Newspaper Page TextTHE MORXING OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1917. ID BAIN TRADE WAITS Uncertainty as to Food Control Unsettles Markets. DEMAND FOR WHEAT SMALL Only Selling Is by Dealers Who Arc Trying to Clean Up Stocks Be fore Xew Season Opens. - Farmers Xot Offering. An occasional sale of a. car of wheat is reported on the basis of about 92.40 for blue stem, but In general the market Is exceed ingly quiet. The only sellers are dealers who are anxious to clean up odd lots before the new season opens. Farmers are still holding; small amounts, but are not Inter ested at current prices. Mills here and on the Bound are taking a little wheat and a few shipments are being made to the South. The oats market Is ruling steady, but is by no means active. Barley Is also steady, although there was a decline at Ban Fran cisco yesterday. The, California barley crop Is estimated by most Southern dealers at 800,000 tons and a few put It as high as 1,000,000 tons. The barley markets through out the country are more or less unsettled these days by the prospect of Government prohibition, though it Is figured there may be an enlarged use of barley for flour mak ing. All the grain markets ere feeling the effect of the uncertainty due to Congress ac tion on the food question. The Liverr.ol grain cable said: Cash wheat dull and easy, arrivals liberal, export offers free. Corn firm, good general de mand, liberal continental absorption. Oats dull and steady, arrivals liberal, but spot demand better. 1 Flour easier with more lib eral local mill offers and free arrivals of foreign wheat." Chicago sent the following report on weather conditions: "Minneapolis clear, no rain; Winnipeg clear, showers predicted; Central Illinois clear and warm; Missouri cloudy and sultry; Kansas clear to partly cloudy; Nebraska cloudy and cooler; Daven port partly cloudy and warm ; Ohio Valley clear and fine. Corn weather map looks more or less favorable for the crop, but nearly all reports Indicate a very backward season. Commenting on the future of the wheat market, a New York broker writes: "Under Influence of restrictions Imposed upon the trade by the rulings of the various ex changes, and the uncertainties as to what legislation may be passed by the Federal Government, the market has been very un certain, but with a rather bearish tendency, as the crop development was progressing satisfactorily. Harvesting Is being done un der ideal conditions; and, now that hedge selling la beginning, the trade Is demanding a broader market, allowing of both pur chases and sales say up to the maximums fixed by the Chicago Board. The bare sug gestion that this may be granted was suffi cient to cause a good advance In the July position, this morning. Accepting the most liberal estimate of yield for North Amer ica, it would not appear a if any great pressure against values could arise at pres ent levels, as Europe will depend much upon North America for her Immediate re quirements; and, with existing conditions, present prices do not appear out of the way, as the crop Is by no means made as yet." Terminal receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat. Bar. Fir. Oats. Hay.

The following special crop reports were Issued yesterday by W. C. Wilkes, assistant general freight and passenger agent of the Spokane, Portland A Seattle Railway: From Waldo CJ. Paine, general freight and passenger agent, Spokane, Portland & Seat tle Railway. Spokane: 1 - "Big Bend crop conditions Improving steadily. Weather Is warm enough for growth. No hot winds so far. Will need a, rain shortly and If forthcoming. Spring grain will yield LT. to 30 bushels. Account late seeding fields free of weeds. Good In crease In fcprtng average. Hay and grass erp above par. Kveryone optimistic." From agent Spokane, Portland at Seattle Railway, Vancouver, Wash.: "Prune crop docs not look promising. Growers say about ono-half quantity picked last .year. Late rains and unfavorable wa ther conditions probably account for brown rot, which has shown up badly In ma jority of orchards. No Increase in acreage bearing and few contracts made. Poor crop of cherries, and ct raw berry crop also short this season. More acreage has been planted to potatoes and vegetables than ever before. Although planted late, are looking good and some still planting." CONSERVATION OF POTATO CROP Government Decides to More Its Drying Plant to Wisconsin. In Ita weekly summary of crop conditions, the American Steel & Wlro Company says: "The happening of paramount Importance this week was the decision of the United States Department of Agriculture to move Its potato-drying equipment, now locatt-d at the Arlington Farm, to a location in the potato belt of the West. The city of Rhine lander, Wisconsin, has made the Government a proposition- to locate the plant there, and the necBsary money to make this possible Is availably. , This shoujd pave the way or the erection of many plants, located in differ ent parts of the, country, and make sure the conservation of the potato crop. "More seasonable weather is -xeported and optimism over crop .conditions prevails. There can be little doubt about "Winter killed" wheat fields having been plowed up too toon. The condition of the oat crop Is al most perfect. In the semi-arid country of the Southwest, the kaflrs-kafls, mllo and feterita, are proving their great value, and this, alongside of suffering wheat and corn crops. Corn continues backward in Its de velopment, and la suffering from too much moisture and the presence of weeds. Too cold for cotton. Grass lands are not In prime condition." SHIPPING ORDER! FOR I.IYE POTXTRT :gg And Butter Steady, With Supply and Demand Equal There was a fair shipping demand for poultry, but local trade was quiet. Large hens sold at 10 cents and small hens were quoted at 14 cents.' Veal receipts were large and the market was easier at J.4li cents, the top. Eggs hold steady at S0tT31 cents, case count. Dealers do not believe that prices will show much variation for some time, ns supply and demand are running about even. The butter market Is also on, a steady bass. CAMALOtPES ARE 50 CENTS LOWER ' Local Sales Increaa-e as Prices Become More Reasonable. Cantaloupes were 50 cents lower yester day at ?3u"3 for standards nnd $3.23 for ponies. Local demand is Increasing as prices become more reasonable and consum ers learn th-tt the quality Is good. The supply of strawberries was about equal to the demand and prlcea ruled steady. On the early farmers' market sales were made at $L151.35. and good ship ping stock wu quoted on the street at $1.50. Another car of Texas tomatoes arrived during the -flay. New California potatoes were steady at 4?fc5 cents. There was a moderate movement in old Ore eons at $3.75. Gree-i vegetables were unchanged. Bank Clearings.

CROP NEWS IS ALSO FACTOR Equipments, Marines, Motors and Utilities At Lower Liberty Loan Holds Firm at Par and OtJher Bonds Are Weak. NEW YORK, June 26. Prominence of railway shares at materia1 higher levels was the most significant feature of today's trading. The Inquiry for rails was attended by reports that the Interstate Commerce Commission woula approve in large measure the request for higher rates. New rates become operative next Sunday, unless oth erwise ordered. Minor or reorganised rails figured to an unwonted extent In the rise, especially the Western and Southwestern divisions. In sev eral Instances, notably St, Paul, which reg istered a gross advance of two points, im provement was ascribed to highly favorable crop conditions. . United States Steel and related industrials denoted further pressure. Motors yielded one to more than five points, and coppers, shippings and oils were restrained by ad verse Washington advices. Central Leather reacted three points, to 95, after announcement of the- extra 2 per cent dividend, the rate falling under gen eral expectations. Ohio Gas was the weak est stock In the list, dropping almost seven points. Total sales were 810,000 shares. Financial conditions bearing upon the se curities market were fairly evenly balanced, continuance of 6 per cent call money being neutralized by the arrival of almost $10, 000.000 additional British gold. The strength of lires and a slight setback In rubles were the only changes noted in the market .for foreign exchange. Bonds, as a rule, were slightly lower on nominal dealings. Liberty bonds held firm at par. Total sales, par value. $2,750,000. United States registered 3s declined . per cent; coupon and registered 3s of 1916 1 per cent and Panamas 2 per cent on call.
