WHEAT RISE RAPID
Bluestem Sells in Country at
j $1.82, Coast Basis.. .
SOUTHERN DEMAND STRONG
Oats Advance Sharply on Buying for
Stock Country and Shipment
to CaliforniaGovernment
Calls for Bids.
Wheat advanced briskly In tb.e local mar
ket yesterday under the Influence of the bis
rise In the East, brought about by alarming
crop reports. At the Merchants Exchange
bids were lifted 2 to S cents, with $1.77
offered for bluestem, $1.72 for fortyfold,
tl.7001.71 for club and S1.70 for red Rus
sian. In the interior, as has been the case
throughout the season, higher prices were
paid for wheat to ship East than to come
this way. Business of this character was
worked In bluestem at a price equal to S1.82
Back coast. '
As a general thing the Eastern Inquiries
were for prompt shipment, and where deal
ers could get equipment to go through they
could sell at good prices for immediate ship
ment. Millers In the East were not Inter
ested in 60-day shipment.
The California demand for both wheat and
eats is becoming a feature of the market,
but here, too, the scarcity of tonnage inter
feres with business. 80 far this season Cali
fornia has received only 1.758,203 bushels
of wheat from the Northwest, against 4,363.
842 bushels In the same period last season,
and heavy buying. It is believed, will have
to be done shortly.
Oats bids were raised 75 cents at the Ex
change to $40.50 for prompt and $41 for May
delivery. At Lewlston. oats sold during the
day for shipment into the stock country at
$41 SO f. o. b. cars, equal to $44.50 here.
The Government has called for bids to be
tipened on May 2 In this city for 3000 tons
of old-crop oats to be shipped to the Philip
pines. Proposals are also asked on 3000
tons of old-crop hay and 100 tons of bran.
The Liverpool grain cable said:
"Wheat dull and easier, increased arrivals,
larger world's shipments to United Kingdom.
Corn very firm, good demand, moderate ar-
rivals. Oats, firm, good spot demand. Ex
ports from North America last week Wheat.
8.r;97,000 bushels: corn, 1.767,000 bushels;
oats. 9L'7,000 bushels.
"United Kingdom Local stock Increasing
slowly, floating quantities materially en
larged. "India Weather generally favorable. Har
vest progressing.
"Argentina Weather clear and mild. Corn
prospects unfavorable. Holders firm.
"United Kingdom private advices indi
cate that damage is being overdone In
America."
The Chicago market had an unconfirmed
rumor that the German submarines had
been ordered to their stations.
Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported
fcy the Merchants' Exchange as follows:

WALL STREET CONFIDENT
Shorts Cover Extensively In Final
Hour on Progress of Events at
Washington Steel and '
Equipments Strong-.
NEW YORK. April 2. Confidence In the
outcome of the International crisis was ex
pressed by the stock market today, war Is
sues, shippings and standard shares rising
2 to 6 points. Sales approximated 685,000
shares.
Representative stocks were relatively neg
lected on the resumption of trading, the
moderate dealings st irregular price changes
being largely restricted to specialties and
issues of minor Importance. United States
Steel, the accepted leader, rose and fell
within a fractional radius, and rails In
clined to lower levels. Canadian Pacific
yielding a point. Shippings, Central Leath
er and General Motors were included among
tha backward shares, with gains of 1 to
111 points for Ohio Gas, Mexican Petroleum.
American Woolen and Wilson Packing.
Dealings during the dull lorenoon reflect
ed the attitude of traders toward Impend
ing developments at Washington. The tone
was more hesitant In the first hour, but
became strong later, shippings reversing
their reactionary trend with appreciable
gains In rails, coppers and prominent indus
trials, as represented by United States Steel
and Bethlehem Steel. .
Equipments also rose substantially, their
advance being attended by reports of the
closing of new Russian contracts under
favorable terms. Special Issues continued
their Initial upward movement. Ohio Gas
being most conspicuous at an extreme gain
of 51 points to the new record of 139.
Recessions of 1 to 3 points in motors and
accessories marked the operations of the
early afternoon. These were counterbalanced,
however, by firmer tendencies in leading in
dustrials and metals.
Highest prices were scored In the active
final hour, shorts covering extensively on
the progress of events at Washington. The
closing was strong. The bond market was
irregular.

DEMAND IS HEAVY
Bullish Crop Estimates Tend
to Lift Wheat Market.
EXPECTED RAINFALL FAILS
May Option at Chicago Approaches
AVithin Fraction of $2 Mark.
Conditions in Middle
West Are Bad.
CHICAGO. April 2. Failure of expected
general rains In the West and Southwest
led to active buying of wheat today and did
a good deal to bring about a sharp advance
In prices. Bullish crop estimates tended
also to lift the market, one authority declar
ing the condition of Winter wheat as a
whole to be 71.1 as against a 10-year aver
age of 87. The bears were further handi
capped by the prospect of vigorous war
measures likely to facilitate grain shipments
to Europe.
Opening quotations, which ranged from
the same as Saturday's finish to IVio higher,
were followed by decided upturns all around.
New top figures of $1.99H were reached by
May wheat as a result of demand from cash
houses and those with Western connections.
At Omaha $2 was paid. The close was
strong. 2o to 4Sc not higher, with May
at $1.99 to $1.99. and July at $1.67 S to
$1.67 T,.
Absence of selling pressure allowed corn
to ascend to a new high price record for the
season. Leading houses were conspicuous
purchasers. After opening unchanged to
IMic higher, the market scored a big general
advance.
Smallness of receipts h&d a bullish Influ
ence and No. 2 yellow In the sample market
sold as high as $1.23 a bushel. The close
was strong at 84o to 4c net advance.
Oats duplicated the strength of other
cereals. Commission firms were nearly all
on the buying side.
Provisions rallied owing to the rise of
grain values. At first the market had re
flected declines in the price of hogs.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

