Bullish View of the World's Markets
Is Taken hy Beerbohm Esti
mates of American and
Foreign Crops.
Exporter were In the market for wheat
yesterday and making offers In the country
on the basis or 85 rents for club and U-i
cents for bluestem. Some business was re
ported done at these figures, but the amount
of wheat changing hands was small. The
prices offered were about 2 cents under
those of last wek. This decline was natur
ally not to the farmers- liking and they
simply turned down the oirers. Some who
refused WO and 94 cents for their club and
bluestem last week are now willing to sell
at those prices, tut cannot. While they
probably realize that they lost good pries
they are tot being frightened Into unload
ing now on the decline. As a class, the
Northwestern wheatgrowers are well able
to hold on until they get ready to sell, and
on the whole they are decidedly bullish
In their views.
Beerbohm. the great English wheat au
thority In the Corn Trade List of July 31
declares the world's wheat position to be a
strong one. He sayi:
The statistical position is. Indeed, aa
strong as It well could be. and null con
firms the opinions we expressed some three
months ago; for the last 13 weeks the aver
age shipments to Europe have been only
tto,00 quarters per week, the consequence
being that the quantity afloat for Europe
has decreased ..T0.n.0 quarters since the
beginning of AprlL. and Is now the smallest
since JSa7. Our pert stocks have also de
creased materially, and the returns from
August 1 will probably show a total of not
more than S.2SO.OOO quarters, against 3.OO0.
00 quarters last year. The most extra
ordinary feature, however. Is the combined
absence of Russian and Indian wheat, and
the obvious fact that Europe Is likely to be
dependent upon America and Canada for
the next six months for Its supplies, and
consequently for It lead as to future prices.
The world s visible supply on August 1 is
likely to be the smallest on record, with the
exception of the ers 1.iT and lSt8."
Beerbohm estimates the' wheat crop of
the world. In quantities of 40 pounds. COO

FIRM DEMAND
FOB FRESH EGG9
Good Inquiry for roultry Butter Move
Actively.
Receipts of eggs of all kinds yesterday
were 233 casea There was a good demand
for a strictly fresh article and sales of
extras were reported at 2d and 2T cents.
There la much complaint on Front street
because some handlers have Instituted the
system of grading eggs, but If this system
la good In all other large cities. It should
be good here. The consumer demands It
and In the end It will be the best thing
for the producer and shipper. It may
maka more work and lesa profit for the
middle man, but this will not stay the inno
vation. It is to be noted that the closest
grading la being dona by egg Jobbers who
are not located In the Front street produce
district, which would indicate a revolution
In the local egg trade. Only a few years
ago the butter business was . entirely con
trolled on Front street, but now it haa
largely passed Into the hands of the city
creamery men. and the egg trade may go
the same way unless modern methods ara
adopted In the old district.
The poultry market was firm yesterday,
with receipts moderate and the demand
good.
Butter was active) and Arm. Receipts
were S boxes.

Collapse of IVawson's Programme
Also Adversely Affects Entire
List Selling Is on Very
Heavy Scale.
NEW YORK. Aug. 14. There was a heavy
break In prices of etocks today and the volume
of the market, at the oame time, expanded
materially. Misgivings which have beea
gathering force for several days over the
evidence of excess In the movement for the
advance undermined speculative confidence
and made- it easier for the bears to topple
over prices. The bear element was aggres
sive and was credited with Influential leader
ship of a kind which haa been enlisted ex
clusively on the long side of tba market up
to very, recently.
There was no positive news development
to account for the reaction, but there were
some disquieting rumors regarding the finan
ces' of members of the Rock Island system.
Yesterday's outbreak In the Rock Island col
lateral fives, whloh were secured by St. Louis
ft San Francisco common stock, was followed
today by a slump in St. Louis 4 San Fran
cisco refunding fours and by wholesale un
loading of Rock Island common stock. As It
was announced yesterday that the Union Pa
cific portion of a $3,000,000 note now ma
turing had been extended for six months and
as the $7,000,000 note of the St. Louis ft
San Francisco due next does not mature
until December next, the direct course of the
demonstration against the securities waa not
clear. The inference was clear, however, of
dissatisfaction with the outlook on the part
of Influential holders of the securities. There
was some disposition to assume also that
the break in the securities signallxed a new
leadership for a bear campaign In the stock
market.
The collapse of the Boston speculator's pro
gramme was an unsettling influence on the
whole list. Stocks which had been most
widely heralded for an advance In the ad
vertising campaign were unloaded with un
concealed precipitation. It became evident
that the growing distrust of the market had
led to honeycombing it with stop loss orders
and this had the effect of Increasing the
rapidity of the fall when it had once set In
decisively. Imperative orders to sell very
large amounts of stock when the price should
reach a certain point on the decline made a
position very vulnerable for bear attacks.
Supporting orders which have been deter
mlnedly followed up for some time past, as
a part of the programme of protecting the
market, were withdrawn and prices were al
lowed to take their own course.
The opinion gains force that the rate of
improvement in the iron and steel trade has
bn overestimated. Copper price waa marked
down at the New York Metal Exchange to
day and copper warrants in London also de
clined. This caused an apprehension that
speculative manipulation has played a. part
In the recent rise in the metal, as well as
In the securities of companies concerned in
the Industry. Silver also dropped back to
a new low record for an Interval of five yeara,
being quoted at 614 cents In New York.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $2,472,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

