'. Wheat prices in Europe continue to advance and the American markets are following the rise closely. Cables re ceived from London by exporters yes terday quoted Oregon cargoes of white Walla at 63 shillings. The advance since Saturday has been a full shilling. The Chicago market went up about 2 cents yesterday. These conditions had a natural ef fect on wheat prices in the Portland market The rise was general through out the list, though only 20.000 bushels were sold. Bluestem for February de livery brought $1.20 and February club sold at 1.27. Bid and asked prices for other futures and for prompt de livery were all higher. Prices here are not out of lines with those in Europe, as the export value cf club wheat yesterday was about $1.23, as based on the English mar ket and the ruling freight rates. On the exchange buyers offered $1.22 H for this variety and sellers asked 11.25. There is not much wheat left in the country, particularly In farmers' hands. It is not likely that a shortage will deveop, but the supplies may run close before the season Is over. Millers are carrying good stocks of flour, some of them sufficient to last until the new crop comes in, and a few of them are selling off their surplus stocks of wheat at the present high market. In the East the wheat situation is regarded as even stronger. ' Wheat now is going to Europe at the rate of 40,000,000 to 60,000,000 bushels a montbr and this pace cannot be kept up during the remainder of the- season without exhausting the American sup ply. As for the demand from Europe it is certain to keep up as long as the war lasts. CHICAGO WHEAT ADVANCES Tliree-Cent Rise in Hour .Marks Greatest Action of Month. CHICAGO, Dec. 22 (Special.) Greatest action of the month was re corded in wheat today. There was a break to $1.25 December and $1.26)4 Hay, and an advance of- 3 cents during the last hour to $1.26 and $1.24. The trade oversold on the early reports that the seaboard was reselling wheat. Soon after the bottom price was re corded a Chicago house sold 40 boat loads for export. Still later the sea board began talking of several million 'bushels for export in all positions. Near the close, when the market was at Its strongest, Chicago export houses confirmed sales of 2,000,000 bushels of wheat for export. Independent of Win nipeg, Gulf, seaboard and other quar ters. The trade had bullish reports fr3m the Northwest in regard JSa in adequate Spring wheat supplies to 'run to another harvest. The English cable news of the day was bullish. EX-PASTOR GIVES SELF UP i.
