SOUTH NEEDS FEED
Strong Demand for Coarse
Grains as Well as Wheat.
LATTER SHARPLY HIGHER
April Barley Sells at Local Exchange
at $55 Per Ton Oats Bids Are
Raised for All Deliveries.
California Buying Hay.
Although the Eastern wheat markets were
Uncertain yesterday Portland price were
raised sharply. At the Merchant's Exchange
bids for bluestera were raised 2 to 3 cents,
club offers were 3 to 6 cents higher and
other wheats were advanced 114 to S cents.
Demand from California was the strong
factor In all cereal markets. Not only wheat
but oats and other feed grains are wanted
badly there, a stocks now are practically
exhausted. Bids for oats were advanced
50 to 76 cents and barley prices were pushed
up to a point $1 to $4 above those bid on
Saturday. One hundred tons of April barley
were sold at $53,
The hay market continues firm with, stocks
cleaning up fast, California being a large
buyer of Oregon hay. A San Francisco trade
Circular says of Oregon hay In that market:
"Receipts of hay for the past week were
1878 tons as against last week 1589 tons.
Xlost of this hay, as was the case last week.
came from Oregon and Washington from
purchases made by dealers from this city
during the last 80 or 40 days.
"Very little California hay is coming In
and from the general reports received In
this city from country districts, there ts very
little California hay yet to come In as the
country warehouses have very little hay
left on hand. Most of this belongs to Ban
Francisco dealers and Is held against con
tracts which they have made for delivery
throughout the season1 and on account of
which they must of necessity hold some of
this hay until probably July.
""Were It not for the hay from Oregon,
the amount of hay that would be coming
Into this market would be practically nomi
nal, as shown by the small receipts of Cali
fornia hay at this time, and It must be fig
ured that even then some of these receipts
are brought In for deliveries on contracts
made earlier in the season. Consumers are
backward in taking to this Oregon and
'Washington hay, as It has not the appear
ance of our California product, although it
Is claimed that It Is of equally good feeding
qualities. However, It Is only a matter of
a short time before It will be necessary for
consumers to feed this hay or go without.
as the California hay will not stretch far
enough around. New crops are backward
and from two weeks to a month later than
Usual.
'New first cutting alfalfa will probably
be available about the 15th to 20th of May
for the first arrivals, but this will not be
used In any quantity for horse feed owing to
the danger from colic; old hay will have to
be fed, therefore. Into July at least.'
Terminal receipts. In cars, were reported
by the Merchant's Exchange as follows

ENGLISH HOI'S MOUK THAN AM E'l.K
Grower, Advised to Reduce Their Acreage
at Least Half.
English hopyards will produce more hops
than are required in England and there Is
no possibility of American hops being mar
keted there while the war continues. The
president of the British Board of Agricul
ture has addressed the following letter to
English hopgrowers:
'Numerous representations have been re
ceived by Mr. Prothero ss to the effect
which the regulations restricting the output
of beer In the current year will have upon
the demand for hops. The amount of beer
which may Che brewed this year has been
fixed at 10,000,000 barrels, and the hops re
quired for this quantity of beer would be
grown upon about half of the present acre
age under hops. There exists also a consid
erable stock of hops in store. If the growers
crop anything like their present acreaee of
hops the amount produced would be so much
In excess of any possible demand that every
grower would suffer heavy loss and might
find his hops unsaleable.
At the same time the national need for
the maximum production of food calls for
the devotion of as much as possible of the
rich, highly manured hop land to the
growth of crops which serve directly or in
directly for human food. Mr. Prothero un
derstands that many growers have already
begun to grub their hops and replace them
by another crop. Owing to the shortage of
labor grubbing cannot be carried out uni
versally at the same time. Mr. Prothero
does not desire such a complete destruction
of the crop as would render th. speedy re
generation of the industry impossible when
the war is over. As a temporary measure
potatoes, vegetables, root crops and even
beans can be grown between the rows with
out pulling the vines up, but leaving the
plant to grow another season.

STORAGE! BUYING OF EGGS CEASES
With Demand Ended. Prices Take to Down
Grade Butter Is Weak.
The egg market apparently has started on
the down grade, a movement that will be
welcomed by dealer, as well as everyone
else except producers. There was practical
ly no market yesterday and prices were
wholly nominal. A few small lots sold early
In the day at last week's quotations, but
some of thes. deals wer. later canceled.
The big buyers who supported the market
last week have withdrawn and from now on
the market may be left to Itself, with the
flush of the laying season at hand. A 80-cent
market for today was predicted by some of
the dealers. I
The butter market was weak with very
little demand for cubes. Prints -were put
out at the new reduced quotation already an
nounced tn these columns.
The demand for poultry and dressed meats
was small and prices were unchanged from
Saturday.
SMALL SEED POTATOES ARB WANTED
Stock, Otherwise Thrown Away, Will Be
Given to Poor for Planting.
In an effort to get a suffllcent supply
of seed potatoes for free distribution among
the poor, Thomas O. Farrell has sent the
following circular letter to potato growers:
A great many In tae city who can get
town lot to cultivate are desirous of rais
ing some potatoes. Many of these folk are
poor, very poor, and not in a position to
buy seed. The city Is giving out what seed
it can get to deserving parties, and It is
running short. A committee has been ap
pointed, of which the writer is a member.
to solicit from farmers and potato-handlers
anything in the way of very small seed
potatoes, that these poor people may not
go without seed. We figure that there are
on many farms and grading points a lot
of very small potatoes too small for com
mercial use. either for table or seed: little
ones the size of marbles or better. It is
desired that all possible of these be shipped
to a point here for free distribution. Have
you any of these T If you have not. per-
naps your friends have, or perhaps some
warehouseman of whom you know h
something which will, in a few days, be
worthless, thrown out or dumped to the
stock. Will you not make an effort to send
a few bags of these for the use as seed by
the poor of this city? Any that may grow
from them will not make any difference to
you in the sale of your potatoes. There
will not be enough potatoes raised In this
state to satisfy the demand we are quite
sure of this and the price will be all that
you will desire, so open your heart ( and
those t your friends ) and send in some
of these little potatoes. Eend them to George
1. Davenport. 144 Front street, who will
treat them with formaldehyde and se to
the distribution. He will send you a check
for the price of the bags."

