FLOUR UP 20 GENTS
Overdue Advance Announced
in Local Market.
CASE GOODS ALSO HIGHER
Wheat Prices Decline, Owing to
Slump In East Argentina Offers
Grain in United States Cheaper
; Xlian Domestic Values.
A 20-cent advance In flour prices was an
nounced yesterday, which puts the list price
of patents at Se.GO a barrel. The advance
was overdue, as the wheat market last week
reached a point where millers considered
they were Justified In asking more for flour.

nation.

cents a case throughout, a wire from the
manufacturer of one of the best-known
.Eastern package cereals announced an ad
vance of 75 cents.
The wheat market was depressed by the
slump in the East Chicago wheat prices
underwent an extreme drop, of 7 cents on
the news that Argentine shippers were will
ing to lay wheat down at G&lveston cheaper
than the home-grown article. Traders at
the Merchants" Exchange, therefore, re
duced their wheat bids 1 to 3 cents. Five
thousand bushels of prompt bluestem were
told at $1.34, a cent under Wednesday's
price, and the last bid was down another
naif cent. On the Sound bluestem changed
hands at $1.33.
The declines at Chicago, Minneapolis and
Winnipeg put a stop to the Eastern de
mand and business consequently slowed
down at all interior points.
The coarse grains shared In the weak
ness of wheat. Local oats bids were re
duced 25 cents and offers for feed barley
were 50 cents lower than on Wednesday.

It was a session also of many new records.

Bethlehem Steel made an extreme gain

other stocks, selling up to 750, an overnight
gain of 53 points, and representing an ad-
vance, this week of 17a points. The "war

The percentage of profit-taking was be
yond all computation, but every setback or
reversal was followed by a fresh rise.
In the final hour, however, it became evi
dent that supplies of stocks were exceeding

Clieaper in "Cnited States
Than Domestic Values.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14. Sudden weakness
seized the wheat market late today, after
an early display of strength. The downturn,
whlh in some cases amounted to 7 cents
a bushel as compared with top prices of the
day, was accompanied by assertions that
Argentine wheat was being offered cheaper
In the United states tnan domestic wneai.
and by unconilrmea rumors tnat aweaen uua
decided to go to war. presumably against
Great Britain. Something of a recovery
ensued, but prices closed weak, lc to 2c
net lower, with December at i.as
$1.49. and May at $1.49 to $1.49. Corn
lost Vic to Mc and oats c to c. In pro
visions the outcome ranged from 5 cents
decline to a rise of 32 cents.
Previous to the late setback in wneat
prices, the market had been tending up
ward the. greater part of the day. Influ
enced by announcements that the Greek
government had purchased In the United
States 1.0O0.00O bushels of wheat and C0.000
barrels of flour. Another source of strength
was the firmness of prices at Liverpool
where sellers were withdrawing offers, and
It was said Argentine shipments promised
to show a heavv falling off.
Corn fell when wheat turned weaK. iieiore
that time the market had scored a decided
advance, owing to predictions of a wide-
soread frost tonight that might result in
serious damage to a large fraction of the
crop.
Oats swayed with corn ana wneat. lid-
eral export buying proved Insufficient as
an offset to Increased offerings in the last
hour.
Provisions bulged on account or reports
of big purchasing for Belgian relief. Profit
taking on the part of Tuesday's buyers
formed a noticeable feature and tended to
ease prices down at the last.

Ridzefield Ranchers Ready
for
Record-Breaking Crop.
RIDGEFIELD, "Wash.. Sept. 14.
(Special.) Prune harvesting in this lo
cality will commence today and be In
full blast by Monday. The harvesting
will continue for about a month. The

rains can hinder large returns, as fancy
prices are being offered. Driers are
now ready to take care of the crop.
The prunes will bring many thousands
of dollars to many farmers, wno are
almost wholly dependent upon the in
come from this crop.
