PORTLAND FIRMS BIDDERS Lowest Tender Is Made by Northern Grain and Warehouse Com pany Trade in Wheat Is at Standstill. Trading: In wheat and flour, so far as "Eastern business Is concerned. Is still at a standstill and i not likely to revive until the strike Issue Is settled. Inquiries tor wheat continue to come from the East, how ever, but with the traffic uncertalnies the trade at this end Is not operating and there were no reports of bids belns out In the country market yesterday. Had any offers been made on the basis of current values In the East they would probably have come to nought, as farmers are not sellers, nor are they likely to be until the recent high prices are restored. There was a moderate) de mand at coast terminals and also at In terior milling: points and there were inquiries as well from the California buying centers, but there was little wheat for sale. The belief prevailed that values will get back to the old level Just a soon as. It becomes certain that a strike will be avoided. At the Merchants' Exchange, wheat bids ranged from 1 cent lower on fife to 1 cent higher on club and fortyfold. Offers for bluestem and red Russian were unchanged. Coarse grain prices were steady. Bids were opened yesterday morning by the local Quartermaster, United States Army, for supplying the Government with 8200 tons of oats, usual specifications. The lowest bid. J34.75, was submitted by the Korthern Grain & Warehouse Company. The Albers Bros.' Milling Company tendered a bid of 34.99. Bradstreet's reports North American wheat exports this week at 8.1&a,000 bushels and corn exports at 1,271,000 bushels. Argentine wheat shipments this weelf are 808. 000 bushels, against 384,000 bushels last week and 200,000 bushels last year.

IX CI1KESE IS DIE Iiocml Stocks Are Running Short and Demand Is Urgent. The cheese market is very strong, with every Indication of an advance of about 2 cents within the next few days. The local demand is urgent and stocks have been sharply reduced. There is also a strong Inquiry for Tillamook cheese from the Sound and California, Supplies of Eastern cheese on the Coast are very light and stocks cannot be replenished within several cents of the old prices. There were no offerings of cheese on the local dairy produce boara yesterday. Creamery "butter quotations showed im provement. Extra cubes sold on the board at 293 cents and S cents was bid for prime firsts, with 2y cents asked. City creameries report a better demand for their product, and a further shrinkage of cream receipts. Dairy butter sold at '2.2 y cents. Thd egg market was steady, with board sales of current receipts at 2o cents. Candled eggs were offered at 2S cents, but there "was no bid. Ther was a good demand for poultry ana aressea meats on the street at gen erally unchanged prices. There will be no session of the produce exchange on Monday. CRANBERRY CROP IS ESTIMATED Growers Association Places Cape Cod Yield at 250,000 Barrels This Year. At the annual meeting of the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers' Association en estimate of the crop of the year was placed at 250, 000 barrels, or slightly more than last year. and about 200,000 less than the biggest year, 1914. John C. Makepeace, of War- ham, was re-elected as president; James T. Hennessey, of "vYarham, secretary, and Z. H. Jenkins, or West Barnstable, treasurer. Feveral interesting talks were given on fer tilization work, and gypsy moth control. A grower made the statement that the July rain considerably curtailed one of the Cape's biggest crops. This man thought the estimate of about 250,000 barrels was too high and that 80 per cent of last year's crop was nearer the actual production with Early Blacks 15 per cent in excess or last year. NO SHORTAGJS OF UREEN PRODUCE Front-Street Jobbers Do Not Feavr Effect of Strike. Strike or no strike, there will be no short age of needed supplies of green produce In Portland, according to Fro nt-fi tree t jobbers. In the event of a tieup, stocks of water melons alone cannot be renewed. Receipts of cantaloupes from the south will also be shut off, but the northern crop is now due, ATift th n 1t- a rt tint vni-nrtrio V n score. All other important lines are being amply supplied by home producers, and th rail 11 nee are not solely depended on to get these products to market. Fuit stocks were large yesterday and with some varieties the supply was In excess of the demand. This was especially the case with grapes. Peaches were plentiful and inclined to be easier. CALIFORNIA BEAN ACREAGE LARGE . Even Orchardlsts Have Planted Between Rows of Their Trees. California's bean acreage this year enormous ana n is oeuevea that the crop win be larger than eny before In the his tory of the state, says the Sacramento cor respondent of the Packer The traveler will find this year's beans strung all the way from Red Bluff to San Diego, great broad patches planted on the rich bottom lands and the shelf lands of the ocean. Even the mountain districts are raising beans this year and orchardlsts planted beans between the trees. But the market will be bare when this crop arrives and the expectation, here are that there will be no great break In the price. Canned Oysters Open Higher. The wholesale grocery trade was advised yesterday or the opening or new oyster prices on a rather higher level than last year's quotations. The advance amounts la cents a dozen on No. 1, small sizes, and 25 cents on large sizes. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesteraay were as xouows: Clearlnes.

