THE' MORXIXG OREGOMA5, TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1916. WHEAT TRADE HALTS Slump at Chicago Stops Buy ing in Northwest. LOCAL BIDS ARE REDUCED Buyers Temporarily Withdraw From Market--Threatened. Strike Is Chief Influence at This i Time Sales Estimated. Tha excitement that has prevailed Id th Northwestern wheat market for the past 1 0 day subsided yesterday, at least temporarily. The 5-cent slump in the Chi cago) market brought buying to a sudden atop In this territory. Early in the morn ing offers were out at Saturday's level, but when word came of the downturn In the Kast the buyers quickly withdrew from th market. The Chicago break was ascribed mainly to the more serious strike situation. 6ome of the larger buyers in the Northwest, fear ing this turn, slowed down in their opera tions at the close of last week.' The bids that were put out yesterday afternoon were revised in line with the now Chicago prices, and the reduction naturally checked of ferings by farmers.

It is probable that a few export sales have been made, but iy lax the larger part of the business was for accour.i of mills in the East. Jlids at the Merchants' Exchange were tint reduced as much as might have been exjpected. Offers for bluestem were lowered to i4 cents, but fortyfold bids were only cut 1 cent and club was unchanged.

Corral lis Orchard, 25 Year Old, Will Produce 20,000 Bushels New Drier Is Being Built. CORVA12.XS, Aug. 14. (Special.) Ben ton County has one of the largest prune orchards in the world and will soon have the largest drying plant. The orchard and drier are owned by Kobert Johnson, of Corvallis, and Isadore Jacobs, of- Portland. The orchard Is twenty-five years old, con tains 100 acres, and Is located five miles north ot Corvallis. A conservative esti mate for this year's crop is 20.000 bushels, which will produce 400,000 pounds of the dried product. When this big orchard had Us first big crop there was no drier large enough to handle it. 8o. Mr. Johnson planned one himself, a monster steam affair with 10 "tunnels" 00 feet long, capable of holding 2000 bushels of prunes at one time. It contains 15.000 feet of steam pipes and was built at a cost of $5000. The drier now being built works on the hot air prin ciple. It is 46x60 and -has 12 prune tun nels 22 feet long. It will cost $4000. Four other driers are being built within a radius of six miles of Corvallis, and ex perts estimate that the territory tributary to this city will produce this sear 2.000,000 pounds of dried prunes.

Reading; is Strongest Feature in Rail, war 1.1st Sharp Advance in Bethlehem Steel. XEW TORK. Aug. 14. To those who assumed. that the market would be seriously Influenced or restrained by the pending crisis in the railway labor situation, today's session must have come as a surprise. Trading lacked the breadth and vigor of recent sessions, but was sufficiently large and diversified to embrace an unusual variety of issues. ' Except for the first hour, when the un dertone was somewhat uncertain, prices in the main ruled variably above last week's final quotations. Advices from Washing ton, the seat of the labor conferences, were received with interest and for some un. definable reason Wall street was generally of the opinion at the end of the lay that existing differences would be overcome. Reading was the outstanding feature, dealings in that stock being larger than the combined transactions in United States Steel, Mercantile Marine preferred and sev eral of the coppers. Reading made an extreme advance of three points to 1044.. yielding 1H at the close. Other issues of pronounced strenrth included Bethlehem Steel, wnich rose 16 points to 4)0 on a fairly active turnover, with nine for the preferred; Industrial Alcohol and the mora prominent metals, which manifested a con tinuance ef last week's belated demand, and the Mexican group. Munitions and equipments were repre sented by Crucible Steel. Baldwin locomo tive American Car.

International Paper preferred and Union Bag A Paper preferred, the two last named losing 2 to 2 S points. Zinc shares were backward cn the relatively poor quarterly . statement of tbs Butts a. Superior Company. Total sales of stocks amounted to 410. 000 shares. Private dispatches from tbs West in dicated further apprehension regarding the crop outlook, but leading railways reported substantial gains In tonnage over the cor responding period last year.

