Newspaper Page TextTHE MOUSING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1917. 10 LINES SHORT Grocery Jobbers Are Facing Reduced Deliveries. PINCH WILL BE FELT SCON Treading Staple Articles Are Affected" Poor Crops, Scarcity of Cans and Purchases for f-ov-rrnmcni Kequircmeiils. Orprpry Jobber arp f .icing short deliveries this reason in a number oT the liyijmrtnt stpple lines. The Maine corn j.icl:. they rare advised, will be so short that only "" pet cent of the orders will be dollvr red, while on Western corn there will be about a Ji per cnt delivery. The tomato crp was a good one. but the packers are up against n. fdiortas-: of car?, with the result that deliveries will not exceed per rent. Feas hikI beans will also be short. There will be practically no strawberries this year, and light packs of other b rrics. "Walnut prices opened at the htghest pcint in the history of the trade, were later with drawn and now have been advanced '2 cents over the open in nr. n No. 1 walnut there will be a delivery of per cent and oliiy 40 per cih on No. 2 fdock. Commenting on the effect on the jobbing tradn of Government orders for canned N fioofl.-. trade advices from New York say: "Light demand for canned Kdi on the Fpot Js attributed to the urgent demands from the Government for immediate sup plies. It is declared in some quarters that this feature is primarily responsible for keeping; prices up to the top notch, a they are at the present time. t rdinarily, de mand from the retail trade la not as active as lias been represented, not only because most retai lers a I ready have their orders placed in advance, but because present prices ere sufliulent to induce caution. There is some doubt as to whether the ordii.ary consumer Is willing to pay the prices re quired by present wholesale rat s, especially for such items as tomatoes, for i nst a nee, which c re now more than three times what titty were in ordinary times. Nevertheless, it Is observed that many retailers are going the quickest way to try this out by. the fdmp)c expedient of immediately advancing their prices across the counter to conform t the present inTlated basis regardless of what they paid in the beginning. Most fu ture contracts were placed st prices con siderably below the present figures. to that thoss who were far-sighted enough to place their orders ahead will make good profits. However, othrrs who waited would find competition difficult. CHOP ritOSPKCTS IN El'ROPE POOR X4eld in Nearly Every Country Is Below Requirements. Unfavorable reports as to European crops a. re given by Uroomhall, who summarizes the situation en follows: Kuaia. rop accounts are gloomy both as to yield and quality, and the weather is generally wet and cold.

The food situation is critical. esDecia.II v in the cities, owing to poor railway facilities and both civil and military conditions are very unsettled. France. Weather during the week has been favorable, and this greatly facilitated In gathering of the crops in good condition, but neither the yield nor quality is satisfac tory. Offerings of new wheat are increasing, but still meaner, and officials are making strenuous efforts to further reduce con sumption. Foreign wheat is arriving slowly. 1 ttily: Crops gathered in mostly unfavor able weather. Yield and quality unsatisfac tory. Grea t efforts a re being made to weed an enlarged area to new crops. Foreign im portation is very important on a liberal st ale. Great stress is being made toward further economy In consumption. Spain. Harvest is gathered and thresh ing mostly finished. Yield will be equal to home requirements. but the government has authorized the purchase of additional aupplies in order to maintain stocks. Scandinavian Countries.

America is taking fair quant it ies. 1 ATS AND BARLEY ARE LOWER Jree Offerings of Eastern Oats "Yeaken Local Markets. Oats and barley bids were 50 rents lower t the exchange yesterday. There is a good Inquiry for milling oats, but the de mand for Northwestern feed oats is choked by the large quantity of Eastern oats of fering.