Credit la Needed tor Irrigation, Says Banker Strike- Situation Send. Vacationists Home. riirin, neea or a farm loan bank for J. this territory was Illustrated teraay by w. F. Duncan, a banker from Ontario, Or., who frequently comes to Portand on business trinu TOl i ..... j.ne larmers in my district car Dro- trress only witnin certam limits." said ivur. uuncan, ana tnese limits are purely a matter of finance. The district around Ontario Is not highly suitable for dry farming-, so. to increase the productivity of the region, we must have irrigation. "The water supply is more than ade quate, but the cost of installation pre vents extensive irrigation Droiects. Irrigation will have to wait until the land is valuable enough to capitalize. By ordinary banking methods the farmer can borrow only on improved land, but he cannot improve his land until he gets a loan. A system of credits scientifically drawn up would give the Ontario farm the money he needs for his land, and production would be increased many roia. "Money Is being advanced on good terms this year on all first-class farm land, but in our district this advantage is not easily realized. We have lived in a 10 per cent district for so long that lower terms are hard to estab lish." Mr. Duncan, who has been on a vaca tion trip to the beach with Mrs. Dun can, Is registered at the Seward. ... The menace of a railroad tie-up has changed the plans of a party of promi nent Boise people, who, after a brief vacation at Gearhart, are hastening to reach their home before Monday. Oliver O. Haga, a leading attorney of Boise, is one of the party, and explained the early return to Portland as a result ot the strike agitation. Other members of the party are Mrs, E. TV. Tucker. Mrs. A. K. Hess. F. C. Taylor and Will Regan. They have all been registered at the Portland during their stay here. Autolsts from the United States can spend 10 days in Canada without giving- any bond or paying duty, simply by registering at the first Canadian customs-honse. A bond, however, is required tor a longer stay than 10 days. Blast prices weak Stocks Close Lower After Ir regular Session. REALIZING ON ADVANCES Market Governed by Changing As pects or Railway Situation Ger man Exchange Rate Declines to Xcw Low Record- NEW TORK. Sept. 1. Alternate periods of strength and weakness attended today's irregular market, the feverish movement deriving- its impulse almost wholly from the changiiicr aspect of the railway situation. Pricea were almost universally strong- at the outset, but stocks were freely supplied on the advance, and profit taking soon wiped out most gains. During- the intermediate stage the list again was elevated on the advance of Mer cantile Marine preferred. Inspiration Copper and Keliy Springfield Tire to new records. Marine preferred touched 106N with 58 for Inspiration and bl for Kelly Spring field. These quotations were shaded in the final hour, when weakness in the motor group, notably Studebaker and Willys-Overland, unsettled the entire list, the market closing with a heavy tone. Ralls were watched with unusual Interest because of their direct relation to impending conditions. Reading. &t. Paul, the Marn mans and some Eastern trunk lines yielded at every suggestion of pressure, their initial advances being later substituted by losses of 1 to 2 Dnlnti. United States Steel was a sheet anchor of the forenoon, its early maximum, plus th regular and extra dividends of 2 per cent. bringing It up to within of its record price and carrvine other Industrials with It. Professional pressure and the temptation to realize were too strong, however, and with few exceptions these stocks closed at net declines. Total sales amounted to 730, 000 shares. The most significant event of the day In Its broader applications to financial condl tions was the further break in German ex change, marks declining to the low record of 6034. a. depreciation of fully 30 per cent. Rubles were strong, with further buying of Russian securities, but sterling and francs were unchanged. Heavy offerings of International war Issues Anglo-French 5a, the new French notes and Canadians featured the lower bond market. Total -ales, par value, aggregated $2, 420.000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Fales. 2, HMO 14.100 2,000 e.cto 5,000 High. !o 24 77 99 Low. bid Am Beet Sugar.. American Can... Am Car Fciry..