duction of foodstuffs during the current
year, with the certainty of extraordinary
demand, whether the war continues or ends.
No general estimate can yet bo reliably
made as to production tn this district.
The amount and chronological distribution of
precipitation are vital factors. Thus far
there Is a slight deficiency In Washington.
Oregon and California, offset by unusually
heavy snows In tha mountains, assuring the
supply of water for irrigation upon which
California agriculture, in ' particular. so
largely depends.
Three-fifths of TJtan wheat Is Fall plant
ed. Last Fall 9000 acres more were plant
ed than tn any previous year. Idaho re
ports good prospects In the section where
there was practical failure last year. In
California it Is estimated that barley acre
age will be Increased from 850.000 to 800.
OOO, and the crop from 45O.O00 tons to 900.
0O0. Hops and alfalfa will be considerably
displaced for potatoes, beans and sugar
beets, and large Increases are anticipated
In these crops. In various sections consid
erable Increases are reported of dairy eat
tle and poultry. Conditions are favorable
for cattle and sheer, as green feed is now
plentiful. To some extent high prices have
Induced sale of cattle which should have
been kept In the herds. Sheep shearing has
begun. Sales of wool at prices above 40
cents are common, with reports of 60 cents
and 60 cents tn some cases
It is predicted that In California 100.000
acres will be planted to rice, the market
for which is rapidly extending because of
superior quality.
Indications are for an exceptionally large
crop of deciduous fruits. Canned goods
from the last crop are practically all out
of first hands, and prices are high.
The run of salmon la according to fairly
well known cycles, varying with different
varieties. It Is claimed that there will be
a conjunction of these various cycles this
vear. and that the pack of all varieties will
consequently be heavy, possibly as much
as 0.000.000 or 10,000.000 cases, compared
with 7,121,000 cases last year.
So far as can now be Judged, the general
outlook Is favorable for an exceptionally
large output of foodstuffs In this district
this year.
Important contracts for British account
have been placed with Paclfio Coast yards
for construction of ships. This Industry
centers chiefly in Seattle and San Fran
cisco, but Portland, which a year ago had
yards only for building wooden ships, now
has three for building steeel ships. This
industry Is expanding enormously and prices
likewise. Contracts are said to have been
placed by the United States Government
for building two cruisers at Seattle and two
at San Francisco.
Reports from about two-thirds of the
mills Indicate that In 1918 the lumber cut
of this district Increased l-3 per cent
over 1913, compared with an Increase of 8.4
er cent for the rest of the country. This
district produced 88 per cent of the total.
Lack of transportation has greatly ham
pered this and practically all other indus
tries. In February the petroleum production of
the California field averaged 262.528 bar
rels, and the shmments 299.857. stored
stocks declining 1,031,960 barrels.
v-opper production ts still expanding, with
extraordinarily high prices, making the out
put of almost fabulous value.
Commerce with Alaska In 1916 was al
most $120,000,000. an increase of $S7.000.
000 over 1U15. Copper worth $35,000,000
and canned salmon worth $21,500,000 both
exceeded the value of the gold and silver
output aggregating $16,300,000. From 1867
to 1916. Alaska produced sea and fur prod
ucts valued at $323,000,000, and minerals
valued at $345,000,000.
In the totals of exports and imports dur
ing 1916 Seattlee stood fourth of the United
States ports with $360,57.000. Boston and
Philadelphia leading by $26,000,000 and $63.
000.000, respectively. San Francisco stood
ninth, with $243,886,000. Gold Imports and
exports at Pacific Coast ports, during 1914,
were as follows:
Imports. Exports.
San Francisco $38,223,175 $43,954,220
Los Angeles 33.525 60.000
Seattle 8.642,103 5.623.223
Total $43,898,805 $51,627,442
Clearings for 19 principal cities oC this
district during February were 32 per cent
greater than for the corresponding month
last year. Seattle leading with an Increase
of 50 per cent, followed by Salt Lake City,
with 85 per cent, and Los Angeles, with 80
per cent. Building permits show only slight
gain.
Southern California has had a record num
ber of visitors this season, estimated at 130.
000. remaining an average of 30 days, and
spending on an average total of over $1,000.
00O per day.
Mercantile conditions are reported as
favorable, and In general the year promises
to be one of prosperity for this entire dis
