BLUEST EM SELLS AT $1.48 Trade Looks for Reaction Jn Eastern Speculative Centers After Excite ment or Past Week Oats and Barley Are Strong. The demand for wheat in the. TCorthwest continued strong yesterday in spite of tne unsettled close at Chicago. Bids put. out in the country were about the same as on the preceding day, though for good lots of any kind buyers were ready to pay more. At the Merchants Exchange. November bluestem sold at $1.47 and December blue mem at $1.43, an advance of 1 cent over Thursday. Other bids ranged from V to 2 cents up. The following sales were posted at the Exchange: fonn busheds November blnestem $ 1.47 6000 bushels December bluestem...... 100 tons October bran 21.00 100 tons November bran 21.00 The opinion was more or less general in the grain trade that a reaction is due In the speculative markets In the East, after the excited advances of the past week, and many looked for a break yesterday. Chicago early In the day went 3 cents over Thurs ny'a close, but the hot pace could not be maintained and the net gain at the wind-up was only cent for December. From this it was figured that a turn in the tide has set In and the market has reached its crest, for the present at least. Oats and barley scored further advances en the local board. Oats have displayed -much strength of late and the demand has Increased on the theory that oats have been too cheap In relation to barley. The oats market is not far from the Eastern basis and a renewal of rail shipments would oc casion no surprise. There was no announcement of further change in local flour prices. There Is a good Eastern and export demand for flour, but with the car situation as It is now millers cannot take much advantage of this inquiry. I'.radstreets estimates clearances this week at 6. 334,000 bushels of wheat and 870,000 bushels of corn. Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Portland.

According to a telegraphic dispatch to Paul II. 'eyrauch. president of the Fruit growers' Agency, Inc.. the Federal office of markets is to Inaugurate a very important Inspection service on apples at the receiv ing end. C. T. More, who has recently vis ited the leading fruit districts of the North west with this new service in view, is to be stationed at Fort Worth and Dallas. Texas, to supervise this Inspection service. The office of markets, through the co operation of shippers and railroads, plans to inspect cars of apples which pass through Kort Worth and Dallas. Aa these two places are division points on a. number of leading southern railroads, the service will cover fruit distributed over a large territory. Inspection serlce on fruit going to 'exas and tributary territory is especially Import ant because shippers have hitherto been at the mercy of the buyer In these markets. Texas Is so far distant from other large fruit markets that fruit which Is rejected for any reason by a buyer there cannot well be di verted and hence must often be disposed of at considerable loss. The Fruitgrowers' Agency has been -working for this inspection service for some time and hopes ultimately to secure a service which will minimize the shipper's risk with unscrupulous buyers on declining markets. ADVISORY BOARD 13 APPOINTED Co-operative Flan of Fruit Marketing Wll Be Considered, An advisory board has Just been ap pointed by the Governors of the states of Oregon.

Tomorrow Brad street's will say: Trade and industry never moved at a quicker pace than at present. While ab normally high commodity prices counsel cau tion lest a sudden veering of trade condi tions msy come, demand Is so Insatiable that buying seemingly will go on while the European war lasts. As yet there Is no sign of the saturation point being reached as re gards supplies of goods, and while high prices are complained of. there is no evl. dence,. aside from conservatism in buying some textiles that have advanced largely, of the buying movement being checked. Weekly bank clearings were $6,663,210,000. FLOTJR ADVANCES AT MINNEAPOLIS Chicago Bakers Mill Start Campaign for Embargo. CHICAGO. Oct. 20.

RISE BRINGS SALES Bulge at Chicago Leads Heavy Profit-Taking. to TONE AT CLOSE UNSETTLED Wild Hushes to Buy In 12arly Part of Session ' Send Market t'p 3 Cents All News of Day Is Bullish. CHICAGO. Oct. 20. Highest prices, since the Americsn Civil Wsr. except dune g the Letter "corner." resulted in the wheat mar ket today from a aeries of wild rushes to buy and from a temporary scarcity of offerings. On. the bulge, however-, profit taking sales were heavy and thre was unsettled close. Klnal nrlees with. Irem- ber at 1.9H to S1.C9H and May a.69fc to si.oH-. ranged from e decline to e ad vance, as comDared with vetenrla9's close. Corn gained lVc to 2tc and oaus Sc to Pi:. In provisions the ougcosne was uncnangea to 40c higher. Urgency to acquire wheat was manifested Chiefly In the first half of th seaaloa. One of the main reasons appeared to be that yesterday's export sales wvre said to have reached the huge total of nearly 2.000,000 bushels. Other causes Included a contln-.iance of the Argentine drought, the i?nion mat oniy a third, instsad or hair, of the threshing in Canada had been done. and the fact that stocks In Grat Britain were decreasing to a serious extttnt. Aptton of the British government In cotmmandeer Ing all the Manitoba wheat tlsat dealers had contracted for tended also to stimulate buying here, until signs begsn to appear that foreigners had. temporarily at least, to a considerable degTee. stopped, following the upward movement In prices. Corn fotures Jumped 5 cent a bushel at one time today, and the market for Immediate delivery reached the notably high level of SI a bushel for No. 2 yellow. Husking delays certain to result from the prevailing stormy weather had a jtood deal to do with the rise, and so. too. dirt adverse crop reports from Argentina, but more than half of the gains failed to hald. Oats, although unusually active seemed to be swayed altogether by the course of wheat and corn. Provisions, Influenced by grain, advanced to new- high levels, but underwent some reaction nt tha last, owing to thw profit talcing. An early break In the value of hops was altogether Ignored.
