Newspaper Page TextTHE MORXING OREGOXIAy. TlTDlTSD AY, - " " AUGUST 10, 1916. " 19 RECORD IS BROKEN Wheat Prices Go to Highest Point This Season. RISE IN FLOUR EXPECTED Blue st era Quotations Reached $1.15 at the Merchants' Exchange Yes terday AH Other Grades Show Good Advance- Quotations on wheat broke all records tnls season at the Portland Merchants' Exchange 'yesterday when the bid price for bluestem r jumped to $1.15 a bushel. This is one cent higher than the quotations tor that grrade . of wheat on last Saturday, the previous rec ord day for wheat quotations. .Advances in prices were also scored on .all other grades of wheat, prices quoted pranging from 26 to ZV cents higher than on Tuesday. Bluestem advanced 3 cents, fortyfold 34 cents, and all other grades . 2 hi cents. .... . Prices- bid at the exchange were: Blue- tem, $1.15; fortyfold, 41.12; club, 91.10; tred fife. S1.10: red Russian, 1.09. The rise in wheat quotations in Portland mas influenced almost entirely by the phe nomenal advance In Chicago, where wheat 'lor September delivery closed at $1.44 and -for December delivery at $1.48. . The quo tations in Chicago showed an advance of -fcxnore than 10 cents over the quoted price for the 'preceding day. The wheat market yesterday to sv cer "taln extent regained the activity which it lost with the slump in prices Monday. 'Wheat., sales were to a certain extent re tarded, however, by the uncertainty of the market. There was some Inclination on the Iart of the farmers to hold for higher prices and, on the other hand, there was a slight disinclination among some dealers to purchase at tl going price for fear the rapid advance in quotations would be fol lowed by a. Blum p. In spite of this, how ever, a. good run of business was reported from the various wheat centers, although probably the day's sales would not be so ereat as the transactions in " wheat re- " corded on any of .he three last days of last , week, when there was a steadily advancing market. - . " A. feature of the situation yesterday was ..the announcement made by millers that any '"further advance in wheat quotations would . probably necessitate an advance in the price of flour. A 120 -cent advance in flour" was ..made with the advancing wheat markets last week and at that time It was predicted ..that further advances would be found neces- ary. - The flour market continues firm at the - present prices and there is a good business -reported. There is no likelihood of any advances In quotations on feed within the next few 'days, millers reported yesterday. The feed market is steady and firm with a good run of business. In case wheat should mater- ' tally advance, however, it Is probable that advances in feed quotations would also be found necessary. What the future of the wheat " market Twill be is still a quest! dn for a great deal f diversity of opinion among wheat men. Borne even go so far as to predict a price of $1.25 within the near future. Such a possibility, however, is scouted by the more conservative, who declare present conditions do not' warrant iR There is a general ten dency, however, among wheat men to be optimistic for good prices as a result of the bullish nature of the Government crop re port 'issued Tuesday. While the advance in wheat was not big ' In Portland, reports were that local inter rsts were, in some instances, actually offer--ing, advances of from 5 to 6 cents over previous prices at interior points. Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Portland, Wed.. 7 .... 7 1 13 Tear ago....... 30 1 2 3 o feason to date. .3SS III 22S 211 1U0 Tear ago 071 67 110- .

Brazilian Coffees, Predictions of an advance and the general strengthening of the coffee market have proven correct insofar as Brazilian coffees are concerned. The bears In the coffee world maintained that Brazil would not be able to hold her coffees and get a reasonable price for -them -end that as soon as coffees began to come Into Santos the market Would break. New crop cofrees have been coming In for two . ttionths and the market has not dropped, but is Just as firm, or even more so, than at the opening of the new crop. The state of ao Paulo is regulating the amount of cof tfee that is allowed to come to tidewater, and in this way, so far. prices have been -well maintained and coffees are averaging 5 cents more a pound in cost than at this time last year. What the eventual outcome will be as regards the maintaining of present prices is dtfficult to foretell. There are many who -absolutely believe that a break Is bound to come, and many others are buying coffee Jn enormous quantities at today's prices, "anticipating a further advance. A factor - that will certainly determine future prices is what the blockade will accomplish as re gards shipments of coffee to the Scandi navian countries and how much coffee the .allies will pormlt to be shipped to these countries. The bears malnatin that these shipments whl be curtailed to such an ex tent that only -enough coffee for the actual requirements of the Scandinavian countries will be permitted to pass the blockade, and they Insist that it such be the case prices must come down On the other hand, the . bulls say that much coffee will be shipped and will get by the blockade, and also in sist that the war will shortly end and then ' there will be an enormous demand for cof fee, and, 'comparatively Bpeaklng, ample fa cilities for getting it to market and a big advance in prices all around. - It may be said today that, generally speaking, coffees are higher than they were a. month ago. No coffees have receded in price, and Brazilian coffees have advanced. Such, coffees as get to. the continent of Eu rope from the Orient are bringing from 60 .to 75 per cent more than they would sell for In this market, evidently showing that stocks are low and that any price will be paid to get the goods. It is practically agreed among all cof fee men that with the end of the war cof--fee prices will go up, and coffee Is one of the peculiar foodstuffs that has oftentimes gone up when other foodstuffs have de clined. .GRA1X BAGS HOY FN G Ei GOOD SHAPE Market Remains Strong, Influenced by Rise in Calcutta. A good business in grain bags is now be ing done in the local market and quotations remain firm a,t the present prices. No phe nomenal trade Is reported, but there is a steady movement of bags, indicating a. healthy stat of the market. - Indications are that the market will continue strong, as the Palouse country and other sections, it is said, have not yet begun to purchase -bags. The heavy purchase of burlap at Calcutta by the British Government has made high prices prevail there. This, to a great ex-" tent, effects a strengthening of the local market in bags. CASABAS MAKE THEER APPEARANCE Shipments of Turkish Melons Also Received on Front Street, Casabas made their appearaaee on Front street yesterday. They were or good qual ity and were quoted at from 2 to 2i cents . a pound. Some shipments of Turkish mel ons were also received, the opening quota tions on them being $2.50 to $2.7 a hun dred. California peaches are now coming 1st In good quantities and a strong market Is re ported, with prices ranging from 75 to 5 cents. There wae a brisk- trada in a fine grade of apricots. Quotations were from 90 cents to $1.10 A small quantity of Oregon eggplant was 'WBlve. prices oeing 8 to 10 cents. A good ucuxmuu was reported lor watermelons, : Bank Clearings Increase.

Its best price since January last, steel and kindred Issues were materially assisted by trade reports. Shipping shares formed the foundation of the forenoon's rise. Marine preferred adding 1 points to yesterday's gain of 5. with a rise oi 214 for Atlantic Gulf and West Indies to 66, a new record. Munitions and equipments, while less conspicuous than In their boom periods, were appreciably higher. Paper share. were again responsive to the wide demand for the manufactured product.
