Th( trading was done by call for bids
Alii cferlngs, and It was noticeable that the
spreal .betweenbld and asked prices was
narrav from the start, indicating a desire
on tie part of buyers and sellers to cet to
gethc without unnecessary ceremony. Clos
ing; ids, which did not result in further
rales were at 25,4 cents for extra cubes
and 2314 cents for eggs.
Tie opening of the Exchange gives Port
land for the first time official market
prlrea of produce. Based on actual sales.
these prices may be taken as legitimate
values, which will govern transactions in the
open market as well. It is the hope of the
promoters of the movement to include In the
membership of the Exchange all out-of-town
creamery men and produce shippers who
market supplies in this city. Sessions will
be held on every business day at 11:30 A. M.
ALL WHEAT MARKETS ARE STEADIER
Trade Is Quiet rurally and in the Interior
of the State.
The wheat markets were steadier at all
points yesterday. Local board quotations
were not materially changed. Trade was
quiet here and in. the country.
A San Francisco wire noted an advance
In grain bag prices In that market to 14
cents. The stronger tone was due to the
belief that arrivals from Calcutta would not
reach the coast in time to be available for
the early California harvest. Locally bags
were quoted firm at 12 cents.
Argentine wheat shipments this week are
estimated at 2,000,000 bushels.
James Caruthers says of the Canadian
crop outlook;
"The general opinion teems to be that ths
Canadian wheat acreage w-111 be at least
15 per cent below 1015. We cannot expect
anything, -like the-375,000,000 bushels raised
last year. If the three Canadian provinces
raise 200.000.000 bushels this season It will
be all that can be expected, although weath
er conditions may change the sXlgures 25,
000,000 to 50,000,000 bushels either, way. Our
opinion is that the United States and Can
ada will not raise over two-thirds ot what
they did last year, and possibly below this.
, We firmly believe that every bushel of our
Manitoba wheat will be wanted in the next
few month?, especially taking into consid
eration Its magnificent quality; It may be
years before we can get sueh another crop
of fine Quality In our Canadian Northwest.'

NEW YORK, May 25. Transfer of specu
lative interest from investments to special
ties assumed well-defined proportions today,
leading rails extending their declines, while
munitions, shipping shares anTl miscellaneous
stocks made variable gains, only a few of
which were retained at the irregular close.
Trading was moderately active, but lacked
the feverish movements of the early week.
Reading continued active, declining to
lO-J at the opening, rallying to 105M:. fall
ing back to 101 and closing at 102. an
overnight loss of 1 points. It was again
the largest contributor to the day'a oper
ations, with air overturn of 116.000 shares.
Other rails were relatively dull or heavy,
closing with a fair average of quotations
under final prices of the previous day.
Bethlehem Steel led the "war brides'" In
extent of gain, showing more than its usual
activity on its advance of 17 Vt points to
459 y.. L'nited States Steel gave promise
at midday of resuming its former leader
ship, rising 1V4 points" to 86H on numerous
Individual transactions ranging from looo
to more than 50OO shares.
Crucible and Lackawanna Steel were ma
terially higher at their best, together with
some of the minor industrials and locomo
tives, which supplemented yesterday's bbst
prices before the reaction of the last hour.
Automobile and Can Issues iwere outstanding
features during the mldsession. General
Motors gaining 5 points, with 24 points for
Chandler Motors, which made a new maxi
mum of 105. while Continental Can rose
briskly to 104V4 on its pain of ftU points.
Mercantile Marlnea regained some of their
recent prominence, the preferred rising A
points, and United Fruit kept pace with
the rise in these issues. United States In
dustrial Alcohol featured Its particular class
with a temporary gain of points, and
such stocks as Sears-Robuck and Woolworth
had their mbmeutary periods of strength and
activltv.
April statements of transcontinental roads
were again highly favorable. Union Pacific
reporting a net lncreaze of $1,448,00, with
SK4.Vnni fni. Atchison.
Bonds wore steady on a fairly large
distribution of trading. Total sales, par
value, $4,430,000. United States and Panama

