Newspaper Page TextTHE - MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1916. 17 HIDE PRICES AT TOP Dealers Look for No Further Advances This Season. ALL MARKETS ARE QUIET l;aftern Stocks Reduced to Mini mum, Which May Open Way lor Kevised Values on Next t Talis Take Off. TTlde prices, according to local dealers, fiave got as high as they will go this a sjn. The markets have quieted down in all sections. Kaet and West. According to the latest word from Eastern centers, stocks have been very closely cleaned up. the latest aalrs including even last Winter's long haired hides, which dealers had been carry ing in hope of getting betterrates. Because of the relatively bare condition of the domestic market there is some un certainty as to the future course of prices, and should a broader demand develop a-t the close of Hummer, values may be forced to a level, but In the meantime, there is nothing in sight to indicate a change either way in prices. Trade reports Just received from Chicago say of the Eastern situation: "There is considerable hesiUincy on the part of tanners in, buying hides and the mar ket of late on most varieties has ruled auift. (j "The only development of importance dur ing the week has been in Latin-American dry hides in the New York market, which have been pretty well cleaned up by large buyers at unchanged prices. Sales aggre gated about 70,tX of these hides, consisting mainly of, Colombians at "Uc and up to .SiitetS for mountain Bogotas; also Orinocos at Si! (4c, Puerto Cabell as, etc., at 33c. and Central Americans at 33c. About the same time as these transactions, and also a lit tle later, some export demand developed for Antioqulns and about 6000 of these were taken for shipment abroad at 3&c, which was an advance of 3.&c over' other sales of these at the same time to domestic oper ators. Business of late at the Klvcr Plate has been Interrupted by the national holi days in the Argentine. Sales were also made late last week of 17,000 frigorificos to Liverpool at 22 Vi c for best sorts of Bueilos Aires packers and -2 c to '22 c for Mon te v Id toa. "The entire domestic market rules quiet. Chicago packers have made a few sales. as most of them have not been disposed until now to offc-r July salting stock and th prices talked on these hides are too much above the views of tanners to effect any sales of account. One lot of about 5O00 June and early July heavy Texas steers sold at 2-"c and about 15,000 May and June butt brands sold at 21c. Outside of these trans actions, however, sales have been only of mall scattering lots. Some of the smaller packers In New York cleaned out several J odd lots on hand. Including 3000 native strers dating back In some instances to last Noivmbor salting at 20 'c to 21c. 'Country hides are quiet, with a variety of prices ruling according to how lota run for hair and quality, etc. Chicago buffs are ranged 30lc to -Oc. with some offerings of lots running GO per cent short hair at 19c. Some choice lots of country 'heavy steers have been sold at ic. Including two cars of JvIichiKans taken in Kc York at this price. "Calfskins show more strength thast any thing else. Some Western packers moved at as high as 3bc per pound and New York Cities sold by the pieces at S3.10 for 5 to 7 pounds. $3.00 for 7 to 9 pounds and $4.10 x for t to 12 pounds. These are now all cleaned up and for further collections dealers are demanding 5c to 10c apiece more." WHEAT FOLLOWS ClUCACKVS LEAD Local Market Is XTriu and Higher Septem ber Barley Sold. The local wheat market was strong and higher yesterday, following the lead of Chicago, where tftere was a bulge of about 3 cents on reports of damage from heat and black rust. The news from Chicago that bluestem wheat In Minnesota and the Dakotas had been more seriously at 1 ctrted than any other variety particulars interested grain men here. Still, the fact was not lost sight of that the Liverpool mar ket has not as yet responded to the numerous advances at Chicago and local grain men continue skeptical as tu the extent of the titmaga to the crop. As to the crop in the Pacific Northwest, ft is certain to be a normal one of 50,000,000 to 55.ooo.COO bushels, and with lO.OOO.OtW to 12.000.000 carry over there will be about as much wheat on hand as at the beginning or last season and with a rather poore outlet thnn a year ago. .15 ui prices on wheat averaged 1 cen higher on the Merchants' Exchange One hundred tons of September barley were sold at $S. Oats bids were raised 25 and 00 cents. Terminal receipts. In cars, were reported by th Merchants lCxchange as follows. Wheat. Bar. Kir. Oats.

