In strong hands.
special meetlns of the Merchants Ex
change Association was held yesterday to

Klosterman, N. A. Leach. M. G. Russl and
C B. Buchanan. A committee was also
appointed to report on differentials between
the different grades of wheat for the coming
season.
The Liverpool wheat cable follows:
"Wheat steady, spot more firmly held, con
sumption fairly liberal. Corn firm, spot
atrong. actual export offers light. Oats dull,
arrivals liberal, consumption reduced, stocks
rood. Flour dull, but steady; mill offers
light. Worldjs shipments to United King
dom this week 2.455,000 bushels of wheat.
Corn shipments of goodly proportions. Ship
ments of oats to France and Italy show a
sharp decrease, but to United Kingdom
quantity shows Increase."
The United States visible wheat supply Is
6 840.000 bushels, a decrease of 2.731.000
bushels; the oats supply Is 8.266.000 bushels,
a decrease of 709.000 bushels: the corn sup

els; the oats supply Is 12.708.000 bushels, a

Foreign crop conditions, aa reported by
Broomhall from the latest Information at
hand:
Russia Weather Is generally warm. Re
cent weather has been cool and caused much
delay to Spring sowing, and also kept win
ter crops backward. Interior movement of
all grain Is light, as farmers are holding
firmly and stocks at all shipping ports are
negligible.
France Our Nantes correspondent says
that great Improvement Is noted In all crops
since early May. and predicts that the yield
per acre of wheat will exceed 25 bushels in
western districts. Total yield will bo short,
owing to great loss of acreage.
Italy Harvesting Is finished In parts and
progressing rapidly northward, with yield
fair and quality good. Crops three weeks
late. Supplies are very moderate and prices
remain high.
Spain Harvesting is nearly finished. Yield
" Is good, but under last year, and the quality
fair. Import needs will be Important.
Balkan 6tates Harvesting Is mostly fin
ished and In parts good yields are reported.
Germany and Austria are taking liberally of
wheat and oats.
Hungary All advices, from neutral sources
confirm a large yield.
Scandinavian Peninsula, Crop prospects
poor. Harvesting Is late,
aa weather mostly
remains cold and wet. Import neeas are
large and Immediate requirements urgent.
Stocks everywhere about exhausted.
United Kingdom Wheat crop progressing
favorably, but barley and oats need rain.
Harvesting has commenced in parts and new
wheat Is being rushed to market, with of
fers small at government prices.
Australia Agricultural outlook remains
fairly favorable, as recent rains were bene
ficlal. Stocks everywhere large.
India. Soil wet and favorable for plowing.
Reserves of recent crop still large. Native
food grains are in abundance.
Terminal receipts in cars were reported by

"Strong west wind, cloudy and cool, threat
ening good rain at 1 P. M. Grain In vicinity
of Lamont will go 15 to 30 bushels. Re
ceipts should be large as last year, accord
ing to local bankers. From McCall out to
ward Rltzville crops look good. Bongo will
have 60 per cent crop. Some fields cut for
hay. Wastucna and Hooper most substantial
grain section on our line; fields look best
of any. Inland Empire going to average
bushels. Conditions at Kahlotus same
above. Cool weather very beneficial."
From Mr. Paine, July 30: "Grain on Camas
Prairie and Nez Perce one month late,
Spring grain is heading eight Inches from
ground. Will fall If no rain soon. Condi
tions slightly better In western edge of Nez
Perce near breaks of river. Harvest Is on
in Asotin. Fall grain Is running 25 bushels.
Between Lewiston and Snake River along
breaks 'of river grain crop almost total
failure. Now cutting peas In Palouse coun
try; win just aDout return seed. Fifty per
cent of Fall grain is in shock, no threshing
as yet. Cool nights and moist winds have
helped situation wonderfully. No hot wind
In these districts."
From agent. Madras. July 27: "Yesterday
morning was cloudy, but no rain; cleared
In afternoon with strong south wind durln
night. This torenoon clear and warm
-weather gradually getting cooler. Withou

of
POOB BUTTER IS HARD TO SELL
Only Small Part of Receipts Grade aa Extras.
Eggs Are Steady.
The country produce markets opened
steady at last week s closing prices. Good
creamery butter was In demand, and extras
were quoted at 40 cents, but a large pro
portion of the cubes offering on the mar
ket were of poor quality and could with
difficulty be disposed of at concessions.