Yield of State Placed y Some Au
thorities at Ijcss Tlian Half of
Last Year's Liberal
Buying by Greece.
CHICAGO. May 25. Drouth and excessive
ly hot weather, causing rapid deterioration
of crooi in Oklahoma and parts of Kan
sas, brought about advances today in the
wheat market here. Closing prices, al
though unsctlted. were c net higher.
with July at $1.104 01.101 and September
at Sl.llli. Corn lost H,c to 2Tc oats
finished v.e down to a shads advance, and
limvlKlnnR n f f fie to 2 lie
As a result of prevailing adverse condi
tions, estimates on the Oklahoma wheat
crop were reduced by some authorities today
to as low as 15,0OK00 bushels, as against
recent forecasts of 25.0OO.O470 bushels and
against last year's harvest of 34i.500.000
bushels.
Two Interruptions to the upward course
of the wheat market took place one Just
after tho opening, the other shortly be
fore the close. Predictions of cooler tern
peratures and possible showers, especially
In Oklahoma, caused the transient early
setback. Downturns near the end of the
session resulted chiefly from weakness of
the corn market. A sustaining Influence,
however, wns liberal foreign buying, which
Included 1.250.OOO bushels for the Govern
ment of Greece.
Sh&rp breaks In the Talus of corn lol
lowed announcements that additions
2.000.000 bushels to the s-lbllc elevator
capacity here were to be rna.'e forthwith
Besides the weather was idtl for the
growing crops.
Oats held relatively firm, owing to- crop
damage reports from Oklahoma and Kan
sas. Bearish advices from other states
failed In til rrrain to act as an offset.
Provisions weakened with hogs and corn.
Parkers appeared to be temporarily on th
selling side.

Renewal of Active Liquidation on Js'ew York
Exchange.
NEW YORK, May 25. There was a re
newal of active liquidation in the market
for coffee futures here today. Except for
slightly heavier Brazilian receipts, there
was no feature in the reports from primary
markets that seemed to attract much at
tention around the ring and the selling was
most generally attributed to realizing by
either foreign or domestic longs on the
nearer approach of the new-crop -movement
or a less favorable view of immediate peace
preppects.
The bulk of the selling came early in the
day, however, and after opening at a de
cline of 10 to 11 points, with September
selling at $8.60 and December at $8.72,
prices steadied on covering. Trading was
less active on the rally -to $8.64 for Septem
ber and $8.78 for December, the market clos
ing at a net advance of 2 points on May
and June, but generally 7 points net lower.
Sales. 54,240 hags. May. $S.40; June, $8.45;

Fair Proportion of Peaches and
Grapes 1st Good Shape.
GRANTS PASS. Or.. May 25. (Spe
cial.) Never in the history of the
Hogue River Valley has the outlook for
large crop and high, prices for the
same for both apples and pears been
more promising than at the present
time. The late frosts of the past two
weeks have done no damage whatever
to either the apples or the pears and
heavy thinnlnfr js now In progress and
will be for some time to come. On the
Eismann, Lake Shore and other or
chards of -old commercial standing; at
least three-fifths of the fruit will have
to be thinned, while all the younger
orchards are bearing heavily.
Heavy losses of, fruit all over the
country practically guarantee a high
price for the Rogue River apples and
pears and the fruitgrowers are feeling
jubilant.
Owing to the extreme drought of the
past year and the early Spring a num
ber of the younger trees here and over
the county were killed from sour sap,
but all the older trees are in prime
condition.
There will be at least a half crop of
peaches with a correspondingly high
price. Already overtures are being
made to peach growers for their crops
at good figures. It was feared at first
that the heavy frosts of two weeks
ago had seriously damaged the grape
crop, but It is now definitely ascer
tained' that the crop will be fully up to
standard in quantity and. quality.
