THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 27, 1916. OATS MARKET GAINS Bids at Local Exchange Are Advanced Another Quarter. NO SELLING IN COUNTRY TVar Prospects in Mexico and Firm ness of California Barley Are Fac tors in Strengthening of Mar ket AVheat la Steady. Ther was another advanca of & quarter In t-tie local oats market yestordar. The proapecta for war with Mexico ia on of tha main factora tn the .strength of the market, and another is the firmness of barley in California. There were rumora In the trade yesterday that small amounts me otti had already bean taken by the Government. 6 ell era In the country have practically withdrawn from the market. "Wheat bids at the Merchants Exchange fwre unchanged from Saturday. Crop pros pects have been greatly Improved by the plendld rains that have fallen In all parts of the Inland Empire. Now that they are Assured of a new crop, farmers are more disposed to sell some of their old wheat. The demand Is limited to a few odds and nda requirements. Nothing can -be done with California by water, either In wheat or flour, owing to the dock strike. Rail freights to the southern half of California are prohibitive. Emergency shipments can be made to Northern California by rail, but these are being cut down to the min imum, owing to the additional cost, the rail rate being- against the normal water rate of $2.50. There was a better feeling in the Eastern market, the stimulation coming from crop damage reports and Mexican war news. The Improvement in the European markets was offset by the strengthening of Atlantic freights. The United States visible wheat supply ts 42.647,000 bushels, a decrease of 600,000 bushels; corn, 7.76S.00O bushels, decrease It. 859.000 bushels; oats, 14.06,000 bushels, decrease 47U.00O bushels. North American exports last week in cluded 440.000 bushels of corn and 3.700,000 tiushels of oats. John Inglis estimates the crop of the "Winter wheat states In the Middle West ca follows: Oklahoma, 25,000,000 bushels; Kansas, 105, 4V0,OGO bushels; Ohio, 24,000,000 bushels; Indiana, 27.000,000 bushels; Illinois, 23.000, (i0 bushels; Missouri, 20,000,000 bushels; Michigan, 13.000,000 bushels total of 305, C' 00,000. compared with last year's produc tion of 401.000,000 bushels.. Foreign crop conditions, according to Uroomhall, are as follows: United Kingdom The general appearance of crops Is promising, and Spring seeding fair. Fodder crops excellent. The weather continues unseasonably cool and warmth is most desirable. France Winter crops promise well and the outlook for Spring crops improving moderately, but weather is against best developments, as warmth is needed and acreage will be fully 3,500,000 acres under normal. Officials have revised their re jioit of May l, but changes are not im portant, but less favorable, Germany All reports available confirm unfavorable weather, being cool and wet. liye is thought to be in a poor condition. Russia Generally all advices are favora ble as to growing conditions, but acreage will be much under normal. Stocks large but little moving. India ryness continues and harvesting Is progressing rapidly. Estimates of yield and quality are being lowered. Wheat offers held above the market. Argentina Weather favors planting and acreage will be fully 10 per cent over last year. Stocks large, but wheat offers held above the market. Australia Weather continues wet over an important area, tnd the general agricultural outlook Is promising, but acreage will be 10 to 15 per cent under last year and perhaps more. Balkan States Crop promise generally fair, but weather unfavorable. Greece re ports unfavorable promise, with stocks dan gerously low and business stagnant Terminal receipts. In cars, were reported oy the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat. Bar. Fir. Oats.

Recrulate According to a roport which comes to the Commerce Department from Barcelona, un der a law passed last year the Spanish gov ernment is f-rnpowered, when circumstances warrant, to reduce temporarily customs duties on foodstuffs, to acquire and sell such merchandise, and to adopt any meas tires that may be deemed expedient In rele tlon to vessels flying the Spanish flag. Recently, as a result of the lowering- of the stock of wheat In a province of South m Spain, the government requisitioned i cargo of 6000 tons of wheat en route from Argentina to Spain. Under the direction of the governmental authorities, the ship ordered to proceed at once to the port where the bread shortage was threatened. Under the plan adopted with reference to the shipment of wheat, the cargo was placed at the disposal of a millers association at 2.94 per 100 lbs., with the obligation that the millers sell the flour at S3. 92 per lOO pounds. By reducing the freight cost the expecta tion Is that the net cost of the wheat will not exceed the amount fixed as the gov ernment's selling- price therefor. In addition to this, the consignees to whom the wheat -was originally shipped will be Indemnified by the government.

