MINOR ISSUES HARDEST HIT
Trading Slows Down at All Coun-
, try Points Oats Change Hands
at Former Price Bar
v Icy Shows Weakness.
Vhe -wheat market was off about two
cents all around yesterday. The continued
eaa- in grain markets in the Bast has re
sulted in a subsidence of Eastern demand.
and but for a little Inquiry from CalifornU
for milling wheat, the outside markets dls
clayed but little interest In grain from
this section. Business was quiet in all the
country wheat markets.
The British government again permitted
Broomhall to cable yesterday, but the serv
ice may not be continued. His cable said:
"Cash wheat at Liverpool steady. Corn
firmer on Argentine news. Oats strong,
with light arrivals. Flour market steady;
supplies moderate. The home markets on
wheat and corn are now under control of
market commissioners, who keep prices
steady and do not allow foreign fluctua
tion or market reports to Influence.
"India Wheat acreage planted amounts.
officially, to 10.25G.uO0 acres, against 9.500,-
000 acres last year.
"Australia Estimated exportable surplus
of 72.000,000 bushels. Broomhall agent
thinks this too high.
"Argentina Weather continues dry and
bot, favorable for movement of wheat and
oats, unfavorable for corn. Corn crop last
season 160,000.000 bushels; so far shipments
have been 93,176.000 bushels."
Commenting on the market outlook, a New
York broker writes:
"Wheat Is showing great strength, and
with further price gain since our last re
port. Cash Is practically at the top of the
season, although futures still lack 9 cents
of It. Export demand is on a large, scale,
and were tonnage obtainable large clear
ances would occur, with heavy decrease in
the visible supply. The supply and de
mand situation is such that higher levels
are indicated and the only possible de
terring factors are peace or ruthless sub
marine warfare. Peace would sentimen
tally cause some recession, but In the end
. would lead more certainly to high prices
than even a continuation of war. New crop
outlook Is not entirely satisfactory. Snow
covering is lacking, and with any unfavor
able news July and September would
promptly respond."
One hundred tons of February oats were
sold on the local exchange at $36.50, the
old being a repetition of that of Tuesday,
though there were no sellers on that day.
Barley was unchanged locally. The "San
Francisco, Chicago and Minneapolis barley
markets were lower.

For the United States as a iwiiole, the fail

for $302,286,148 in 1915 and 18,280 defaults,
Involving the unprecedented sum of $357,

indebtedness was the smallest since 1911
In contrast to the usual tendency, insolven

Tendency of Chicago Market During
Most of Day Is Toward Higher
Talncs Initial Decline Due
to Fresh Peace Talk.
CHICAGO, Jan. 10. Disturbing- rumors
of hostilities on the AtlanUo carried wheat
prices sharply down grade today, losses on
some transactions showing a loss ot as much
ss 5c a bushel. Extrems weakness, how
ever, proved brief. The close, although
nervous, was at 2o to 3o net decline, with
May at $1.83 01.83. and July at $1.47
01.47. Other leading staples, too. finished
at a setback, eorn 1&1C, oats filc, and
provisions 2 010c
Until the flurry took place In regard to
the fighting that was supposed to havs
occurred somewhere on the route of the
merchant ships bound from the United States
to Lurope, the wheat market had displayed
a tendency to higher values except Just at
the outset. Initial declines appeared to be
due largely to inferences that the German
Chancellor soon would make a new move to
bring about peace. Selling preesurs, how-
over, was not neavy.
Corn fell with wsat.
Trade in oats waS of a local character.
Liberal receipts of hogs were primarily
responsible for the decline ot provision
values.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

HOOD RIVER, Or, Jan. 10. (Spe
cial.) 'With probably a keener interest!
than has been evidenced by members
of the organization In the past five)
year characterising; discussions, the
Hood River Commercial Club held the
initial regular meeting- of tho year
Monday nlfcht, when officers for the
ensuing: term were announced as fol
lows: Dr. J. D. Guttery. East Side ur
chardlst, president; 'William Stewart,
hardware merchant, vice-president: J.

urer, and H. E. Scott, re-elected, secre
tary. Other members of the board are)
Crawford C, L-emmon. C. J. Calkins, W.
L Clark and Harry Connaway.
A novel step was taken by the Com
mercial Club to obtain funds for tha
coming year for the payment of possi
ble deficits. A constitutional amend
ment providing for a 10 per cent
assessment of dues was adopted. Tha
assessment, however, cannot be mada
unless the unappropriated funds of tha
club's treasury are less than $50 at
the beginning: of any quarter. The mem
bership of the organization now reaches
a total of 210.
The proposed movement before Con
gress to establish a 1-cent letter rate
for ctsfcain zone deliveries was dis
cussed.. The local commercial organiza
tion is prone to disapprove of the pro
posed bill and has called on the One
Cent Letter Postage Association for
data that will give all plans of tha
proposed movement.
