THE 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.

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