LIST CARRIED DOWN Stocks Lower Under Much Pressure to Sell. MEXICAN CRISIS IS CAUSE Investment Shares as Well as Specu lative Issues Suffer Heavily in Bay's VnloadingCorn Prod ucts Order Also Factor. NEW YORK, June 2. Las week's liqui dation was resumed on a broader basis to day, the movement being one of almost steady declines, with some slight recovery at the close. The Mexican situation was again the par amount factor, although other developments, such as the Federal Court order directing the dissolution of the Corn Products Refin in g Company and less optimism regarding crop prospects helped to bring; about the general shrinkage of values. Corn Products common, on an extraordi nary large overturn, made an extreme de cline of 5 to 13 H, with 11 for the pre ferred at 85. Mexicans averaged losses of 2 to 4 points, with 6 for Petroleum. Motor and the war group were 2 to 8 points down, with 9H for Bethlehem Steel before it re bounded. United States Steel menifescted actual heaviness for the firs time In weeks, de clining hi to 82 with but little recovery. coppers and tne zinc snares were nen. weak, and shipping Issues were again adversely influenced by rumors of further reauctions In ocean-going rates. cm tea States Industrial Alcohol added SH to Its lfii-polnt depreciation of the preceding week. The weakness of standard rails, particu larly Reading, which was also the most ac tive feature, was perhaps the most discon certing feature of the session. Offerings of these stocks were most insistent, Reading at its worst stowing a loss of 5H points. Other coalers, Canadian Pacific, boo. Union Pacific, New Haven and Southern Railway preferred receded 1 to 2 points. Total sales of stocks amounted to 670.UOO shares. The Atchison system reported a net in crease of $1,534,000 for May, giving especial point to tne continued nign pressure oi Western freight movement, whicn snowed general gains of 10 to 15 per cent over last week. In the exchange markets, the only notice able change was the greater firmness of rates on Paris, foreshadowing the comple tion of the new French loan by our bankers. Bonds were heavy with general selling of the more speculative issues. Total pales, par value, $2,720,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High.

Largely as a re. suit closing quotations, although unsettled were w to "He net higher, with July al $1.01 and September at $1.04. Corn finished unchanged at o up, oats varying trora e decline to V4o advance, and pro visions at a rise of 7o to 20c coarse grains were strengthened bv an improved demand from shippers. Including export sales ot bushels of corn and 2.0,OK bushels or oats. It was said 1.500. 00O bushels of corn would bo shipped from nero tnis weeK. Higher temperatures, though, acted somewhat as a bearish off set on corn. Excellent crop reports made ths bulls timid regarding oats. Highest prices of tho season reached for pork and ribs ("bacon).

PEXDIfflTON', Or.. June 26. (Spe ciai.j iwo automoDiies were over turned, one. car was thrown in a ditch and Edward Williams sustained broken shoulder bone as & result automobiles skidding on the slippery roads yesterday. None of the cars was damaged to any extent. Whil coming down the grade from BIngrham Springs the Dos Swearing-en car skidde over the bank, pinnlns beneath it tb five occupants. Mr. Williams was the only one injured. It required two horses considerable time to extract the John Mumm ma chine from a ditch into which it had skidded. Many who started toward the mountains were stuck in the deep mud. The condition of the road after the heavy rainfall made driving very dan gerous and many serious accidents were narrowly averted. SURVEYING WORK PUSHED Straliorn Road From Silver Iaake to Klamath Falls Likely. KL.UfATH FALLS, Or., June 26. (Special.) The surveying party en gaged In running the lines for Robert E. Strahorn's proposed railway system, the Oregon, California & Eastern Rail way, on the stretch between Silver Lake and this city, is now reported working south of Yainax, or more than half way to this city. As a result, there is much speculation in that sec tion, for the people now believe that the route is being seriously considered. It will be only a comparatively short time before the surveying party reaches Klamath Falls. The most difficult portion of the stretch to work on account of the topography of the country has been passed. The remainder of the survey is practically over level country and will be made. It Is expected, in a very short time. S 455 T5; HOG MARKET HIGHER Light Run of Stock at North Portland Yards.

CONVICTED MAN SCORED Arsonist gets verbal lashing AXD IS PAROLED TO MINISTER. Charles McDanirla la Told Bla Conduct Is More Perfidious Than Asso ciates Now In Prison. Though Circuit Judge McGinn toM Charles McDaniels that his conduct was more to be condemned than tnat of Hugh Priest or Thomas Patterson, now In the Penitentiary for arson, he extended a parole to McDaniels yaster day. owing to the strong appeal mad for the convicted man by Rev. W. O. MacLaren. of the Prisoners' Aid 6o. cietv. A sentence of from one and half to five years was inflicted and th man paroled to Rev. Mr. MacLaren. McDaniels was round guilty of an attempt to commit arson, in connection with th lire in tne university eningi mill of the L. B. Menefee Lumber Com pany. February 16. 1915. "This ts the laast chance you will ever eTet," Judge McGinn told the convicted man. "There isn't a laboring man in the city who believes in labor and Its advancement who would Justify your conduct. Ion and your associates came over here with an unlawful purpose toward the Menefee mills. You had it In your mind to do a wrong: to a com pany which never did you any wrong. The only harm it ever did was to try to provide you and your associate with work. "Your conduct has been nerfldlous throughout." Jndge McGinn continued. That of Patterson and Priest shines by comparison with yours. You were perfidious with your employers. You were perfidious with Patterso and Priest. You were perfidious with the District Attorney, who permitted you to go providing you would return when he wanted you." Judge McGinn further declared that me penitentiary crusnes out or a man all the good that can possibly be in him. and that, combined with the a peal of Rev. Mr. MacLaren, who "made himself almost a hostage for McDan- lels if l would release him to him made an "Irresistible plea for a parole.
