IS FREER Wheat Exports Operate , in Country at Current Prices. LOCAL RECEIPTS GROWING Brewing1 Barley Purchases in In terior Are on Coast 15 as is of $25 to $25.50 Klour Trade Hin dered by Lack of Space. Although the local wheat market contin ues quiet, business is constantly passing: in the country and the prices paid Indicate, as steady tone to values. The market is de clared to be above the export parity, as based on current cargo and freight quota tions, but the buying;, may bo for account of cargoes sold and ships chartered earlier at more favorable rates. At any rate, buyers are picking up what lots growers re offer ing, and heat Is arriving here in larger volume. Receipts to date are considerably smaller than last year's, but do not compare so tin favorably with those of preceding years. For the season to date, total arrivals at "North Pacific Coast ports aggregate 9,439,100 bushels. In the corresponding period last year receipts were 32,3."tfl.50O bushels, in the same period of the 1913 season they were 30.563.8UO bushels, In 1912 11,408,200 bushels, In 1911 9.C80.300 bushels. It is estimated that sales by farmers of the new crop up to this time will exceed 6,00,000 bushels. At the Merchants Exchange yesterday, white wheat for early delivery was un changed, but November bluestem bids were 2 cents lower end November club and forty fold to 1 cent higher than on Thursday. Red wheat bids were raised w. to 3 cents over those of the preceding day. The only sale posted was of -00 tons of October oats at $23-50. Barley bids ranged fram unchanged to $1 lower than the day before. According to country advices, brewing barley is bein bought In the interior in a limited way at $25 to $25.50. Coast basis. There is some inquiry for brewing barley for export ac count. The export flour market remains inactive, so far as new business Is concerned, because of the congested space conditions. The withdrawal of the Hill steamer Minnesota from the trans-Pacific route was a disap pointment to shippers. Sales of flour to the Orient to date are estimated at 15,000 to 37.000 tons for Ortober-November-Deceraber loading from North Coast ports, and all the apace is now filled. Interior mills partici pate in the business. Brads tracts reports exports this week of T. 730,000 bushels of wheat and 117,H,0 bushels of corn. Argentine shipments for the week are es timated at 48,000 bushels of wheat against 720,000 bushels last week and 160, 00) buan els last year. Corn shipments this week are 3,814.000 bushels and oats shipments 30,000 bushels. India's wheat shipments this week are estimated at 10,h00 bushels.

There was a report in the hop trade yes terday, said to be based on cable advices I received at San Francisco, that the Britisu ? government Is about to impose an import ) duty of 32 1-3 per cent on hops brought Into that country from abroad. The report occasioned no surprise. In view of the steps Great Britain is taking i to raise money in every possible way. V Should the news be true, the effect on the American market will be most un- favorable. There is no home demand now, and growers had hoped that English buy- 't Ing would soon start and thereby support ; the market. An English duty on hops j would, of course, check buying here, j Efforts have been made to interest I2ast- ) rn brewers and dealers in the new crop, but without success, the reply generally j being that ample stocks are on hand. Some !' of the Pacific Coast firms are offering to sell brewers hops at very low prices, deliv ered, and this helps to stifle the demand. Yesterday's wires reported the cancellation by a large Eastern brewer of a GOO-bale purchase of Oregon hops, and the settlement of tho transaction on a cash basis. There was no trading in the Oregon market during the day. Buying In the Yakima section was heavy, between 700 and SOO bales pping taken at 10 cents. BOSTOX WOOL STOCKS OT HEAVY Eastern Holdings lss Than Usual at This Time of Year. It is claimed that the Boston wool market is not overloaded with supplies, notwith standing that this la the time of year when holdings usually are heaviest. In fact, lead ing men in the trade state that less domestic wool is held now than ever before at this period, due to the fact that mills operated with more freedom in the West than had been their wont, and outside dealers were allowed to secure more than their usual quota of the clips in the primary markets. These supplies which have gone t'nrough. ether channels naturally have not come into competition with stocks held by Boston deal ers. It is difficult, therefore, to draw ad verse comparisons between this season and previous years. SMALL SHIPPING TRADE IN POTATOES Dealers Buying at 60 Cents to 65 Cents at Country Points. A moderate amount of business with the Southwest is being done by potato shippers, but they hold out no hopes of much activity In this line soon. They are buying potatoes on the basis of 30 cents to 55 cents at coun try pointa. The local jobbing trade is also quiet. There was a fair amount of business in the fruit district. Receipts were not heavy, but were adequate, and prices were gener ally unchanged. The first ear of Gros Cole man and Ladyf inger grapes is due from California today. Egg Market Is Very Firm. There were no changes In the egg or but ter markets yesterday. The former line was firm and the latter only about steady. Poultry supplies were again liberal and only on the best chickens, were the top prices obtainable. Dressed meats were quiet and Inclined to bo weak, especially pork. Bank CU-aringt.

