Prices Are 5 Cents Higher
Northwestern Markets.
in
BLUESTEM HELD AT $2.40
Club Is Quoted by Dealers TTp to
$2.37 Early Demand From
California Is Looked For.
Oats Are Steady.
The wheat market was a good 5 cents
III g her yesterday. There was not much de
mand locally, but there was a good inquiry
from millers on the Sound who are finding
it difficult to get enough supplies for their
current requirements. This difficulty will
become more acute as there Is hardly any
wheat left In the Northwest and the har
vest Is going to be late. The trade also ex
pects to hear . from California for both
wheat and flour. Bluestem was held at
$2.35 2.40 and club was quoted at $2.85
2.87.
Not only was the Chicago option market
strong and higher, but cash markets
throughout the East rose sharply. At Min
neapolis there was an advance of 16H cents
in cah wheat as compared with the pre
ceding day.
New crop business Is being done In the
East for delivery at Atlantic terminals at
a price equal to about $1.80 here.
The oats market was steady at $45 46,
with only a light demand.
The Liverpool grain cable said: "Wheat
dull and easier, but no pronounced pres
sure. Corn steady; cash demand good, with
spot offers light. Oats steadier; better spot
demand and lighter export clearances.
Flour dull and easier; prices slightly lower."
Minneapolis reported good rains In North
Dakota and Canada and still raining. This
Is where needed the most.
Forecast for other sections Grain belt Il
linois, Wisconsin, Minnesota. Iowa and North
Dakota, partly cloudy. Showers and warmer
In Nebraska, Missouri and South Dakota.
Kansas and Montana generally fair and not
much change In temperature.
A San Francisco barley dealer estimates
the California barley crop at 1,006,000 tons,
against an estimate three weeks ago of
139,000 tons. The quality of the new bar
ley arriving is, on the average, the finest
raised In California In years. Sacramento
Valley crops are turning out beyond expec
tations. If there 1b any falling off In esti
mates it will be In the Salinas VaJley.

MOKE AUSTRALIAN WOOL EXPECTED
First Release of Merinos Has No Effect on
Domestic Market.
The transportation problem will be an
important factor in the matter of getting
Australian wool Into this country to relieve
the domestla shortage. The Boston Com
mercial Bulletin says on the subject:
"The announcement of the United States
Department of Commerce the first of the
week to the effect that Great Britain had
decided to allow the United States to im
port 45,000 bales of merinos from Australia
was received with mixed emotions. As to Its
immediate effect upon the market, there
was none. In the first place, 4G.0G0 bales
means only 15,000,000 pounds, less than 3
per cent of the consumption In the United
States last year. Then, too, the details as
to shipment, sale and distribution are still,
at this writing, undetermined. Moreover, If
business could be done forthwith, there Is
always the problem of transportation, which
is not altogether an easy one.
"There is, however, a potential value In
this latest development, namely the pros
pects for further shipments later. As allies
In the war Great Britain can hardly afford
to refuse this court try reasonable supplies
of wool, especially In view of the patent
fact that such shipments can be made to
this country with greater expedition and
safety than to her own shores."
PRIMARY WOOL MARKETS ADVANCING
Ninety Per Centf Clothing; Machinery Is
' In Operation.
BOSTON, June 22. The Commercial Bul
letin will say tomorrow:
Wool markets in the East have been com
paratively quiet this week with a fair de
mand in spots. Values tended steadily
higher, although the actual advance has
not been very marked.
The situation in the West Is really keener
than at the seaboard markets, prices for
fine and medium wools having Bhown an
advance both in the bright wool and ter
ritory sections.
Manufacturers are. fairly well engaged on
old contracts. Reports to the National As
sociation of Woolen Manufacturers indicated
that about 90 per cent of machinery on
clothing Is in operation.

SMALL TRADE IN MOHAIR . EAST
Arizona Product Moving In Boston at Range
of 63 to 65 Cents.
Mohair moves very slowly In the Boston
market, according to the Commercial Bul
letin. Some Arizona hair Is reported sold
In ths range of 63 65 Cents, but It has
been In limited quantity, and there are those
who look for a recession In prices. Cape
stocks nave also been very quiet. In the
country, growers and dealers are still wide
apart and little or nothing is being done.
Yorkshire is spinning more mohair into
yarn and latterly the market there has been
more active at around 5556 cents for good
Cape firsts. - -
At the Cape both America and Yorkshire
continue to buy, firsts being taken at 43
cents.
Alpaca is In light supply In Liverpool and
has been less active there, except for In
ferior lots. '

