WHEAT TRADEOPENS
First of New Crop Reaches
This Point
MARKET AT PRESENT IS FIRM
Barley Is Quoted Weaker, but Oats
Are on the Advance Export
Flour Business Checked by
Rise In War Risks.
The feature o'f the past week in the local
markets was the arrival of the first
wheat of the new crop at this point. A num
ber of sales are also reported in the Interior
at prices a. shade higher than were quoted a
week ago. One deal In new barley is an
nounced, hut no oats of this year's crop havo
yet arrived. Outside of the cereal markets,
business was rather quiet and featureless.
Hop prospects are about the same as a week
ago, with no business la spot or futures.
Trade In fruits has varied with the weather.
In farm and dairy produce poultry and butter
have been weak and eggs steady. Prices have
been maintained for all kinds of dressed
meats.
WHEAT. The market for new-crop wheat Is
opening slowly. One lot has changed hands
at tidewater, and a number of transactions
are reported In the interior at about the same
prices that old wheat has lately moved. At
the outside 67 cents Is quoted as the value
sf club, with a 5-cent range between that and
bluestem. An aggregate of only 50,000 bush
els has so far been disposed of, but ad the
grain Is beginning to reach the warehouses
more freely, the market can now be expected
to take on & more or less active tone. All
the business being done is on the export basis,
millers quoting no more than shippers. The
new wheat that has reached here from east of
the mountains, and the first arrivals at ware
bouses up the Valley have graded remarkably
well. The official standards will not bo fixed
for a month yet. The tone of the market is
quite firm In response to the strength of East
cm markets. No new-crop chartering Is re
ported, and thcro Is no Indication of a break
In the- deadlock existing between exporters
and the Shipowners' Association.
Grain trade conditions In England are re
ported In the London correspondence of the
Northwestern Miller of July 20, as follows:
There has been a decidedly improved feeling
in the wheat markets during the week, owing
to the falling off in the shipments to Europe
(which have averaged only 070,000 quarters
during the past three weeks, as compared with
an average of 1.200.000 quarters a week In
the previous months), the consequent big re
duction In the quantities afloat, and the gen
erally unfavorable crop prospects In Europe.
France and Germany being the only two
countries where It can be expected that the
crop will equal last year's.
In Roumania. In fact, it is tolerably certain
that there will be a reduction of 40 per cent
in the yield, compared with last year's: In
Russia the "Winter wheat crop is more or less
a failure, and the more Important Spring
wheat crop has not bad a very favorable start;
In Austria-Hungary a decrease of 26 per cent
is expected: In Italy the falling off, compared
with last year, will be probably 15 per cent,
and a similar state of things exists In Spain.
In the United Kingdom It is doubtful wheth
or the crop will exceed 4.000.000 quarters,
against 8.000.000 quarters last year, and in
France, according to the latest reports, the
crop la a very Irregular one, and only really 1
good in tse North.
What I suggested in Hheae letters a month
ago would happen has actually taken place,
viz., the Argentine supplies have become quite
unimportant, and the chief 6ources of supply
are now Russia and India, which countries
have furnished 70 per cent of the total ship
ments to' Europe during the past two weeks.
Indian shippers, knowing the necessity which
will exist for their wheat in the next six
months, are holding back; in point of fact,
India has never been known to be a free seller
of her surplus below 30s per quarter. On the
other hand, Russian shippers are Inclined to
stiffen their prices on account of the poor crop
outlook, and It is probable that the Russo-Japanese
War will have a greater effect upon the
Russian grain trade in the coming season than
It has had In the past season, because the de
feats which Russia has experienced has led
the government to absorb all the railway roll
ing stock possible for the purpose of moving
the troops to the East.
fc The only feature in the general outlook. In
my opinion, which prevents a general desire
to buy wheat for Autumn delivery Is the un
certainty with regard to the American crop,
and tho surplus which will be available from
that country. To put it briefly, you may take
It for granted that the Importing countries
next season will require 61.000,000 quarters,
or 1.200.000 quarters a week.
Two things must happen if we are to expect
44.000,000 quarters from countries other than
Europe next season: one is that Argentina
must have another big crop and a surplus ot
10.000.000 quarters; and another Is that all
must go well with the next Indian crop.
