TIIE 3IORNIXG OREGONIAX, FRIDAY- DECEMBER 8, 1916. HAY SUPPLY SHORT Receipts to Date 200 Cars Less Than Year Ago. HIGH PRICES ALL WINTER Oats Market Continues to Advance. lot-al Wheat Prices Are Under rarity With Seattle. r - riour Is Firm. TTlg"h hay prices are almost certain to pre vail during the remainder of the season. The local market now Is strons. as very little hay ft comlns In. owing to the scarcity of ears. Stocks in the country are not heavy end a close cleanup Is assured. There Is considerable hay In Southern Idaho, but It Is igoing to Wyoming and Utah. Eastern Oregon hay can not be brought In in ade quate quantities because of the car situa tion. Stocks of undamaged hay In the Val ley are light. Since the beginning of the season re ceipts of hay at Portland have amounted to 17.6B0 tons, as compared with 21.2SO tons received in the same period last year. There has been a similar falling off In hay ar rivals In the Puget Sound markets. Total receipts at Portland. Seattle and Tacoma for the season have been 78,520 tons, a de crease of 16.220 tons from the correspond ing period last year. The wheat market was julet yesterday and In general the tone was weak In line with the heaviness at Chicago. At the Merchants' Kxchange December bluestem was 1 cent higher at $1.63. but fortyfold and club bids were 1 to 2 cent lower. The Seattle mar ket was 5 cents higher all around than Portland quotations. Buyers In that mar ket bid J1.58 for December bluestem and 11.60 for turkey. The oats market continues to register gains. One hundred tons of December oats were sold at the Merchants' Exchange et 436.50. an advance of 75 cents over the last sale on Tuesday. Barley was quiet and unchanged. No change was made In flour quotations yesterday, but the market Is In firm shape. The day's cables reported weather In France unfavorable and seeding delayed on a reduced acreage. The wheat yield of Italy la disappointing, labor scarce, trans portation Inadequate and the political situ ation in the Balkans is causing apprehen sion. Terminal receipts in cars were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Portland Thurs. is Year ago Feasoo to date.2.94H Tear ago 7,970 Tacoma Wed... 14 Tear ago 21 Reason to date. 3.

Price changes In the past week In the cash tnarkets for the articles In most general consumption were less numerous than for a considerable period, there being 43 advances In the 331 quotations received by Dun's Re view, and 28 declines, a total of 71, against 3 02 last week, 111 the week before and 14 three weeks ago. The most spectacular fea ture of the week was the notable weakness of the"graln markets, there being very sharp reductions In the quotations of wheat, com, cats and flour, which In part were due to Apprehensions that an embargo would be placed on exports. Other foodstuffs also developed an easier feeling, for while choice butter and cheese remained very firm, there was a reactionary trend to some graded of eggs, beans, sugar, coffee and vegetables. On the other hand. live meats displayed some increase - In strength, there being a moderate rise In beef, hogs and sheep, although this was rartlally offset by more or less irregularity 4n provision. Indications have now appeared that 1he upward movement to litos, which has con tlnued steadily for many weeks, is approach ing the top. for while the market as a whole. remains extremely strong, lower prices have been named on certain varieties. No further advances were announced on leather, but with only light supplies available, values of tMl descriptions appear to be as firm- as ever. Phenomenal strength and activity still . prevail In the markets for Iron and steel, there being no abatement in the demand for crude and finished materials, which runs far Into the future, and prices generally show a disposition to seek even higher levels. The minor metals were fairly steady, no sig nificant movement being noted In either di rection. JEGGS WEAK. MTTJI PRICES UNCHANGED Xocal Trade of Small Proportions Butter Is Kasier. There was no change in the egg situation, so far as the wholesale market was con cerned. At the Produce Exchange current receipts sold at 40 cents and this was the price generally quoted on the street, though there were rumors that the price was shad ed. There was hardly any movement in any Jobbing quarter, however. The market was weak and it would have been etlll weaker t'ut for the limited arrivals during the day. Storage eggs were offered at the Ex change at 36V6 cents and 29 cents was bid. An easier undertone prevails in the but ter market and with Seattle again on a par ity with Portland there may be some diffi culty in maintaining current quotations. At the Produce Exchange creamery extras were sold at 30. 8H. 37 and 37'4 cents. Dairy butter sold at 30 cents. Steady prices prevailed In the poultry and dreEsed meat markets. FAIL SOWN GRAIN IS HURT estimated Acreage In Milton District Seventy-five Percent. MILTON. Or.. Dec 7. (Special.) Wheat growers who have been investigating the damage done by the recent cold weather, which went 21 degrees lower than during the same period In 1913. have discovered much damage to the late Fall sown grain. County Commissioner H. M. Cockburn states that his loss will be 240 acres, which he will reseed In the Spring, and inasmuch as Spring grain rarely produces as much as Winter wheat this loss will likely be in creased. Other growers have lost in this district also, and some of the smaller farmers did not even get their crops in on account of the early Winter weather. Altogether the estimated acreage of Fall sown grain which stands to make a harvest is not more than 75 per cent of normal. Oranges of Good Color. Three cars of bananas arrived yesterday and the delivery was good. There is a very lair demand for oranges. Yesterday's ar rivals of navels were of good color. The local apple movement continues slow. Among the vegetable arrivals from the south was a car of head lettuce. Vegetable prices generally were steady.

