WHEAT MOT WANTED
Demand for Old Crop Is at
v Standstill.
VALUES ARE SHRINKING
VIccs Are Being Adjusted to New
tip Basis Millers Out of
Market and South Is
Not Interested.
4be absolute lack of Interest in wheat
was shown u the Merchants' Exchange
yesterday, when the best bid posted tot
bluestem was $2 05. as against $2.35 on the
preceding" day. For other kinds of wheat
t" was offered. Actual wheat. If required,
would have cost about as much as the day
before, but demand was entirely at a stand
still. High water has cut down flour mill
operations here. San Francisco buyers will
not consider wheat at any price, and there
is no possibility of doing business with the
East except at very low figures. Local
dealjra yesterday were offered bluestem at
Chioago at $2.25. which is still lower than
the new Quotation ruling here. The market
Is In the process of adjusting itself to the
new crop basis, which is indicated by the
July option at Chicago, which has fallen
close to the $2 level.
Oats bids were raised $1.50 at the Ex
rhange to $45.50 and barley was firmer at
142.50.
The T.lverpool grain cable said: "Wheat
dull and easy, influenced by free Ameri
can clearances. Corn firm, arrivals mod
erate. Argentina advices unfavorable. Spot
demand good. Oats easy, spot demand quiet.
Flour easy, increased mill offers. Continen
. tal demand good."
Torinlnal receipts in cars were reported by
the Merchants Exchange as follows:

WOOD SPECCXATION' QUIET IX EAST
Belease of British Frodnet no Factor In
Market at Boston.
Smaller sales in the aggregate marlc the
trading lnwool at Boston, according to latest
advices. The diminution, however, is
thought to denote a decrease in specula
tion among dealers rather than a slack
ening of activity on the part of manufac
tures. The feature of the week has been
The announcement that 45,000 bales of
Australian wool would be allowed to come,
although the Influence of this item upon
the market is practically nil. A gradual
broadening of the demand for territory
wools Is noted, as well aa continued heavy
operations in South American grades of
staple. The market for wool la very strong
both in the East and in the primary mar
kets, the period showing further advances
at primary and secondary selling points.
Concerning the release of Australian wool,
a trade authority at Boston says:
Even a small supply of Australian wool
would be a welcome addition to the stock
of some manufacturers. JJo doubt of the
statement that any supply would be in
keen demand may be had when it is seen
how some small parcels returned to the
market by mills are gobbled by manufac
turer who are making goods which in
volve them. Some rather poor Sydney wools
have fetched well above 80 cents lately, ac
cording to dealers. This grease price makes
the wools cost about $1.80 per scoured
pound, it is estimated. A few thousand
pounds at the most were comprised in the
sales, but the buyers showed eagerness for
the little. Other business In foreign wools,
aside from South American grades. Includes
fair sales of short clothing Capes, scoured
here, at $1.50 and some greasy combing
Cape at an estimated clean cost of $1.80 to
' 11.70."

ditions in Oregon for the week ending June

dents throughout the state:

with frosts in southern and eastern coun

being felt In Southern and Eastern Oregon.

generally in good condition, but would be
benefited by moisture in eastern counties.
A good growth of corn is reported, while
beans, hops and sugar beets are fair to
good; pastures and meadows are also fair
and need rain. The weather was ideal
for haying and a large crop of alfalfa was

NEW TORK. Juno 20. Withdrawal of
public participation, an- advance in call
money to CVs per cent, the high rate of the
yar, fresh complications in the foreign sit
uation and unfavorable weather over East
ern and Southwestern agricultural centers
accounted in varying degrees for today'a fur
ther impairment of quoted values.

loans and one-day discounts by the local
Federal Reserve Bank, which were ratsed
from 2 to 3 per cent. Reports of the Gov
ernment's Intention to take over the opera
tion of the country's leading industries met
with prompt denial from Washington.

to 4 points from lowest level, while Crucible
Steel, Distillers' Securities, Corn Products
and a few other issues, which owe their
prominence to pool activity, made actual
gains of 1 to 3 points.

COR!! IS UNLOADED
Holders Alarmed by Talk of
Probable Embargo.
WHEAT ALSO EASES -OFF
New Crop Offers Increase Rapidly,
but Buyers Are Scarce Except at
low Prices Rains in
Spring Grain Region.
CHICAGO. June 30. Reports that Prea
Idsnt Wilson was likely seen to exercise his
power to place an esabarso on arain ship
ments that tnlabt reach Germany throuyh
neutral countries led to' heavy liquidating
sales today, especially tn corn. Prices for
that cereal closed nervous, 1 to 4 cents
net lower. Wheat also declined, finishing
1 to 4 cents down, with July at $2.01 and
September at 1.80. Oats lost Uo to
Ific Provisions fsjnsd 3H to 15 cents.
Gsneral unloading by holders of earn ac
companied the talk eC a probable, suddsn
nforcement of embanro reg-ulatlons. It was
said thst recent unusually larere purchases
of com for European neutrals had aroused
suspicion and that the new authority of the
President could provide an effective bar to
any of the proposed shipments falling- into
hands that were hostile to the United States.
Rain that broke a serious drought in Xorth
Texas and In Oklahoma counted to some
extent in further weakening the market.
Hedging sales from the Southwest bad a
depressing effect on wheat. New crop of
fers Increased rapidly, but buyers were
scarce except at relatively low figures. Crop
prospects continued to Improve. Kalns in
the Spring wheat region were deemed of
particular advantage to the bear side of the
market.
Oats were chiefly governed by the same
Influences that ruled other grain, especially
com. Seaboard houses bought oats on the
decline.
Assertions that the Belgian Commission
was seeking offers helped to strengthen the
provision market. Upturns In the value of
hos were also of some assistance.
