic Orange
fans expect Oregon State college
trackmen to give Washington State
college a close run in a dual feet
to be held hero this afternoon.
All the "dope" favors the Cougars.
Last month tho University of Wash
ington swamped Oregon State, 92 to
38, but last week had difficulty In
subduing Washington State, 66 to
03, victory coming only in the final
event of the meet the relay. Wash
ington State captured eight firsts
in the meet with Washington. Ore
gon State won only three firsts.
Tho Orangemen will be handicap
ped by the absence of two men who
had been counted on to gather a
number of points today. Bob Bron
son, a quarter mllcr, is 111 with bron
chitis, and Carl Ayers, who won the
Javelin event against Washington last
year, recently lrritalied an old arm
injury and will bo unable to com
pete further this season.

Starr has traveled the distance in
21.3, while Pederson, the Husky
speedster, was clocked at 22.7 against
Washington State recently.

In the quarter mile, the high hurdles,
low hurdles, discus and Javelin and