I believe, therefore, that the importing
countries will look to America and Canada for
at least 20.000,000 quarters, or IGO.000.000
bushels In the coming season, and falling that
quantities, prices must inevitably advance
from their present comparatively low level in
order to attract the necessary supplies. By
this you will see that I take a very bullish
view of the distant future.
FLOUR, FEED. ETC. Prospects of a good
export flour business, which were bright at
the close of last -week, were suddenly damp
ened by the news of the seizure of the Portland
steamer Arabia and the reported confiscation
of the Calchas. "War risks made a sharp ad
vance, which has practically prohibited the
working of new export business. The flurry
Is expected to blow over In a day or two,
when a resumption of orders Is looked for.
Whatever new business comes up, however,
will probably be on Hong Kong account. The
steamship Aragonla, nearly ready to sail for
the Orient, will carry out about 60.000 barrels
of flour, and enough old orders are on hand to
provide the vessel following a month later
with a flour cargo of the same size. The
local demand for flour continues good at former
quotations. The undertone of the market is
firm. 4
Mlllfeed of all kinds have been In good de
mand at firm prices. Strength Is also showrt
In the oats market, though none of the new
crop has yet arrived here. One transaction In
new feed barley Is announced at a decline
from prices hat prevailed on the old crop.
The hay market Is quiet.
WOOL. A reaction of the activity In the
Boston wool market Is reported, but prices
conUnue very firm. The American "Wool nnd
Cotton Reporter of July 21 said:
Further sales of Oregon wools are reported
at full prices. The best wools are bringing
ISHlOIic In the grease, and some are holding
iiDi- uc xor xne rest conaitioned stock. The
wools are costing clean around U5o.
The Reporter quotes Oregon wools at East-
seaboard markets as follows: Eastern
taple, 10820c; Eastern Oregon, choice cloth-
ig, 1617c; Eastern Oregon, average, 1415c,
lastern Oregon, heavy. 12Sl5c; Valley Oregon,
o. 1, 2021c; Valley Oregon, No. 2, 2425o;
alley Oregon, No, 3, 2223c; Valley Oregon,
mbs, 1617c
RODUCE. Most unsatisfactory conditions
evall In the poultry market, and quotations
lve declined from day to day. With only a
erate demand, receipts have been far In
;ess,.pf requirements. A good proportion of
arrivals have, of "necessity, been put "la
storage.
jggs, on the other hand, have done welL
inquiry- aas been good, and tho price of
flh ranch -moved up to 21 cents, but an in-
se In Tecelpta prevented any further ad
ice.
itter remains weak, with the supply too
large for local consumption. Cheese Is also
easy. x
In Summer fruits the demand -was very
strong on the hot days, but subsided -when the
weather turned osoler. This was particularly
the case -with melons, of which a full supply
Is being carried. The price list In this line
shows general decreases from last week, and
the same applies to vegetables. The move
ment In old potatoes Is slow, with plenty of
new stock on hand.
GROCERIES. MEATS. ETC. No a single
change of Importance oocurred In -the staple
grocery list In the week. Sugar is quite arm,
and an advance Is expected.
Livestock receipts have held up well, and
prlcas are about as last quoted. There has
been a good Inquiry for dressed pork and veal
since the temperature dropped, but beef has
been rather slow sale. Hog products of all
kinds are as quoted a week ago.
Washington Crop Report.
The Washington Weekly Crop Report Is In
port as follows:
The week was dry and warm, except the lat
ter part, which was moderately cool. The
warm weather culminated with the hot day on
the 21st, when the temperature reached 90 to
05 degrees in the western division, and 85 to
102 degrees in the eastern division, and was
followed by a, decided drop in tomperature on
the 22d. The warm weather was. In general,
favorable for haying, harvesting, and for the
growth of corn and -vegetables. It was a little
too dry and hot for the best effect on Spring
wheat, which Is In the filling stage. It was
splendid haying weather, and although the
bulk of tho hay crop has been put up in fine
condition, a considerable amount on lowlands
remains to be cut.
No better weather could be desired for the
Fall wheat harvest, which baa progressed sat
isfactorily during the week, and good yields
are reported. Considerable oat-cutting has
been done. Spring wheat suffered considerably
from the dry weather and hot winds. It is
just now at the critical stage, when hot
winds are most Injurious, and cool, cloudy
showery weather would be beneficial. Some
Improvement has been noticed in potatoes.