BILLS PAYABLE FEWER IIN-LAXD EMPIRE BANKING AFFECT ED BY HIGH WHEAT. Biff Bend .and Palo ace Districts Are More Prosperous Than for Many Tears. SPOKANE. Wash., Auff. 14. 'While farmers In Earners Washington, Northern and Central Idaho and Northeastern Ore son have sold millions of bushels of wheat at prices ranging from 95 cents to $1.12 a bushel. It Is believed that a good percentage of this season's crop will be held for a hlfrher market." R. Lewis Rutter. president of the Spo kane 4k Eastern Trust Company, said this today in reviewing the financial. Industrial and commercial situation of the Inland Umpire, adding: "W. E. Hanson. State Bank Examiner, who arrived in Spokane today from a trip through Eastern Washington, reports that the crop outlook is much better than a month ago. saying also that bills payable at the country' banks are less than a year ago. This would indicate that the farmers and others are paying their bills with money received from the sale of grain and other farm products. Mr. Hanson says that the Big Bend and Palouse districts are more prosperous than In years and that the out look was never brighter. "The grain yield in Washington will not be as large as In 1915, on account of Sum mer fallowing- following the record crop last year, but -reports from our correspond ents Indicate that the acre production will be as large If not larger as In any year. Favorable conditions during July and so far this month have put all kinds of grain, par ticularly wheat, well to the front and there is every reason for the statement that the acre yield will not be under the average. "Records of 80 to 40 bushels of wheat to the acrs are not unusual this year; In fact, we have an authenticated report of a field of 2uO acres averaging; 00 bushels. This Is on part of a 1000-acre farm owned and operated by Reed Jonas, near Dayton. This grain is a natural hybrid, kAown as coppel wheat, which shows unusually plump heads, averaging 72 grains. "Present prices of wheat mean much to the farmers of , the Inland Empire. Last year the state of Washington produced fully 5 per cent of all the wheat grown In the United States. Most of this yield came from within a radius of 150 miles west and south of Fpokane. The average last year was uxfus-ually- largre, but prices were fairly rood. However. mora than 12.000.000 bushels were carried over. Some of the 1914 crop mas also held In expectation of higher prices, which are now belns; realized, large 1 v due to the demands from Great Britain. France and Italy." Mr. Rutter says that the lumber Industry Is strengthening and that prices are better than In five or six years. Many of the mills are working- day and night. Standing tim ber, however, is not moving very rapidly. Active mining. which continues at hifrh pressure. Is reflected hy better conditions in foundries and machine shops. The packing houses and paper mills also are increasing their volume of output and arras gleg to enlnrge their plants. General merchandise shows gains of frnm 15 to 25 per cent vr a year ago. The wholesnle houses In the Spokane territory are also making satisfactory gains. There are a million clerks and office em ployes la .France. WHEAT LOSS SEVERE Liquidation Carries Prices Down 5 Cents at Chicago. PROFIT-SELLING IS HEAVY Possibility of Kail road Strike and Bearish Canadian Crop Reports Are Depressing: Factor -Foreigners Sell at Winnipeg-. CHICAGO. Aug. 14. Whtat dev.lop.4 msrksd vesknaaa today oa stop loss orders and liquidation. Possibility of a railroad strike, th. Canadian crop rsport and the Federal lnvestlratlon of the recent sharp ad vance in prices were coatrlbutary factors In the weakness. Wheat lost more than tic in prices; corn an extreme lc; oam, mc while provisions, despite lower hogs, were relHtlreiy firm. Wheat opened lio to le lower, princi pally because of the Canadksn estimate of a Dominion crop cf 230.000.000 bushels. Good weather and the threatened railroad strtke were disturbing factors. September opened at 11.43 to li tis, touched S1.41 and then reached to 1.4 It,. Liquidation and profit taking sent prices off as the session de veloped. No fresh demand came Into evi dence snrt st one time September was an extreme 6 cents umfcr Saturday's close. For eigners were reported sellers at Winnipeg. The close showed little recovery, with Sep tember 6 "4 cents net lower at 1.SS. Heavy sales of corn by traders who were notable as buyers last week and sympathy with wheat sent corn down. The visible de crease and a reduction in local supplies checked the slump momentarily, .but without net result. Many houses were buyers of oats, but failed to check a decline in prices based on the weakness of neighboring pita Provisions were unsettled: weak early with hogs, but recovering later on an unimportant trade.

Rainfall of One-Third of aa laea l a "aaal at Tnla XI mo of Year, la Exported to Io Mock Good. MEDFORD. Or.. Aur. 14. (Special.) A sudden wind storm struck the RogTio River Valley Friday night and in lees than half an hour did daman to tho pear crop estimated at between $50,000 and $73,000. Fruit In the northeastern part of the valley suffered most heavily, while on the west tlsere was no damage what ever. According; to County Pathologist C. C Cale. the loss will not exceed 10 per cent on all fruit, and in many dis tricts the wind merely thinned the fruit on later pear varieties, insuring- good size for the fruit that remained. As far as local records (ro this is the second destructive Vind storm in the history of the valley, the first storm occurring- In 1911. In both storms wires were blown down, several small trees In exposed areas broken, and a number of street sigrns and awnings destroyed. The storm was accompanied by one third of an inch rainfall, an unheard-of precipitation for this time of year, which will be of frreat benefit to those places not supplied with irrigation. THRESHING IS UNDER WAY Record Vicld la lOzpectexI After First Day's Ilcsults Are Seen. FHER1DAN. Or.. Aur. 14 (Special.) Threshing of grain began in tho Red Prairie and Salt Creek farming dis tricts today and. judging on the basis of a short run of some of tho thresh ers last week, the crips will bring a record yield. Wheat sowed in the Fall -will be about the same as last year, but the late rairas greatly aided the Spring grain and from these Spring crops oumper yields will be threshed. Cloudy and foggy weather will make the harvesting in the valley a little later. Hay baling is not completed and harvesters are short of hands.
