CHICAGO IS RESPONSIBLE Coast Slilpping Strike Is Also De pressing Factor, aa There Is No Inducement to Buy in - Country lor California. Portland -wheat prices had another fall yesterday, bluestem bids declining 2 cents, fortyfold S cents and club and red wheat 1 cent under Thursday's prices. In the past week, local wheat value have dropped from 6 to 8 centa. The Chicago slump, occasioned by news of tbe naval battle, wa responsible for the latest break In prtces here. Trading waa almost at a standstill. There was a little grain selling In the country, but the demand awas very small. Traders are entirely up In the air and afraid to make commitments, . One depressing factor was the dock strike Jong the coast, whloh may have effect on wheat values If it Is of long duration. If, wheat and flour cannot be shipped to Cali fornia from Portland and Puget Sound by water, there will be no Inducement for deal ers to purchase wheat In the country. The California demand for wheat has not been particularly active, but It has been about the only demand existing of late. Last month Portland and Puget Sound ports shipped 800.72a bushels of wheat and 11-4.684 barrels of flour to California. There Is at present an absence of demand from Europe for American wheat, as Can ' ada is underselling this country. Australia till has 100.000.000 bushels to sell to Eu rope, and as most of the Australian wheat Is white wheat. It comes In competition with grain from the United States. The lack of export trade and the fact that the home crop, now nearly ready, Is looking better, together with theagood supply of old wheat left, some 150.000,000 bushels have been ending Chicago prices down at a rapid and uninterrupted rate. The news of the British naval defeat gave added Impetus to the de cline yesterday, although the report came too late In the Chicago session to be thor oughly digested. The first surmise was that It would lead to fresh peace talk, which nat urally would count against the bulls. As there will be no session of the Chicago Board of Trade until Tuesday, because of the pre paredness parade today and an election Mon day, the market will have ample time to readjust Itself to definite conditions. Snow, estimates the Winter wheat crop at 4S0.000.O00 bushels, and the condition at 75.5 per cent. An estimate from Kansas and Oklahoma indicates wheat production S3. 000,000 bushels In Kansas and 20,000,000 In Oklatfoma. Spring wheat states crop condition excellent on acreage lo to 20 per cent below last year. Argentine shipments for the week were 1,008.000 bushels wheat, against 1,793,000 bushels last week and 8,112,1100 bushels last year. Australia shipments are estimated at 700,000 bushels, Indian nothing. Bradstreets estimates American exports this week at 0,372,000 bushels wheat and 1,033,000 bushels corn. Terminal receipts.

Hawaiian pineapple has assumed an Inter esting position In the Eastern markets. The packers are standing firm on their opening prices, and as the big 'jobbers are unable as heretofore to shade them from their standard list there are rumors' that the matter may be the subject of a Federal Investigation. While the big Jobbers are wrathy, the small jobbers are generally accepting the goods at the opening prices. It Is pointed out by brokers that a number of causes have contributed to the fsrmness in the pineapple market. First of all. pineapple Is In a strong statistical position, with little if any spot stock to be disposed of, thanks to the intensive work of advertising during the past three seasons, and the close clean-up of last year. Again, the big boom in sugar has encouraged many planters to set out sugar cans instead of pines, and many of the remaining acres will not bear as heavily this year as last, because of the age of the plants. It is estimated that this year's output will not exceed 2,100,000 cases, as against 2. 6S 0.000 cases last year. A comparison of the opening prices this year and last will show the feeling of the packers as to values, but the most striking fact is that few, if any. packers have re ceded from these figures, whereas last year prices were "all shot to pieces" by the com petition: Grades t ju 1918. ..$1.70 .. 1.15 .. 1.45 . . 1.05 1915. $1.50 1.10 1.80 1.02 7a oui-cu, uuEsa,,, 2 extra sliced, dozen.... 2,4 standard, dozen 2 standard, dozen And. Instead of shading these prices. packers are refusing to confirm even at . .... - . ,, ""a "fiui" uuw. uemanaing o cents or more advance, according to grades. - Not only xs tne acreage held responsible for tne firmness, but the additional cost of ma terials and especially the higher freights are saia to contribute.

The research committee of the National Canners Association has undertaken to stamp out another popular myth affecting canned foods, says the New York Journal of Commerce, by proving through scientlflo iai'asilf&Uea that iJ.amala rffUn1nr from canned foods Is Impossible. Accord ing to Chairman Henry Burden of the com mittee, it will require approximately $30,000 per year for three years to pursue this study to an end, and a pledge for this amount is being circulated for signatures. Many canners put their names down for large sums at the recent executive committee meeting and It is still open. With this myth officially laid at rest there will be nothing left to attack canned foods with. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were aa follows: - Clearings.

