THE MORNING OREGONIAIf, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, , 1916. 19 FLOUR PRICE IS GUT Twenty-Cent Reduction jn All Grades Announced. WHEAT DECLINE FOLLOWED Grain 'Market Weak AVith Xo Buy ( in at Country Foluts or locally Xo Improvement 1 Yet in Car Situation. A decline of -0 cents a barrel In domestic and export flour prices was announced yes terday. The lower quotations were ex pected In view of the drop of. 10 to 12 cents a bushel in wheat prices this month. The new quotation on patent flours is $5.40 per barrel. Millfeed prices are unchanged. The wheat market was a, decidedly weak affair. The slump or 6 to nearly cents at Chicago, although looked upon as only temporary and likely to be recovered today, had. nevertheless, a depressing effect. The Northwest is now practically isolated from the Kant, otherwise a sharper reduction In the market here would have occurred. The car situation is no better, and it looks as If much high-priced wheat, bought for ship ment this month, will be thrown back on the market. country quotations were announced, but at the Merchants Exchange bids for prompt doiivcry were lowered 2 to 4 cents. The only exception to tlve general decline was in April bluestem, where a limited de mand put the offered price 2 cents higher than Wednesday. j Any fear of Canadian wheat coins- '. -ported duty free into this country was dispelled by the rejection by the Canadian 7'arliamcnt yesterday of the proposal to al low the free admission of United States wheat Into Canada. The world's vlsiblo wheat supply Is placed at ::4.951.0uO bushels, against 169.09,000 bushels a year ago. Argentine shipments are estimated this week at 1,900,01)0 bushels of wheat and 1.200,000 bushels of corn. A news bulletin issued by Kfnskorf, Lyon Co., of Chicago, says of the freight situa tion: "Tho scarcity of freight room Is not only advancing the cost of grain, cotton and al most everything else to the foreign con sumer, but is affecting this country almost as greatly, as it has been the direct cause of the recent advances In the price of cof fee, sugar and many other commodities. Serious as Is the situation today it promises to bo much worse before there Is any relief. The British Government continues to take over ships for its own purposes and will probably take full chargo of all ships flying the British flag in the near future. The shipyards of this country are all working at full capacity, but their output will afford little relief for a couplo of years at least. On account of tho scarcity of labor Great Britain is able to do but little toward re placing the enormous loss of tonnage the war has inflicted upon its morchant marine. According to Lloyd's annual summary there were only 327 vessels for merchant pur poses launched In Great Britain last year. These vessels had a total tonnage of 600,519 tons, a decrease of 1,032,034 tons compared with the output of the previous year. The showing made by tho British shipyards this year will be much poorer than that of last year. This is a certainty. The whole, world Is hungry for ships today. Trices of every inmg are being advanced on account of the scarcity of freight room and shipowners are realizing enormous profits. What the situa tion will bo if tho war continues another 3'car is hard to conceive. Terminal receipts In cars ' were reported oy in, uercnants Exchange as follows Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay J rn nu, ijiur. Year ago Season to date Year ago Tacoma, Thur.

Tho price of esgs worked lower yesterday. There were sales on the street at 22 cents lor singlo cases and 21 cents for lots, case counc. candled eggs were quoted at tho usual premium, but there was little buying an mo wnoiesale district by retailers, who are getting most of their supplies direct, as they usually do at this time of year. The bulk of the eggs bought -on the street were for shipment to outside points. The mar ket Is easy and a further decline is ex pected this week. Poultry and meats cleaned up well and Improvement is looked for In these lines. Large hens sold at 15"4 cents to 16 cents and other poultry was also in demand. Re ceipts of veal have been lighter than last week The butter market was steady and un changed. Vory littlo cheese is coming from the coast factories and it is firm In price.

COFFEE FUTURES MARKET JiERVOCS Sentiment Influenced byjnternatlonal Pol itics. NEW YORK, Fob. 24. The market for coffee futures appeared to be rather nervous and irregular today and sentiment may have been influenced to some extent by the less favorable view of International politics, or to the unsettled ruling of other markets. Business was largely in the way of switch ing from near to late deliveries in prepara tion for March notices tomorrow, and near months showed a relatively steady tone in the late trading. The opening was steady at an advance of 1 to e points. Alter sell ing at 7.S2c May reacted to 7.76c and De cember eased off from 8.15c to 8.08c. but March snlri nn from 7.62c to 7.64c. and the market closed at a net advance of 7 points on February and of l to 4 points on later convenes.

