WHEAT BIDS AT TOP
Former Local Record Prices
Are Exceeded.
CENT GAIN OVER JANUARY
Demand Cornea From California
Points Where Tonnage Is Not
Available Inquiry From East
Small Oata Market Firm.
The highest -wheat prices on record were
posted at the Merchants Exchange yester
day. For bluestem prompt and April de
livery $1.73 was bid. and for Ma there was
an offer of $1.74. The latter price Is a cent
better than the former top, which was
reached on January 19. Forty-fold, at $1.69.
equaled the best previous quotation for this
sort of wheat, while cluti. at S1.68. and red
Russian, at $1.64. were each a cent higher
than the January figures.
The local uplift was In Un with the ad
vance In eastern option markets. There
was not the same gain, however. In cash
prloes throughout the Cast, and the Inquiry
from that quarter was by no means active.
There was some demand from California for
wheat, but it came from points for which
tonnage is not available. t
Oats were firmer with Inquiry from the
South. One hundred tons of March oats
were sold at the exchange at $37.50. One
hundred tons of April shorts were sold at
$31.
The Liverpool grain cable salds
'Freight market strong, holders reserved,
bottoms Insufficient, this Is against arrivals
at Untied Kingdom or continental ports.
Political situation practically unchanged, ac
tivities favor allies. Wheat steady on mod
erate world's shipments and dearer export
offers. American strength causing holders to
remain firm. Corn firm on moderate ar
rivals and first-hand offers. North America
shipments last week: Corn. 1,782,000; oata,
1.724,000. Argentina Weather, clear and
warm, reports on corn unfavorable as to
yield; wheat moving slowly."

ROAD MEETING IS HELD
Orenco Farmers Hear Discussion of
Bond Measure.
ORENCO. Or, March 9. (Special.)
A good roads meeting was held In
Orenco. Saturday, which was attended
by a large number of farmers from the
surrounding country. The foundation
was laid for a permanent organization
to work for better roads in this section
of Washington County.
The sentiment was strongly empha
sized that co-operation and a united
community were necessary to get re
sults. State Senator Conrad P Olson, of
Portland, explained the provision of the
$6,000,000 bond issue to be voted upon
at a general election in June. Post
master Myers and D. C. Lewis, from
Portland, were also speakers.
A committee was appointed to meet
the State Highway Commission rela
tive to making the Cornell -oad, lead
ing from Portland to Forest Grove, a
state highway. This road is the short
est and most direct route. Preparatory
measures were discussed which will be
necessary to put the roadbed in condi
tion for paving. Another meeting will
be held next Saturday and a lunch will
be served at noon.

made tbe farmers and stockmen hopeful that
the annual hay shortage will be minimized.

Railway Strike Settlement and Supreme
Court Decision Give Market
Sudden Upturn.
CHICAGO, March 19. Decided advances
today In the value of wheat followed the
railway strike settlement and the Supreme
Court decision that the Adamson eight-hour
law was constitutional. Prices closed strong.
2Hc to 4Vfcc net higher, with May at $1.83
to $1.88 'd and July $1.58H to $1.58Vx. Corn
gained ITsc to 8c oats c to c and pro
visions 27c to $1.15.
At first the wheat market made only
moderate upturns In response to announce
ments that the threatened walkout of rail
road employes had been declared off. Tem
porarily bullish sentiment was restrained by
tbe expected continuance of such freight em
bargoes as had been due to congested fa
cilities. Besides, demand from . would-be
purchasers waa checked by uncertainty
over the Increasing destruction of American
shipping in the war sone.
Bearish crop reports from the Southwest
as well as a revival of rumors of efforts for
a separate peace between Austria and Rus
sia acted further as a transient weight on
tbe Adamson law decision, bowever. the
buying movement broadened out and quo
tations went up with a rush.
A substantial decrease In the United States
visible supply total counted likewise In favor
of higher prices, and so. too. did the can
cellation of railroad embargoes.
Corn advanced to new high price records.
Seaboard buying and active demand from in
dustries were strongly In evidence and were
ascribed largely to the strike settlement.
Oats rose with other grain. Southern
call for cash oats was keen and premiums
were offered for Immediate shipment.
Sharp gains In provisions accompanied
the improvement in the rait situation. Scar
city of hog arrivals formed another stimu
lus to buyers. May delivery of pork, lard
and ribs went to the topmost prices yet.

In Foreign Exchange.
NEW YORK. March 19. Adjustment of
the railway labor problem and the decision
of the Supreme Court, upholding the legality
of the Adamson act, provoked an outburst
of bullish enthusiasm and short-covering in
today's market, the movement extending to I
aii parts ot the list. In the main, .rails de
rived the greatest benefit, rising spiritedly
on the news from Washington.
Irregular tendencies at the. outset denoted
a degree of uneasiness, arising from latest
developments affecting this country's rela
tions with Germany, shippings and a few
industrials falling under last week's final
prices.
Rallies occurred almost Immediately en
heavy buying of United States Steel. Bethle
hem Steel, Central Leather and ether specu
lative Issues.

6 of the old at 138. advances of 2 to 5 points
were recorded by Crucible Steel. Gulf States
Steel, Lackawanna Steel and Republic Iron.
United States Steel showed a gross gain
of 2 m at 115, but forfeited much of this
advantage before the close with other indus
trials. Equipments were to the fore at advances
of 2 to 4 points for American and Baldwin
Locomotive. New York Airbrake and Amer
ican Continental Can, coppers, motors, oils.

pany, Ohio Gas. Western Union and half a
score of unclassified stocks.