PRfNE CONTRACTS AT EIGHT CENTS
Buyer - Paying This Price in Douglas
County for Orchard Ron.
ROSEBURG. Or.. June 2. (Special.)
Although It will be several months before
the crop will be ready to deliver prune buy
ers are now in the field here and are offer
ing as much as S cents a pound, orchard
run. A few contracts have been made, but
In most Instances the growers are holding
out for 9 cents.
It la predicted that the Douglas County
prune crop will be about 60 per cent as large
as last year. The light crop is probably due
to unfavorable weather conditions and the
MILLS
fact that there vai an abnormal yield last
season.
COOS CHEESE PRICES ARE . DOWN
Batter, Eggs and Poultry Are Steady, With
Good Demand.
The butter market was a little steadier
yesterday, probably "owing to the advance
at San Francisco. For extras 36 cents was

sociation has reduced its prices three-fourths
of a cent, quoting triplets at 23 cents and
young Americas and long horns at 24 cents,

Profit-Taking Xear Close Reduces

Kates Continue Firm Lib
erty Bonds Move at Far.
NEW TORK, June 22. Recoveries from
the general reaction of the early week
made further progress today, although
trading was of a tentative character and
more circumscribed as to the variety of is
sues dealt in. War shares were once more
the conspicuous features, but rails gave
promise of further improvement. Gross
gains of 1 to 5 points were considerably re
duced In the later profit taking.
The monetary situation continued a re
straining influence on call loans, which held
over the week end, being made for the most
part at or within a fraction of 6 per cent.
Forecasts of the week's money movements
favored a cash gain, although the banks of
the clearing-house have derived little di
rect benefit from the heavy gold Inflow by
way of Canada,
Movements in the foreign exchange mar
ket were somewhat conflicting, llres re
cording a further reaction and franca mak
ing up part of their recent heaviness.
United States Steel at one time showed
an extreme gain of 1H points, most of the
others of that division rising 1 to about 3,
but in almost every instance much of the
advantage was forfeited.
Metals and inactive specialties Improved
an average of a point or two with sugars.
Industrial Alcohol finished at a point gain
after having risen over three. Total sales
amounted to 635, 000 shares.
All classes of bonds were heavy. Important
railway issues yielding with international is
sues. Total sales, par value, $1,800,000.
Liberty 3s ruled at par, but United
States registered and coupon 3s of 1946, reg
istered and coupon 4s and Panama 3s were
1 to 3 per cent lower on call.

LEADING INDUSTRIES ARE BOOMING
Government Buying In Numerous Lines Is
Spreading.
NEW TORK. June 22. Tomorrow Brad-
street's will say :
Bustling activity characterizes the lead
inr industries, particularly Iron, steel, lum
ber, textiles, coal and shipbuilding, and at
the same time Governmental buying In nu
merous lines Is still spreading. Crop news
is better, higher temperatures have made
for improvement in retail iraae. rauroaa
cars are in relatively better supply, prices for
some food products tend downward, and
payments In the larger branches of enter
prise are good. Withal wholesale trade is
relatively slow, re-orders to jobbers are ex
ceptionally light, conservatism respecting
buving for future delivery Is in evidence,
luxuries and fancy articles are practically
neglected, a sign that economizing is widely
prevalent, and discussions regarding govern
mental control of prices make for some un
certainty, while the Imminent catling or men
for military duty certainly restricts buying
of seasonal apparel.
However, losses in what might be termed
ordinary lines, this characterization being
used in Its most comprehensive sense, are
largely. If not wholly offset by governmental
buying and thi diversity in the ebb and
flow of things obviously makes for the
working out of readjustments. But despite
the giving of ground in some lines, resulting
in the transfes. of Interest to other things,
the producing units of this country are
oversold and mostly fa anead at that.
Scarcity of labor is still marked and from
many centers also come reports about the
exceptional paucity of raw materials.
Weekly bank clearings were $6,621,639,000.

