Newspaper Page Textt N TTTT3 MOTCNTNG OTIEGONTAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 1916. 19 RESERVES PILED UP England May Be Out ofJVlar ket for 90 Days. WHEAT STOCKS ARE LARGE l.ocal Exporters Look for Very Slow Trade at Opening of Coming Season Crop Prospect Country Over Improve. local grain men Believe the new crop wheat market will be a very alow affair at the opening. Private advices from England rndtcatas that buyer will not be Interested during the first few months, unless bargains are offered them. According to these ad vices, England hae accumulated enough wheat to last tor 90 days, and with the supplies on hand and contracts for Cana dian and .other wheat, her requirements for six months are provided for. On May 1, Canadian reports showed that BO per cent of the crop was still to be moved, and this Northern wheat la now com ing out with a rush. Winnipeg yesterday announced receipts of 1800 cars. The Cana dians are also consigning their wheat to Europe, and this Is helping to demoralize the foreign markets. According to the figures Issued by the u.ri-h.nt Exchange yesterday, shipments of wheat from the United States and Can ada to date have been abouK0.0O0.000 busn ... lamer, than In the same period last sea- .nn when the huge North American crops were announced last Fall, the prediction was made by grain experts that the n,,M be some 450.000.000 bushels. excess The Question Is what has become of this big surplus? Is It still held back in this coun try to be a weight on the market during the coming season, or were the Government's estimates of a 1,000.000,000 bushel crop rad faallv wrong? At the moment there is no demand of im nninc In the Northwest and farmers of ferings at the same time are limited. Al though the dock strike Is practically set tled, no new business with California has .vinn.H The steamship companies are till working on the freight accumulations on their wharves. At the Merchants" Ex change, wheat bids varied from 1 cent lower to 1 cent higher than Saturday. Crop-- reports from east of the Cascades are more favorable since the weather turned warm. The Columbia River counties are estimated to yield 25 per cent more wheat than last year. Umatilla may not show much change, probably a. slight decrease. The Grand Rohde and Wallowa will have a fair crop on a reduced acreage. The wheat crop In Eastern Oregon Is estlmataed by grain men at from 70 to 75 per cent of last "year's. For the whole Northwest, yield of not less than 60.000.000 bushels is predicted. John Inglis estimates the Kansas wheat crop at 105,000,000 bushels and Nebraska at 60.000,000 bushels.

COFFEE FUTURES STILL DECLINING September Contracts 80 Points Below High Slark. NEW TORK, June 12. There was a fur ther decline in the market for coffee futures here today, and prices made new low ground for the movement, with September contracts selling at 8.09c, or no less than 80 points below the high record established on May 20. The opening was 2 to 4 points lower under small scattering offerings, and the selling became a little more active during the middle day, when there seemed to be some pressure from houses with cotton ex change connections. This selling; was ac companied by predictions of further sharp declines, ovlng to the easier ocean freights and the Increasing new-crop movement, but after showing a net loss of 6 to 10 points, with December selling at 8.25c and March at 8.41c, prices steadied on covering and a little comniiaslon-house buying.

Kansas Yield Estimated at IV early Kqual te Last Year's Improve ment In Nebraska. CHICAGO, June 12. Assertions that the Kansas and Nebraska yield for 116 would be much nearer equal to the 1916 total than had been generally expected did a great deal today to cause a decline In the wheat market here.. As a result the close, although unsettled, was l'4c to lc net lower, wltn July $1.03 and September at $1.0474. Corn lost Htto to HC oats finished Mo off ana provisions at a rise of 27c to 83c.. Estimates made by a leading authority to day put the Kansas wheat crop at 105,000. 000 bushels, as against 106,000,000 bushels last year. Nebraska was figured at 60.000, 000 bushels, a decrease of 6.600.000 bushels. These estimates, which were accompanied by reports that the croD had shown won derful Improvement In Nebraska and the southwest during the last two weeks, , led quickly to the lewest prices of the day. Not all of the decline, however, waa due to the bearish crop estimates. Right from the start prices had a downward swing. In fluenced by easier cables, favorable weather and the slowness of shipping demand. Be sides, the United States visible supply statement for the week waa a disappoint ment for the bulls. Profit-taking .by shorts brought about something of a'recover In the wheat mar ket as the session approached an end. The upturn was helped a little by announce ment of the purchase of 120,000 bushels for export by way of the Gulf of Mexico at a better price than any which had recently been ollered. Corn declined with wheat. A rally which wipea out tne greater part or the loss en sued, though when the visible supply to. tal was posted, showing a much larger de crease than at the corresponding time last year. - Favorable orop reports tended to weaken the oats market. July operations went to the lowest quotations yet this season. Higher prices on hogs prompted a sharp advance In provisions. A leading packer was conspicuous on tne buying side.

