Bids HIGHER GRAIN SACKS LOOM Serious Shortage of Burlap Supply Already Exists in This Country. Adequate Stocks Held in Taciflc Xorthwcst. Local grain bar dealers have Been asked y the Government to submit bids on 10. OOO.OOO trench bags. As thero Is already a serious shortage of burlap in the United States, the placing of this bis Government order is likely to make a still higher mar ket. Furthermore, this is only the first or der tnd as the war continues is certain to be followed by others. Since the beginning of the conflict the British, government has made use of 000,000,000 trench bag's. Stocks of grain begs in the Korthwest are believed to be sufficient for this year's crop aeels. but no surplus is In sight. The local market is firm at l'i cents. The prospective requirements of the Gov ernment are a factor In the Kastern burlap markets. Trade reports Received yesterday from New Torlc say: "In anticipation of demand from Govern ment sources there was some renewed de mand for burlap yesterday, but the small domestic stocks are greatly restricting busi ness. Buyers are In the market for sup plies, especially the bag houses, but they re having practically no better lock than they have been having. Some business Is passing In lights and heavies, but consid erably more could be sold it it were avail able. 'Prices are ruling stronger In several quarters. It Is reported that If the inter est continues there is a strong chance quo tations will be revised i-pward soon. Cal cutta continues firm and neither the ship ping nor the currency situation Is changed In that quarter. Kxports are falling con siderably Bhort of those in the early months of the year. The British, govern ment continues to take supplies In the for eign market." EASTERN OATS COMING TO PORTLAND One Thousand Tons on Way to This City. California Barley Coming. The high prices on oats and barley, re cently prevailing here because of the acuta shortage of these cereals, could not be main tained, as supplies from the outside are be ing brought in. One thousand tons of East ern oats are en route to Portland and 400 or 50O tons of California barley are coming up. Eastern oats can be laid down here In bulk nt J44. and this has made for a re duction in local prices, bids at the Mer chants' Exchange yesterday being reduced f0 cents for spot and t a ton for later de livery. The weakening of the California barley market has had a similar effect on barley prices here. Xothlng is doing In the wheat trade be cause the Government fixed price may be announced any day. Blueetem was quoted nominal at $-.20. Wenther conditions In the Middle "West as wired from Chicago: "Minneapolis, clear" "Winnipeg, cloudy, light showers this morn ing. Chicago, Peoria, cloudy, cool. St- Louis, raining. Kansas City, clear. Topeka, cloudy. Hutchison. St. Joseph, clear. Omaha, Ne braska City, clear and cool. Wichita, Dav enport, clear. Ohio Valley, cloudy, cool, rain ut Tiffin. Kentucky, generally cloudy cool." The Liverpool grain cable said of the Ar gentina corn situation: "The Argentina corn market Is demoralized under heavy liquidating sales. Prices have declined So cents per bushel in three days, and the weakness is likely to continue unless diplo matic relations with Germany and Austria are severed." Tsrmlnal receipts In cars were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: .

Oats gained to cent. Cash wheat closed firm. Provisions mado gains of 22 to 75 cents. - Strength of cash corn contributed firm ness to futures and buyers of corn were further influenced by the weekly Government weather and crop report, which was mod erately bullish, containing the statement that large areas . would need favorable weather to mature the crops before damage is liable from frost.

WASCC, Moro and Grass Valley, the .hree principal cities of Sherman bounty, have, each granted franchises to a group of promoters said to be working in the interests of the Pacific Power & Light Company, for a 24-hour electric light and power service, to- be supplied from the White River Falls. Work Is expected to begin within 60 days on the installation of the new system. The lighting synlem and plants at each town has been bought by the new company and will be replaced by new machinery when the service wires reach the respective towns.

This 'work, which is comparatively near the Wichita station, where the county's pav ing plant is located, was laid at a cost of 92 cents a yard. . A half-mile stretch be tween McMlckles' corner and the Southern Pacific crossing on the same road near Clackamas was laid at a cost of 82 cents a yard. The exceptionally low cost of this piece of work was due to the fact that the paving was laid ' on top of an oil-bound macadam, which greatly lessened the pre liminary work. e The Tongass and Chugach National forests in Alaska cover an area along the south coast for more than 26,000 acres, several million acres in excess of the aggregate area of the 26 National forests of Washington and Oregon.

Barrett, of Union City, upon his appointment on the Grain Price-Fixing Board, say: "Northwest farmers look to you to take care of their Interests.
