WHEAT TONE BETTER
Inquiries Are Again Received
From East.
SOME TRADING IN COUNTRY
tlth Renewed Demand, Dealers Are
More Disposed to Enter Market.
Local Board Quotations Up.
i Coarse Grains Are Steady.
1-hero was a better feeling in the wheat
market yesterday than tor soma tima past.
particularly In tha afternoon. Dealer were
more encouraged to enter on business and a
moderate amount of trading; was reported
at various point ia the country. There was
some inquiry from tha Cast, tha first In
about three weeks. Tne prices offered were
too low to permit of sales, but tha trade was
encouraged by tha fact that tha East was
again showing Interest In Northwestern
wheat.
Most of the purchases in tha Interior
were for shipment to tidewater, principally
to the Sound, as cars were available only
for movement this way. At the Merchants
Exohange bids wera advanced all along- tha
line, offera being 1 to S cents higher than
on Wednesday.
The oata market was quiet and unchanged.
There was a moderate local feed demand
for barley.
Broomhall cabled: "Wheat dull but steady.
American . decline offset by moderate ar
rival and fair millers' demand. Strength
In coarse grain and moderate India and
Australia otfers help to sustain values.- Corn
easier with more liberal offers at the de
cline. Forecast is for liberal Argentina 'ship
ments. Demand continues good."
The details for the British flour milling
order show that the percentage of flour
which must be extracted from different
quantities of wheat rang from 73 to TS per
cont. This order went into force on Novem
ber 27 and after that date no flour could
be milled excepting under the specification
as indicated, and after January 1 only flour
so milled can be used in making bread or
any other article of food. This change. It it
stated, will increase the yield of wheat by
per cent. Another order has been issued
by the Board of Trade to the effect that
reports have been current that certain parties
have been accumulating quantities of whlta
flour to be used after the milling order Is in
effect, and notice is given that the use of
such flour after tha order Is In effeot will
be illegal.

CHRISTMAS TURKEY MARKET STRONG
Supply Is Not Equal to Local and Shipping
Demand.
Receipts of turkeys wera larger yesterday
than on Wednesday, but they did Dot equal
tha demand. The street cleaned up early
and dealers could have sold many more.
Several dealer had unfilled OTders for 100
or more at tha close of the day. Unless
arrivals today are unexpectedly liberal high
prices will be maintained.
The price of No. 1 turkeys was 23 to 29
cents, and in the later hours of trading the
market waa 29 cents strong. Lowsr grado
stock sold at the usual range under the top
quotation.
The main Influence In lifting turkey prices
this Christmas was tha demand from Seattle.
Northern buyers were operating aa lata as
noon yesterday, and as they were willing
to pay tha pries asked they got the pick of
the receipts. The majority of the Portland
buyers, remembering that the late-comers at
Thanksgiving got the bargains, deferred
their Christmas buying in tha hope that
tha market would break, but their wishes
did not materialize, and some will be with
out enough turkeys to make an adequate
""display in their shops.
Other dressed poultry was not plentiful.
Fat geese sold from 18 to 20 cents a pound.
Very few ducks were received. There was a
good market for live poultry throughout the
day and former prices were obtained.
BURLAP -SUPPLY
COMMANDEERED
British Government Takes Over Production
of Dundee Mills.
Dundee cables state that tha British gov
ernment has commandeered the production
of burlap mills in that district for the six
weeks beginning January 1. Traders on this
side had been expecting such action, but
when it did not take place In October or
November, they went over to the belief that
the plan had been abandoned. Tha latest
news, however, shows it to bo an actuality,
and the trade feels that the already scant
supply of lights will ba atlll further cut by
lack of expected shipments through the first
month and a half of the new year.
Mills In Dundee have been sold up for
soma time, so that the action of the British
government takes a needed supply of goods
right out of the markets. Importers state
that they believe staples and specialties will
both be affected and that no shipments to
the United States can ba expected until
February.

most without precedent, stocks today ex
perienced another serious reversal of quoted
values, the most thorough, in fact, since

again ascribed to the developments

Tha opening, at which prices were de
pressed 2 to 7 points, was only a preluae
to the Increasing weakness of the later
hours. The spectacular feature at the out
set as an offering ot 50.000 shares of United
States Steel at 104 ii to lOSii, a maximum
decline of 3V4 points. This was not only
the largest individual operation of the pay

Chicago Trices Kally, When Foreign
Purchases Become Known and
Stampede to Sell CeasesClose
Is Strong at Advances.
CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-Big foreign purchas
ing turned out to- be a more powerful In
fluence In the wheat market today than
President .Wilson's move for peace, or than
Secretary Lansing's statement that tha
United States was being drawn near the
verge of war.
A whirlwind fall of 7 cents In wheat prices
was followed by steep advances totaling
8 cents from the bottom level of the day.
The close was strong, $1.63 to $1.63 tor
May and $1.33 to $1.33 for July, with
the market as a whole finishing at virtually
the tiptop point reached, ftc off to 2c up
as compared with 2 4 hours before. Corn
gained 181Hc to 10 net, end oats Ho
to 1ft a. Ths result in provisions varied
from 25o decline to a rise of 20 cents.

developed after ths market, right at the
outset, crashed downward under offerings
that for about 15 minutes appeared to have
no limit as to volume and not much as to
price. The stampede to sell ceased rather
abruptly when the fact became evident that
buyers were waiting ior an

AID FOR BLIND DESIRED
HEAD OF STATE SCHOOL FAVORS
TWO PROPOSED LAWS.
Two Measures Designed to Provide
Higher Technical and Profes
sional Edncatlon.
SALEM, Or.. Dec 2L (Special.) To
give blind persons of Oregon an- op
portunity to secure higher technical or
professional education and to provide
for the industrial education of - the
blind, are the objects of two bills which
E. T. Moores, superintendent of the
Oreson School for the Blind, hopes to
see pass the next Legislature.
In one bill provision is made that any
blind person who has been a resident of
the state a year or more attending any
college, university, technical or profes
sional school located in this state and
authorized by law to grant degrees, but
in itself Is not an institution for teach
ing: the blind, shall be entitled to the
services of a person or persons to do
reading for Such blind person, the read
ing in question to be such as is au
thorized or required by the management
of the school. For such services the
reader is to receive $300 from the treas
ury of the state for each year of nine
months.
In the other bill he would have the
Board, of Control also created a board
of industrial aid for the blind, the
board to act as a bureau of informa
tion to aid the blind in finding em
ployment, to teach them Industries
which may be followed in their homes
and to provide means for development
of such industries and for the market
ing of the products from such irnlus
tries. Under the bill the board also
would be empowered to establish classes
in Industrial training, and workshops
for the employment of suitable blind
persons. The bill would appropriate
$10,000 for carrying out tne purposes
of the act.