Apricots, peaches and early apples are ripening
in. Klickitat and Yakima Counties.

SNAILS AND SLUGS AS FOOD.
Distinction Generally Drawn Be
tween These Mollusks and Oysters.
PORTLAND. July 26. (To the Editors
Would you kindly let me know through the
columns of your valued publication whether
any people of any nationality In the world use
the large snail, or slug, for eating or any
other purpose. I have a place in the vicinity
of this city where there are thousands, the
average being from three to seven Inches.
If used for eating purposes, bow are they
prepared? If not fit to eat, what is the rea
son. It any In particular? SUBSCRIBER.
The Oregonlan endeavors to answer all
questions asked In good faith by seekers
after information, .but this Is often
rendered difficult ana sometimes Impos
sible by tholr indefinite nature. In this
case It appears plain that the inquirer
has as keen an appetite for Information
as it may be inferred he has for luxuries
of the table. His Inquiry is still' indefi
nite, as It is not plain whether he con
siders the large "snail or slug" one and
the same or whether his meaning would
not be made more clear by having asked
whether "either the large snail or slug
are used for food." As It is It Is much
the same as If one had asked whether the
ox or horse is used for food.
The snail and slug are gastropod mol
lusks, belonging to the same family as
the many varieties of clams and oysters,
but the term "snail" is almost universally
used to designate animals of this kind
which have well-developed spirally coiled
shells, while those which havo merely
rudimentary or concealed shells, or no
shell at all, are called slugs.
There are many species of snails having
spiral shells, the largest of which is
known as the "edible snail" and Is very
commonly used for food in France and
Italy, and to some extent In the South
of England. As in many countries where
flesh food is scarce and dear and the
people poor grasshoppers, worms, ants,
bugs and snakes arc eaten.
It Is probable, however, that "Subscri
ber" refers to the large slug common In
damp places In the woods, and usually
found crawling over decaying wood, as
this Is the largest slug known. It is not
eaten by Christian people, who, however,
consume large numbers of hogs and chick
ens, both omnivorous and filthy feeders,
and the latter considered "unclean" and
rejected by many heathen.
As to why slugs are not eaten it might
seem as pertinent to ask why dogs and
crows are not eaten as well as hogs and
chickens. Visitors to the late Convention
at St. Louis saw In the Philippine ex
hibit at the Fair a number of American
citizens, Igorrotes, skinning and eating
dogs, and also a much more numerous
tribe of Americans who have been eating
crow very extensively for years.
If used for eating, slugs might be pre
pared in the same manner as clams,
oysters and snails are.
The only known reason for slugs not be
ing used for food Is that it has been found
that they are Infested with larval forms
of various worm-shaped parasites of
vertebrate animals. For Instance, a small
slug found in pastures harbors the larval
form of the "liver fluke, ' a worm that
causes rot in sheep, and the large slug
may harbor the cause of liver or stomach
troubles in man.
"Subscriber" need not, however, allow
this to deter him from feasting on his
bountiful supply of three to seven-inch-long
slugs, as if they are properly cooked,
the larval Infesting them will be rendered
harmless, and they may be delicate eat
ing, better than their cousins, the clanur
and oysters. Ed.

FURTHER DOWNWARD PRES
SURE IN STOCK MARKET. -
United States Steel Preferred Leader
yof the Decline Depressing Ef
fect of Foreign Crisis.
NEW YORK, July 27. There was further
downward pressure of speculative liquidation
in stocks today, and the bears also pounded
the market with Increased confidence. Their
raids upon prices were successful in uncover
ing loss orders on a considerable scale. The
fact was thus demonstrated that large specu
lative holders are in a vulnerable position and
capable of being dislodged by declining prices.
The sentimental effect of the decllno was in
Itself strong, and the eagerness professed
among a certain class of speculators to buy
stocks at a reaction from the recent high level
did not hold In face of the falling prices.
