Newspaper Page TextTHE MOUSING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY,' OCTOBER 5, 1917. SHIALLGMI60 GOMES Importations of Australian Wheat May Be Light. SOLD BEFORE PRICE FIXED XurUicr Shipments Likely to lie Sent to California Port s, Where Price Is Higher and Grain Is Needed. Crain dealers here da not fear that ira ItortaMons of wheat from Australia will crowd domestic wheat out of the Coast market. So far as . Is known locally only one Final, tailing: ship cario is en route to Portland. It was dispatched before the Government m heat price was fixed ajid was old to arrive. Several shipments of wheat from Austra lia have already reached San Francisco, and It Is held that with a $:M0 price there against f2.05 hre, the southern port would be tue logical market for Australian wheat. Northwestern wheat in San Fri.nc.HCO is worth 'J.20. with the freight added, and this, it Is thought, would make the foreign whoat more acceptable to California millers, particularly as it corresponds closely in qunlity to the bluestem grown here. Australia has a reserve stock of about 33::.OOO.noo bushels of wheat and is havlnff difficulty in moving it to Europe direct. No doubt a lrf?e part of it would be diverted here and thus release a corresponding amount of A meiican wheat for use by the allies If tonnage on the Pacific could b had. Tim scarcity of bottoms, however, is more acute on this side than on the Atlantic. The mills on the Coast, even if a consid erable quantity of Australian wheat were imported, it is declared, could handle the business. In the Paciric Northwest the frit Its have a capacity of about a million and a third, barrels a month, which allows for a considerable leeway after taking cart of the home crop. POTATO DEALERS TO BE LICENSED Official tirades Are Adopted at Washing ton Conference. A crrdinjr to rotto dealers who attended h meeting of shippers with Food Admin istration official at Washington recently, rns for handling the crop have been ten tatively decided upon. The official grades for potatoes recently promulgated by the Food Administration and the Department of Agriculture Jointly met vi 1th unanimous approval, and the as semblage voted t o f ol low the practice of buying and selling potatoes by the 100 pounds instead of by the sack or barrel, as has been tho custom. TCarli state represented elected one man to serve on a joint committee, which will meet with the purchasing committee of the Council of Iefnne to dmcuss ways and means of supplying the potato requirements f the Army and Navy. Among Rome -tff the things which were recommended and which it is believed will Ve adopted are the licensing of all dealers in potatoes. Including retailers who do a .gross business of $100,000 or mora per year. It In expected that the license will be a nominal one. but all must have it. and con duct their business in conformity with the rules or suffer a penalty of a $3tKW) fine or the revocation of - the privilege of doing busitieg.s. Under the operation of the rules it Is going to be hard tdedding for the man who is in the babit of buying potatoes and then refusing them if the market is down at tha time of arrival. In other words, the professional rejector is going to be put out of the potato business. If be buys a car and It is np to grade specified, which will be inspected by Government men, if the seller calls for it. he is going to pay Tor it. On -the other -hand, the farmer or shipper is not going to bo allowed to sell dirt along with his potatoes under a heavy penalty.

ENTIRE LIST WEAK Stock' Prices Still Falling in Face of Favorable News. LOSSES OF 2 TO 6 POINTS Lowest Records for Movement and in Xumerous ihstunces for Vcars Arc Scored Iealings Arc on Larger f Scale. NEW YORK. Oct. 4. On a pronounced accession of offerings, liquidation of stocks assumed wider proportions today, taking in shares of all descriptions. At no time did the decline meet with more than casual op position. Sentiment was preponderantly bearish, and the shorts experienced no diffi culty in extending their operations. There was again no news to explain the more acute depression. Some of the day's advices were distinctly hopeful, notably the review of the Federal Reserve Board, which emphasized the improved business conditions of the country. This was neutralized by re ports of returns of some 50 leading railroads which represented an increase of about $16. 0O0.000 in operating revenues, all of which was lost in greater cost of operation. War shares and industrials In general dis played increasing weakness in the face of such favorable developments as the award ing of additional large orders for supplies by home and foreign governments. Absence of buying power constituted the most dis concerting feature of the market. Low records for the current movement, and in numerous instances for years, in cluded representative rails like the Creat Northern. Chicago & Northwestern, At lantic Coast Line, St. Paul preferred and Baltimore & Ohio preferred. Kxtreme re cessions of 2 to 6' points were made by active industrials such as steels, equip ments, motors, oils and tobaccos, final quo tations for the most part being wit bin a traction of the day's lowest leveis. United States Hteel recorded a net loss of 2 at 105. .Sales amounted to S00,ioo shares. Bonds were heavy. Liberty 3 's varied from 9.7S to Iitt.iw. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3.U5o.OK. United States, old issues, were unchanged on ths coupon 3s rising on talr-s. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Pales. XM S.800 1.70I 1.

Today the world knows the use and value of wool for clothing, for the weaving of ruga and carpets, and for the various uses which this wonderful fibre alone will serve. But when the Duke of Burgundy instituted the Order of the tiol- aen fleece to enrnurajra the woolen Imliutrv in England, the use of wool was restricted to comparatively few garments: weaving 'n us lntancy. Flemish weavers were tli more skillful, and to offset Kngtlsh efforts me. jianseatic Leaaot was formed to nre vent English wool from being sold on the Continent. Kngland's cheap labor and auuuuani water power enabled her to com pete successfully with Flanders in tl.. ket. and she Imported Flemish artizans to mat n ner own w eavers their arts.
