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.

astrous. Balkan States. Weather was fine for the
completion of harvest. Yields of wheat and
toats far exceed earlier expectations.
France. Weather is wet in northern re

Russia. Crop reports ere variable, but our
agent says that in important Spring wheat
regions- the outlook is bad and enemy troops
have invaded an important region where
harvesting and threshing is finished. Stocks

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

Wheat Receipts at Chicago
Are Still Meager.
FALL PLOWING PROGRESSES
Corn Prices Weaken In Sympathy
With Break in Wall-Street Mar
ketBetter Weather for
Crop Maturing.
CHICAGO. Sept. 12. Com weakened In
value at the last today, owing to sympathy
with a break in the New York stock mar
ket. The close was heavy, 4 c to net
lower, with Iecember tl.llhk and May
1.14 7-4 -1.13. 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. The bearish influence of b-ig
sales of compound Lard to the Belgian relief
coromlttea was thus more. tbn offset, es
pecially as regarded pork. -

Ashland The long continued drouth has
not ss yet been hrlJi by rainfall. Fully
73 per cent of the small grains have been
Nireshed or stacked. No change ia yield
or quality since last report, which was VO
per cent of normal. Second cutting of al
falfa practically completed and is making
a good yield. The gathering ot peaches and
pears will practically be completed this
week, while -the gathering of apples will not
begin until about the 25c h of the month.
Quality of all fruits exceptionally good.
Rain is needed for pasture and to enable
the farmers to proceed with their i all
plowing.
Eugene This section was favored with a
good rain during the past week, whch is
very beneficial to late potatoes and corn.
The rain has done no damage to other
crops. Th hay crop Is cut and baled, while
75 per cent of the small grains have either
been threshed or stacked. The late rain will
help apples or other fruits very little; how
ever, it is welcomed by the farmers, which
will help the pastures and enable them to
proceed with their Fall plowing.
Newberg A jtteady ruin has fallen for
about the past three days in this section,
which is welcomed by the farmers and will
Improve the late potatoes, corn and apples.
Practically all hay has been bald and
stored and fully 70 per cent of small grain
has either been threshed or stacked. Do not
anticipate any damage to the latter.
Rjaseburg Namber of showers have fallen
here In the post five days, which were very
beneficial to the pastures, lata potatoes, corn
or other crops which had not been dam
a:ed to any extent by the continued drouth,
and will enable the farmers to start their
Fall plowing. The pears have practically
all been gathered and shipped. Apples will
commence to move about the 25th of the
month and indicate normal crop.
4edford As yet, no relief obtained from
the continued drouth. Indications of rain
were very favorable, however, have disap
peared. Practically 75 per cent of small
grains thre-shed or In shock. Second cutting
of alfalfa yielding about CO per cent of nor
mal owing to I he continued dry weather.
Potatoes show an increase in acreage of 20
per cent; yield will probably be same as last
year. Quality poor, account of continued
dry weather. Bean acreage shows 50 per
cent Increase, yield about same as last
year. Owing to diy weather they made very
little progress. In i gated peaches and pears
of good quality and good yield. Those on
non-Irrigated lands are small, while the
quality is good. Apples will yield a normal
crop: however, worms are appearing In some
localities and may reduce the crop to soma
estent.