700 LOGGERS STRIKE
WORK IN IDAHO PANHANDLE IS
PRACTICALLY TIED UP.
Mills Xot Yet Affected by Walkout
Confined to Crevrs In Woods.
Camps May Not Reopen,
SPOKANE, Wash.. Juno 22. (Spe
cial.) Strike conditions in Northern
Idaho today have practically tied up all
logging In the Idaho Panhandle. Tim
ber operators, large and small, have
been swept into the tie-up and strike
conditions prevail from the St. Joe
country to Priest Lake. As yet none
of the mills have been affected, the
strike being confined entirely to crews
in the woods.
Local lumbermen admit that between
600 and 700 strikers are out, while- the
I. W. W. headquarters places the num
ber of striking woodsmen at 1700.
J. C. H. Reynolds, secretary of the
Loggers Club, declared today that the
situation was grave as far as the work
in 'the woods was concerned, and that
in some instances the logging camps
were entirely closed and it might be
necessary -to shut down permanently
for the balance of the season.
Forest Grove Farmers Busy.
FOREST GROVE, Or.. June 22.
(Special.) The prune crop in the vi
cinity of. Forest Grove gives promise
of a good yield. Cherries and pears
will not give the average crop. Farm
ers are now very busy taking care of
the clover hay, crop, which is very
heavy. The dry, hot weather has been
excellent for the curing of hay, and
every available man has been pressed
into service.
KANSAS CROP SHORT
Bullish State Report Sends Up
Chicago Market.
NET GAIN UP TO 7 CENTS
Assistance From Japan in Increas
ing Cargo Fleet From America Is
Also Strengthening Influence.
Corn Is Taken for Export.
CHICAGO, June 22. Bullish constructions
put on the Kansas crop report helped to
strengthen wheat prices today, and so, too.
aid reports that arrangements had been
completed to Increase commercial vessel ton
nage available for shipments to Europe.
The market closed strong 5 Ho to 7c net
higher, with July at $2.10 and September
at SI. 84. Other commodities, too, scored
gains, corn 2c to 4Hc. oats &o to ISc
and provisions 5c to 60c
Assistance from Japan was mentioned as
one of the main sources of the expansion
of vessel tonnage which was looked for.
The chief bullish aspect of the Kansas crop
report was the fact that notwithstanding
an estimated production of 2.00O.0O0 more
than the May forecast, the 1917 crop of the
state would be still 58 per cent below the
output last year and would stand as ths
smallest since 1896.
Persistent buying of corn for export at
relatively high premiums gave a big lift to
the corn market as a whole.
Oats hardened with corn. Buying on the
part of houses with seaboard connections
more than oft set favorable crop reports.
Pork rose to the highest price on record,
$40.10 a barrel. September delivery. There
was a liberal shipping demand for pork and
also for ribs. Interpretations of Belgian
relief orders had some further strengthening
effects. Lard, however, was relatively neg
lected.

APPLEG0N01TI0NS GOOD
CROP PROSPECTS FIXE IX NE.UILY
ALL SECTIOXS.
Indications Are for One of Xarffest
Yields on Record. Despite RIa;
Outturn Last Year.
A special bulletin issued by the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States, from Its
Washington headquarters, under recent date,
gives a survey of fruits In the United States
as observed this early In the season. Under
the head of apples the bulletin says:
"The condition of apples, the most im
portant of all fruits, is generally good every
where throughout the country. The usual
and Inevitable local exceptions to this state
ment are not of sufficient Importance to af
fect Its substantial accuracy. It has alwayir
been an axiom of horticulture that apples do
not bear heavily two years In succession, be
cause the trees do not produce the needed
buds to the lama extent for two successive
seasons, possibly because they share the
human trait of arrowing weary in well-doing;.
Be that as It may. It seems now as If this
belief has shared the fate of many another
sacred Inheritance and has been consigned
to the scrap heap of discarded traditions.
"Apparently, this trait In budding Is large
ly confined to the more elementary varieties
and not to those produced by man's experi
mentation and selection. With the Increas
ing proportion of these selected types, and
the growing employment of Intelligent culti
vation, the yield of apples, year by year, al
ways barring unfavorable weather, seems
more assured and dependable than ever be
fore. If the present growing crop gets
through the next six weeks successfully,
without the disastrous June drop which
blighted last year's brilliant promise of both
apples and cherries, there seems ahead of
us one or the largest yields on record.."
According to figures contained In the
bulletin, the value of the apple crop of the
United States In 1915 was $158,712,000, and
in 1013 $185,583,000. The production In bar
rels for the past eight- years has been as

FARMERS' LOSS IS HEAVY
Second Yearly Flood So Late Re
planting 'Will Be Impossible.
KELSO. Wash- June 22. (Special.)
The steadily encroaching water of
the Columbia, which reached Its
highest stage of the year yesterday
has brought thousaands of dollars in
loss to the bottom land farmers in the
vicinity of Kelso. Meadows and
cropped land, which had not been
flooded previously this year, have been
inundated during: the past 48 hours to
the extent of hundreds of acres. The
crest of the freshet, as was the case
last year, is coming; so late that re
planting of crops will be almost impos
sible, and for the second year the low
land farmers will suffer almost com
plete loss of ther crops.
This is the first time since the set
tlement of the country that two such
high, floods have occurred in successive
years.

Though the auto truck In which they
were was entirely demolished when
struck by a train yesterday afternoon,
C. R. Widtner and his son. Elmer Wid-
mer. residing: near Albany, escaped

of the Albany-Yaquina branch of the
Southern Pacific, six miles southwest of
Albany. Young "W'ldmer was driver.
C. R. Widmer suffered a broken shoul-
derblade, and water from the radiator