A num lor of shipments came in from near-by points u f fey tod w Jtn dry rot and these could not be disposed of at over 25 cents. Several cars of cantaloupes were received and as the quality was better than previous arrivals they sold well at $2.50 and $J.25 a crate. The lemon market Is strong.- Some deal ers are now getting $ti.25 for the' 3CO size. Berries wore steady, with a moderat suppl. Cherries wore scarcer, with a good demand for Pings and Lamberts.

SMALL PART OF VALLEV CLIP SOLD Dealers Kstluiai 70 IW rent of Wool Still In ti rowers' Hands. A few lots of Valley wool have changed bands in the l.-.t few days. Buyers are now quoting 32 cents as the top price and do not appear to be making strong efforts tc t further supplies. The explanation of the reduction in bid? a compared with prices offered eaxlier In the season is the heavier shrinkage of thia ypar'a Valley wools. A good part of th clip was shorn, in rainy weather and much of the wool now in warehouse is still wet. Buyers insist on making allowance for this dded weight In purchasing-. It is estimated that not over 30 per cent of the Valley clip has been sold to date. Bank Clearings. Bank: clearings of the Northwestern cities yesieraay were as iouowa: Clearinjrs.

The recent rains have Insured at least $100, OVO additional value to crops of the lower Rojrue Valley. Over an McH and a hair of moisture fell in two days, saving hundreds Of acres of beets. Apples, peaches, pears and grapes have increased in size, their color is better. Neither the grain hay nor the sec ond cupttlrg of alfalfa was damaged. The apple crop is normal, with -the price excellent and stable. Pears have made an unusually fine showing. Many growers have already sold for from 2 to 3 per box, which will net a fine profit. Others are selling for $1.25 a fcor cn the trees. Cherries have been profitable in the liogo district, Blngs keeping a steady price of 15 cents In the local market, while much of the prize fruit was sent to San Kraneisco, where it was in dividually wrapped in cotton and sold in Honolulu at SI a pound. The Josephine County grape output prob ably will be about 12 cars. Indications point to an unusually high price, as the California crop of Tokays Is quoted as be ing practically a tenure.

OTHER SPECIALTIES STEADY Munitions and Motors Add to Pre vious Day's GainsRailway List Is Inactive Alcohol Turn over Is Heavy. NEW YORK, July 20. Foreign advices contributed largely to such uncertain ten dencies as were shown at Irregular intervals by today's market. Announcement of the intention of the. British treasury to levy a war tax of 77 per cent on excess profits of the shipping companies under its Jurisdiction precipitated a sharp break almost at the outset in Mercantile Marines, tha preferred recording an extreme decline of 7 points with S for the common, weaaness oi uimo par ticular stocks was the more striking from the fact that other shipping shares, immune from British rule, were unusually strong. Atlantic Gulf and West Indies common and preferred made new high records at 6 and 5, respectively, and United Fruit also regained more oi last ween s oocnne. Trading in marines was Out of all propor tion to other dealings, although the turnover in United States Industrial Alconoi ana cru cible Steel was unusually heavy. Alcohol was again a moat uncertain feature, making a maximum gain of 4K points, losing more than half on closing at a net advance of 2 points. Munitions in general, as wen as me raoion and affiliated equipments, were plainly a is posed to augment yesterday's recoveries. when not under direct pressure. The most disappointing feature was the apathy of the railway list, the Pacific group showing marked heaviness, with irregularity in other standard snares. Total sales of bonds, par value, SI. 890.000. United States bonds were unchanged on call, but the coupon 4s declined per cent on actual sales. CLOSING 8TOCK QUOTATIONS. Clo.lnc Sal.fc High. Low. bid.

DISCRIMINATION IS CHARGED California Hop Men Complain of Lower Rates From Northwest. , WASHINGTON, July 20.

The Callfornians contend the suspension discriminates against them. Coffee Futures Are Steady. NEW YORK. July 20. The coffee mar ket opened steady and unchanged to 2 points lower and displayed very little fea ture throughout the day, although tt acted steady and at times wit a little higher than the previous -slight, mainly on local, cover ing and scattered obtslde buying, due to the continued strength of Brazilian mar kets. The latter was thought to be In fluenced by direct European buying, as the demand from this country has been rather light.
