1200 tons of oats for use by the department
In the Philippines. Quartermasters at Se
attle, San Francisco, Kansas City, St. Paul
and Chicago also received bids. The pro
posals submitted at Portland and Seattle
were as follow1::
-Albers Bros., Portland $1,54 14
Northern Grain & Warehouse Co.,
Portland 1.54
Albers Bros., Seattle 1.54
Galbralth. Bacon fc Co.. Seattle 1.63
The specifications called for old-crop oats,
double-sacked, with delivery after July 1.
Tenders for supplying hay wore also invited,
but there were no Portland hay bids.
Following the opening of Government bids
the oats market quieted down, and there
tverc no reports from the country of specu
lative: buying. At the Merchants Exchange
offers for May oats were reduced a quarter.
while June bids were unchanged.
The wheat market was slightly steadier
yesterday and bids at the Exchange were
advanced 1 to 2 cents. In the country there
has been a little trading during the past
few days.
For the first time in months wheat space
1 available for shipment to Europe by the
all-water route. The Sound will have a
steamer for next month's loading, with des
tinations of Liverpool and Glasgow. In the
present condition of the market these are
undesirable ports, as stocks are congested
there and prices much lower than in other
British ports. Tho coming of the steamer,
however, will give firms having grain on
Puget Sound docks an opportunity to clean
up, though it offers no encouragement for
much new business from the. interior, con
sidering the prices now prevailing in the
country.
If space to French ports were available
at this time exporters would be able to re
Fume operations and would probably will-1
ingly pay 20s more for wheat to ship there,
equal to 12 cants a bushel, but unfortunately
such space is not obtainable, as steamers
will not go to France.
Wheat buying for local account is limited.
Demand from California has ceased, as
Southern wheat is underselling .Northern
just now by $1.00 to $2 a ton.
The mill feed market is very firm, with
stocks much reduced because of the stag
nation in the export flour trade. Millers
this week are quoting bran and shorts $1.50
a ton higher.
The world's visible wheat supply de
creased S0.00e.000 busheld in April, against
an increase of 7j.0u0.U00 bushels in March.
An estimate of the wheat area, of Canada
hows a decrease of 14.0 per cent.

Sl'tiAR PIUCE IS FIVE CENTS HIGHER
Local Quotuti on Ttai&ed, Owing to Increase
in lreUfht Kates.
Five cents was added to the jobbing price
of sugar in the local market yesterday. The
advance was due to the increase in freight
rates between San Francisco and Portland,
rates being raised from $2.30 to $u a ton
on sugar-and other commodities.
No change was reported in the Eastern
ut-ar situation during the day.
Europe is in the market for refined as
well as raw sugar, according to the New
York Journal of Commerce, which says:
"The primary factor of late in the con
tinued strength in -sugar has been the ac
cumulation of between 73,000 and 100,000
tons of raws in Cuba by tho British Com
mission on a 3c f. o. b. basis. Kefiners
here have been trying to keep down the
market, but operator bought and forced
their hand. In view of the fact that they
have not over two weeks' meltings at the
Atlantic porUathe necessity of buying from
time to time is apparent. Moreover, the
centrals stopping grinding in Cuba report
a shortage in production, "according to
Himely. of li to per cent, which means
a smaller crop thau awaited come months
ago.
"Norway, Italy, Switzerland and Greece
are constantly buying in a small way. re
finers turning down a large business after
taking orders at ti.oOc. Tho British Com
mission is still bidding below the asking
figure, but is expected to come in soon, to
XiiJ requirements for England and France,
rjMLimai.es aiirer as to the supply of sugar
in tne country, but it Ik generally admitted
that the distributors and canners must come
in next month and provide for future needs.
They are contracted ahead until probably the
middle of June, and in view of the heavy
deliveries forced out by the refiners of re
cent weeks must have stocked up the re
tailers with a good supply. However, some
feel that the invisible btocks are much
lighter than believed and point out that the
consumption keeps up because of the in
dustrial activity despite high prices. Possi
bly the cannery will do leas preserving,
much depending on the size of the fruit crop.
The full effect of the rise has yet to be felt
by the consumer."

Recent Weather Unfavorable for Fruit.
Spring Wheat Toe Well.
Following 1 a summary of crop con
ditions In Oregon for the week ending May
, 1016, as reported to the local office of
the Weather Bureau by special correspond
ents throughout the state;
Excellent growing weather prevailed dur
ing the first three days of the week, bat the
last four were cool and wet, which condition
was most unfavorable for fruit, especially
Italian prunes, which have dropped badly.
Frost also did somo damage to fruit in the
Eastern counties, especially where the rain
fall was less, for In those sections freezing
temperatures prevailed on one or more
nights.
Spring wheat has s tooled nicely and it is
making satisfactory progress, although the
season is from a week to ten days. late.
Winter wheat is not doing so well. The
fields are unusually weedy and in some
places wire worms have done considerable
damage. In. other sections the fields are
somewhat spotted.
Corn planting is well advanced and plow
ing for Summer fallow, seeding and early
garden and potato planting are nearly
finished.
Pasturage, alfalfa and meadows are gen
erally in excellent condition and cattle are
beginning to look sleek, after so much suf
fering last Winter, owing to. the scarcity of
feed. The first cutting of alfalfa will be
gin in a week or two.
The cool, wet weather was severe on
newly-shorn sheep, but no reports of losses
were received from our correspondents.
A good crop of strawberries is being
marketed.