ALL GLASSES WEAK Munitions and Oils Suffer Most in Day's Selling. SHORTS PRESS ADVANTAGE Stock Market Unsettled by Fear of Rupture Between President and Congress Arising From Ger many's Submarine Policy. new vnRIC Feb. 24. The one absorbing and overshadowing feature of today's fever ishly weak market was me tear or a rup tur hetween the executive and legislative branches of the Federal Oovernment, result ing from Germany's proposed extension of its submarine policy. All other considera tions end developments, some of, them highly favorable, were Ignored in the widespread apprehension arising from this toase situa tion. ITnRettlement was manifested at the very outset and became more pronounced with the progress of the session. Liquidation, largely from out Of town sources, was a primary factor, and the short Interest abetted the declining movement bv extending Its com mitments In those specialties that have proved most susceptible, to pressure in the past. All classes of stocks wcro affected greater or less degree, but the shrinkage was more severe In the munitions ana ou groups, although high-class issues recorded declines of 1 to 2 points. Somo slight Im provement was shown in the final hour when more encouraging advices zrom wasnington caused the shorts to cover their contracts In part. Total sales amounted to 590,000 shares. Further cause for unsettlement was fu nlshed bv the very heavy offerings of Anglo French war bonds, sales of this particular issue completely dominating that brancn o. the securities market. The minimum quota tions of 94 registered by this representative Issue marked a decline of 154 from Its best price of the early part of the year, though a fraction above Its minimum figure in in latter part of 1915. For want of a more definite reason today's extensive selling of this war issue was attributed to the actio: of the DuDont Powder Company directors, who yesterday declared an extra dividend of 32 H per cent, payable largely in these Donas. Factors of favorable Import included Union Pacific's net Increase of $795,000 for Jan uary. Indications of an amicable settlemen of existing differences between thG coa miners and operators, and the Improve' exhibits of the leading financial institutions of the allies. Bonds as a wholo reflected the heavy tone of the International issue.

Mr. Lewis Says High Intercut Kates on Farm Loans Arc Causing Own ers to Crowd to Cities. SALEM, Or., Feb. 24. (Special.) Suggestion that the state and Federal Government co-operate In financing: Ir rigation projects In Oregon Is made by John H. Lewis, Stato Engineer, who said today that such a plan would di vide whatever risk might be Involved, and enable a lower rate of interest to be Secured on tho money needed. Mr. Lewis is strongly in favor of Ftate l of some kind for irrigation and drain age projects. "If a rural credit system Is neces sary for the man on a developed farm," he declared, "then it should be all the more apparent that tho state should provide aid for irrigation and drainage projects." Because the profits for farmlns; ar inadequate as compared with the inter est rate which the farmer must pny when he attempts to borrow money for purchasing machinery, stock, or making necessary improvements, the State Engineer declares, the farmer often Is forced to abandon his land. The Interest rates, ranging; from 7 to per cent, Mr. Lewis Bays, are too high. The result, it Is pointed out, is that the farmers are crowding to the cities, leaving the absentee landlord and tenant in control of the land. "The mere adoption of a comprehen sive development programme would encourage railroad development, and this in turn would create a demand for land of reasonable .price and terms," he declared. FULL TIME WORK GIVEN Iiuilwayincu at Vancouver Soo Indi cations of Prosperity. VANCOUVF.Il. Wash., Feb. 2i. (Spe cial.)

There are 110 employed at tho round house and shops and 75 on tho rip track. This increase in time is caused par tially because of the dctourlng of Great Northern and Northern Pacific trains over the North Bank road on account of bridge being destroyed between Scat tie and Spokane. It is believed, however, that the men will bo kept on full time after tho extra work has been done, as the tonnage Is increasing and indications are that prosperity is returning. 11AILV METEOROLOGICAL ItEIWtT.