ROAD ORDERS REPORTED LARGER Business Continues to Improve In Leading Lines. NEW YORK. Sept. 24. Bradatreets' to morrow will say: "Trade currents are running more freely than heretofore; remaining obstacles to progress are passing; growth is of the cu mulative type; sections somewhat pessimis tic awhile ago now are taking a brighter view of the future, and international politi cal and financial matters apparently havo assumed more pleasant aspects, although ne gotiations for the huge British-French loan have not been entirely completed as yet. "Forces that loom large in the week's expansion are higher prices for cotton and foreign orders for munitions of war. The first-named factor, coupled with that of profitable figures for the South's chief sta ple, has brought out larger orders for cotton goods, blankets, flannels, underwear and heavy Fall goods, while export trade keeps steel mills and machinery shops rushed to capacity. "Incidentally, road orders are larger, stocks being light at most points. Retail trade was dull In the early week due .o warm weather, and later was enlivened as the result of lower temperatures. Weekly bank clearings were $3,564,591,000. EASTERN WOOL BUYERS MARK TIME Prices Are Gradually Holding Steady at Boston. BOSTON. Sept. 24. The Commercial Bul letin will say tomorrow: Wool buyers have shown a disposition to mark time this week, and with the excep tion of one or two houses, the trade reports a very dull week. Overshadowing every thing else has been the uncertainty witn reference to how much cross-bred wool might be shipped to this country from Eng land and her colonies. Prices have not changed to any remarkable degree, although there Is a disposition to make a trading concession for the sake of doing business.

SPECIALTIES GO TO REAR Transportation lytnes Affected by More Favorable Business Condi tions Canadian Pacific I .ends in Advance Bonds Strong. NEW YORK, Sept. 24. Tho most impres sive and wholesome feature of today's mar ket was the broad, if somewhat -belated, de mand for Investment shares comprialnB the railroad group. These stocks featured the very active trading of the final hour, causing the more volatile specialties to fall back to a subordinate position. Buying of the railroad stocks coincided with reports that preliminaries connected with tho Anglo-Krench credit negotiations had reached a satisfactory working basis. It also was rumored that the Interstate Com merce Commission would soon announce a schedule of freignt rates more favorable to some of the "Western roads, but this received little credence. More likely, the rise had ta genesis In an increasing belief that the leading transportation companies have "turned the corner" and that they must in evitably participate in large measure with the greater'ctlvlty at important industrial centers, as well as in the forthcoming crop movement. Virtually all classes of railways figured 'in the advance, but greatest strength was shown by Canadian Pacific, which rose 4 V4 points to 163. and the other Faciflcs, as well as grangers, trunk line railroads and coalers. The Southern roads moved forward briskly, particularly Louisville & Nashville, which gained 2 points at 12114, and Southern Railway preferred up 1 4 points at 5. United States Steel's atrength was another encouraging factor, the stock advancing 1 H points to 78 on transactions aggregating 6S.500 shares. Early trading was limited mainly to Baldwin Locomotive, which rose 4 points to the new record of 94: Ten nessee Cojiper. whose rise of 4 points to 6Vi was based on the company's new financing; American Smelting, up 2V4 points at 87; Crucible Steel, which at its high of 07. came within a fraction of Its record; West Inghouse, American Car & Foundry, and Colorado Fuel, tho latter recording a further maximum gain of 1 14 points at B6H. Beth lehem Steel closed unchanged at ;34. but ths preferred went up 15 points to 183, a new record, which it retained at the close. Total ales amounted to 060.000 shares. Bonds wer'3 strong, with an appreciable increase of foreign offerings on the rise. Total Balos, par value, aggregated S.8S0.OOl. United States bonds were unchanged on call! CLOSIN'G STOCK QUOTATIONS.

RATE PROBE TO GO ON KLAMATH FALLS CITY ATTORNEY RBTIRKS FROM HEARING. Valuutlona by Engineers Reported Lower Than Made by Power Com pany In Nearly Every Case. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Sept. 24. (Special.) City Attorney Hollo C. Groesbeck has returned from Salem, where he attended the hearing before the Public Service Commission of the complaints of the cities of Klamath Falls, Medford and Grants Pass. In speaking: of the meeting. Mr. Groes beck declared: "The hearing at Salem was mainly concerning- the value' of the physical properties of the California-Oregon Power Company. In nearly every instance the engineers placed a lower value on the properties than had the company, and many thou sands of dollars of property were recommended for disallowance on the statutory ground that the properties were 'not in use or useful for the convenience of the public' "Klamath Falls power site Ko. 2 on the cast side of Link River in this city was in this classification. Inasmuch as the fixing of rates is largely de-pen-dent on the actual value and use fulness of the properties, the Commis sion carefully Ecrutiruzes the properties and values claimed by the company." Mr. Groesbeck reported that he had made formal request before the closing of the meeting for the taking of testi mony to supplement that taken at Salem, at which time citizens having complaints as to rates and service will have an opportunity to state them. Testimony will also be taken at that time further in the matter of the actual value of the real estate held by the company. Medford and Grants Pass were not represented at the meeting which means that they must have abandoned their cases.