Stock Market Trend Is More

Aain Affected by Vague
Peace Rumors.
NEW YORK. May 10. The only note
worthy feature of today's market, aside from
its further irregularity, was the marked cur
tailment of operations. Even the first hour's
business was only nominal aud thereafter
trading steadily diminished.
The uncertain trend of the opening was
occasionally relieved by spasmodic advances
or declines, but thejso proved to have no
actual significance, except in a few promi
nent Issues, whose movements resulted from
well-defined causes.
-Mexican affairs continued to engage the
attention of speculative interests aud th
possibilities of a Federal inquiry Into the
coal situation caused some selling of stocks
which may come within the scope of such
investigation. Trade authorities referred to
a "slow down" in the steel and iron in
custry and tho United fcUtte Steel April
tui.nu.go ttateinent, winch broke all previous
record, seemed to fall on barren ground.
Kails were fairly active, but resulting sales
contrioutea to the heaviness of that group.
Rock Island, yesterday's outstanding feature,
received a moderate setback, while leaders
like Union Pacific, Reading and New York
Central were under restraint, with heaviness
iu New Haven.
Peace rumors, which were no less acue
than in the preceding session, were again
responsible for the pressure against muni
tions, in which declines varied from one to
more than 3 points. Mexican Petroleum,
the motors and United States Industrial Al
col ol backed and filled in confusing fashion.
For tho lirst time In a fortnight, ship
ping shares failed to exercise the sllgatest
Influence. Mercantile Marine and Cnited
Fruit lost some of their advantage and
prominence on denials that outside interests
were seeking control of those properties.
Sugar shares alono were, consistently
strong, American tiugar showing unusual
activity and gaining with 1 to 2 points
in others of the same group. Final prices
were mostly at lowest levels, fresh selling
causing renewed weakness. ToUil sales of
stocks. 420.000 Bhares.

to be more realizing in tht market for cof
fe futures here today, while demand was
limitea. The opening was one to two points
lr.wer. and the market weakened further In
the late trading with July selling down to
$S.38 and September to $Sf.52.
Taa close wan at a net derlin of 5 to

in the day may have b-eu due to rather
a less favorable view of peace prospects, but
there was no change in the news from

EXPORT RATES TO RISE
IXCREASES OX TBAXSCOXTlXEXTAt
FHEIGUTTO iO IX EFFECT.
Advance X. Kxpected Affect Prin
cipally Avar Munition. Portland to
Be Included In Tariff..
A slight increase in transcontinental
freight rates on export shipments will
be put into efTect by the carriers within
the next few weetca.
H. E. Lounubury, general freight
agent of tho O.-W. It. & N. Company
has just returned from Chicago, where
he attended a meeting of the transcon
tinental freight bureau called for con-
siderauun of this question. The new
tariffs carrying1 the increase will bt
published promptly, and the increased
rates will apply as soon as the iaw will
permit.
It is understood that the advance
will affect war munitions principally
including barbeU wire, automobile
truck. iirearms, powder, shells and va
rious forms of ammunition.
Territory from Denver and points
east thereof will be affected. The ports
through which the new tariff will apply
include San Francisco. Seattle. Van
couver, B. C, and Tacoma, from which
the principal war shipments have been
made.
It is understood that Portland, Ever
ett, Bellinghani and other Pacific Coast
terminals that do not handle war ship
ments also will be named in the tariffs,
but this procedure will be a mere for
mality so far as it concerns Portland,
Inasmuch as the railroads of the North
west are sending all their foreign
freight through Seattle.
However, the carriers have consented
to apply the rate to Portland so that,
if they are accidentally forced to ship
something through this port, they will
be able to collect the same rate on it.
MUNITIONS TRAFFIC HEAVY
Portland Hallway Orricial Back
l'rom Conference Held at Seattle.
Frank "W. Robinson, traffic manager
of the O.-W. R. & X., returned yes
terday from Seattle, where he con
ferred with the loca.1 representatives
of the company and with Frank Water
house, foreign freisrht agent for the
Union Pacific system.
Mr. Waterhouse has charee of the
movement of war munitions handled
by the Union Pacific system to Vladi
vostok. All this .material moves
throush Seattle. Mr. Robinson's pres
ence has therefore been required In Se
attle much of the time in tho last few
months.
The Union Pacific system has been
frettina; a large share of this war mu
nition business. Sometimes the volume
of it Is so great that it must lie on
the docks awaiting the arrival of ships
to move it.