Bradstreet's tomor row will say: Feverish buying has subsided, but in Its place has come a steady, more orderly and yet very large volume of business and the virtual arrival of the between-seasons period sees trade as well as industry moving along at a rate far above the seasonal normal. Neither the reduced domestic buying of steel nor tne weakness in boutnern pig iron. 01a materials and such metals as copper, spelter. lead, tin and antimony loom large In an otherwise strong situation. Optimism, though tempered by high prtces. is not one whit less marked than it was at the height of the boom, the plain fact being that the country is sold up, and, therefore, can afford to sit back for a breathing spell. Industry is working at an unwonted pace. Diminished new buying of domestic steel is offset bv foreign demand. The story of labor commanding high wages is more appll cable than ever, and warm weather has im proved retail tracre as well as crop con ditions. Weekly bank clearances are $3,958,412,000. Coffee Futures Declining. NEW YORK, June 2. There was a fur ther decline in the market for coffee futures here today. Selling was not active or aggressive, but the moderate offerings seemed to come partly from trade sources, while demand was limited, and after open ing at a decline of 5 to 7 points, active months sold about 6 to 9 points under last nlgbt a closing figures. September con tracts eased off to $8.55 and March to $8.41. with all deliveries making new low ground for the movement. The close was 7 to 10 points net lower.

The stock market experienced a sudden and somewhat severe upheaval today, after an early period of active strength. In the course of which sev eral Important new high records were regis tered. Rumors adverse to the cause of the entente allies were circulated during the In termediate session, but It was not until al most the final hour that the report of the German admiralty was forthcoming. Prior to that time, the list bad disclosed gains of 1 to 4 points in rails and various classes, with a new maximum for Norfolk & Western at 183, and a 9-point gain In "Bid Four," a Vanderbilt subsidiary. In connection with rumors that the stock soon would be restored to Its former dividend rate. " Specialties, particularly the automobile group and rubber Issues identified with the motor Industry, were higher by 2 to o points, with a gain of 19 points for Willis Overland at the new high of 294. The movement in these stocks gathered much of Its impulse from reports of a huge con solidation to be capitalized at not less than $200,000,000. Incidentally. Chandler Motors, Onlf States Steel and American Beet Sugar were ele vated to the highest level ever recorded with a new top price for Mercantile Marine preferred at 9814. The liquidating movement of the last hour gathered force as It proceeded, rails nelng affected to the same extent as the more mercurial Issues. There was a marked ex ception. Wi'.lis-Overland recovering all Its loss and closing at its early high. Total sales of stocks amounted to 715,000 shares.

LOSS EXCEEDS TWO CENTS Traders Think Peace Talk Will Be Renewed, Wnich Will Have De pressing Effect on Grain Prices idverpool lower. CHICAGO, June . -Announcement of heavy losses by the British In a naval battle with the Germans caused a sharp break today In the value of wheat. Prices closed weak. 2 -to 2e net lower, with July at $1.3V 91.0BH and September $1.05 H. Other leading staples, too, underwent a setback, corn. H94c, oats, H to hi 9 Ho and pro visions. 10 to 67 Ho. Although the wheat market had been tending downward from the outset of trad ing. It was not until the news earns of ths battle In the North 6ea that prtces began to descend In earnest. The popular theory was that on on sequence of the battle would be to bring about a renewal of peace talk, and thus have, at least temporarily, a depressing ef fect on wheat prices, whether peace was ultimately brought nearer or not. Under such conditions the market showed no power to rally, and with unabated liquidation, short selling and lack of support finished at about the lowest prices reached. - Weak quotations at Liverpool were chiefly responsible tor early declines In the wheat market here. Corn receded only to a small extent as compared with wheat. Bears were cautious on account of the lightness of receipts and owing to Improved shipping call In the Southwest. Osts. like corn, held relatively firm. Es timates were current that acreage reduc tions this season . would cut down th crop 25 per cent from last year's total. Provisions sympathized with the break In wheat. .Leading futures ranged as follows: , WHEAT. Open. .$I.05H . 1.07 High. $1.05"4 l.OIH CORK. .69 H .6914 Uw. $1.03 H 1.05 i.
