NO WHEAT SELLING
Farmers Withdraw From Mar
ket as Prices Decline.
FUTURE OUTLOOK VAGUE
Probability of Free Canadian Grain
Unsettles Values in East and
- May Cause Material Ixw
ering of Bids Here.
There is much speculation in the .train
trad as to the probable effect of the ree
entry of Canadian wheat in this country.
That it would lower prices in the Middle
'West la unquestioned, .but whether even
drop in prices here would start farmers in
the Pacific Northwest to selling- remains to
be seen. So far this season, contrary to
their usual tactics, the growers have only
shown a willingness to sell when nrlces were
Advancing, and to secure needed supplies
buyers have been forced to raise their bids.
Now. with the market weak and tending
lower, the selling- has ceased. As freights
are at an excewslve figure exporters declare
they cannot operate, except with cheaper
wheat. Aa this Is not available, business
has practically come to a stop.
That free Canadian wheat is not an im
possibility was shown by the abatement
wired from Chicago yesterday that two-
thirds of the Canadian Cabinet was in favor
of removing? the duty. There has been strong
presKure from Dominion farmers to bring
about thla action. The purpose -of remov
ing the duty on American wheat is to take
advantage of the Underwood act and secure
the free entrance of Canadian grain to the
American market.
- It is estimated that fully 5,000,000 bushels
ef Canadian wheat have thus far been
taken by American mills, duty paid. This
means that, quality for quality, Canadian
growers are selling their wheat at a discount
lightly in excess of 10 cents per bushel
under American wheat, so that they can
pay the duty and underbid American sellers.
Estimate of the Canadian surplus run as
h igh as 250,000,000 bushels. Canada ex
ported laet year up to July 1, 1013, 05,000,000
bushels, and the crop this year is officially
estimated to be 117,000,000 bushels larger
than last year.
At tho Merchants Exchange yesterday no
disposition was shown by buyers or sellers
to transact business in wheat. Bid prices
varied from 1 cent down tol cent up on the
near deliveries, while December wheat
ranged from 1 to 3 cents higher than on
Tuesday.
One hundred tons of November oats
changed hands at $24.50, indicating an easier
market. Brewing barley bids were un
changed, and offers for feed grade were
reduced 50 cents.
Terminal reecipts, in cars, were reported
by the Merchants' Exchange as follows:

2 LINES TO TRANSFER
CLACKAMAS ROAD AND PORTIAS D
COMPANY EXCHANGE FARES.
Internrban Cars to Carry Passengers to
Willamette Valley Southern '
Depot for 5 Cents.
OREGON CITY, Or., Oct. 27. (Spe
cial.) Transfer exchange between tho
Portland Railway. Light & Power Com
cany and the Willamette Valley
Southern was announced Tuesday by
Judse Grant B. - Dlmick. president o
the latter company.
Judge Dimtck said that arrangements
between the Portland Railway, Llgii
& Power Company and Ills company
had not been completed, but it was
probable that upon payment of 5 cents
& passenger on the power company
line between the Willamette Valley
Southern (station and Canemah couli
secure a transfer to the Dimick road.
Likewise, a passenger on the Willam
ette Valley Southern would receive
transfer to the Portland" Railway,
Licht & Power Company, which wou.d
carry bim to any point on Main street
south of Fifteenth, as -far as caneman
Transfers secured on the Portland -tea. 11
wav. Lisrht & Power Company's lln
will be accepted as 5 cents at the Wil
lamette Valley Southern ticket win
dow.
The Portland Railway, LJgrtat
Powor Company's lines make connec
tion with the Willamette valley &outn
ern. Transfers probably will be given
soon after the agreement between the
two transportation companies is signed.
Judge Dimick declared that the pro
posal that cars on ms line run up
Oresron City's business section over th
rails of the Portland Railways Light
&. Power Company was impractical, as
his cars would be forced to back up
the street, and the single track usually
is in use when his trains arrive.
Judsre Dimick said that his compan
had taken the matter up with the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany last March. A committee was
appointed from the Council by Mayc
Jones a week ago last Monday. Judge
uimlck addressed a letter to E.
Hackett. chairman of this , committee,
today, outlining the progress made.
Members of the Board of Trade have
also been interested.

or a half hour or more at the start it
was a struggle between the bulls and bears

the bears had almost entire control. Fore
casts of enlarged receipts In the Southwest
next week did a good deal to add to the
discouragement of" wheat bulls, and so also
did apparently unfounded rumors that Italy
had canceled the purchase of as much as
10.O00.UOO bushels. Something of a rally
