THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY. APRIL 11, 1916. 1? WHEAT IS STEADIER All Domestic Markets Are on Better Basis. CROP CONDITION IS FACTOR Activity In orthwest Depends on Demand From Eastern Millers. Submarine Campaisn May - Be Influence. Vh wheat markets were firmer n all quarters yesterday. Local prices averaged about 1 cent higher in response to the up turn at Chicago, which was due to bad crop reports. The Coast markets are dull with tittle prospect of reviving, and the only oppor tunity for activity in the future will come with a resumption of liberal buying by the East. There is inquiry now from Eastern quarters, but only fife and Turkey red In terest the millers of that section. On club and other white wheats, sellers can do as well or better here. The Eastern buyers also insist on prompt shipment. Grain men are speculating as to what effect the vigorous submarine campaign of Germany will have on the wheat markets In this country. Yesterday's toll alone by the German under-sea craft amounted to fully 60,000 tons of carrying capacity. Tf Jt. continues at this rate much longer it will virtually equal a blockade of Great Britain, and a stoppage of exports will of course depress the American markets. Europe requires wheat in a continuous movement, and if the traffic Is not inter rupted can take care of all the grain shipped from this side, according to Broom hall, who says in his international weekl review : "It is fairly certain that quantities avail able for immediate consumption are not excessive, and the Continent continues to take the bulk of Argentine and Australian order cargoes and it is believed that our merchants and millers must continue to purchase steadily to keep abreast nf the situation. A good authority here confirms that most of the losses to the tonnage by submarines has been replaced by new ton nage It Is expected that the market, in the immediate future, will be greatly affected by American crop advices, but former rec ords show that the condition in May 11 usually above that of April. European crop news is generally hopeful, but personally I believe that there cannot be largo crop3, with so many millions of workers withdrawn from agricultural pursuits. There is a bet ter inquiry for Argentine freights, from Brit ish merchants, and rates are hardening." Crop conditions In the war zone are given by Broomhall as follows: France Crop prospects on the areas seed ed are generally thought to be favorable. Weather improved. Reserve are very mod. erate, consumption large, and foreign ar rivals moderate. It is believed that pur chases will of a -necessity commence shortly. Germany Weather less favorable, with freezing. Less complaint is heard regard, ing shortage of supplies. Russia Weather milder, following recent moderate freezing. Crops generally prom ise well as reported by officials, but vari ous agents do not confirm this and believe the crop will be materially short of even last year. Spring sowing in southern dis tricts progressing. Navigation at the por of Archangel is expected to open by the middle of April. Balkan Indications point to a large yield. General outlook favorable. Austria-Hungary Outlook for Winter crops is poor. Acreage short and seed poor, with weather against best developments. Shortage is reported of necessary reserves of grain. Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants" Exchange as follows: Wheat. Barley. Flour. Oats. Hay.

Marine Shares Lead In I'pward M ment Coppers and Mexicans Arc Strong;. NEW "YORK, April 10. Stocks were stirred into a semblance of strength and animation today, mainly in consequence of the absence of disturbing developments over the week-end. Advice3 from Berlin regarding the Sussex Incident, were accepted as making for further delay in the settle ment of the delicate negotiations now pending. News touching on the market was largely of a favorable character, embracing the an nual statements of the Utah and Chi no Copper companies, which disclosed enor mous increase of earnings over 1914, with a similar exhibit by some of the smaller shipping companies. There also was the March report of the United States Steel Corporation, showing Increases in tfte un filled orders of 7G2.033 tons and bringing the total business on the corporation's books up to record figures of S.3J1.001 tons. Chicago also reported a 20 per cent gain In railroad tonnage over this period last y-sar. The other side of the account, however, included such adverse factors as another break in French exchange to 6.03, which duplicated the low quotation of last year, and many preceding years, together with extensive selling of Anglo-French bonds at substantial concessions. There were indica tions, also, of an indefinite continuance of the long existing differences among the various interests represented in the pro posed reorganization of the International Mercantile Marine Company. Marino shares led the list from start to finish, the common gaining 2 points to 20 and the preferred 2 to 764. with a gala of li for United Fruit. Coppers were favorably influenced by trade conditions and Zinc Issues made further progress, Amer ican Zinc rising 2H to the new maximum of 973. UnJt4 6utM amalt iug also eLfc- Ilshed a- new high quotation on its rice of 3 to 75c. Mexican shares, as represented by. Amer ican Smelting and the petroleums, were ma terially better, and the war group, together with motors and United States Industrial Alcohol, rose 1 to 3 points, with 8 for Willys-Overland at 238. Bethlehem Steel fell sharply at one time, but made com plete recovery at the firm close. Total sales of stocks amounted to 458,000 shares. Bonds were irregular, the Anglo-French 5s falling to 95 U on offerings of several large blocks. Total sales of bonds, par value, were $3,670,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Corn finished ",4o to lie up, oats 14 lie off to a shade advance, and pro visions varying from 5c decline to a rise of 714c. Unusual strength in the May delivery of wheat here, as compared with other op tions, was accounted for as due to buying of May to remove hedves against sales of Canadian wheat to Buffalo mills. In a late reaction, caused by realizing on the part of holders. May fell back only about half as much aa July. There were predictions of continued demand from Continental Euro pean countries, where reserves were said to be light and where hopes of prompt ship ments from Argentina and Australia have been disappointing. The market was also bulllshly affected by statements that the records of the last 25 years indicate the chance after April 1 for a substantial Im provement in the Winter crop Is very slight.
