OUTS TRADE LARGER
Rumors of Export
on Market.
Inquiry
SPECULATIOIMJS POSSIBLE
Six Hundred Tons Sold at Mer
chants Exchange, First Board
Transaction in Cereal This
BXonth Wheat Trices Sag.
The attention of the local grain trade
yesterday was turned to the oats market
by reason of several sales that were posted
at the Merchants Exchange. The -wheat
bucineex put through indicated a further de
cline la values. Board sales posted were as
follows:
60OO bushels November forty-fold. $ .99
ion tons November oats............. 24.75
400 tons December oau 25.00
100 tons December oats 6.25
The oats sales were the first that have
occurred at the exchange this month. The
prices paid were about the same as those
bid at th preceding: session. The buying
was done by exporters and it was rumored
there was export inquiry for oats on ths
market. Thla was questioned In other quar
ters, where It was asserted the buying was
speculative, and it was further pointed out
that If oats could not be shipped foreign
when freights were around 80s or 90s, the
process would be more difficult now when
ocean freights are quoted at 120s or 125s.
Oats sales at the present market were
held to be justified by th reduced local
consumption. The feeding demand is
about 40 per cent less than last year, judg
ing from the arrivals at tidewater, which
for the first three months of the season have
been 15,000 tons less than in the corre
sponding period last year.
Whether the buying is for speculation or
for foreign business that Is being ejuietly
worked, the course of the oats market in the
next few weeks will be interesting.
November forty-fold sold 2 cents under
Thursday's bid price, and offers for spot
and December delivery were 3 cents lower.
Club bids were also reduced 2 to 3 cent,
and there was the same decline throughout
the remainder of the list. Prices ana now
averaging about 4 cents lower than at
the opening of the week. With the stiff
advance in ocean freights, in the opinion of
grain men, a further decline in Northwest
ern wheat prices la due, as grain markets
on the other side are not keeping pace
with the freight advance. The present cargo
q uotution in about 5Ss.
Th-a casing up of the wheat market has
put a stop to talk of further advances In
pa tent flours. Export flour trade prospects
are not flattering, as the high freights to
Kurope destroy any margin of profit there
mlKht be in tha business. Some South
American trade is und-ar way, but the clos
ing ) f the canal has also made tonnage
i-'arce and higher for that quarter, as there
a iv but few steamers on this side.
Uradstreet's esiimated wheat and flour ex
ports this week at equal to 11,600,000 bush
els. New York reported an embargo on grain,
as storage space is all filled.

HIGH rRICES FOR ONION SEED
Big Advance Since Last Government Pur
chase for Distribution.
The Office of Seed Distribution, United
States Department of Agriculture, reports
the purchase of onion seed in February, 1916,
at it 9 cents per pound. Wholesale quotations
at present axe from 90 cents to $1 a pound,
which would indicate prices from $2 to 93.50
per pound for selected 3trains of seed.
The American Consul at Teuerlffe. Canary
Islands, reports on the onion seed crop, in
part, as follows:
"Orders are large, and all dealers report
im-reaslug prices and a strong market under
tone, due to buying orders of unusual sire,
not only from the United States bua from
Cuba and Argentina. Much of the present
crop was grown under contract, and many
contractors have already sold their holdings
at a good profit, before the crop was ready
f o- delivery.
"With the outlook tending strongly toward
short supply there is a temptation among
some dealers to mix old seed with the new,
and detection until after actual sowing is
difficult. It Is therefore suggested that
American buyers deal enly with long-established
exporters of onion seed, who will
allow just claims.
GRADED EGG MARKET IS FIRM
But ins; Price of No. 8 Eggs Is Advanced

