LITTLE WHEAT LEFT
Dealers Believe Official Fig
ures Overestimated.
OREGON HOLDINGS SMALL
Supply Remaining Unsold In North
west Will Be Required by Pa
cific Coast Mills Before
New Crop Comes.
The wheat market eased off yesterday,
with bids at the Merchants' Exchange 1 to
8 cents lower than on Thursday. Inquiries
from the Bast were few. as the buyers now
lcnow It Is Impossible to count on early ship
ments. No business was reported from the
country.
The Government's estimate of unsold
frtocki of wheat In the Northwest Is con
sidered by the trade here as too high. Ore
con Is given 2.740.000 bushels and Wash
ington 4.S20.000 bushels In farmers' hands.
8om. dealers believe a total of 8.600.000
bushels In the two states would be nearer
the mark. First-hand stocks In Oregon have
been tabulated at 1.000.000 bushels.
The quantity remaining In farmers and
dealers' hands can easily be consumed on
the Coast, as the Coast millers will need
5.000.000 to 6.000.000 bushels before the new
crop Is harvested.
The oats and barley markets were quiet,
with bids on the local board 25 to CO cents
lower than the day before. The future of
the oats market Is favorable, based on the
Government report. Stocks In the United
States are 200.000,000 bushels less than a
year ago. There Is a bigger export demand
for oats than for wheat, and the new crop
Is farther off. Barley la practically out
of farmers' hands, and with corn 'abnor
mally high, an upward trend of oats values
la looked for.
The Liverpool grain cables said:
Wheat strong, with moderate arrivals
and expectations of smaller world's ship
ments. Corn strong, with American Gov
ernment report and light Argentine sup
plies. Oats firm. Flour firm, with millers
supplies light, foreign arrivals moderate,
cold weather Increasing consumption.
Freights are strong everywhere, available
bottoms 6Carce and rates high.
"Indian and Australian exports Interfered
with.
"Argentine weather conditions unsettled,
occasional shower. Believed crop has been
underestimated. General agricultural out
look this season bad.
"Shipments this week Wheat, 1.532.000
bushels; com, 3SB.000 bushels: oata, none."
Exports from North America this week
were 5.610.000 bushels of wheat and 1.284.
000 bushels of corn.