Kaln Interferes With Harvesting In
Dakotas Strong Milling De
mand In Xorthivest.
CHICAGO. Aug. 14. After experiencing a
slight drop at the start, owing to the sel
ling brought out by the failure of the Liver
pool wheat market to respond to the ad
vance here yesterday, the local market raK
lied and continued Arm the remainder of ths
session. The upturn was due to reports that
raina were general last night throughout the
Dakotas, which will, It is expected, greatly
Interfere with harvesting. Active buying by
a leadtng bull, whose purchases yesterday
were largely the cause of the advance, added
fresh vigor to the bullish enthusiasm during
the last hour of trading and caused lively
covering by shorts. Strength at Northwestern
grain centers, which was said to have been
due to an active milling demand for cash
wheat, was an additional Incentive to buyers
here. The market closed strong, with prices
almost at the top. September opened Sc
lower at 92-33c. advanced to 94c and
closed at 94-S94c.
Corn closed weak.- September opened c
lower at 77 c, advanced to 77 c and closed

BUYERS OCT IV LARGE LUMBERS.
Gradual Improvement in ths Iron and Steel
and Allied Trades.
NEW York. Aug. 14. Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
Trade is of fair volume, crops have been
making further progress, corn especially be
ing helped by rains, and collections show
tangible " Improvement, though backward
ness Is still a subject of complaint here.
All advices agree that buyers are in the
various markets In large. If not record
numbers, but caution and coneerv-atlsm are
strongly' apparent and at some'eenters dis
appointment Is expressed at the volume of
business done so far in August.
Industrial reports are as favorable as for
some weeks past. There is still alow grad
ual Improvement In the Iron and steel and
allied trades, though pig Iron is lower this
week and as Southern lumber prices are
higher, there is talk or many mills being
again set in motion.
Still there are numerous reports of cur
tailed output, textile lines at one leading
center running to only 50 to 60 per cent.
Large auction sales of textile products
have been well attended and prices, while
naturally lower than In regular trade
channels, are fairly up to expectations.
The wool trade has a cheerful tone and
good Interest Is displayed by large and small
buyers. Spring lines are still being opened
and the outlook Is regarded as encourag
ing. Business failures In the United States for
the week ending August 13 number 249
against 205 last week, 146 in the like week
of 1907, and 143 in 1906. Canadian failures
for the same period number 31 against 19
last week and 30 In the corresponding week
of last year.
Wheat, Including flour, exports from the
United States and Canada for the week end
ing August 13, as reported by telegraph to
Bradstreets. aggregate 8,760.272 bushels
against 3,696.348 last week and 2.947.933
this week last year. For the seven -weeks

Cheese for Storage Eggs
Are Firmer.
SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 14. (Special.)
Agents of the express companies here deny
that they have made any advances in ex
press charges on fruits from the Yakima
Valley, except that shipments are billed at
actual weight this year, instead of under
weight, as heretofore. Yakima fruit, how
ever, has about disappeared from this mar
ket. Commission men are protesting against the
poor cantaloupes offering. Good stock easily
commands 44.50. There Is a very active
demand for the fruit now, but supplies are
light and the quality Is poor.
During July 274.000 packages of fruit and
vegetables were shipped to this market.
Dry weather at some Alaska points, par
ticularly in the Yukon Valley, Is causing a
slight falling off In orders from the North.
Eggs were firmer today, with a few sales
reported at 33 cents. Moet houses will make
that price nut week. Cheese is Arm. Job
bers are trying hard to buy Oregon cheese
for storage.