Early Presanrc Liquidation of
Copper Heavy.
NEW TORK. April 23. 7e'sllngs In stocks
today differed in no important particular
from those of the past fortnight, except that
operations were on a lighter and narrower
basis. Such Initiative as was seen at odd
moments owed its Impulse wholly to the pro
fessionals, who sold of one group bought of
another.
Events over the week-end threw no new
light on Investment or speculative conditions,
aside from the ease with which banking in
terests absorbed the Treasury offering of
$200,000,000 of certificates placed by Feder.
al reserve institutions.
Opening quotations were steady, but soon
became irregular. Liquidation of coppers
added to the unsettlement of the forenoon,
marines later displaying general heaviness.
Specialties made full recoveries later.
United States Steel scored a net gain of
practically a point. Ralls were relegated to
a place of secondary Importance with no
materia) alteration of prices. Sales amounted
to 415.000 shares.
Slight recessions were registered by in
vestment bonds. Total sales par value
$2,840,000. United Stsites bonds were us.

WHEAT TRADE SLACK
Scarcity ef Speculative Buying
Orders in Chicago Pit.
CROP PROSPECTS IMPROVE
Domestic Household Demand for
Flour Has Flattened Out Slay
Option Later Aided by Largo
Decrease In Visible.
CHICAGO, April 21. Restriction of wheat
trading to th. smallest volume In weeks
was accompanied today by a decided lower
ing of prices, but there was something of
rally afterward owing o a notable falling
off In th. United States visible supply total.
Th. market closed unsettled at $2.32 2.82
for May and $1.97ei.9S for July, with
he finish as a whole ranging from lc
decline to le advance as compared with
Saturdays latest figures. Corn closed c
to lc down and oats off o to o. In
provisions the outcome varied from 2e loss
to a rise of 17 cents.
Scarcity of buying orders was especially
evident at th. outset In the wheat pit. One
reason assigned was that the urgent domes
tic household demand for flour was said to
have flattened out. and that European call
for wheat was likely to be directed In the
main to the Canadian stock. Reports of
Improved crop prospects In the Southwest
tended further to handicap the bull side,
and so did current estimates of a probable
10 per cent Increase of seeded acreage In
Canada this season. Besides, heavy mar
gins asked from speculative operators con
tinued to act ss a curb.
Admission that the wheaf market had
become temporarily somewhat oversold was
general in the last half of the day. when
the- extent of the decrease In the visible
supply was apparent. Th. shrinkage
amounted to nearly 4.000.000 bushels end
brought the total down to more than 20.000,-
000 bushels under the total at the cor
responding time last year.
Corn, like wbeat. sagged from lack or
aggressive demand. A recovery In part
took place later. Influenced, as In the case
of wheat, by a falling off in th. visible
supply figures.
Oats had no independent action. -vraae
was light.
Heaviness of th. hog market and grain
market weakened provisions, but an active
buying movement as to lard led afterward
to a moderate general upturn. uiierings
dried up.
Leading futures ranged as follows 1

Knott street, from Van

WEATHER RECORD IS BAD
March and April Cold and Rainfall
Above Normal.
Forecaster Beals can look back on
March and April Just passed with some
what the same morbid pride with
which a person looks back on an op
eration that resulted in the elimina
tion of a peculiarly obnoxious appen
dixfor the record of these months is
both unpleasant and unusual.
They have been colder, on the av
erage, than corresponding months in
previous years, ranging from 2 to 3.5
degrees below the average. Four days
only tn the two months thus far have
escaped rain. Those were April IS
and 17.
There is an excess of rain of 2.23
Inches for the two months to date.
POSTAL RECEIPTS GAINING
Amount of Parcels Handled Also Is
Greater Than Before War.
During the first IS days of this
month $11,681.10 was paid for postaga
on outgoing parcel-post packages from
the Portlana postofflce. while in the same
period of 1914 the amount waa $9627.40.
In tho same time 200 tons cf post mat
ter was received and dispatched here,
while in the first 13 days of April. 1914,
the showing was 146 tons.
From April 2 to 16 the Portland post
office parcel-post packages going
through the postoffice numbered 230.215
and- the corresponding days in 1914 are
credited with 148.243 packages. Deliv
ery by automobile in 1914 cost 4.63 cents
& package and today the cost is 3.7
cents a package. The cost of parcel
post distribution here is said by Post