APPLE EMBARGO IS DISCONTINUED
Export Slarket Not Affected by British
Government Ruling.
According to Eastern apple exporters, the
ruling recently made by the British gov
ernment shutting out all Import in the way
of food supplies that do not come under the
necessaries of life and which placed on
embargo on apples, will not affect the ex
ports to any extent, principally because the
big operators have discontinued this foreign
. demand on account of lack of steamship
pace.
The ruling went Into effect February 17,
but the British government made a proviso
to the effect that any apples sold for de
livery In England prior to that time would
be allowed to come in provided exporters
could furnish affidavits and other satisfac
tory evidence to effect that the sale was
consummated before that date. Commenting
on the subject the New York Packer says:
"Steamship companies this week were not
accepting any apples for delivery In England
unless the shipper signed a guarantee that
he would pay the freight back to America
if the British government refused to allow
the fruit to be unloaded. So it looks as
though the exporting of apples for this sea
son at least Is at an end.
"There was some speculation In butter
and egg trade this week as to whether those
commodities would be Included In the em
bargo. Some of the big operators do not
think that they will because they come un
der the head of necessary food and eggs
at Summer prices are cheaper than meat.
Of course, there have been no butter and
eggs exported for several weeks, but Just
what the British government will no on
these commodities when stock becomes more
plentiful is problematical."
WOOL PRICE OF 30 13 raEDICTED
afarket for Scoured Product Expected to
Reach That Figure.
Wool trading at Boston, according to mall
advices from that city, baa been lighter,
wing to the small amount of unsold wool
available. Values continue to show an up
ward trend and predictions of scoured prices
reaching as high as $2.50 provided the war
lasts long enough, are made, says a corre
pondent of the New York Commercial.
The Western markets, likewise, are very
strong. A feature of the market here Is
the readjustment of stocks among differ
ent bouses. One house which carries a
lot of wool of a specific grade, but not
enough to invite a transaction, finds others
with small amounts which are of little use
by themselves. Both are accommodated.
by a deal between therrieelvee.
Most of the buslnesa In greasy wools
has been In South America and Cape sorta
In the former, one house reports the sale
of some 450.000 pounds, mainly off grades.
at private terms. uiner translers have
been made on the basis of 51 to 53 cents
for Buenos Aires wools and $1.05 to $1.25
clean for Montevideo sorts. A dealer reports
offers from South America for some Monte
video fours and fives at 55 cents, or 57 cents
laid down here, the wool yielding 74 per
cent- The price Is considered too high, how
ever, especially with Buenos Aires cross
breds available at the quotations mentioned.
HEM AND FOB POTATOES IS SMALL
Steamer Vegetables Include Asparagus and
Telephone Peas.
The potato market continues Inactive.' A
few buyers are quoting $2.75 to $3 In the
country, but there Is practically no demand
for shipping, nor are farmers offering to
ell. On the street Jobbing quotations range
from 13.25 to $3.50, with but little move
ment. The steamer last night brought a genera
assortment of Southern vegetables. Includ
ing asparagus and the first shipment of tele
phone peas. The latter will sell at 17 cents
a pound. Walla Walla spinach la more
plentiful and Is quoted at $L50 a box.
A car of Florida grapefruit, which may be
the last of the season, was unloaded and put
on sale at 6 38.50.
I'.QGS STEADY, WITH GOOD DEMAND
Country Cube Butter Drags Poultry and
Meats Firm.
The egg market was steady, with 24 cents
the general quotation, case count. Storage
operations axe broadening and take care of
the surplua The San Francisco market was
firm and higher at 29 cent. Inquiries for
Oregon eggs were received from Los Ange
les. Only about 10 days ago dealers In that
city were offering to sell eggs here.
Butter dragged with but tittle demand on
the street for country cubes.
There were no changes of Importance In
the poultry or dressed meat markets. Both
lines were reported Arm.
Linseed Oil Advances.
An advance of 8 cents a gallon In linseed
oil was announced yesterday. The new
quotations on raw oil are $1.11 In barrels
and $1.18 in cases; on boiled oil, $1.13 In
barrels and $1.20 In cases.
Spot Canned Goods Advancing.

of spot canned goods. These changes are

by packers on futures.

Foremost among the accelerating factors

tations ever known In the trade. Increase
of the General Motors dividend from a 4 to

RAW MATERIAL MOVEMENT FREER
Domestic Trade Continues Ileavler Than
Usual at This Period.
NEW YORK, March 9. Tomorrow Dun's
Review will say:
A certain hesitation in business, with
shrinkage In Its volume la natural at tills
season and there Is now all the more rea
son for it because of present disturbing
elements. Yet the volume of transac
tions Is greater than usual at this period
and the position of commerce and Industry
remains remarkably strong, notwithstanding
the foreign complications, transportation de.
lays and doubts about future supplies and
prices.
Recent storms and cold hindered efforts
to relieve the freight congestion, and over
seas shipments continue difficult and un
certain, but domestic movements of raw
materials and products are freer and there
Is somewhat less restraint on manufactur
ing actlvltlea Outputs In many directions,
however, have appreciably diminished, and
Inability to make adequate progress in re
ducing accumulated contracts still pre
vents the acceptance of considerable new
business. Weekly bank clearings are

