EQUAL LAST YEAR'S TESTS Camples Adopted Here Will Be Dis tributed Among World's Mar kets, Where Portland Rating; Is Officially Keoognized. The grain standard committee of the Cha mber of Commerce, of which M. H. Houser Is chairman, completed its work of establish Ing standards for the 1015 crop at s well-attended meeting at the Merchants Exchange yesterday afternoon.

The standards have been filed with the Chamber of Commerce, and samples will be forwarded at once to the London and 1 .1 verpool Corn Trade Associations and to t he iSati Francisco Chamber of Commerce. The Portland standards for the Northwest ern crop are accepted in all the markets f the world. WHEAT PKICES .xMK HOLDING STEADY Moderate Amount of Trade Fa&blng in Country Markets. A moderate amount of wheat-buying was reported In the country yesterday at steady prices, but the local market was quiet. At " the Merchants' Exchange .bid prices varied from half a cent lower to a cent higher than Monday. Local barley bids were unchanged. The market was firm ln:re and in the interior. Country purchases of barley were made on the Coast basis of $L'5 for feed and for brewing grade. Oats bids were also un changed. Two hundred tons of October bran were sold on the Exchange at $li'J a ton. Bradstrects estimate the visible wheat increase at S.uOO.OUU bushels and the corn Increase at li'J.'l,000 bushels. Europe v.-ill need & largo quantity ol American wheat for mixing, according to Broomhall, as crop prospects are poor, ex cept in Russia and the Balkans. In his weekly international review ho says: "The trend of events generally, during the past week, have served to strengthen the belief that very liberal supplies are in evi dence for future requirements. "At present arrivals are light and native mheat is moving slowly, with quality fair And firmly held. The advance In freights and the strong situation surrounding these, together with the unstable position of Uterling exchange, has increased the diffi culty in business. "The recent official estimate of the Ca nadian crop has attracted much attention here, and It is the belief that Canadian wheat will come forward freely and re main at prices jstisfactory to buyers. The Australian crop is in no way assured, but the recent rainfall was liberal and the position Is unusually favorable and har vesting should commence the middle of November, "Small shipments to the 'United Kingdom b sve had a tendency to maintain values higher than is consistent with ideals of mer rhants, but supplies in October will become increasingly larger and native deliveries Fhnuht be plentiful. "tint side of the Ttalkan States and Russia, crep prospects are not being fully realized as shown by threshing results, and much imported wheat will be needed for mixing. The Balkan surplus Is largely being shipped overland, while Russian prospects are still most uncertain. Italy's big takings recently served to confirm their disappointing yield And recent government estimates are doubted. "Preponderating influence in the Imme diate and near future centers with North America, which promises to be the only exporter." Terminal receipts.

TRADE LARGEST OF YEAR Kailroad Shares Also Advance, but Profit-Taking Wipes Out Most of Gains Bond Market Is Very Active and Strong. NEW YORK, Sept. 2S. In its speculative aspects, mosi; other considerations being lacking, today's market covered what has come to be regarded as familiar ground. Specialties, mainly those deriving profits from war contracts, ascended to higher lev els, a few scoring extraordinary gains, only to lose them In large part witb startling rapidity. Trading was on a larger and broader scale than yesterday's memorable session, and with the difference that certain old or dor mant stocks vied at times with those of recent prominence for supremacy. Advices from Chicago, pointing to an early announce ment of the terms of the Anglo-French credit, gave added strength to the list. In the final dealings, however, the weight of Increased offerings overcome the market's digestive powers, and many large gains were reduced, while others were changed to mod erate losses. Railroads were again under intermittent restraint, some leading issues being lower by one or two points. Improvement In this part of the list was quite general later, but profit-taking proved effective to tho extent of wiping out most of the gains. Price movements became confusing to the point of f everishness toward the end. the closing being distinctly irregular. Total sales amounted to 1.6O0.0O0 shares, the larg est volume of business, according to avail able data, since the days immediately pre ceding the war, when the greater activity was at the expense of quoted values. Chief amonK the day's new records was Baldwin Locomotive, which at Its maximum of JOOH showed a gain of 3R?i, but closed at a net advance of U',i; General Motors up 13 to 375; Industrial Alcohol. 7 at 0s : Willis-Overland, 7 at 225; Studebaker. 4 :tfc at 146; Bethlehem Steel 3 at 360. and Pressed Steel Car 7 at 73. Colorado Fuel's sndoVn rise of almost i points at midday to 03 H . to the accompani ment of a moderate movement In Grea t Northern Ore, revived rumors of a "deal" Involving these and kindred concerns. United States Steel, with an overturn of 155,000 shaj-es. closed at 7$ i . a lapse of Bond trading was again very large, witrt general strength. Final disposal by the syndicate of the $45,0X.000 New York City bonds, purchased early In the year, offers proof of the bet ter investment demand. Tot a 1 sales of bonds, par value, aggregated $5,073,oo. United States bonds were un changed. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS Closing High. Low. bid. 32 32 32 4S; 44 '4 45 14 :.-. . 04 4 1:4 i 3 0:: 7o.

CHICAGO CLOSES STRONG Quiet Buying for 'Export Account. Liverpool tables Urgent Stilling ' Demand World's Avail able Surply Smaller. CHICAGO, Sept. 28. Wet weather, that put a stop to threshing In the Northwest, had a good deal to do w'.th bringing nbout an ad vance today In the wheat market here. Prices closed strong. 14&l?4c to 2c net higher, with December at C5HW05 H and May at 9S 14 i OS 4 c. The outcome In corn varied from ic decline to '.i4Cc gain, end in oats from c to M c up. Provisions fin ished the same as last night to 23c higher. Liverpool despatches, telling of an urgent milling demand, helped to bring to light tho fact that as much as 500,000 bushels of domestic wheat had been sold In the United States yesterday without the transaction re ceiving any publicity. In this connection. It was pointed out that export clearances today were larger than on the corresponding day last year, and that the increase In the world's available supply was only about a quarter as large as a year ago. Some frost damage and the fear of more tonight had a bullish Influence on corn. The September option, however, was compara tively weak as a result of month-end liqui dation. Oats were governed mainly by the action of corn. The weather was ill-adapted for threshing. Provisions advanced with hogs. The vol ume of business expanded, particularly as to eommisslon-bous'i buying of tho January de liveries. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Onen. Hiirh Low Close.

Council Had No It Ijih t to Chooiie HuMam and Prnent Competition. SALEM. Or.. Sept. 28. (Special.') In an opinion by Justice Harris, the supreme Court today held that an assessment levied for the improvement of Lombard street in Portland was in valid, because the Council by choosing llassam pavement had prevented com petition and violated the charter of 1'ortland. The decision was in the suit brouirht by Alfred O. Temple and others aKainst the City of Portland to restrain col lection of the assessment. It affirms Hie decision of Circuit Judge Morrow. In his written opinion, Judse Harris says: "The situation presented here one where the pavement laid wa designated by name and the kind named alone was made acceptable. There was no chance for competition because the riirht to lay the kind of pavement specified was exercised exclusively by the Orepon Hassam Pavins Company, which was the only bidder. If Hassam is a mere trade name the charter was infringed upon and the charter was likewise violated if Hassam is in fact protected by letters patent." DAILY MBTKOROI.OUICAI, RKPORT. PORTLAND.