EARLY MARKET STRONGER Weakness Follows Reports Indicat ing Renewal of Strain Between United States and Germany. Tone of Bonds Also Heavy. NEW YORK, Dec. 7. The market's ex treme susceptibility to any abrupt change In the international situation was again strikingly exemplified today, prices yielding 1 to a points in the final hour on reports suggesting a renewal of the strain between Washington and Berlin. Prior to that period the general list had been active and strong, the only notable ex ception being the metal group. The reason for this 'condition found partial explanation later when-dividends on the leading coppers were announced. While some of these dis bursements, regular and extra, were In ex cels of those declared three months ago, the aggregate dividends of $3.50 on Utah proved disappointing. Utah registered an extreme decline of 2 points with 3H for Chile, while Chile 7 per cent bonds made an extreme loss of 6- points. Other moderately heavy stocks Included motors, sugars, some of the recently active equipments and munitions, as well as ma rines. On the conservative side the noteworthy feature was the further extensive demand for secondary or reorganized railway shares, especially Wheeling & Lake Eries. Missouri Pacifies. Rock Island, Missouri, Kansas & Texas, Texas & Pacific, Toledo, St. Louis & Western. Southwestern, and Seaboard Air Line. Dealings In these stocks embraced fully one-third of the day's business. Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies added an other 5 points to its recent rise at the new level of 137H, and Owens Bottle Machinery also made a new maximum at 105. with irregular gains in almost a score of other specialties. United States Steel was less active and succumbed to the pressure of the later deal ings, closing at a net Ios of a point. Other shares of the same description also for feited gains of the forenoon with high-grade rails like Reading, Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Louisville & Nashville, and Illinois Central. Total sales of stocks, 1,400.000 shares. Bonds were heavy on the lower records made by Anglo-French 0s, American Foreign Securities 6s and Paris f.s. Total sales of bonds, par value, $3,175,000. United States 2s advanced , the Gs s, and 4a H per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Fales. High. Low. bid.

PIT PRICES SLUMP Fear of Break With Germany Starts Selling at Chicago. WHEAT CLOSE IS HEAVY Absolute Lack of Fresh Export Busi ness Also Adds to Depression of Grain Murket Shipments to Australia Larger. CHICAGO, Dec 7. Uneasiness about pos sible renewal of differences between the United States and Germany had a bearish effect on wheat today, and emphasized weakness that resulted from a letup In ex port demand. The close was heavy, lo to 8c net lower, wltn May at $L78 to $1.73 and July at $L4S to $1.48. Other leaking staples, too, all showed a setback corn lo to ISc. oats c to lo and pro visions 22 to 0O cents. Although It was known long before noon that the German defense for the sinking of the Arabia presented & chance that the United States Government would take a sharply different view of the facts, wheat traders did not seem much impressed with any sense of danger until the last 15 min utes of the session. Then a Washington message, saying that a break with Germany over the Arabia might occur at any time, led to a. selling drive and prices crumbled ranldlv. Absolute absence or export ousiness naa been a previDUS source of depression, which was added to bv forecaots of large shipments from Australia and the lack of an adequate number of freight carriers in the North At lantic. Prospecus that export buying, which since the first of the week had been on e. big scale, would be continued today, seemed bright at first, but dwindled to nothing In the end. Temporary advances in the price of wheat accordingly formed the rule in the morning hours, and were helped by woru that ships would be withdrawn from the Argentine trade, presumably for trips be tween North America and Europe. Increased country offerings put corn on the downgrade, together with the weakness of wheat Rainy weather acted as only a transient offset " ' -flV. vmv witli other sraln. Scarcity of cars tended to restrict demand from the seaboard, although exporters were said to have disposed of 240.00O bushels. Provisions fell in ri.-sponsa to a neciine In the hog market.
