MORNING OKEGONIAX, TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 1915. THE . - ; ' ' . l " SELLERS ARE FEW Lower Wheat Prices Bring Out Light Offerings.' MARKET ON EXPORT BASIS Bayers' Efforts to Tick Up Bargains 'ot s Successful as Tlicy An ticipated Flour Quotations May Be Bowcrcd. Testei-days local ncat market was an unsatisfactory affair. Prices were handi capped at the start by the break at Chl eafo. due to the tishtenlne of export llocksde. Buyers In this market evidently thought they had sellers at their mercy, but this did not prove to be entirely the case. Jiids were sharply reouced. In some cases brim 1 and 17 cents under the prices offered Saturday, but sellers made no such concessions. Where actual transactions were closed, the declines were only 5 to 7 cents, and asklnc prices, as a rule, averaged only 4 cents under those of last week. There was a steady export demand on the market and buying- was not done as easily, perhaps, as the purchasers anticipated. The uansactlons in detail were: Busnels l.ooo May blucstem 0.o.n liny fortyfold J.ooO April club iiiiml lav Pttnaian ........... ...11.37 ... 1.S7 ... . . . I.o0 The blutstem sale noted above was 7 cents under Saturdays price. May forty-fold sold cents lower, club 5 rents lower and red Russian was down 0 cents. There is no reason for wheat selling cheaper than the present prices, as the market la on to export basis and Europe still wants grain. There is a scarcity of tonnage just now, but stilus will be coming along later, and but little wheat is finding Its way out of the Interior. Tbe oats market Is holding fairly steady, but there is no demand for barley and it is ""he patent flour market Is also' weak and local quotations are likely to decline In the near future. The cut in prices may be mO centB or even-40 cents a barrel. Local receipts.

There was a good Inquiry yesterday on the market for spot hops and a big re duction coulr be made In the small avail able supply, but holders decline to eel! at going prices. Contracts are also wanted. kut few can be bad. California reports told of the sale of 200 bales of the Okl crop of Sacramento to Lhlmann at 10'i cent, and the purchase by Marks of 575 bales of Tehama at OVi rents. The Walervllle Hop Reporter says ef the Jiew York market: We can learn of but one sale since ur last repoiV that of Patrick Ryder's I'j of TO bales. The price Is not given, but Is understood to be about In line with other reoent sales. The market As lifeless, no Interest ap parently being taken on either aide and tho little spurts of activity shown from week to week are but of short duration. "1H understood locally that several grow ers are contemplating plowing up their liops this Sprif. or at least, a considerable part of their acreage. Opinion seems to be divided as to tho wisdom of this action, however, and It is possible when the time comes that the total acreage will be re duced but little.'' J-OREIGN CROP CONDITIONS NOT GOOD Y rather Is Unfavorable In Most Parts of Europe. Foreign crop conditions are summarized br Broomhall it follows: United Klngiotn Rains hindering farm Trora and preventing wheat sowing. This Is causing apprehension as to acreage, and many are estimating an acreage only equal to that of last year. Conditions very un favorable on bottom lends. France The agricultural outlook Is only fair. The government has released terri torials to assist In sowing and threshing. JSatlve supplies are more liberal. The acre age planted will be short and the yield light. Germany Crop accounts are good and a lull acreage Is expected. " Austria The government is taking steps to plant a large acreage to Spring grain. Hungary Seeding is as yet on a very small scale. Weather unfavorable. Russia Snow cover holds except In the extreme south. Prices of wheat and oats advancing. All grain la stagnant, with very little moving. Australia. Weather unfavorable. Our agent estimates the Imports at 1. 730.000 bushels. Argentina Rains have checked the move ment of wheat and oats. Prices are firm, with shipping difficult. Estimates of til a exportable surplus of wheat and oats are being further reduced. India Wheat offers are increasing and cheaper. Itsly Continuous rains In the center are very damaging to wheat. Imports con tinue unabated.' Spaln The weather Is fairly seasonable, out dryness Is reported over a wide area. Shipping; Trade In Prodnra Large.