An advance of 3 cents to 30 cents in the

Fresh Rumors of Industrial Con

Pullman Car Wakes Up.
NEW TORK. Oct. 22. Further sensa

Issues, together with some irregular Im
provement in railways, were the chief fea
tures of today's active market. Trading was
most heavy in the forenoon, more than half
the day's business of 1,070,000 shares being
transacted in that period.
The usual number of new high prices
were recorded, Bethlehem Steel adding a
mere fraction to its recent beat by touch
ing 600, from which it reacted materially
later. Other new maximums included Beth
lehem Steel preferred, up 18 points, to 184;
General Motors, IO to 375; United States In
dustrial Alcohol, 7 to 127; Studebaker,
4 to 195; Wiilya-Overland, 3 to 265;
Maxwell Motors, Z to 70. and Central
Leather 2 to 59.
Baldwin Locomotive was the most Im
pressive feature of the afternoon, advancing
16 points to 149, within a fraction of
its record. The rise In this stock gave cur
rency to fresh rumors of an industrial con
solidation embracing that company with the
newly organized Midvale Steel Company and

properties. The two last-named were very
active and strong, while Midvale approx-

Klamath County Record Made From Selected
Hed Seed.

cial. It wa determined yesterday that
Jonn M. Thomas raised the h la best arade

WAR PRICES HIT STATE
EXPENSES OF WASHINGTON INSTI
TUTIONS INCREASE aH.,000-
Purchase of Supplies In 1914 Basis of
Klgrtirrs Shewing Added Costs
During Present Year.
OLYMPIA, Wash.. Oct. 22. (Special.)
Eighty-five thousand dollars is ap
proximately the coat to Washington
State Institutions thus far of the Euro
pean war, according to statistics pre
pared by the State Board of Control.
When maintenance contracts for six
months' supplies were awarded by the
Board of Control in September, 1914.
the highest prices in the history of the
state were paid. When the next semi
annual purchases were made in March,
1915. prices were reduced considerably,
but were' still above normal.
As a result expenditures during the
year ending September 30, 1915, for
maintenance of institutions totaled
$1,155,908, or $201.91 for each of 6720
inmates, the average population for the
year. The per capita cost of mainte
nance was $15 per inmate higher than
the figures for the previous bienniura;
which, applied to the average popula
tion, shows an added cost of $85,000,
leaving out of account the Increase due
to the greater number of inmates.
The September, 1915, semi-annual
purchases were made at approximately
normal prices, but this saving from
previous figures will be reflected in re
ports for the coming six months, in
stead of in the figures for the past
year. For the last year the per capita
cost of maintenance was greater-than
for the preceding biennium at all in
stitutions except two, the soldiers' and
veterans' homes, which had on hand
considerable stocks of supplies from
the previous year.
SALEM FACES WATER SUIT
Corporation to Seek Collection of
Disputed Hydrant Charges.
SALEM. Or.. Oct- 22. (Special.)
Suit will be filed within the next few
days in the United States District
Court in Portland by the Salem Water.
Light & Power Company against the
City of Salem to recover $5103.38. al
leged due for water furnished the city
for fire hydrants since October 1. 1913.
The amount alleged due is the differ
ence between the rate fixed by the
State Public Bervice Commission and
that prescribed by municipal ordinance.
The ordinance rate is L83 a hyrant.
while the Public Service Commission
established the rate at $2.50 a hyrant
in a ruling- made in Augrust. 1914. The
city has maintained that the Council
has the power to fix the rate for water
rather than the Public Service Commission.
SEWER BIDS ARE REJECTED
Mistake in Lowest Tender Causes AH
to Be Thrown Out. .
Irregularities in one of the bids sub
mitted for the construction of the
Hall-street sewer outfall caused the
Council yesterday to reject all bids
for the work. The rejection came
after J. P. O'Neil. contractor, declared
that toe Irregularity in his offer was
due to a mistake in extending his fig
ures, wnen properly extended his bid
was not as low as that of WHllam
Lind.
Mr. Lind asked that the contract be
awarded on the ground that Mr. O'Neil
could not change his bid. The Council
decided that It would be best to settle
the argument by rejecting all bids and
readvertlsing. Both contractors went
out of the Council chamber determined
to cut bids to bedrock and win the
contract;