BIG SPECULATIVE DEMAND Further Successes of Russian Armies Are Also Stimulative Factor. Steel . Iada In Strength. Improvement In Ralls. NEW YORK. June 12. The reasonable In ference to be drawn from today's market was that the selection of the Republican National ticket and the virtual collapse of the Progressive movement were altogether satisfactory to the Important financial Inter, ests of the country. Stocks opened with a strong tone, gathering greater momentum later, and extending to almost all classes ox securities. The further successes of the Rus sian armies sgalnst Austrta also were a helpful factor In their effect upon specu lative sentiment. There were occasional recessions from best 'quotations and a marked reduction of activity In the latter part of the session. resulting from heavy realizing. In the main, however, the course of the market In dicated an excess of demand over supply and urgent covering of short contracts. This was especla lv the case with old-time favorites, notably United States Steel, which recovered its long-dormant leadership on an advance of 1H points to 87H. accompanied by a huge overturn of the stock In very large Individual blocks. Other Issues de pendent in a measure on future tariff con ditions were significantly sctlve and strong. Important rails, almost without exception. Improved substantially over last week's final prices. Reading heading the movement with a gain of 3 points. Canadian Pacific and New Haven displaying similar vigor. New York Central, the Harrimans, St. Paul, Atchison. Lehigh Valley and less conspicu ous rails also made material progress. Long island featuring tho lnsctlve division with a gain of S points at 41 hi. Its highest price In almost 10 years. Motors, fertilizers and numerous unclassi fied specialties exhibited irregular strength, but shipping shares were variable. Marine preferred showing renewed pressure, while United Fruit made a moderate gain, t Mexicans were backward on Intervention rumors and metals lagged until Just before the close, when they .rose briskly with American Can. The one new high record of the day was made by American Beet Sugar, which rose 44 to 87H. Total sales of stocks amounted to B93.000 shares. Bonds were firm, with further heaw deal. lngs in Anglo-French 5s. which closed at a slight gain, after some early heaviness.

FLORAL PROTEST MADE HAnTBORXB DISTRICT SATS LAU RELHTJRST "FUDGED." M. Lepver Declares Profeaaloaal Garden Aided In WIbbIbc Fes tival Center Award. Lv 1L Lepper, of the Hawthorne Dis trict Rose Association, which was en tered In the community conteat at the Rose Festival Center, has again Bled a protest against the award of first prize w uiureinurn as winner in the con test. Laurelhurst has won tho contest for three years in succession, and each time a protest has been made, under the leadership 'of Mr. Lepper. The accusation this year is that the roses used Friday were 'largely from the garden of H. W. Prettyman. a profes sional grower, who is not in the Lau relhurst district, and also that roses were furnished the Laurelhurst ex hlbit from the Sellwood district, by a personal iriena ol the president of the iaureinurst club. All of these assertions are denied by Ferdinand Reed, who waa chairman of the committee which handled the win ning Laurelhurst booth. Mr. Reed calls attention to the affidavits which were sworn to when tho exhibits were put in, .which themselves prevent the em ployment of roses of professional grow ers or roses from outside districts. Mrs. R. S. Stearns, who had charge of the Sellwood booth on Friday, charac terizes the accusation that the Laurel hurst booth received Sellwood roses on that day as a falsehood. J. O. Convill. who was in charge of the Festival Center, will be obliged to conduct an investigation on the charges made by Mr. Lepper. J. E. Werlein, president of the Haw thorne district organization, expressed himself as not desirous of stirring up trouble, but said that he believed the evidence in the case was such as to call for investigation.

An informal meeting of the old volunteers waa held last night. It was FACTS Alexander Hamilton, commenting, on December 24, 1S01. on Jefferson's mrs sagrt, said: "The improvement of the communications between the different parts of our country is an object well worthy of the National purse, and one which will abundantly repay to labor the portion of lis earnings, which may have been borrowed for the purpose. To provide roads and bridges Is in the direct purview of the Constitution." No one has been found to dissent from this view given by one of the great figures of the Revolutionary period, and today authorities on the subject unite in insisting that roads should be hard surfaced with BITULITHIC Warren Bros. Company. Portland, Or. decided to tender to M Ivor f?r1lAr alT the assistance possible in the way of arranging a model department. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND. June 12.
