Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY. AUGUST 14, 1917. 19 GRAIN BUYING ENDS Hoover Announcement Brings Wheat Business to Stop. ARRANGEMENT IS AWAITED Government Regulatory Plan May Not Be In Full Working Order tor Some Time Dealers Will Adjust Tnelr Affairs. There was not a single buyer !n the mar ket yesterday anywhere In the Northwest, o far aa the local trade was aware. The Hoover announcement put an end to what little business had been drifting along- Deal era believe It may be several weeks before the new Government . arrangement Is In working order, and until that time there cannot be much activity. There are some millers wants, however, that will have to be supplied In the meantime. Moat of the traders take the new order of things philosophically. While there will be no speculation. It Is likely the business will be handled through the same channela as heretofore, but on a narrow margin, and It is also probable a Federal supervisor will be stationed here to whom all deals will have to be referred. In the other cereal lines the market was firm and quiet. A meeting of the Merchants Exchange Association, called to pass on the matter of wheat grade discounts, was postponed until Wednesday noon. The Liverpool grain cable said: "Wheat, easy, influenced by America and continued liberal world's shipments. Corn steady, but less firm, lncreasod consumption expected, floating quantity increased with local mill offers good. Oats, dull and easier with continued American shipments; con sumption lighter." Weather conditions in the Middle West, as wired from Chicago Monday: "Minneapolis, partly cloudy. Winnipeg, no rain. Chicago, clear, fine and warm. Peoria, cloudy and cooL St. Louis, Kansas City. St. Joseph, clear. Omaha. Nebraska City clear and cool. Davenport, cloudy, some rain . last night. Wichita, drizzling, cool. Topeka, partly cloudy. Hutchison, cloudy, threaten ing.

WILD BERRIES SOURCE OF PROFIT Eugene Association Prepared to Handle Five Hundred Tons. EUGENE. Aug. 13. (Special.) The Ever green blackberry, a wild berry of prolific growth, regarded as a pest In former years, bids fair to become a source of great revenue to the farmers of the Willamette Valley, according to J. O. Holt, manager of the Eugene Fruitgrowers' Association. The Evergreen berry requires no care or atten tion. Its yield is much heavier than other varieties of berries and the period of pro duction covers many weeks. It la extremely hardy and has been unaffected by the long period of drouth this Summer. The associa tion Is prepared to handle 600 tons of these . berries this year and will pay $60 a ton. The cherry cannery pack this season was 890 tons as compared to 265 tons last year. Manager Holt states that the string bean crop has been much better than expected In vlw of the extremely dry season. A total of 17u0 cases has already been put up as compared with 700 cases last year. The run on beans Is only fairly well under way. Harrisburg Hop Crop Small. HAHRISBOT.O, Or, Aug. 13. (Special.)

Much of the strength manifested by today's stock mar ket was attributed to the scarcity of offer ings, an indication of the more precarious position of the short interest. Rails were more conspicuous than usual, high-grade shares gaining 1 to 2 points on further encouraging crop advices. The "extra" 10 per cent dividend on Chicago, Burlingon & Qulncy, also was a sentimental factor. Great Northern preferred and North ern Pacific, which Jointly control Burling ton, being unusually active at gains of 2 points each. Steel and related equipments were 1 to 3 points higher. United States Steel gained IV4 at 124Ti. Shippings, leathers, sugars and oils derived support from favorable trade conditions and motors rallied 1 to & points. Tobaccos supplemented their steady dvances of tne past fortnlgnt. Total sales amounted to 865,000 shares.

Heavy EARLY MARKET IS STEADY Corn Qnotatlons Steady, When De cline Brings Valnes Down to Feeding Lievel Export Sales at Seaboard Rally Oats. CHICAGO, Aug. 13. Notwithstanding that at first the wheat market today seemed to be virtually unaffected by announcement of comprehensive plans of Government con trol to be put In operation September 1, prices finally gave way. The outcome was a heavy close at 11c bushel net decline, with September down to $2.04. Corn finished c off to iic up. at $1.144 Ql.14 for De cember and jl.l2'i 1.12?a for May: oats closed at c decline to HHo advance. Last prices of provisions ranged from 5c loss to a rise of 27c Downward swings of values In the wheat market attained unusual force, but not un til the dav was more than half over. Corn had a general downward tendency today, but steadied when signs were given attention that hogs and corn had about coma together again In value, and that corn was near a feeding level. This point. however, was not reached until cash prices had in some cases fallen 20c a bushel since Saturday, making about 60c decline since the abnormal demand from distilleries was at the apex last week. Export sales at the seaboard helped to rally the oats market from an early de cline, due to sympathy with the weakness of corn. Old oats have nowlost their pre mium over new, the latter being of excep tional quality on the whole. Hog prices, soaring higher than ever. lifted provisions.
