BARLEY AND OATS ARE STRONG Moderate Wheat Selling Movement Reported From Country. Barley and oats were stronger all along the Una yesterday. At Seattle, feed barley was sold at 850. Oats ara held to be worth 951 in the local market. Wheat-selling In the country waa at the rate usual for the past few days. The move ment Is gradually increasing, but is not likely to attain good proportions until the price question is settled at Washington. Whatever the price Is, whether It will be the Chicago basis or a new basis for Port- land, it will be the maximum price which a miller can pay for wheat. The market for spot mill feed is holding firm, as there Is practically none to be had. One hundred tons of October bran were old at the Merchants' Exchange at $30.

It is difficult to. make any hard and fast quotation since there Is no market from which to make quotations. In Yorkshire the situation is without any material change from conditions which have been ruling for some time, according to ad vices to the Boston Commercial Bulletin. Stocks of mohair have increased latterly, It appears from regular cable advices. In Bradford, although licenses to ship any of the stocks to America are not easily forth coming: In tact, are secured only with dlf flculty. Advices from the Cape ara meager, but romor thence have been to the eftect that DUCKS DUCKS DUCKS BOO DUCKS WANTED AT ONCE. We guarantee 18 to 20c per pound. Top price for top quality.

Cap. 910,000.00 tha government purchase scheme for wool, tops and nolle Is not likely to be put into effect, as has been expected. The South African protectorate apparently is not open sufficiently to even moral suasion to make such a programme effective. Sales of alpaca continue steadily In Liv erpool, with prices very firmly maintained for all classes. STOCK CONDITIONS ABOUT NORMAL No Serious Reenlts Anticipated by Assistant Forester Barnes. PENDLETON. Or., Sept. 13. 'Special ) Stock conditions in Oregon are perhaps a little below normal, but no serious results are to be anticipated, said Will O. Barnes, assistant forester of the United States, who is here on an inspection trip over the Gov ernment reserves. He believes the stockmen will be compelled to sell off a part of their herds to avoid the losses they suffered last year, but does not look for a large sale for the reason that, with prices so high, the stockman will find it to his advantage to hold all the stock he can possibly care for. While the ranges are not in good shape this year, Mr. Barnes finds that there Is plenty of feed In the country. It Is, how- ever, held largely In the hands of specula tors and high prices are demanded. ALL HZDE MARKETS ARE DECLINING Local Buying Prices Will Be Two Cents Lower Monday.

CLOSE OF MARKET HEAVY Wheat Receipts Gain In Volume, Wt Are Still Unequal to Millers' Requirements Lower Esti mate for Spring Crop. CHICAGO. Sept. 14. General selling of corn resulted today from assertions that Germany's peao terms had been handed to the Pope. The market, which for the most part had been advancing until the peace talk became current, turned then sharply downgrade. Closing quotations were heavy, to 1 net lower, at $L1S to $1.18 for December. In provisions the outcome ranged from SOc decline to a raise of 35c Except during a brief time at the ooen ing, corn showed decided strength through out the first half of the session. The fact that the peace reports Included speclflo ref erences to absolute Independence for Bel- glum tended further to handlcan tha bulla and there was no lmDortant reaction from the break In values as the market came to an end. Export purchases amounting1 to 800.000 bushels failed to prevent oats from sagging in corn in toe late trading. Supplies of wheat sained a little volume. but not sufficiently so to overtake the de mand. Latest estimates of the Spring crop tne uakotas and Minnesota put the ag gregate at 6.000.000 bushels less than was suggested by the Government September re port- Active buying of Ootober lard gave the provision market a lift.

Bradstreet'a to- xuurruw win say; Trade grows, prospects for Fall are en couraging and Industrial outputs generally are only limited by lack of labor, but de pression Is created in some channels by past w, tuiure price rixing, by oncer tainiy over taxation on excess profits, by the hardening of rates for money and by the husbanding of resources to take care of the forthcoming Government loan. Still the wants of a very numerous vn.fimninv,rf people plus the enormous needs of a wealthy nation at war has made for a forwanl movement, and, while Government buying iseDi, mm more important market nave oeen visited by numerous merchants who have taken staple articles rather freely. It is undeniable, however, that high prices tend to deter free buying, and, moreover, those who control credit reins are disposed to discourage the locking up of too much "i nign-pncaa mercnandlse, espe cially as It is a foregone conclusion that h.