ply on hand was sufficient for local re
quirements. Dressed meat and poultry arrivals were
light, and prices were unchanged.
SHARP BREAK IX TALLOW PRICES
Market la Off Fonr Cents and Trade In
East la Demoralized.
Tallow prices, which have been abnormally
high, have suffered sharp declines In all
American markets. Local quotations are

listed at 11 cants. The Eastern markets
are almost demoralized, and the trade here
Is unable to sell to the big buyers.
Recent reports that the Government has
discovered other sources of glycerine than
tallow are held to account for the break In
the market.

The demand for new-crop Oregon hops
continues and there are few sellers. Con
tracts were recently made In thla state at
11 cents and more la offered now. In Wash
ington buyers have paid 12 and 12 H centa
for the coming crop. Spots are also firm

NEW TORE, July 80. Little relief from
the monotonous sessions of the preceding
week was furnished by today's stock market,
prices again manifesting an uncertain ten
dency on the narrowest dealings of recent
months.
Local monetary conditions were undis
turbed by the payment of a 20 per cent lib
erty loan installment, although the amount
payable from this center was roughly esti
mated at $23,000,000. Call loans were opened
with every Indication of a large demand.
Transfer of another considerable amount of
gold to the Paclflo Coast for shipment to
Japan elicited little Interest. More gold also
went to Spain.
United States Steel and other Industrials,
together with shippings, made up the greater
part of the day s 'business. bteel rose a
point to 123T at the opening, tell to 122
and rallied later, closing at 124Vi. a net gain
tween 99.33 and 99.47, dealings In bonds

SEPTEMBER WHEAT DROPS
July Delivery Holds Firm In Conse
quence of Covering by Belated
Sborts Settlement of Strike
Causes Reaction in Corn.
CHICAOO. July 80. Largely as a result of
the settlement of the switchmen's strike,
holders of corn showed a disposition today
to Indulge in general profit-taking sales.
Accordingly, the market had a downward
slant most of the time. Prices closed steady,
unchanged to He lower, with September
$l.3tr to $1.63 and December $1.18 to
$1.18. Wheat finished unsettled. 60 off to
7c up. at $2.62 for July, and $2.24 for Sep
tember. The outcome In oats ranged from
lc decline to o advance and In provisions
from a setback of 7c to a rise of 1012o.
Selling pressure acted as a weight on the
corn market throughout the day, except dur
ing a rather lively bulge at the outset. Un
favorable orop conditions In the Southwest
and West were chiefly responsible for the
initial strength. It waa not long, however.
before gains disappeared and a ssg began
which at no time subseouentlv was alto
gether overcome.
Welcome rains both sides of the Canadian
border, giving relief from hot winds which
had been threatening the Spring wheat cron.
turned prices down grade for the September
oonvery or wneat. July, though, proved
firm. Influenced by demand from a few
belated shorts.
Oats swayed In svrnnathv with mm
Threshing returns showed heaw vielda
Provisions averaged lower, chiefly In eon-

the Fraser River and local canners are
agreed that the "big run" has fairly
started.
On account of the failure of the run
in Northwestern Alaska and the late
ness of the Sound run, some of the
cannerymen last week entertained
fears that the Puget Sound pack might
fall below the estimate for the season.
A total of 150,000 fish were brought
to the cannery of the Pacific American
Fisheries last night and the traps of
other companies yielded catches In
equal ratio. The schools have not yet
reached Point Roberts, but are ex
pected to do so before tonight.
The "big" run occurs every four
years and canners now believe that this 1
season's yield will be an important
contribution to the Nation's food sup
ply. Six per cent of the pack will be
reserved for the Government.
