TIIE MORNING GREG ONIAN, WEDNESDAY, XTJL.Y 23, 1917. 11 WHEAT TRADE WAITS liO Business in New Crop Likely Till Congress Acts. SOME INTEREST IN BARLEY Dealers Quote $4 0 at Country l'ointg as Value of 1917 Grain, but Farmers Are Xot Mak ing Any Offers. There Is some Interest In new-crop barley, vulch Is slowly making its appearance ia the country warehouses, and In view of the scarcity of old-crop, a fair trade could be -worked up if growers would offer. Few efforts to sell have- been made, however. The trade here considers new barley to be worth about $40 at country points if avail able for prompt shipment. No business is being attempted In the wheat market and no operations in the. new crop are likely to be seen until the trade Vnosi exactly what Congress is coins; to do In the matter of price fixing- and dis tribution. liroomhall's Liverpool cable said: "Wheat, steady, with improved local de mand, and holders reserved. Corn, strong;, with light export offers and scarcity of sup plies. Oats, dull, arrivals liberal. Flour, steady, with Improved demand. "Kussla Weather generally warm. Spring; lowing delayed.

In the Boston market, wools of fine and fine medium grade have become more act ive and prices are holding at a high level. according to the Commercial Bulletin, which ays: "The market has improved decidedly over the h'tharglc condition prevalent last week. Scoured wools are still slow but greasy v oos, especially of good staple and half- blood and above In grade, are moving rather freely, while medium and low crossbred have not been altogether inactive. The big drive, however. Is on grades of the fine and fino medium order. A number of houses have participated in this business and one house is reported to have sold at least 2,u00,- 00 pounds in territories of this type. "Scoured wools are still slow and medium wools in the grease are not any too active. Nevertheless, there is less pessimism about tho outlook even for these wools today than there was a few days back. 1'rlces that Is actual selling prices for the fine and fine medium classes have been no h igher at any time this year than they have been during the current week, but one can hardly say as much for low scoured wools, "Considerable speculation is in the alreon cerning the ultimate destination of these wools, some persons Xeellng that a large pro portion of them are to go into Government cloths, but it seems more likely that the greater part of them will be used in civilian goods. "There are those who look forward to fur ther large Government . orders in the near future for Army purposes, but the evidences of such business are not readily apparent on the surface and it 1s well understood that the first rush of the Government for roili - tary goods is practically over at the mo ment CKOCKRS' Fit V IT PURCHASES LIGHT Turlock Cantaloupre Not Taken OTer By Jobbers. Fruit prices were generally firm yester day, hr stocks were not large. Trading was restricted, however, owing to the grocers' picnic today. Two cara of Turloclt cantaloupes were re ceived, but are still in the hands of brokers, as Jobbers declined to pay the high price asked. There Is still a moderate supply of Imperial Valley cantaloupes on hand and a few more cars are coming. Melons continue to sell well. Apricots were- plentiful and ranged In price from f 1.23 to $1.60. Berries were scarce and firm. It was thought the cur rant season was over, but additional ship ments L-ave come forward. Trade in Moliair Drag. Mohair is still quiet at Boston and prices are hardly more than Viomlnal, although there does not seem to be any marked pres sure to sell, sayp the Commercial Bulletin. In the West tho situation is still draggy end growers who have not disposed of their holdings are playing a waiting game In the holies of securing considerable advances over tho latest quotations by the buyers. The situation in England is governed by the war's demand for wool, so that all spinners are practically obliged to spin wool rather than mohair yarns. At the Cape 43 cents lias be-n paid more or less steadily In the past two or three weeks for good firsts, cnostly on American account." Advance in Fggs Checked. The advance in eggs appears to have been checked, as receipts are still of fair size and buyers are holding back. Prices yesterday wore not changed. Itutter was firm, with a few sales of extras reported at 40 cents. lressed meats and poultry were reported Steady. Receipts of the latter are increasing. Susar Slay Advance Today. An advance of 23 cents in the sugar mar ket this morning is probable. One of the California refineries wired an advance of this amount yesterday noon, but the other refiner failed to come through, bo jobbers continued to bill sugar at the old price. A uniform refiners' Quotation Is looked for today. Rank Clearings. Tlank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as loiiows: Men rings. Balances.

