QUOTATIONS BREAK
Wheat Drops 2 to 4 Cents at
Merchants' Exchange.
DECREASE MADE IN SALES
Reports Indicate Eight or Ten Mil
ion Bushels of Wheat Changed
Hands During Latter Part of
"Last Week in This Section.
TThs first break In tne general advance
tn wheat quotations, since the price started
aky-rocketlnj the first of last week, oc
curred yesterday In the Portland market.
A drop of from 2 to 4 cents for the different-
grades of wheat was recorded at the
noon session of the Merchants Exchange
and the general tendency was for a weaker
market- The drop here was to a great ex
tent Influenced by the reports of a declin
ing market In Chicago.
Combined with the drop tn quotations
cams reports from the country of sv general
decrease . In sales. Much Inquiry was re
ported from holders of wheat relative to
price and there seemed to U ft general
tendency to let go However, there was
general disinclination on the part of deal
ers to purchase owing to the uncertainty
at the situation. Borne difficulty was also
experienced by buyers and sellers In get
ting together on a satisfactory price owing
to the unsettled condition of the market.
Testerdaya drop In quotations at the
Merchants Exchange was as follows for the
different grades of wheat: Blueatem, 2c;
.fortyfold, 4o; club, 2c; red fife, 2o, and red
Hubs lan, 8c The bid price was: Blueatem.
1.12; fortyfold, $1.07; club, $1.06; red fife,
1.06, and red Russian, $1.05.
Reports coming from the interior Indicate
that probably 8.000. OOO or 10,000,000 bushels
of wheat changed hands during the ns
lng prices of the latter part of last week In
Oregon, Washington and Idaho. One dealer
elone declares he purchased 6.000,000 bush
els and others made heavy purchases.
The wheat market was unusually active
. In Pendleton, Walla Walla, Spokane and
other large grain centers of the Interior.
A report coming from Walla Walla under
date of Saturday, August 6, says of the
sales there:
"Close to a million bushels of this year's
crop of wheat, or nearly a fourth of the es
timated total, were sold here the past four
days, -today's (Saturday's) sales alone total
lng about a quarter million bushels. Prices
ranged from 97 cents to $1.00. Most of this
wheat is still unthreshed and was contract
ed for late September delivery. This was
the biggest day's activity In the wheat mar
ket in many months."
. What the future of the wheat market
here will be Is a question which Is caus
ing a great deal of uncertainty. . Probably
the general feeling is that another rise will
follow and that quotations will go still
higher. However, some dealers point out
that the quotations here are still so high
as to make the, shipment of wheat East
practically prohibitory owing to the high
freight rates wblch must be paid. They also
declare that much of the wheat sent from
the Pacific States Is discounted because
prices prevailing there are on the basis of
the hard wheat grown in what Is known as
the Northwest States and Canada.
Samples of wheat grown in the Pacific
.section, which have been received, are
found to weigh unusually heavy. Practically
none of It la -below 68 pounds to the bushel
end the greater part is above that, some
going as high as 62 pounds. A weight of
&8 pounds Is considered good.

prices remain nominally the same. Last
year's hops can be bought at around 8 to 10
cents and contracts for the new crop are
said to be available at from 10 to 11
cents.
Weather conditions In Oregon have thus

crop. The vines are reported to have armed
out well and to be blooming to the ends
of the arms.
Some vermin Is reported, but unless un

the majority of them being supplied until
the end of the old season and possibly
longer. New crop Coast hops are said to
have been offered to brewers at 15 cents
for October and November delivery.
The Hop Reporter for August 1 says:
"Western advices report no particular
change In the general situation. Business
Is very dull, but prices hold steady and
growers are not offering concessions. The
crop news continues favorable. Indications
point to a normal yield. The foreign mar
kets are also quiet.
. It Is estimated that there are 25,000 bales
of last year's crop left on the Pacific
Coast.

gains of 1 to 2 points. The only other fea

extreme gain of 8 hi . Special favorites of
recent months, including munitions and
equipments, were apathetic with speculative
Interest at low ebb.
News pertaining to market conditions was
mostly encouraging, but failed to rouse the
list from Its stupor. Expectations of a
speedy settlement of the local car strike
were preceded by general firmness In trac
tions, and the large sales of copper re
ported at or near 26 cents per pound had
a hardening effect on the metal group.
Ralls were completely unresponsive to the
further gains shown In Western tonnage and
shortage of cars for crop-moving purposes.

The only foreig-n feature was contained in
the British trade report for July. Imports

creased by almost $60,000,000. The state
ment was without bearing upon the local
market for foreign exchange, which, ruled at
last week's final quotations, except francs,
which were a trifle easier. The bond mar
ket was equally listless with stocks,
prices of some speculative Issues showing
slight concessions. Internationals, particu

Top Quotations Go to f 9.75- RceJpta
Are Resry and Many Sales
. At Blade. .
An advance of 85 centa in the price paid
for hogs was the outstanding feature of the
livestock market at the Portland Union
Stockyards yesterday. This sensational ad
vance was the greatest recorded in months
and placed top quotations at $9.75. The high
quotation on hogs was caused by the light
receipts, the heavy - demand and the keen
competition experienced.
The day's business was an exceDtlonallv
large one. a large number of cattle In nar-
tlcuiar changing hands. Cattle were a shsde
lower and the quotations on sheep remained
the ume.
Receipts during the day were 10S cattle.
1154 hogs and 1458 sheep, a total of B5 car
loads.

CHICAGO, Aug. 7. Selling oy holders who
feared that the Government crop report to
morrow would not make as bullish selling as
the trade had bean led to believe had much
to do today with weakness In the wheaf
market. Prices, although unsettled at the
close, were lo to S" net lower, with Sep

oats off to to 1 VI a. In nrovislons. the out.
come varied from 2o to So decline to a rise
of 2 a.
Liberal enlargement of the United States'
visible supply total emphasised gossip that
foreigners were Inclined to slow down on
purchases temporarily to await the Issuance
of the Government crop figures at Wash
ington. It seemed that a majority oi deal
ers here felt very uncertain also as ti
wh.thM- KnlllMli forecasts or tne uovera
ment report would be borne out, and that the
safest course was to even up trades so as
to prepare for a possible surprise.
PrnvUbm averaced higher with hogs. De
mand, though, was light and lard and ribs
finished weak.
