SUGAR AT TOP PRICE
Fifteen-Cent Advance Estab
lishes New Record.
LOCAL MARKET NOW $8.15
Present Quotation Is lime Above
Hih Mark Reached Just After
Outbreak or War in Europe,
Further TUse Expected,
T?! Eastern sugar market was strong and
X'.-ite'l yesterday, and as a. consequence of
the advance there the Pacific Coast market
ill be lj cents a hundred higher today.
The new local quotation ot 43.13 will be
record one for this market. The highest
mar price in Portland heretofore was
$.03. which was named on August 17. 1914.
and was in effect for three days.
Jabbers look for another advance in the
r.t-mr f utur. Predictions have been made
that the market will reach 3.00. and a still
higher quotation would not cause much sur
prise. The stimulating factor in the East
ern market is the continued demand from
the British commission, which seemingly is
ahort of granulated" and must purchase
weeks ahead to cover future requirements
of both the United Kingdom and France.
RIow is given a record of the local sugar
market fluctuations since the beginning of
the war:

XKW YORK, April 15. Sugar took an
other jump today, fine granulated selling
at 7.4 cents, or within 10 points of the
high record of 10H. The raw market was
alio very strong, with sales of Cubas at
5"i cents, co.t and freight, only v cent
unner the high level established after the
outbreak of the European war. while fu
lures, bnanng the upturn, likewise made
new hih records.
The continued heavy buying of both re
fined and raw sugars by European interest
Is chiefly responsible for the present, strong
situation.

Witb .Settlement of German Question Itu.i
ne May KeviTe.
Grain business in the Northwest Is of
mull volume these days. As elsewhere in
.the country, the trade is awaiting a set
tlement of the German question before;
embarkins upon new commitments. With
tho submarine issue out of the way, there
is likely to be a fair revival of buying in
me northwest.
There is some inquiry from the Kast. but
the biii are not in line with tellers' ideas.
Coast demand is small. Wheat bids at the
Merchants' Exchange wero tor the most
part unchanged.
Bradstrctts estimates the visible wheat
decrease, at 5,GtAf.Uj bushels.
The Canadian visible wheat supply la
34,00s 0fi bushels, against 1,-.0U0 bush
els a year ago. The oats visible la Ji.761,
O00 bushels, against 5,-US.OuO bushels last
3 ear.
Broomhall says in his international wheat
revi w :
The market here is dominated by the
large Canadian offers, which are in line,
and liberal supplies on spot and afloat.
The Continent is receiving large supplies,
and tho demand remains quiet, as buyers
are waiting to see the effect of tho open
ing of navigation. The promised state
ment by the government of total purchases
is further evidence that supplies available
for shipment during the tipring and Sum
mer will be unusually large. Canada. Aus
tralia and Argentina possess immense un
sold balances, and the, situation is in. strik
ing contrast to that of last season, when
these countries were shipping little. It is
thought possible that either country alona
could easily ship from June until Septem
ber a quantity equal to tha aggregate ship
ments of the aforesaid countries last year.
"ll ' expected that there will be fur
ther unfavorable American crop reports,
which are likely to deter short selling, but
there Is so much wheat In sight from old
crop that a further sustained advance for
the present is Inconceivable."
Crop conditions axe aa follows:
United Kingdom Spring sowing of wheat
has made good progress, but the weather
has turned unfavorable, with rain. Acreage
will be short.
Tho outlook for Winter and
Spring wheat on the area planted is favor
able, rot acreage will be much under nor

NEW YORK, April 23. Wall street's too
lief Jn the increasing bttermcnt of t he
country b externa rlaLionj was exemplified
ny a. further au vance of prices today, a I
tho.iRh some of this ativ-antape was forfeited
Jn the final hour. Over niKht unofficial ad
vices from Berlin UKRexted a willingne
from that Quarter to irrant concessions, and
there were other signs of a diminution of
the strain.
This nAi nartly nullified, however. ry re
ports of jrrave disturbances in Ireland and.
indications of another disagreement in the
British Cabinet. Continued delay in the
French credit negotiations with our banker
was ascribed to the inability of the con
tracting parties to arrive at a. dertnlte un
derstanding regarding the character of the
underlying collateral.
The market opened with another outburst
of bullish enthusiasm and stamped out
shorts, active specialties advancing 1 to 3
points In the first hour and increasing this
lead before midday. There were free oner
inga on the rise, hut these were confidently
absorbed until midday, when the activity
ana advance came to a nait. i nereaiter.
dealings d wind led, and prices manifested
some irregularity.
Traders were Inclined to regard United
Ptatea Steel as a barometer of the marRet,
that stock's advance of 1 f-i points in the
forenoon being accompanied by rumors of
an "extra' dividend by the directors, wno
were to meet after the close of the market.
As it afterward developed, the Steel board
at no lime considered the question of a.n ad
ditional disbursement, although It was aa
mitted that the record earnings would have
Justified such action.
Mercantile Marines were the dominant is
sues, combined dealings in the preferred and
common shares, at extreme advances of o'a
and l'i, points, respectively, comprising more
than one-fifth of the total operations. War
shares And affiliated specialties were ft to 10
points higher at their best, but yielded ir
regularly on profit-taking.
Kails were in soncrat lirm to strong, ex
cent New Haven, which showed marked
weakness. yielding -i' points on fairly
large dealinea. Total gales of stocks amount

Coffee Kutures Kirmer.
TEW TORK. April 25. The market for
coffee futures was firmer today. Recent
tquidation appeared to have left a stronger
technical position, as offerings were com
paratively small and after opening 3 and 5
points higher, prices advanced easily on
some near-month covering. A little buy
ing from Kupropean sources and a renewal
of local bull support which was accompanied
hy reports of a better European demand in
Brazil. July contracts sold up to 8...0 and
December to 8.51, with the general list
working about 12 to IS points net higher.
Realizing caused a slight reaction later, but
the market closed at a net advance of 0
to 16 points. Sales including switches. 38,-

EXPORT SALES REPORTED
Confidence Is Growing: Among Trad-
ers That Crisis With Germany
Will Be Safely Passed; Bull
ish Factor Is Weather.
CHICAGO. April 23. Growing confidence
that the crisis with Germany would not
cause a break in diplomatic relations had
much to do with a fresh advance today in
the value of wheat, and so also had stormy
weather in the Spring crop belt. Prices
closed strong. iy19ic to 2'c net highr,
with May at $1.13 4j)1.13i,i and July at
$1.141,41.1.1414. Other leading staples, too,
scored gains for the day, corn U4c, oata
H lie to He, and provisions 15272C
Upturns in the wheat market formed the
rule except right at the outset. Sentiment
against the bears increased noticeably, after
word came that rains in North Dakota and
Manitoba were spreading and that delays
to seeding, which were already grave, would
be rendered correspondingly worse. Export
sales in the East, aggregating 750,000 bush
els, counted further in favor of prices.
Corn hardened chiefly in sympathy with
wheat, and as a result of seaboard demand.
said to be influenced by a reduction of esti
mates of the Argentine surplus. Gossip was
current that 200.000 bushela of corn daily
is being made into starch by Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and ICentucky factories, presumably
for export, to be used in the manufacture
of explosives.
Oats were governed by tho action of corn
and wheat. Export sales of oats amounted to
500,000 bushels.
Lard went to a new high-price record for
this season and continued to tead an advance
in provisions. Tho unusual demand for lard
was explained as reflecting not only big
export transactions but also the scarcity of
materials for tho manufacture of glycerine.
Leading future ranged as follows:
