COARSE GRAINS STRONG Buying Is Active at All Points No Advance in Flour at Portland or Seattle, Although An other lilt la Due. Wheat prtoM In the country were raised mbont a cent over Saturday's prloes and there was considerable buying yeeterday. There were purchase of bluestem at Interior points at better than $1.18 and club changed hands at $1.10 to the trrower. At the Merchants' Exchange, bids aver aged fully 2 cents over last week's top. with bluestem at $1.22 and $1.23. fortyfold and fife at $1.20 ana club at $1.18 and $1.19. Barley holda firm In the country with boytnr at $S0. and oats are changing hands at $29. There were report of barley being stained in some sections by the late rains. There wa no change In the floor market yesterday and none was announced for to day, though a further advance In wheat will probably mean a higher flour list. On Puget Bound, as at Portland, the flour market stands at $. Eome of the smaller mills In "the North raised their Quotations 20 cents on Saturday and another 20 cents yesterday, but the larger mills took no action and the flour market on the enttre North Pacific Coast can, therefore, be -quoted unohanged. Broom hall says, lu his international wheat view: "It is reckoned that North America will export during the current season of old and new crop fully 320.000,000 bushels, whlcn would be ample, and, if present prices are maintained at this high level, Australia and Argentina have 136.000.000 bushels of old wheat still available for export, and will harvest another crop Jn December, probably providing additional 120.000.000 bushels. India has still 32.000.000 bushels available, and could ship as much more from her next crop before August Russia and North Af rica will ship 16.UOO.000 bushels. Therefore t is plain that fully 304,000,000 busnels Is available, without North America, and. In ad dition to this, there are 48,000,000 bushels afloat. "The allied governments are fully capable of arranging ocean tonnage, if the necessity should arise to draw supplies from all sources outside of North America, and there fore Europe will not starve. "Operators here, however, are. nervous, as the weather has turned wet. Just as har vesting commenced, and first samples of English wheat show onlyt mediocre quality." Terminal receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat. Bar. Fir. Oats. Hay.

Commenting on the apple crop outlook, the Government's monthly crop report says: The apple prospects improved more or less darinp July In the Atlantic Coast States, also in the Pacific Coast States, but declined In nearly all the Central states, the decline being due largely to the dry, hot weather. The August 1 forecast for the entire United Ptates is 71.600,000 barrels, which compares with an estimated production last year" of 76.700,000 barrels and In the preceding five years a yearly average of C6.OO0.00O barrels. Thus, the crop as a whole will probably be smaller than last year's big crop, but some what larger than an average crop. Conditions vary, however. In different sec tions. In the New England States 804.000 barrels are forecast, compared with 2.S32.000 last year. Baldwins are reported to be short, however. In New York the forecast is 12,062.000 barrels, compared with 8.528.000 last year, and In Pennsylvania 6,r.62.000. compared with 5.085.0OO last year. It thus appears that the North Atlantic States will have materially more apples than lest year: slightly more are also Indicated in Maryland, West Virginia and North Caro lina. In Virginia, however, the forecast of 4.180.000 Is slightly less than last year's crop of 4.393,000 barrels. In all the Central States except Michigan Uie forecast is for smaller yields than last year; Ohio 4.028.000 barrels, compared with S.984,000; Indiana 1.867,000, compared with $.883,000; Illinois 1.921.000. compared with 4,716.000; Iowa 1,715.000, compared with 8. 225.000; Missouri, 3,520,000. compared with J.287.0OO; Kentucky . 2,656,000, compared with 4.170,000; Arkansas 1.143,000, compared with 1.183.000. In Michigan, however, the forecast Is an Increase, being 4,810,000 com pared -with 8.150,000. Also In the Pacific Northwest the forecast Is for larger yields than last year, except in Idaho. Naxt iruiMh the Bureau of Crop rhinites will forecast the production of the more im portant varieties of apples this year. OUTSIDE BUTTER 13 ACCUMCXATING Strong Operators Refuse to Take Cube at Recent Advance. The recent advance In local butter prices has left the market for outside creamery If anything weaker, as receipts fall to clean up and stocks are accumulating. Holders wanted more for extra cubes at the produce exchange, asking 80 and 81 cents, but there were no bids. Efforts to raise the egg market on the board met with failure, as the best price paid for current receipts was 20 Vs cents, at which price the market was active. Seconds sold at 23 Si cents. Tillamook triplets were offered at 1H cents and Oregon triplets at 18 cents, but without bids. Broilers were offered at 17 cents and 16 cents was hid. On the street, poultry and meat receipts were light and Saturday's prices - were repeated. FIRST TOKAY GRAPES ARE RECEIVED Between Seasons In Peach Trade Pin da Street Lightly Supplied. The first Tokay grapes of the season arrived yesterday by express and were offered at $1.73 and $2 a crate. Other grapes were in good supply and steady. Peaches were scarce on the street. It Is between seasons, with the early varieties out of the way and late peaches not yet plentiful. A few days of warm weather, however, will rapidly Increase the supply. Fruit trade was brisk yesterday, with an active demand for cantaloupes and melons at steady prices. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday ware as follows: Clearings.

GAIN OF NEARLY 3 CENTS LongB Unload Heavily, but Sales for Profits Kail to Cliecfc Advance. Corn Is Nervous, Owing to Fears of Cooler Weather. CHICAGO, Aug. 21. Extra" clerks have been employed hy Board of Trade firms to take care of the Immense volume of trade which began with the Government crop re port and which has been stumulated since by private reports of widespread damage to crops, particularly wheat Today's session of the Board was a repetition f recent days. The market for wheat absorbed stag gering loads of the cereal from longs, but it kept its head above Saturdays close and at the end added zNo to 2io to the price. Corn was rather nervous and irregular and closed He higher to lower. Oats ad vanced Mc to HWHc Provisions closed 10 cents lower to 80c higher. The wheat market started wild with prices as much as 3.o over Saturday. Half an hour before the close m violent upturn be gan. The entry of ttie general public into the trade was noted. The top prices for corn deliveries were attained at the opening. Then an' ava lanche of corn with profits attached came out and prices broke sharply. Longs were afraid of the prediction of cooled weather and rains in the growing belt. The spot market was lc to tc lower, with shipments curtailed by scarcity of cars. Heavy Belong of oats to secure profits marked the session in that cereal, but prices, after the mldsession break, rallied and closed higher. A prediction of heavy receipts. 1124 cars, tomorrow, helped to break the price The spot msrket ruled strong with an excellent export demand. Shipments fell ofx because - o the car shortage. Provisions were moderately active, wltlr trade mostly In lard. The advance In hogs was the principal Influence in advancing prices. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.

WASHINGTON, Aur. 21. The central purpose of th United fctate warehouse act. which became a law on Aujcutt 11, 1916, Is to establish a form of warehouse receipt for cotton, grain, wool, tobacpo and flaxseed, which will make these receipts eaaliy and widely negotiable aa delivery or ders or as collateral for loans and, there fore, of definite assistance In financing crops. This purpose the act alms to attain by licensing and bonding warehouses under conditions which will Insure the Integrity of tneir receipts and make these receipts re liable evidence of the condition, quality. Quantity and ownership of the products named which may be stored with them. The Secretary of Agriculture is given gen eral authority to Investigate the storage, warehousing, classification, weighing and certifying of cotton, wool, grains, tobacco and flaxseed, and to classify warehouses for which licenses are applied for or issued. Warehouse legislation. .In Its bearing upon the marketing and distribution of farm products, was discussed by the Secretary of Agriculture In his annual report for 1915, in which be said: "Investigation conducted by the office of markets jid rural organlzaaoB indicia that there la serious need of warehouse leg islation. It would seem that the most de- irabls action on the part ox the states would be the passag of lawa which would guarantee the integrity of warehouse re ceipts. These- laws should be uniform, so that the conaitlons governing such receipt may be the eame throughout the country, thereby greatly increasing their availability as collateral for loaas at distant banking centers. The uniform warehouse receipts act is now la force In SI states. "In addition to the legislation that has been or may be enacted by the states. It Is believed that the enactment of a Federal warehouse law would be of great benefit. The general interest In the sublet is well shown by the Inquiries the department con stantly is receiving. In fact, many ware housemen, under the misapprehension that a bill on the subject considered by the last Congress actually had been passed, have asked the department to give them Infor mation as to how to comply with It. The proposed measure, which Is permissive In character, would enable the Department of Agriculture to license bonded warehouses In the various states. It would promote the better storing of farm products. Increase the desirability of receipts ss collateral for loans, and therefore would be of definite assistance In financing crops. A Federal statute on the subject slso would promote th standardising of storages, of warehouse receipts, and of marketing processes." ALASKA PRICES NAMED RED SALMOX QUOTATIONS LOWER THAX EXPECTED.

Althousn, the north ern pack Is a llgnt ons, tbe new Quotations Collins Indicate this condition. In fact, the same price la announced on red Alaska talis that was current last season. The new prices for 1&10 pack, as named yesterday, compare with last year's prices as follows. 11. 1919. Alaska red tails l.JO 11.50 Medium red tails ............... ISO 1.13 Alaska red halves 1 1.10 Pluks ,i .75 Chums ......................... .&5 .63 Tbe pack is not over T5 per cent of last year s, and la view of the strong condi tion of tbe general salmon market, the trade looked tot a vary substantial advance over last year's prices. In some quarters It Is thought the big packers may be play ing a waiting game, naming very reason able prices now to get tbe small packers out of the way early while they hold back the bulk of the pack for a later and probably higher market. The run of salmon in the Columbia has been picking up in tha last few days, and when the season ends next Friday noon It may be found that the latest pack will equal that of 1915. Eome of the packer are decidedly short, but there are plants at Astoria that have already put up more fish than at this time last year. Tha riven pack has been sold ahead. Trade reports from New Tork. nnder date of August 17. said of the salmon mar ket there : "Red Alaska sslmon m the spot was very firm, and It was doubtful If any could be obtained as low as JL7a. as holders were asking J 1.72 H. and with the small quantity available there was no rea son to expect any concessions.
