THE MORXIXG OREGONIAIf, FRIDAY, "31 AY 8, 1914. 21 BARLEY CROP LARGE Prospects Are Bright All Along Coast. YIELD 'ONE MILLION TONS With Carryover in Northwest and In California, Market Is Iepre&sed. "Wheat Weak to Steady Witli Smrfll Amount of Business. TV.t h barley crop prospects unusually bright all along the Coast and a consider able carry-over on hand, the market t naturally depressed. Buying has been small of late and only for immediate "requirements.- Local dealers quote feed barley at $-0, but aellers are a&ktng 3-1. There is no demand for brewing barley and the price 1 nominal. Unsold stocks in the Northwest are estimated as high as 3,000.000 bushels. California, it is believed,' will carry 50,090 to 0.f 00 tons Into the new-crop season, which is now close at hand. In the local trade, the coming orop in the Pacific Northwest is estimated at 10.000,000 to 12,000.000 bushels. Iast year's crop was about 12,000,000 bushels, that of 1912 IS, 000,000 bushels, and in 1911 12. 500.000 bush els wew produced. Estimates of the new California crop vary, but conservative deal ers place it at 750,000 to 800,000 tons. Some are talking a much higher figure, but prob ably for a purpose A special report on the American barley crop has been grsued by the United States Brewera' Association, based upon Informa tion furnished by the council of grain ex changes, the Middle West Crop Bureau and other organizations as follows: "Barley crop prospects are all good. On account of the favorable and late Fall weather there was ah unusual increase in Fall plowing over previous years. The Win ter was miUl, with fair amount of snow, which thawed off gradually and the moisture went Into the soli. The soil throughout the Middle "West and Northwestern States, es pecially Iowa. Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota," is Jn fine condition. Seeding Is quite general, and It is probable that the barley acreage will bo increased. In Wisconsin Professor R. A. Moore writes that practically 80 per cent of the barley sown this year will be the Pedigreed Oder brucker. In Minnesota the predominating variety will be a strain of the Manchuria, although the Oderbruckcr is widely grown. In North Dakota the Manctfuria and Oder brucker are about equally divided, with a scattering of other varieties. In South Da kota and Iowa the condition is more mixed than in any of the other states. Reports from the Pacific Coast States are particu larly propitious. California expects to raise 750,000 tons of barley and Oregon and Washington 300,000 tons. There is still a good deal of the 1913 crop of barley on hand In these states." f he local wheat market was fairly steady. Dealers generally found it necessary to make some concessions to sell, but buying Jn the country cannot be done cheaper. California is in the market at about the same prices as the past two weeks. Local receipts in cars were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hav Monaay Tuesday Wednt sday. . Thursday. . .

GOOD BERRIES IN STRONG DEMAND Bent .Slock Cleans Vp at Firm Oranges Will Advance. Prices The strawberry market was well sup plied yesterday, and there was a brisk de mand for good berries, but much poor stock was offered. Half a car of Alameda berries was received and they cleaned up at $2.15 2.25. Another half car of these berries will arrive today. Receipts of Fiorina were the heaviest of the season. Dollars from that place sold at $1.50&1.75 and Jessies at $1 f'1.25. A car of Fresnos was received and showed the effects of the lateness of the season in the Fresno district. Southern j Oregon berries were In moderate supply and sola at $2 to $3. The orange market is still advancing In the South. Next week local prices will be advanced to $3.25. Vegetable receipts were small, the only arrival from the South being a car of let tuce. A car of new root vegetables In sacks will arrive from Sacramento today. Carrots and turnips will sell at $1.50 and beets at 11.75. Onions were well cleaned up. A car each of crystal wax and yellow onions will be on hand Saturday morning. REACTION IN Fl'Tt'RE PRUNE MARKET Buyers Not Mo Ready to Pay High Prices for New California Crop. The market for Northwestern prunes re mains firm and 'unchanged, but there is an e:isl?r feeling in California futures. A mail report from New York says: "According to several telegrams from Coast packers, the reaction which buyers generally expected in the recent rapid ad vance In futures has come. There were re ported offerings from several quarters on a 5c f. o. b. bulk basis for 40s to Os In equal quantities for first half of October shipment Some local authorities expressed doubt that these lower offerings were made in good faith, and intimated that they were put out with a view to affeat prices on resales, which packers who sold early around a 5Vic f. o. b. bulk basis have been active in buying up since reports of crop conditions became so pronouncedly unfavor able. Buyers here who had begun , to take stock In the bullish reports from the Coast and have placed orders for a few cars for early October shipment within a day or two on a 6c basis for the three sizes, are again withholding Interest, awaiting further de velopments on the Coast. MIUK.sk PRICES ARE AU.AVN REDUCED Mutter Holding Steady and May Go 'o I.owrr Advance in Eggv. A very weak feeling prevails in the cheese market. Prices were cut sharply yesterday and are expected to go lower. Production is increasing, and there has been some ac cumulation at Coast points. Butter is steady. It is the general belief that prices have touched bottom for this season. Some storing is .being done, but not nuich as yet" as speculators are hoping for cubos to get down to a 20-cent basis. nnmermn are or tne opinion that thi wli! not occur. r.ggs were nrm with 20 cents quoted on current receipts, am 21 cents asked for candied. Receipts have fallen below re quirements, and prices are --likely to move upnara rrom now on without interruption. Podltry was weak and hens dragged at 18 cents, rollers were slow at 2527 cents. u,W8ru mean were Blow. Veal was weak at ine preceding day's prices. , Sutrar Tending Upward. The sugar market Is strong in all parts 1,1 tn country. There was a seven-point advance in raws at New York yesterday. Higher prices on all grades of refined are looked for in the near future.

Well-grounded notions that the Government crop report might turn out more bearish than had recently been looked for hindered today any decided ad vance in wheat Th Washington figures, however, indicating a harvest of 2(M(W.OuO bushels more than trade estimates, came too lute to have a direct effect on the market A few minutes beforehand prices had closed easy, He off to a like advance compared with last night. Corn showed a net de cline of h to 4fe, oats were c down to up and provisions at I to 2."c loss. Adverse weather conditions Northwest, threatening to delay still further the prog ress of seeding, carried the opening wheat market upgrade. The fact that a large consignment of wheat unloading here from Duluth was turning out to be of a quality not deliverable-on Chicago contracts formed an additional help to the bulls. European buying of futures here and a good export demand at New Tork for near by shipments had a strengthening effect, but fear of a bearish crop report from Washing ton hindered an advance. Although corn at first showed some firm ness on account of early reports of unsettled cond itions in Argentina, the market after ward weakened. Oats followed corn. Elevator concerns bought May and sold July; speculators did the reverse. Selling by packers more than overcame an early advance in provisions. It was said that as soon as farmers hid completed their field work hog receipts, would be greatly en larged, v The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.
