Newspaper Page TextTIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1917. 17 WHEAT SALES MADE Country Business Negligible at Government Price. DETAILS NOT WORKED OUT flour Quotations Will Be Readjust ed "When Pe Crop Grata Is Milled Trading In Feed Cereals Is at Standstill. There was a small amount of wheat buy ing lu the country yesterday at the price fixed by the Government, but there will be ne movement in volume until Mr. Houser receives definite word from Washington ot the exact status of this zone. It is believed by local dealers that -the basis as first an nounced will bold, but until this fact is confirmed operations will be held back. Other points also require clearing up, par ticularly the position of Independent dealers. Ja the meantime wheat is coming into tho country warehouses in larger amounts, though it was reported from some sections, especially In Umatilla County, that the farmers were piling up the wheat in the field. ,1'lour prices are likely to undergo a further decline on the old crop product, and as soon as new wheat flour is milled it will be listed on the basis of the Govern ment wheat price. Bakers declare that bread prices cannot be reduced until new flour Is sufficiently aged to be used. Most of tb bakers are carrying good-slsed stocks f high-priced flour, and some have enough to carry them until the end of the year. These bakers are not disposed to lower the price oX bread while they are. using; 12 flour. There was no trading In the coarse cereals. IAt the Merchants Exchange oats and barley bids eie 6U vents to $1 lower than on. Satur day.

There has been neither wind nor rain, making ideal Jiarvesting conditions. With a better hay crop In this section than in most places In the West, the price if hay has gradually strengthened during the month. Hay Is now being contracted, freely at 115 pr ton In the stack. 'Grain threshing is under way, and al though there are few reports as yet of yields,' enough lias come in to show that our prediction of last month was correct rid that the average yield will fall short, principally on account of the hot weather during ripening time. "Apples are maturing and promise a good, clean crop. We understand that offers have been made at $22.50 to 25 per ton, loose on braird cars, orchard run. It la also re. ported that sales have been made at $1.15 per box, face and fill. Prunes are dropping badly and the crop will be light. "There seems to be a rush of unfinished cattle, on the Portland market, owing to dry range conditions and high-priced hay. There Is nothing doing locally, and in spite of the feeling that cattle will be high in the Fpring there is a hesitancy In feeding $13 nay. The present sacrifice of breeding stock only adds to the general cattle shortage which is bound to bo felt In the near future. "With soaring hog prices throughout the country local dealers reported a price of $16.50 to 17 f. o. b. Caldwell. Tho past two days there has been a general drop in prices, so that 18 cents la probably about the local price today. "About 75 ears of potatoes have eomo in to date over the Wilder branch. The first 18 cars sold at $3 per hundred, tho price now neing annul si.is. tt Is reported that a further considerable drop Is scheduled. Yield and quality are both good and the po tato farmers are making a fine record." WASHINGTON FRUIT CBOP ESTIMATED State Agricultural Department Puts Apple xieia ac 17,431 cars. . The monthly report of the Washington fctate Department of Agriculture says: During the past month, weather condl tlons- have been such that In some sections the milt will fail to develop to normal size. which somewhat reduces former estimates. 1 ho codling moth has been very aotive and growers who do not thoroughly spray for tne pest are liable to have a large per centage of wormy fruit. A severe wind storm prevailed In some districts, which, it reported to have caused a loss of 200 oar jonqs- crop estimates follow, carloads: District Takltna Valley Apples Peaehef Pears .MIKO 1200 000 .T.-.N 148 374 . fi.13 ISO S3 . 75") 2 10 Walla Walla tpokne Western Washington Total '. . 500 8 IOO .17.431 153T 1419 Plums and prunes are estimated at " 584. w. iu.ua Miia oiner irtnts at carloads.

Sharp Demand for Peaches. There was a lively demand for neaehea yesterday. The market was rather lightly supplied and prices were firm at 85 cents to $1 for Oregon Crawford. Cantsloupes sold well at steady prices, but tho inquiry for melons was smaller. The market ts nearly bare of California Clravenstelns. but a car is due Thursday.

Cove farmers are taking $2.20 wheat so seriously some are preparing treble and more than customary Fall sowing. Oeorge Alexander has rented contiguous land so as to raise ni to 20 acres. With him. as witn bis neighbors, it is not so much how to secure land to plant to wheat as how to secure farmhands to tend and harvest it if their sons may not be exempted.

Coffee Futnres Market Easier. NEW YORK. Sept. 4. The market for coffee futures was easier today under scat tered selling, which was attributed to the good weather reported In Brazil over the holidays and nervousness over the weakness of the stock market. Offerings were not particuarly heavy or aggressive, but there was very little support in evidence, and after opening at a decline of 1 tu 3 points the market closed at a net loss of 2 to 4 points. December contracts eased off fpom T.8O0 to 7.70c and May from 8.14c to bile Sales were reported of 22.finO bags.

Spot coffee was reported In moderate de maud with prices unchanged at 9to for Rio 7s and lOsc for Santos 4s. No change was reported In the cost and freight sllu ation, with offers of Santos 4s ranging from about 9.40c to 9.50c, London credits. The official cables reported no change In Brazilian markets except Santos fuures. which were IOO to 125 reis lower.

LAST PRICES ARE LOWEST Standard Railway Shares and Tread ing Industrials Suffer Severely. Steel Is Off Nearly 5 Points. Bonds Are Also lfeary. NEW YORK, Sept. 4. The absolute dom lnence of the short interest over prevail ing market conditions was demonstrated anew today when stocks underwent further serious depreciation Some investment Is sues registered lowest prices of recent years, while others of less stable value established new minlmums. Opening prices were 1 to 2 points higher for many active stocks, the bears being driven to cover mainly because of the Sen ate's rejection of the excess profits tax bill. Initial advances were more than main tained until noon, when New York Central. St. Paul and New Haven developed acute weakness, all declining to lower records. This seemed to be tho occasion for a gen eral attack upon the entire railway list, which yielded easily on persistent pressure. With the break in rails came a more se vere setback to the Industrials, notably war shares and specialties. United States Steel fell from Its early high of 111, which rep resented a gain over last week of to 104 H and closed at 104, a net loss of 4 points. Shippings, oils, motors and a few other stocks in which forenoon advances ran from 3 to 7 points, reacted no less sharply tban steels. Activity was at Its flood In the final hour, that period, also marking the day's lowest price. Total sales amounted to 1,100.000 shares. Bonds were heavy or weak wltli signs of liquidation. Liberty 3 Vs ruled between UU.88 to il.1.94. Total bond sales (par value) aggregated $3,G80,000. United States bonds told issue! w.ero unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales.
