21 THE MORNTXG OltEGOXIAX, TUESDAY, 3IAY 1, ioi: LOCAL WHEAT GAINS Other Markets Are Weak With Slump in Cash Premiums. BUYERS EAST WOULD SELL I'ortyfold Changes Hands on Port land Board at $2.68 and Club at $3.66 Oats Are Firmer and Barley Trade Drags. Although, wheat sold at the best prices of the season at the Merchants' Exchange yes terday and the market, from a local stand point, was firm, the situation East was de cidedly weaker. Local . board transactions were 10.000 bushels of May fortyfold at $2.68 and E000 bushels of May club at $2.66, the former representing a 8-cent and the latter a 1-cent advance over Saturday's posted bids. . There were no Eastern bids except at harp declines, in fact offers by Eastern buyers to resell were fairly numerous. In the Eastern markets the cash premium was off 20 cents from the top of last week. The flattening out of the export trade has left the spot and futures markets In a bad way. but traders here are inclined to think the plump is only temporary and that the usual reaction will soon set in. - The local oats market was steady, with 854 bid for May and $54.50 for June. The California break caused an easier undertone to the barley market. The Liverpool grain cable said: "Wheat easier. Influenced by weakness In Winnipeg and increasing arrivals. Corn firm. Oats dull and easier, with Increasing world's ship ments. Flour, firm, light port arrivals. "Argentine Weather conditions fine. .move xnent of new corn to ports is light and yields Very disappointing.' Hay was firm at last week's high quota tions. San Francisco trade advices say of the hay market In that city: "Practically all of the hay purchased In outside states has now been received and from now on this market must depend upon tne California product. Points In Oregon and Washington that sold bay to California two months ago are now requesting prices from here for shipment of hay back, as they find that they have oversold and are short. This is a peculiar condition, but without doubt will be met by sending some of our first cutting alfalfa to these points If pro ducers do not hold their figures too high. The first cutting alfalfa Is being harvested throughout the alfalfa districts and new alfalfa is being looked for shortly, one car load having arrived already, but if is prob ably too early for It to be thoroughly cured, the past month were 70.000 bushels -of wheat. 2300 tons of oats, 100 tons of barley and 000 tons of mlllfeed of an aggregate value of $328,798. Terminal receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Portland .

Loss in Visible Statement Fails to Affect Chicago Market. Conditions in Spring Crop Kcglon Are Unfavorable. CHICAGO. April SO. Assertion that Euro pean buying of both cash wheat and future deliveries had been halted helped depress wheat prices today. The market closed un settled at 3 o net lower to 4o gain with May at $2.71 and July at $2.25 I 2.26 V Corn finished ?lc down, oats c off to o advance, and provisions vsxylng from 87c decline to a rise or 10c Sharp upturns at the opening In wheat prices reflected to a considerable- extent opinions expressed by many traders that the bearish effect of suppressing grain spec ulation in Canada would be only transient. so far as markets In the United States were concerned. It was not long, however, before more sober views began to count, and th fresh advances ware virtually wiped out. There was much earnest discussion as to the possibility of Government measures look ing to a maximum limit being fixed on do mestic prices, aa dona in Canada and Gnat Britain, unfavorable weather conditions In the Spring crop region had only a temporary bullish influence. Opening prices, which ran red from Ho to 60 higher, with May at 12.75 2.78 and July at $2.28 02.30, were followed by an additional Jump of 4 cents in extreme cases, but then a general fall that on some transactions went below Sat urday's finish. Increased weakness developed later, not withstanding announcement that the United States' visible supply total was the lowest at this sesson In mors than 10 years. The entente allies wera said to b making no purchases of either cash or futures, and It was asserted the Belgian Relief Commission had enough wheat bought to last until next August. Corn and oats followed wheat, and trade was meager, except that foreign govern ments were credited with buying consider able amounts of future deliveries of oats here. On the other hand, large Increases of seeded acreage were reported In the states which have the heaviest oats production. Provisions averaged higher, as a result of the readiness with which offertngs were ab sorbed by commission houses. Breaks In ti value of grain and hogs failed to act as an offset.