(10,000 TO BE ISED TO REBUILD
FLAXIXG MILL M3AB BAKER.
Loading; Shed to Overcome Car Shortage
and to Reduce Handling: Necessary
Is Planned by Company.
BAKER, Or., March 9. (Special.)
Improvements costing; $25,000 are
planned by the Stoddard Lumber Com
pany to be started as soon as the
weather will permit, according to an
announcement by A. S. Shockley, vice
president of the company, today.
The replacing of the planing: mill will
consume In all about $10,000, says Mr.
Shockley, and the remainder will be
used to construct a loading shed, a
fireproof tile boiler-room, to duplicate
certain mill machinery and for other
improvements in the yards.
The machinery for the pianino; mill
has arrived and Is ready to be In
stalled as soon as housing- can be built.
The new machinery for the mill Is ex
pected to Increase the capacity from
65.000 to 90,000 feet a day.
A marked effect of the new loading
shed, says Mr. Shockley, will be to
minimize the inconvenience that Is now
caused by a temporary shortage of cars.
Under the new system lumber can be
loaded upon trucks, wheeled Into this
shed and then wheeled out again as
soon as It Is needed. All this can be
done with much less handling: than
would be necessary under the present
system, and there will be less depre
ciation from weathering. ,
The tile shed will greatly decrease
danger from fire, which last Fall de
stroyed, the planing- mill.

Halting or Export Demand More
Than Offsets Bullish Erfects of
Government Estimate of Re
duced Farm Wheat Reserves.
CHICAGO. March a. Halting of export
demand today acted as more than an off
set for the bullish effects of diminished
farm reserves. The market closed heavy
Sc to 2 HO net lower, with May at $1.87 V4
to $1.87 and July at $L5SV4 to $1. SOS
Corn gained He to He Oats finished un
changed to La down, and pro vial one Irreg
ular, ranging from l2o decline to a rise of
o cents.
Although some leading traders contend
ed that the Government report on farm re
serves had put the wheat market on a
purely domestlo basis, the bullish Influ
ence of the report did not last beyond
the first half of the day. A general rush
to buy took place at the outset, but the
consequent advance In prices enoountered
free sales on the part of holders who were
In a position to resllze profits.
During the late trading, tonga In wheat
were further discouraged owing to advlcee
that the Liverpool Steamship Owners' As
sociation declared the food control meas
ures so far taken by the British govern
ment had failed, and that only the most
radical curtailment of Imports and of ton
nage used for military purposes could pre
vent a serious shortage or rooasturra.
Corn advanced to new high levels, but
reacted to some extent When wheat turned
weak.
Provisions averaged lower in consequenee
of announcements that the British govern
ment had taken control of all the lard and
bacon In the United Kingdom and would
hereafter fix prices. The market here gave
no evidence that any shipping business was
being done.

ROAD WORK PROPOSED
CLARKE RESIDENTS CONSIDER.
BONDING PROPERTY FOR. PAVING.
Several Improvement Project Betas;
Discussed, Including; S trtp of
' Pacific BlgAwsy.
VANCOUVER, "Wash., March 9.
(Special.) The desire and need of
hard-surface roads in Clarke County Is
being felt strongly by several com
munities, and plans are being made
now to have a large amount of roads
hard-surfaced this year. There Is a
movement started to have the road to
Camas hard-surfaced, the property
owners to bond their property to bear
part of the cost and the county paying
part of the cost." .
The people along- the road to Battle
Ground are also working- on a similar
plan, on a basis of about $5 an acre.
This would raise enough, with what
the county has to expend, to hard-surface
the road from Salmon Creek to
Battle Ground, on the Pacific Highway.
It is possible that the road to Camas
and Washouga.1 will be hard-surfaced
and extended above Washougal to con
nect with State Aid Road No. 8, over
the mountain from Skamania County.
A number of good roads meetings are
being held and petitions are being- cir
culated. There Is rivalry between the people
living on the River road to Camas and
the Fourth Plain road. Both are well-
traveled roads, but the one that is
bard-surfaced first will have the ad
vantage. CLARKE ORCHARDS PRUNED
Another Big Prune Crop Is Looked
For This "Year.
VANCOUVER. Wash., March 8. Spe
cial.) Fruitgrowers in many parts of
the county are Just completing; pruning
their prune orchards. The great dam
age to prune trees during; the sleet
storm last year did much to convince
orchardists that they should keep their
trees well pruned.
A number of older orchards suffered
grreat loss by having; the tops broken
out of the trees by the weight of Ice.
Many -were killed. The prunegrowers
last year had a good crop In nearly all
parts of the county and have high
hopes that this year will be as rood.