The action of United States Steel Preferred
was watched with special Interest, and Its
leadership of. the decline was a material fac
tor in deciding the tone of the market. The
first 500 shares sold above last night's price,
but an Immediate decline followed, and was
unretrleved. This pointed to the fact that Its
weakness was not duo to mere short selling,
and was probably not due to any credence In
the rumors of a reduction of the preferred
dividend, since the maintenance of the divi
dend brought no rebuying from sellers of yes
terday. Speculative opinion was Inclined to
assume that yesterday's selling was realizing,
and the offerings today were belirved to be ot
the same character, as the dUidend action
and the amount of the net earnings were so
closely In conformity with tho published Inti
mations. With the doubts over the dividend
the past quarter dissolved, a new doubt Imme
diately sprang up as to the dividend for the
current quarter. The record low level of un
filled orders on hand reported by the directors,
and tho recognized fact that the third quarter
of the year Is nominally the smallest in the
steel business, gave rise to the skeptical atti
tude toward stocks adopted In the day's trad
ing. . The grave condition In the relations between
the Russian and British governments depressed
MirlHii in London and Paris, and this was
an indutni-, on our own market. The first 1
direct effect on trade was looked for In the
London exchange market, which continued to
irt tmnr leading to exDectatlons of an im
mediate outward movement of gold. A gold
export movement Is Invariably adverse to the
stock market. The excessive accumulation ot
reserves in New York banks at present does
not mltigato the usual effect upon speculative
sentiment. A good deal of attention was given
also to the possibility of an Issue being raised
between the United States and the Russian
governments, should the Vladivostok squadron
encounter any of the merchantmen In tho Pa
cific under the American flag. Reports of set
backs to the crops gained additional currency
with the progrcsj of the decline in stocks.
PrTces closed at the lowest with a weak tone.
Bonds were easy. Total sales, $2,410,000.
United States registered 3s and the new 4s
declined M per cent on call.

BURST OF BULLISHNESS.
Chicago Wheat Market Strong and Ad
vancing. CHICAGO, July 27. Under the stimulus of a
fresh burst of bulllsbnens at Liverpool and
the unsettled conditions of the European polit
ical situation, the wheat market here opened
etrong, Initial quotations on September being
up c to c, at 8S80c. From the
start there was an active demand. A sharp
decline in consols, owing to the grave aspect
of affairs between England and Russia, caused
very strong wheat markets abroad, and In con
sequence foreigners were good buyers here.
There was also a better export demand for
wheat and flour. Complaints of rust were quite
general. On the whole, the bulls had every
thing their own way, and there was no selling
of Importance except by longs, who took
profits. Prlcen at one time reached yesterday's
closing figures on realizing sales, September
selling off to 8S8Sc. The high point on
September was reached at 00c. A slight reac
tion occurred Just before the clcse, final fig
ures on September being at 8080c.
As a result of the strength ot wheat, a firm
feeling prevailed In the corn pit. September
closed at 40c.
Oats were strong. September closed un
changed. The provision market was lifeless. Septem
ber pork and ribs were each up 2c, and lard
closed unchanged.
The leading futures ranged as folows:

WHEAT MARKET EXClfED
JUMP IN SPOT AND FUTURES AT
SAN FRANCISCO."
Weather Bureau Reports Unsatisfac
tory Yields in Nearly Ail
Parts of the State.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 27. (Special.) A
-cent jump in spot wheat and a rlso of 2
cents in December was the feature of the
local grain trade. December closed easier.
The advance was caused by the excitement In
Eastern markets over possible foreign compli
cations and bullish reports from the Interior
of California, where millers are buying freely.
The Weather Bureau says the "grain harvest
continues with generally unsatisfactory results
In nearly all parts of the state. Wheat, oats
and barley are far below the average In yield
and quality, possibly excepting a portion of
the Southern coast districts." Barley and oats
were slightly firmer, but trade was quiet, as
usual. Just before collection day. Flour was
firm. In sympathy with wheat. Feed was
slightly higher. Hay was weak. Mustard
seed advanced on account of the short crop.
Summer fruits were fairly active. Bartlett
pears were firmer on large buying by canners.
Apricots were less active and easier. Peaches
were weak on heavy receipts.. Gravensteln
apples are in better condition and steadier.
Potatoes sold lower, but cleaned up well.
Yellow onions declined sharply. The tomato
market Is badly glutted and weak.
Hops are quiet, but steady. In the Sacra
mento Valley the hot weather has benefited
the crop, which Is In good condition, and will
yield well. In tho coast and Bar counties
hops are growing rapidly, and will yield about
the average.
Dairy products were weak. Receipts, 105.000
pounds butter, 12,000 pounds cheeee, 43,000
dosen eggs.