UNDERTONE IS DEPRESSED Fluctuations In Industrials Result in Net Iiosses Money Market Not Affected by Submission of Government Budget. KEW TORJC. July 24. Stock, resume their downward course today on almost the smallest turnover of any full session thus far this Summer. Total dealings barely amounted to 630.000 shares, stee.s. equip ments and shippings contributing fully two thirds of the whole. Itails were moved to higher levels for a time on the Interstate Commerce Commis sion decision, which favored the Western and Pacific Coast carriers, but soon fell back with the general list. OhanRes elsewhere scarcely warrant de tailed comment, steels and the several war groups repeating their familiar movements of alternate advances and declines. United States Steel fluctuated between l'21 and 1-0, clii.ine at lOVs, a net Iosb of Us points. Various pther industrials and spe cialties forfeited extreme gains of 1 to .1 points, the market ending with a heavy undertone. The 5,00O.000,0OO budget submitted to Congress -by the Secretary of the Treasury invited earnest discuaaiun in banking circles, but was without effect upon local money conditions. Call loans were mads at per cent down to 1, per cent, but no concessions were reported in t!m accommodations. Preparations were under way for next week's payment of another large liberty loan pay ment.

Crop conditions between Kenneairk and Klh-niibur are reported to W. '. Wilkes, as sistant ifeiveral tretKht and passenger agent of the Spokane.'Portlantl & Seattle Kallway, by C. M. Alortenon, of Spokane, as follows: "While I understand that the evuefslve heat last week has done considerable lam Re in the grain territory, Uhe hot wave has been considered as being- very favorable In the Yakima Valley. Of course, you un derstand that practically the whole valley is under Irrigation and drouths do t:ot af fect It, The corn, beans, alfalfa and sugar beets are looking fine, and the prospects for a bumper crop of these commodities are anticipated. The hot weat her Is jut what they want for the ripening of soft fruit and apples, and the veteran fruit raisers say that the crops in the valley never looked fo promising as they dp at the present time. This applies in the territory between Ken newick and ICllensburg. There are rumors that cut worms have done considerable dam age to potatoes, but do not believe that much concern should be entertained as to damage from this source." . From agent, Wilkesboro, July 23 : Wea ther past two days slightly cooler than has been for two weeks past. Crop situation about the same as per my report of the 15th.

CONGRESS' DELAY FACTOR Deliveries on July Contracts Ex pected Before End of Present Week Corn Affected by Im proved Prospects for Crop. CHICAGO, July 24. Brightening- crop re ports from the big corn-producing st.'ttes. such as Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska, gifcve decisive downward swing today to the corn market here. Prices finished ,asy. V4W2Vic lower, with September at $1-63 Si and December at $1.14 H 1.14. Wheat de clined 5c to 64o and closed steady at ;2.54 for July and $2.25 for September. Oats lost 4 fif ic to 2ic and provisions 25o to ;tfl c Expected enlargements of receipt, of wheat here did a good deal to send v ilues for that cereal downgrade. It was j jsslp that there would be a considerable amount of wheat delivered In Chicago on July "con tracts before tha end of the present v.eek. In addition, difficulties hindering the p. 11 sage of the food law seemed to act as a -freight on the market. Oats broke sharply under selling f om a big house which had recently been a conspic uous purchaser. Rapid spread of the ),trvest was reported and generally good yields where threshing had -begun. Weakness of grain and of cottonseed oil pulled down provisions. Advanaes tn the hog market seemed to he wholly ignored, as well as an Increased Southern demand for ribs. Leading futures ranged as fallows. WHEAT. Open. High, July ......$2.59 $2.59 Sept. 2.31 14 2.33 CORN. Sept. ......