LIVESTOCK MEN SUFFER SHIPMEXT OP" 16,000 SHEEP LEFT AT I, A GRAXIJE. Cattle Owners Trying to Take Advan tage of niKb Prices Find Stock Stranded on Way, BAKER, Or, Sept. 1. (Special.) Cattle and sheepmen are seriously in convenienced by the order of the O.-W. R. & is. Railroad to refuse livestock that cannot reach its destination by Saturday night. Gerald Stanfield had 16,000 head of sheep entrained for Cal ifornia and at La Grande yesterday they were sidetracked, the railroad re fusing to carry them further, it ' was reported here today. As a result Mr. Stanfield wil have to make some pro vision for them at that place and await an opportunity to send them through. Some cattlemen are suffering like wise. Bert Ingle brought down a large shipment from Sumpter yesterday, ex pecting to trans-ship them here, but at this place they were stalled and will be unloaded here and held indefinitely. Other cattlemen are having like ex periences, most of them being unable to send their stock to the Eastern markets, where prevailing prices make immediate delivery imperative.

SELLING BECOMES GENERAL Chicago Prices Are on Down-Grade in "Latter Part of Session and Market Closes "With Material Ixss. CHICAGO, Sept. 1. Apprehension of many trader that some unforeseen development would prevent a settlement of th. Impending railway strike turned the wheat market down grade today. Largely In consequence the close was unsettled. c to 2o net lower, with September at J1.4034 and De cember at (1.43 K to 1.44. Corn finished c to c down; oats, c to c off to o up, and provisions varying from 45 47c De cline to a rise of 7c. epreselon regarding th. possible failure of the strike settlement did not become a dominant factor in the wheat market until bout midday. Previous to that time, the likelihood seemed to be that the action ot Congress would be of a nature to result in the strike being called off. Accordingly, buyers of wheat were decidedly active, and prices made a rapid upturn. It was not long, however, before the tenor of dispatches from Washington assumed a less and leas rosy aspect, until finally inferences were drawn that after all a big chanc. existed of the strike settlement being wrecked. General sell ing followed, wltn hearlsh sentiment em phasized by disturbing reports from th. Bal kans, especially announcement, tnat tne King of Greece had resigned and that Qreece would fight on the side of the allies. Corn prices were highest during the first hour, and lowest during the last hour, th. market hinging almost entirely on the vary- ng prospects regarding the success of el- forts to avert the strike. Oats were governed chiefly by the action of other cereals. Provisions finally gave way under the In fluence of a sharp decline in the hog mar ket. The chief setback was in pork.

Corrent BuTina; Continues on Larse Scale Demand In Many Linen Exceeds S apply. NEW TORK. Sept. 1. Dun's Review to morrow will say: An embargo on freight ihipments and come cancellations of contracts because of uncertainties a a to deliveries, due to the threatened transportation tfe-up, character ized the situation during the week. Yet in spite of these conditions, business made further substantial headway, new projects In most instances being; undertaken with sustained confidence. Current buying continues noteworthy, though ordinarily it might be checked, and divergence between supply and demand Is still a factor of strength in many markets. Prices In lead ing lines tend upward steadily, but while the - high costs naturally cause some hes itancy, consumption Is not lessened per ceptibly In one important branch after another purchasing has broadened appreciably, fol lowing a temporary lull, and producing and distributing facilities remain Inadequate to meet the expanding requirements. With transactions surpassing those of any other year, much more business might be done were It not for the scarcity of ma terials and shortage of labor, which prevent manufacturers from accepting all the con tracts offered.
