WHEAT MARKET STEADIER Crop Conditions in Pacific Nortlnvesi Sreatly Improved by Recent I Itain Weather Condi- " - tions Factor in East. The oats and barley markets have be come stronger at alt points on the Coast, as It is believed the Government will re quire a considerable supply of these feed cereals on the border and In Mexico. No Army orders have been Issued for supplies other than those already contracted for, so far as known, but traders look for buylns for this account before long;. For the pres cnt It is likely the quartermaster's depart ment will be amply supplied with feed stuffs previously ordered sent to the regit lar Amy posts, which will be delivered to border points. Although the oats market has gained in strength, there has been no speculative trad ing; in the country. Oats holders are still willing; to sell at $26. At the Merchants Exchange $23.50 and 925.75 was bid, prices 25 to 75 cents over the offers of the pre ceding; day. No barley is being; offered for sale here, but at San Francisco futures were higher. California, barley can be laid down in Portland at practically $28. There was no trading in wheat. Prices at the Exchange averaged a cent higher, in re sponse to the Chicago advance. The rain has improved the Northwestern crop fully 5 per cent. In some parts of Oregon the gain Is estimated at 15 per cent. Broomhall takes a bearish view' of the fu ture of the wheat market. He says in his weekly international review: "Market ruled weak and further decline was caused by American and Canadian re ceipts and continued heavy arrivals in the United Kingdom "Notwithstanding the recent sharp decline It is still difficult to resist the conviction that supplies everywhere are too large to warrant expectations of an advance. "Wet weather accompanying American harvest of Winter wheat or damage to Spring wheat might turn the market up ward, but otherwise can see no likelihood cf a sustained advance in the near future. "It Is still believed that the chief hope of holders Is the revival of the Continental de mand and at present this is apathetic, with export offers large and foreign arrivals liberal, "The freight situation Is being adjusted, with Great Britain's floating tonnage large, and freights still look unreasonably high as compared with wheat values." Bradstreet's estimates the visible wheat decrease at 2,250,000 bushels, the corn de creaso at 2,555,000 bushels and the oats de crease at 2,605,000 bushels. The French official crop report places the oats acreage this year at 7,51S,000, against a normal acreage of 0,880,000. Terminal receipts in cars were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Parley Flour Oats Hay Portland Tues. 1 1 10 Year ago 7 Soai'n to date 10,41ft Year ago 16,509 Tacoma Mon 17 Year ago 6 eas'n to date 7.106 Year ago 9.175 Seattle Hon Yenr ago 7 5asn to date 7.971 Year ago..... 7.S(10- 1 1524 1011 ;s 111S 2013 4 425 679 "b nsfl 1279 0 1020 1SS8 26; 2115 3 1 2394 625 5-0 4 7 3 4374 -4752 1459 ll.ift 2127 2402 SHORT PACK OF CAN'D PEAS "Net and Cold Weather Retard Crop in East. There will bo a short pack of canned peas this year, according to reports from the big producing sections in New York, Wisconsin, Michigan. Indiana and the South. Long periods of heavy rain and cold weather have checked growth and planting. In some parts cf Wisconsin and New York a considerable acreage has been plowed up. The est! mates on the acreage planted in Wisconsin figure from 25 to 30 per cent less. A New York state authority reports: "It Is not too strong to put it that state pack ers are seriously alarmed over the outlook for neas, corn, string beans and tomatoes. The area from Utlca to Buffalo is soaked with water and much of the land under cultivation is six weeks backward. It la impossible to estimate the probable crop, but many packers are declining to quote prices on stock for either spot or future delivery." Wisconsin advices say more than 20 pack era have withdrawn from the market. In the South canners have advanced from 5 to T cents a dozen on 1916 crop under es timates of from 35 to 40 per cent reduction. Cost of raw product is $1.50 a bushel com pared with 50 cents last year. ATLANTIC FREIGHT RATES TECLIE Commodity Markets Influenced by Tariffs. lower Feveral commodity markets have been more or less influenced by an Increased supply of freight room and a consequent reduction in freight .rates, says a news bulletin issued by Renskorf, Lyon & Co., of New York. Coffee has declined and cotton has had an advance in this country as a result of the improvement In the freight situation, but so far sugar has not responded by any decline. The fact that the stand taken by this country has checked the activity of the German submarines has Improved the freight situation and reduced insurance rates. There has been a large fleet that was tied up by ice In North Russian waters released and the allies have turned back into commercial life many boats that have leen used as transports. It looks as if during the Summer freight congestion at the ports will be. In a great measure, re lieved and this Is bound to benefit gen erally American business.

LOSSES ABE MADE UP General Recovery Occurs in Wall-Street Stock Market. BUYING IS SUBSTANTIAL Sliort Covering Aids in Upturn In Prices Fl actuations in Foreign Exchange Reflect Latest Mili tary Developments in Europe. NEW YORK, June 20. Stocks made gen eral though not complete recovery today from their heaviness of the preceding les ion. The trading element seemed less con cerned about affairs in Mexico, and prices were actually at their best immediately after publication of the State Departixrent note to the Mexican srovemment. Dealings were broader, but smaller In the aggregate, with a liberal admixture of hort covering. Reading was the active feature most of the time, with Mexican Pe troleum. Rock island, crucible steel and Mercantile Marine preferred following more or less as named. Rock Island's activity was accompanied by rumors of an approachlni agreement on the terms of capital read ustment. but the stock lost around later on inuications of lur trier delay. Mexicans as a group regained 2 to S points, Reading almost 2 points, the prom inent motors were better by 2 to 7 points. and shipping shares hi to 3. With the exception of United Fruit, which bore signs of further substantial accumulation, ttrese advances were largely effected la the re alizing movement of the final hour. War shares were variably hither for a time, particularly the equipments, but these. too, provea susceptible to realising, with coppers and zlno shares. Such Inactive Is sues as American Tobacco, Sears-Roebuck, Kayser and Woolwortfa responded to light buying based o 1 favorable trade reports. rotai saxes ex stocas amounted to 44.000 shares. Dealers in exchange accented the strength of francs and the heaviness of marks as a direct reflection of recent happenings tn the toreign war. sterling showed a slight re cession and another Installment of gold from anaaa Drougnt tn total receipts or that metal from the Dominion ud to slightly more than $65,000,000.

Harvest Operations la Winter Crop States Threatened With. Interfer- , ence Grain Sections Cold. CHICAGO, June 20. Unwelcome wet weather, both In the Southwest and the Northwest, tended' today to force up the price of wheat. Largely In consequence, ths market finished strong, to lo net higher with July at $1.03 and September at $1.05. Corn gained 11C to 141C. and oats o to epc In provisions, the outcome Taxied from Cc decline to a rise 01 20 cents. Wheat values received their greatest up ward Impetus from the fact that widespread rains threatened Interference with harvest operations in ths Winter crop states. Just befors the close, the wheat market suddenly tightened- to the highest point of he day, as a result of sellers having awak ened to the fact that one of the strongest concerns on 'change had absorbed all the surplus offerings. Reports of unseasonable low temperatures in the Northwest and of excessive moisture and a lack of sunshine there prompted additional anxiety on the part- of .the bears as the session cams to an end. Corn bulged In price owing to cold weather and too much rain. Oats were more uniformly in demand than other cereals. The strength came chiefly from believers in an increase of Army need of oats for cavalry purposes. Heavy realising sales by holders of lard and ribs caused at one time a sharp setback In provisions prices. The offerings, though, were well absorbed, and the final average of quotations showed a net gain in accord with an advance In hogs. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT.
