iOUTH BUYING FEED
Local Market for Millstuffs Is
Firmer.
Fkigher PRICES EXPECTED
fjio Surplus Is
l Owing to tlx
Probable This Fall,
the Reduced Volume
of Export Flour Trade.
Farmers Hold Wheat.
The local mill feed market Is eyhlbltlns
.considerable firmness and an early advance
prices Is existed. The present quota
tions are 111 on Dran and $23 on shorts.
There Is a pood California demand and large
Shipments are belnir made southward. San
Krancisco- wires yesterday quoted bran in
that market at 123.50 and shorts at $26.50
tfi 27. The California and the home demand
pre combining to keep local stocks In small
torn pass.
The export flour trade In the latter half
fcf the year promises to be lighter than
liFual and on this account there Is little
reason to expect the market will see a
s-urplus of mill feed. Anticipating these con
ditions, millers are holding millfeed more
firmly than they did last year.
S The patent flour market continues In an
unsettled state and a wide range of prices
Us quoted.
The volume of business reported in the
cal and country wheat markets was lim
ited. The demand was not specially active
nd farmers were slow sellers. For club
(wheat 77 and 7S cents were bid, figures
that were not attractive to sellers, but at
CO cents some business was put through..
Bluestem was bought at S1H cents.
A. Cohn. of the Northern Grain A Ware
house Company, who hue just returned from
p. trip through the Inland Empire, says the
farmers In that section are Inclined to hold
Jhelr wheat. They are encouraged In doing
this by the interior banks, which are well
Supplied with money and are freely lending
Jt to the farmers.
Weekly foreign wheat shipments were a
follows:

YAKIMA PEACHES AT HIGHER PRICES
fancy Lemons Are Now Worth 8.25 Box
Concord Gwpe Abundant.
That there Is still a good demand for
n.ht wa- shown by the firm prices paia
yesterday for Yakima Elbertas, a car of
which arrived. The quality was tne dbsi
) of the season and the peaches cleaned up
. quickly at 6T to 70 cents a box. This Is
) the last shipment of the season from
J Yakima.
The local lemon market, like others on
the Coast, has advanced sharply. Fancy
Sunk 1st lemons were quoted yesterday at
$5.25 a box. The cheapest good lemons
available cost a box. These are the
highest lemon prices that have prevailed
for a long time.
The receipts of Concord grapes were the
largest of the season. Sales most of the day
were made at 17 S cents, but late In the
Afternoon Concords wore offered at 1 Scents.
A fresh car of California Tokays, in lugs
end crates arrived and sold readily.
A car of sweet potatoes was received In
the forenoon. Five cars of bananas are
lue this morning. Thvy were reported in
transit In good condition.
PALES OF CAPE MOHAIR ARE LARGE
Only About a Thousand Hales Left Im
provement In England.
The Eastern mohair market is dull. Thero
ave been no prices yet established on the
new Fall TVxas clip, although receipts are
beginning to come in the 'ocai Texas coun
try markets, says the Boston Commercial
Bulletin.
Advices from England indicate a some
what improved condition there so far as
export demand is concerned, although spin
ners appear to have covered themselves
for Immediate requirements by direct Im
portations, so that dealers ar not yet find
ing the demand for their stocks that they
would like to see.
Only about a thousand baits are said to
be left at the Cape and there seems to be
likelihood that this will be taken In the
near future. At Constantinople it Is un
derstood that recent purchases have in
volved about a thousand bales for Brad
ford account.
BEST PRICE BIO FOR HOPS 18 CENTS
Deal en Buying to Replace Contracts That
Were Not of Right Quality.
Eighteen cents was the top price ofTered
fur hops In Oregon yesterday. The sale of
he Johnson Murphy lot at Salem to
T. A. Llvt'Siey Co. at 1! cents was re
ported, but the deal was put through a
number of days aijo.
Seavey & Johnson In the last tow- days
have bought between 4ut) and ."0O hales in
the Laurel, Banks and Hiltsboro sections.
They were all good hops and cost them 16
to IS cents.
Hop dealers. b.th local and Eastern, who
have previous tales to cover, are buying
now mainly to replace contracts thst did
not come up to the standard of quality.
Hot much business, aside from this charac
ter, has been done yet. It will be a week
brfore a representative line of Oregon sam
ples reaches London, and In the meantime
no export trade is looked for.

