Vice of Wheat in Northwest
Is Advanced.
TRADE ON LARGER SCALE
Jlecelpts Arc Double Those of This
Time Lust Year Higher Markets
lJt and Abroad Add -'to
Strength of Values Here.
A number of causes contributed to the
rise in wheat pricea in the Northwest yes
terday. Not the least Important was th-e
fact that farmers asked more money and
"would only well at advances. There was
some broadening of the demand, with buy
Ins; not only by exporters but by millers,
and Callforniana were also in the market.
There was marked improvement In the
Kast and cables were also higher. Chicago
prices sained over 3 cents, due to bis ex
port shipments from the Atlantic seaboard,
and reports of the cancellation of large pur
chases In the Balkans. The London cargo
maiket was higher with Bteamera probably
able to realize 66a 6d or 5?s.
Bids at the Merchants Exchange were ad
vanced all around. Prompt club offers were
raised 2 cents to r. 14 cents, and there was
a similar advance in November club to 4
rents. October forty-fold bids wore lifted
to' 971,5 cental and November to 97 cents,
niuestera prices were up 1 to 3 cents, with
ST cents offered for both deliveries and $1
or more asked. Throughout the list asked
Trirea were held well above bids and no sales
were closed at tho session, though outside
reports were of an active country market.
The rerent brisk buying Is Indicated by the
enlarged local arrivals. Receipts so far this
we;k have amounted to (33.100 bushels, as
against S17,nm bushels received In the same
period last year.
Bradstrcets estimates the visible wheat in
crease at S.67n,00O bushels, the corn increase
at J, 681.000 bushels, and the oats increase
.at 5 4 1,000 bushels.
A recent issue of 1-e Bulletin dea llalles,
Wourse et Marches, points out that the an
nual consumption of wbx-at In France aver
ages UO.OOO.OOO hectoliters (340,0:9,000
bunhelsi. and that this quantity is about
equivalent to the total average annual pro
duction of the whole of France in normal
times. It is estimated that the total pro
duction this year will represent a shortage
of approximately 2fi.O00.OOO hectoliters (70,
943. sn bushels), and that the crop of the
invaded aectlons, which must be deducted
from the available supply, win represent a
further ;0.00O.O0O hectoliters (06,754,800
bushels), whence it would appear that the
total available output will be approximately
7.1.000.000 hectoliters C12, 830,400 buchels).
If the large influx of Belgian rerusva be
taken Into account as partially offsetting
the decreased consumption attributed to the
fact that a portion of Franco is lnvadod,
it la estimated that the total consumption
win approximato 110.000,000 hectoliters
312.151.soo bushels) during what may ba
called the approaching agricultural year. It
'will, therefore, be necessary to Import about
Si, 000,000 hectoliters (99,321,000 bushels) of
wheat, representing a value of approxi
mately $130,000,000.

International Institute Figures o bhortage
In World This year.
The September number of the Bulletin of
Agricultural and Commercial Statistics, pub
lished by the International Institute of Ag
riculture, contains official Information on the
cereal harvest in the countries of the North
ern Hemisphere: Of wheat It says:
New important data for 1915, compared
with those in the August number, report the
crop in Roumania (CS.800.noo quintals or
254. 9 per cent of the 1914 harvest). In Can
ada (Sl.0i3.S91 quintals of Winter and
Spring wheat or 11.0 per cent of tho cor
respondent production of the preceding
year) and In ten governments of Russia In
Asia (39.149.299 quintals or 80.2 per cent of
the 1914 production). For the following coun
tries (Denmark, Spain, Great Britain and
Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, Motherland, Rou
mania. Russia In Europe. Switzerland, Can
ada. United Stales, India. Japan. Russia in
Asia. Tunis) the 1915 production amounts to
SH3.S1S.3G8 quintals of wheat, compared
with 63, 947.47)1 quintals in 1914 or 122.9
per cent f the latter production."
Summarizing, the following conclusions
are reached:
"The last world's production shews for all
the cereals a surplus over the quantities
accessary for consumption.
"The excesses will serve non-producing
countries which Import cereals and flour,
such as most of the tropical countries and
colonies.
"The report concludes, therefore, that con
sidering the stocks carried over to the cur
rent year, and excluding productions, which
may either supplement cereals or replace
them, the world as a whole lias available
a sufficient quantity of cereals to meet the
needs of consumption in general, on tba
basis of the average consumption of the last
five 3 ears."

Points of Its Ilecord Quotation.
Bond Market Is Strong.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13. Specialties re-
umed first ptace In speculative Importance
today, raila and other high-grade shares
falling behind, mainly as & result. It was
said, of extensive foreign selling. In fact
the market's professional tone was at de
cided variance with recent days, when the
treucth or seasoned stocks offered hope
of a-revival of interest from Investment
sources.
A majority of the better known railways
were 1 or 2 points lower. Reading again
showing greatest heaviness. That stock
atid the Pacifies, Kries and grangers were
offered for European account to the ex-
en t of 00,000 shares. According to gen
eral belief, these sales represented profit-
taking.
War shares were foremost in the rise of
the specialties, the Balkan situation evi
dently being regarded as a bullish Incident
tor tnat class or stocks. Bethlehem fcteel
rose 10 points to the new high record of
463, and Studebaker also broke all previ
ous records with a gain of 19 to 104. The
Maxwell . motor issues rose 3 to 4 points
above previous levels, chiefly on the de
cision of the directors to pay back divi
dends of 1414 PQr cent on the first pre
ferred stock. General Motors, Baldwin
locomotive and lckawanna steel, as well
as minor Industrial and allied issues, im
proved 2 to 4 points, with 4 points for
American Woolen at i4.
The market derived much of Its Im
petus from United States Steel, which ad
vanced li to S4, Its top quotation since
11HO, and within 11 points of its record
of 190W. when another great boom in the
steel industry was In full swing. Total
sales amounted to 1,25,000 shares, Steel
contributing 1CS.00O.
Among tiio market factors or the day
were the further reduction in Idle freight
cars, the highly favorable foreign trade
balance statement of the Department of
Commerce and advices from various sec
tions of the country pointing to betterment
in all lines of trade.
Quotations for foreign exchange were
virtually unchanged from Monday's low
points on nominal trading.
The bond market was strong, witn in
creased activity in copper convertibles at
higher prices. Total Bhares par value were
$5.1T0.0OO. Government bonds were un
changed on call.

CRESWELL CROP IS SHORT
Early I'rosta Said to Have Reduced
Yield l'ur.Tenths.
CRKSWELL, Or., Oct. 13. (Special.)
Six-tenths of a normal crop is the
estimate made by the prune-growers
in this section for the present season's
yield. The early frosts Injured the
blossoms and hindered fruit develops
ment from the start. Orchards on
i-mall hills in Lane County suffered less
than those on the level territory. Three
fourths of a normal record is shown
in the extreme hilly districts, while
other localities ran as low as one-third
of an average crop.
Growers experienced no difficulty
with pests this year, and claim that, as
the trees grow older, there is less ten
dency for this kind of trouble.
