TRADING ON SMALL SCALE Growers In Pendleton and Walla Walla Districts Demand 70 Cents Xet Exporters An ticipate Lower Values. Nearly all the dealers are In the market for wheat, but not at the prlcee that grow ata ara asking. Farmers in the Pendleton and tvalla Walla districts are holding for 7) cents net, which Is more than millers or exporters can afford to pay. While some wheat has been bougnt at 70 and even at 71 cents to fill Jnly sales, buyers decline to psy these prices for later delivery. A cargo of white Walla Walla and ship ping bluestem wss sold yesterday at 35s d. which la equal to 8014 cents f. o. b. on SOs freights. On this showing. It Is evident that prices In Europe will have to Improve or the market quotations in this territory recede. Grain men declare they will not be able to to much business until this occurs. Local wheat prices are now on a level with Chicago and out of range with the Eu ropean consuming markets. The canal will not be open for commercial traffic prob ably until the first of the year, and lower freight rates cannot be expected in the meantime. The export flour business In sight Is small and no early California trade Is anticipated. For these reasons, and be cause of the liberal buying of American wheat that Europe has already done, grain men believe that prices must go to a lower level in the Northwest. In discussing the question of how much wheat has been sold for export, an Eastern grain authority writes: "Estimates vary greatly. Some of the large sales reported may be more psy chological than real. Clearances from the seaboard will tell the tale. One of the largest grain firms In the United States, which has the reputation of'knowlng every thing before it happens, hesitates about going on record as to the amount of ex port sales of wheat which have been made this season. It says: This Is too hard a cues for us to make. It is pretty big. but snybody guessing Is apt to be a great many millions off, and we do not even care to try If "Another large exporter who has the repu tation of doing the most via the Gulf ports riw-.-i the largest estimate. He says: 'It Is a very difficult question to answer, but If we were compelled to make a kucss we would feel like estimating the amount of wheat worked for export so far to be not far frjm 75.000.000 bushels. Both Chicago and the Gulf ports have worked very large quantities. "Another large Chicago firm, which ex ports freely, says: 'A rough estimate for Ju!. August and September would be 00 to 7.. millions. The amount of ocean freight and lake tonnage contracted clear into the four months has been on an enormous scale, but figures on the same aro Impossible to el.- " Portland dealers yesterday quoted clubat 7S cents track and red at 77 cents. It was declared there should be more than 1 cent difference between fife and club, aa there Is ni'trfc red than club wheat and less demand for it. Europe buys our white wheat to ml with red wheat from other countries, and 3-cent differential was suggested as nej'rer right. No trade of consequence was reported In the coarse grains. The demand for oats Is poor, but farmers arc holdiug for full prices In spfte of the good crop outlook. Not much apot hurley Is available. Local receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Kxrhange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Monday 8 I 2 4 Year ago 13 2 5 10 Season to date..

NEW YORK, July 20. Confusing reports regarding tne Eastern freight rate situation and a budget of unfavorable rumors from abroad contributed toward today's drooping stock market. Conditions abroad Indicated increased ten sion at ail prominent Continental points, particularly Berlin and Vienna. London's final prices for Americans were substan tially lower. In addition to the 15.000 shares sold here for London, direct sales for Amsterdam were also reported. Balti more & Ohio common and preferred de scended to new low levels. Heavy offer ings of both issues for future delivery at tested the persistency of the foreign liquida tion in thes.i shares. Erie and Wheeling .fc Lake Erie broke new low ground. Texas Company was the most prominent of the specialties, dropping five, points as a result of the suits against the company promised by on or more Houthwestem states. Anthracite shares were under pressure and St. Paul fell a point on tlie poor crop dis patches from its territory, with, similar heaviness in Canadian Pacific. Union Pa cific, minus Its extra dividend, was one of the few strong stocks, but fell back at tha close. Bonds were but slightly affected by the sagging tendency In stocks.

MARKET STRONG AT CLOSE Canad-iHii Crop Estimated at 75, O'OO.OOO Bitsliels Less Than Last Year Chicago Receipts Are Largest on Record. CHICAGO. July 20. Assertions that if un favorable weather was encountered in the Dakotas and Minnesota this week, the damage from black rust would be grave led to a decided rally today in the wheat market. Prices closed strong at o to ic net advance. Corn finished c to 0c up. and oats with a gain of c to c, but provisions unchanged to 13c down. . Wheat speculators at first were disposed to believe that the favorable conditions for maturing the Spring crop would outrun the danger of black rust. The bears also had in their favor the fact that receipts here from the new Winter crop amounted to a huge aggregate, 1S31 carloads, said to be tho largest total on record. In addition there was a big Increase of the domestic visible supply. Additional encouragement for the bulls came from estimates that the Canadian crop would prove 75.000,000 bushels less than last year. Uneasiness over a renewal of drouth com plaints from Missouri and Southern Bltnols carried the corn market upgrade. A big falling off in the visible supply counted also against the bears, and so. too. pessimistic re ports regarding the outlook for shipments from Argentina. Oats ranged higher, influenced mainly by the strength of corn. Although provisions opened firm in sym pathy with the hog market, a break In prices followed. Selling on the bulge was aid to be due to signs of more liberal ar rivals tomorrow at the yards. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.