Prices Advance in Spite of the High
Call Loan Rate, Which Later Re
cedes Steel Scores Highest
Quotation of Year.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27. Regardless of the
monetary situation, which was sufficiently
tense to cause local banks to call more
loans, today's stock market manifested a
strong undertone- The movement at times
was narrow and irregular and the total
output was smaller than for several days.
Money on call opened at a fraction under
yesterday's Initial rata, but soon rose to
6 per cent. The rate eased in the after
noon, when the stock maxket recorded its
top prices under lead of United States
Steel, which scored its highest prices of
tna year on exceptionally largo offerings.
Other standard shares also were in demand.
The further rise in Steel and allied is
sues was generally attributed to trade
conditions, which show Increased activity
at ail leading centers of that industry.
Similar conditions prevail In the copper
craae.
Among the strong; and active railway
stocks was Canadian Pacific' In the final
hour Rock Island and the Gould group also
Decani e active at smart advances.
An unexpected Inflow of money from the
Interior promises to reduce the cash loss of
the local banks to an unusual figure.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value,
$2,600,000. United States Government bonds
were unchanged on call.

Business Is Expanding in All
Parts of Country.
DEVELOPMENT IS BROAD
Iron and Steel Output Break All
Previous Records ktonsumption
in Many Lines Is Xow in Ex
cess of Production;
NEW YORK, Sept. 27. R. Gi Dun &
Co.s weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say: -
Proof accumulat es on every hand of a
developing National prosperity, broad,
wholesome and auite independent of con
trovers! a! issues that usually breed uncer
tainty and hesitation. Many years have
oassed since there has been such unanira
ity of testimony as to the widening of
business activity. ' Evjn some of the lines
which have been lacsinir are now develop
ing the same progressive spirit which for
some time has existed in tne iron ana steex
industries, and is making that trade break
all previous records.
Consumption has not only overtaken pro
duction, but is rapidly pressing ahead of
It, and In some Important points scarcity
of facilities, scarcity of labor and scare ty
of transportation appear as the inevitable
accompaniment of an accumulating demand.
Copper production and consumption are
enormous.
The great Middle West Is experiencing all
the benefits of a high-crop year. The Pa
cific Northwest is rejoicing In a revival of
the lumber Industry. Building operations
continue active in many of- the large cities.
DISTRIBUTIVE TRADE IS LIVELY
Conditions, aa Regard Sales. Are Better
Than for Years Past.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27. Bradstreefs to
morrow will sa,y:
Buying in person, by mail order or
through the medium of road sales, main
tains activity in the various lines of dis
tributive trade. Shipments on orders pre
viously booked are going forward In volume
and one of the most significant features of
the general situation is the insistent call
for prompt delivery, which Indicates that
stocks do not lag superfluous on purveyors'
shelves. In a host of lines one hears the
expression that conditions as regards sales
are better than for years past. Withal, buy
ers are not making large forward commit
ments, probably fearing future political de
velopments, but within the week purchasing
of heavy . Winter goods became more ani
mated, a touch of frost In parts of the
West, Northwest and Southwest having been
the stimulating factor.
The shortage of cars is becoming more
noteworthy and some coal mines in the
West have been compelled temporarily to
cease operations until cars can be obtained.
Industrial operations are moving along at
a brisk rate. Steel plants are well sold
ahead and as a general rule no more orders
can be taken for delivery this year.
Business failures in the United States for
the week ending September 23 were 228,
against 279 last week.
Business failures in Canada for the week
number 23, which compares with 17 in the
previous week.
