Ho said he thought It would be a good idea issue this sheet not only for the trade but for the public. He further recommended that The Mercantile Exchange make all of the daily newspaper editors in New York honorary members and throw the exchange floor open to them, so that they could come and go when they chose, would have access to the records of the exchange and could get any information they wanted and when they wanted it. According to the New York Packer many prominent members of the exchange favor this proposition, and it may be that It will be adopted in a very short time. Higher Wheat Price at Pendleton. PENDLETON. Or.. Jan. 16. (Special.) At a price of 31.53 a bushel, more than 50. 000 bushels of wheat were purchased today by Pendleton grain dealers. The largest transaction was the sale of IT. 000 bushels to H. W. Collins by Virgil Moore. Mr. Moore received a check for $26,375 for the wheat, which represents his 191-4. 1915 and 1916 crops. Another prominent farmer sold be tween 7000 and 8000 bushels. Wheat prices were raised another 2 cents throughout the interior yesterday. The of tore generally made to farmers were 31-54 for club, $1.56 for fortyfold and 11.58 for blustem. but these bids in some cases were exceeded, as there were purchasers of blue stem at a price equal to $1.74 at tidewater. This Is the highest price ever paid for wheat in the Northwest. In the past three days fully 2.000.000 bush els of wheat, it is estimated, have been sold by farmers, practically all of it to be shipped Kast. The demand from the Bast is strong and la likely to drain all the remaining sup ply left in the Northwest. Dealers are uncertain how much Is left unsold, but fig ure the Quantity at about 6.000.000 bushels. This is the estimate they made some two months ago. but since then wheat has made Its appearance in unexpected places and ouantitles. In fact, threshing ts still being carried on to the Lexington district. whm I. worth more In the country to ship East than to be brought in this way. yet' bids at the local exchange yesterday w.ri l to B cents higher than on Monday. For February bluestem $1.70 was bid. which itsi, t nrlea reached In the "November flurry. The Liverpool cable said of market condi- tlons abroad: "Wheat firm with a scarcity of export of- .... irrtvAli' moderate. Corn firm on light offers and unfavorable Argentine news. Oats strong, with advancing spot ana uon Ann hiivinc. Provisions firm. "irnniiiu Weather unsettled, with, lndl- ,.n.. nf rain. General reports on corn very discouraging." Th reason for the suppression of the of ficial English grain market cables is given . w.ii- Commercial News as follows "A. eentleman who has been In rather close touch with the British buying Is quot ed as stating that the recent action in re rrt tn mi Digression of cables was to a cer tain extent for the purpose of not showing the amount of wheat needed on the other side, and also to. as far as possible, remove from the market any influence which might . -n,-rih rabies. No one but the British Commissioner knew how much of the American wheat had been bought. It was conceded that they controlled a consid erable proportion of the visible supply, while there was a certain amount of invisible wheat which was needed, and notwithstand ing the large supply in India and Australia, they would require all the American sup ply. At the rate this wheat was going out, the inroads on the visible supply would shortly be. pronounced. Theoretically there were not more than 50,000.000 bushels more of American wheat to ship during the en tire six months to come, but it was going cut at more than double that rate, and the shipments would soon become a factor not to ie Ignored in the cash wheat situation." The coarse grains were firm with no busi ness passing. Terminal receipts in cars were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat. Bar. Fir. Oats. Hay. Portland.

Shorts Caught by Recoveries of Two to Eight Points In Automo biles Metal Demand Helps Zinc Shares. NEW TOEK, Jan. IS. Further gains of 1 to 3 points in the usual leaders and more for various speculstlve Issues accompanied tne course of todays strong and broad mar ket. Total sales of 825.000 shares were more than double Uiose of the preceding ses sion. Apart from a growing belief that the re cent selling has been somewhat overdone and that the Immediate future offers mfre ground for hope than discouragement, there appeared to be no definite or tangible reason for the rise. Recoveries from 2 to 8 points In automo biles. General Motors leading, were regarded as a drive against the short interest, but tJs greater strength of metals, lncldlng sine shares, seemed to originate in a renewal of demand, domestic as weH ss foreign. Best quotations were made in the last hour, which also was the most active. The firm tone of sterling and francs was the more noteworthy because of the greater weakness of rates on Berlin. Vienna and Petrograd. while exchange on Rome was at the lowest level since the war. Domestic bonds were strong, especially railway issues, but internationals, notablv Paris 6s, were again offered at fractional concessions. Total sales, par value, J6.370. 000.
