Newspaper Page Textc THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTE3IBER 13, 1917. 19 WHEAT SALES LARGE Farmers in Northwest Begin ning to Let Go. MILLERS READY BUYERS Uulk of Farmers, Howeier, Will Wait TTntU Price Question Is Definitely Settled Strong Inquiry From California. Tlaeh day now sees an Increased volume of wheat selling in the. country, yesterday's ales being the- largest for any day since the Government price, was announced. Judg ing from reports received from the Interior the idea is gaining ground among farmers that the price will stand where- it was origi nally fixed. The great mass of growers, however, are taking no steps yet to sell, as they know it Is a question of only a few days before- the matter is definitely settled one way or the other. It is probable that final announcement will not be made by the authorities until the Northwestern farmers' committee reaches Washington and has an opportunity to prenent Its arguments, but at the latest thts action should be taken by the early part of nxt week. For this reason the bulic of the growers are holding back. The statement coming from Mr. Hoover's office and from the Northwestern Senators at Washington would indicate tha t no change in the price is likely to be made, and this view is now taken by nearly all the dealers in this section, A free . selling movement would be wel comed not only by the miller's here, but by the milling trade of California, which Is looking: anxiously to Oregon and Washing ton for a needed supply of wheat. Offerings are light in the oats and barley market and prices arc on a firm basis. Bids at the Merchants Exchange yesterday were raised 50 cents in both lines. -Weather conditions in the Middle "West, as Tired from Chicago: "Minneapolis, raining, cool. Winnipeg, threatening.

ALL CLASSES SELL LOWER Disturbances in Russia Play Impor tant Part in Shaping Day's Spec ulationMany Recoveries in liate Rally. NEW TOntT, Sept. 21. A wave of sell-. Intr, in which high-Krade railroads and in dustrials figured conspicuously, brought about a Fharp and seceral decline in stocks today. Many issues went urwier I he low points of the recent setback, and in some instances the lowest prices in a number of years were reached. Trading increased sub stantially, the total sails mounting to bll.oou. Although there was no .utstandln;; feature of the situation to account for the weak ness displayed by the market, the disturb ances in Kussia played a considerable part in shaping sentiment. The Petrograd ca bles were followed closely In the street and traders hesitated to make commitments on the long side, under th present unsettled conditions. Russian bonds suffered a further relapse and the rate for ruhles was depressed abruptly to a new low record at Ills, com pared with about 52 in normal times. There was a late recovery to I1. Bear traders operated confidently, meeting with little opposition most of the day. Great er slgoificance, however, was attached to the elling of conservative investment issues. hich ordinarily are not associated with peculative maneuvers. The lack of support for such stocks as these and the extent of their dcclinee on comparatively small of ferings undermined the market after a steady opening, and prompted more general selling. The movement gathered momentum In ttie fternoon, but the low level finally reached brought out an increased demand. In the last hour the list rebounded sharply, regain ing a. considerable amount of the ground lost. Selling was heaviest in Pteel. which for a ime was thrown on the market in large mounts, forcing down the price 3 points. urther weakness appeared in th. motors. Heading. Union Pacific. Uelaware & Hudson, loulsvili. Canadian Pacific and t. Paul were conspicuously heavy features on the railroad list. Southern Railway preferred dvanced on the resumption of dividends nd New Haven, which has shown decided weakness recently, was in better demand and moved again in the market. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par alue, $.1,34.1,000. Liberty bonds were tronger at t KS to WW.tHl. United States onds were unchanged on call. Tiiere was a harp rally in the rates for rubles late In he day, demand elliug at 14 V and cables at HVj. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closlns High.

Oats showed a net gain of l(rrhc. in provisions the outcome ranged from t0c decline to a rise of -tec. Depression that prevailed toward the end of the day in the corn market bad as a basis the fact that liquidation is not usually confined to any one srticle, and that many owners of stocks were believed to be Jong on grain. Previous to the final hour the bulls ruled the pit. ecejJt just at the open in&. Initial declines were aacribed to bet ter weather for maturing the crop. Oats developed firmness on account of continued smallness of receipts here. Coun try offerings to arrive were scanty, and it was said numerous farmers were holding bark on oats until better assured of the safety of corn. xpert call for oats was aain in evidence. Arrivals of wheat proved altogether too meager to satisfy an urgent tlemaad from mills in Chicago and elsewhere. Flout stocks in distributors hands were also said to be very light. Rapid progress was re ported in plowing for the next Winter crop. Kansas advices in particular said the crop of that state would exceed -the 12 per rent increase requested by the federal Govern ment. Provisions were governed chiefly by the action of corn.
