NEW YORK, June 8. The Government
crop report was a factor of primary Impor
tance in today's market operations. On pub
lication of the crop statements, rails, which
had been heavy, rose briskly and -carried
other standard shares to or near best prices
of the day. Industrials and equipments made
less upward progress than the specialties, in
which pools were again active.
United States Steel was offered at every
marked advance, fluctuating between 132
and 1314. closing virtually unchanged. Beth
lehem Steel and related stocks moved within
similar limits and motors and minor indus
trials took their cue from tne more active
issues.
Industrial Alcohol was again a note
worthy feature, rising after an early decline
of 8 points to 170. Total sales were 1.820,000
l shares.
Rubles were steadier. Remittances to
Madrid and Rome were quoted at rates more
favorable to those centers. Forecast of the
local money movement indicated another
cash loss for the week by the local banks,
resulting from additional payments to the
Federal reserve bank.
The bond market was Irregular and de
void of feature. Total sales, par value.
$2,035,000. United States bonds were from
4 to 1 per cent lower on call. Registered 4s

Strength at Close Also Partly Due
to Bulge In Corn Market.
Export Demand for
Coarse Grains.
CHICAGO, June 8. Although ultra-bearish
forecasts of the Government crop report
caused the wheat market to average lower
today, prices rallied in the last half hour to
an extent which perhaps discounted the fact
that the official estimate of the Winter crop
proved to be too pessimistic as Judged by
a majority of traders. The market closed
unsettled at the same as yesterday's finish
to 10 advance, with July at $2.24 and Sep
tember at $1.95. Corn gained 3c to 8c
net and oats o to He. Provisions wound
up unchanged to 20 cents higher.
Until the last half hour of the session, the
wheat market had a decided downward
slant, owing largely to predictions that the
Government estimate of yield for this sea
son would total as much as 50,000,000 bush
els more than was harvested in 1916, whereas
the actual figures received from Washing
ton after the close put the probable gain
over last year at only 18,000.000 bushels.
Late strength In the wheat market came
about chiefly as a result of a notable bulge
In com.
Export demand made the corn market
soar.f Besides, domestlo country offerings
were' light and it wss said no accumulation
was likely at any of the leading terminal
points for at least a week yet, while farmers
were trying to counterbalance time lost by
recent heavy rains.
Buying for seaboard acoount rallied the
oats market from depression, which was as
soclsted in a measure with assumptions that
the crop report would prove much more
bearish than turned out to be the case. Even
the most conservative guesses were 19,000.000
bushels above the Government estimate.
Provisions finished firm In sympathy with
corn. Earlier the provision market was easy
owing to weakness of quotations on hogs.

Government Will Disturb Legitimate Activ
ities as Little as Possible.
In response. to an inquiry, the Secretary
of Agriculture has made the following reply:
"There Is no desire on the part of any
.branch of the Government to do anything
else than to promote the best Interests of
all the people of the Nation In the present
emergency. The desire is to disturb help-
xui, legitimate, inaustnai activities just as
little as possible. The Congress has been
asked to vest In the President certain
emergency powers, to be In existence only
during the course of the war. It seems es
sential to the National safety that these
powers be given to the President. It Is not
lmprobablo that some of them will not have
to be exercised, but the Government ought
not to be without the requisite authority.
The Government realizes the constructive
and patriotic service which can be rendered
by the produce trade and will endeavor to
assist, as far as possible. members of the
trade who wish to do their share."

the refiners at New York yesterday lowered
their lists 60 points. Trade advices from

"The domestic trade Is quiet, being chiefly
Interested In getting sugars already or
dered, refiners continuing two to three
weeks behind as a rule, though rapidly
catching up. Owing to the smaller con

Trade Booming.
NEW YORK. June 8. Tomorrow Brad
street's will say:
Reports of slow, backward retail trade,
which has been only slightly improved by
warmer weather, throw into bold relief by
contrast the unparalleled activity In the
leading Industrial lines, iron, steel, ship
building, coal mining, textiles and lumber.
which Industries move along to the tune of
advancing prices, while at the same time
Government buying tends to divert interest
rrom regular trade cnanneis. in a word,
demand In Industrial lines, greatly accentu
ated by the needs of war, la insatiable, and.
while every ounce of energy Is being used
to keep up with requirements, supplies of
labor or of transportation facilltls are whol
ly inadequate
In an industrial asnse the country li
oversold. But regular distributive trade
waits, partly because a spirit of economy
Is abroad In the land and also because the
price barometer Is too high to encourage
iiDerai ouying.
Weekly bank clearings were $6,081,422,000,
a gain of 16 per cent over last week.

MOSIEB, Or., June 8. (Special.)
Fred Chan, a Chinaman In the employ
of Mark A. Mayer at Mayerdale or
chards, has subscribed, through the
Mosier Valley Bank, for $1000 worth
of liberty loan bonds.
Chan is popular in this district, and.
although of a quiet demeanor. Is in
telligent and keeps well posted on over
rent events. He points with pride to
the fact that China, the home of his
birth, leans strongly in sentiment to
the allies as a whole and the United
States in particular.
I landed In the United States with
35 cents," said Chan, "and since my
arrival, by frugality and hard work. I
have been able to support my family
in China and save a few dollars be
sides. I appreciate the protection and
the opportunity given me by the United
States to earn a livelihood and in re
turn I willingly lend to it every dollar
I possess."
Chan figures the purchase of war
bonds an excellent Investment No tax
and "Maybe by and by pay 44 per
cent."
If the war Is soon over." he says.
the liberty loan bonds are sure to
sell at a premium. Three per oent
United States bonds have only recently
been selling at above par, then why
ill not the present Issue In the very
near future sell at $110 for every $100
InvestedT . ..
Full of patriotism and loyalty to
the United States, and although past
the age of enlistment, Chan would will
ingly do his mite in the cause of "per
petuating peace on earth."

as it was some time ago, said Hnry
M. White, United States Labor Com
missioner, of Seattle, here yesterday.
but we are organizing our forces in
preparation for the expected shortage.
I firmly believe there will be one;
everything points to that being the
proper conclusion."
He arranged for Assistant Employ
ment Agent Callahan to make a trip
through Walla Walla, Columbia. Frank
lin and Garfield counties in Washington
and portions of Umatilla County, Ore
gon, to get first-hand information as
to the needs the of wheatgrowers