O t. t Speculation In cot tonseed oil. both by trade and outride in terests on the New York Produce Exchange, was tor bidden today by the bourd of inau agtra of the exchange at the instance of the food aiimitiintr.iUoii in Washiugton. This action by the food administration followed upon sharply advancing prices for cotton seed oil, culifiinating yesterday in a jump of 175 points to IIC cents a pound, a record hevr lit-tore reaclK-d. So-cailed hedge sell ing under certain conditions is to be per mitted. Sleculative trading in cottonseed oil for any delivery, either by trade or outride In tel ests, is prohibited. reads the ruling of the managers. "Hedge selling for protection against seed purchases or sale or refined oil, against purchase of crude oil, or pur chases by consumers or exiiorters are ier- miKihle, but such .operations shall be con- 1 fined to legitimate 1 rade interests only and .shall be of the smallest possible proportions consistent with the purpose of this rule." Future ti ading of this kind will be con fined t current months and two months ahead and to the closing out of old con tracts for any month. Dally fluctuation, in price beyond 1 cent a pound are forbidden. Local Jobbers were advised yesterday of 2 -cent rise in cottonseed oil prices. A leading Eastern brand of shortening was advanced cents. -Naval HI ore.. SAVANNAH. Oct. ft. Turpentine, firm, 47c: sales, J!M barrel: receipts, -VJ; ship ment, us;: utock, tl.oos.

BROKERS' SERVICES USED Delegation of Western. Growers In formed There Is o Authoriza tion in Law fo KMablNli Value of Product at Tills TJnieT OnEGONIAX.NKWS BTRKAU. Washing ton, Oct. 1. The T'nited States t'overninent hss no present intention of fixing- a price on raw woo), as it 'hum done In the case ot sted. copper and fuel, nor has the tSov ernment any present Idea, of buying raw wool In bulk. This Is the assurance jtlven a lelegHtion of the Western woolcrowers who recently came to Wash In mon to urire thnt the Government cstablisti a. price on wool and buy direct from the grow ers, in Bted of Ihrowcli middlemen. This delegation, which Incliide-i J. D. tiol Ilday. of KillinKw: . T. Thurston, of f?len dlve. Mont.; V. W. Ooodinc nnd A. .1. Nollrn. of Idaho, snd other wool men of Wyoming a nd ot her Western sta tes. hd conferences, while In Wflshinarton, with the Secretary of War. the Secretary of Agriculture, Harney Bitruch, of the 'ouncil of National De fense, and the wool committee of the Coun cil. Everywhere it met the same response. "We have no legal authority to fix a price on wool." The wool jr rowers urjred that lh Govern ment do with wool what it has done with wheat, fix prfc and designate certain markets where that price shall apply. They especially asked for a basic price at Chie;o and Boston. The argument advanced by the woolKrowers Was that If the Government would cut out the wool brokers. H could save .15 to '20 cents u pound on wool, the Wool grotver could s:et a fair price, which they were entirely wililn? the (;overnmnt should establish, and by buying direct, transactions could be closed more speedily than is pos sible if purchases are made through brok ers. At no time did the woolarrowers under take to nme a price which they would consider fair and reasonable; they said, on the other hand, that they would let the Government Itself determine the price, and they would abide by it. But they, did want to see the broker eliminated, as he has been in other lines where the Government is buy ins its raw materials direct from t he pro ducer. They cited instance of this, one of the latest bein? the elimination of the mid dleman In the purchase of spruce lumber for the manufacture of airplanes. There the Government has flatly refused to buy through brokers, and it has done the same thing in buyfn-r miscellaneous supplies for the Army, t-hoes. tents, etc. If that doc trine Is good, us regards certain coin modi -tlo, the wool men argued. It would be equally good when applied to the purchase of wool for the manufacture of cloth for uniforms. It will be remembered that early In the war the announcement was made that the Government Intended to buy up t he Ameri can wool clip. Woolmen were summoned to Washinuton. only to learn that the plan had been abandoned, as the War Department and Navy Department were able to make satis factory contracts with the t'oth manufactur ers. That policy, bp pa rent-1 y. Is to be a d hered to, at least until such time as Con gress shall specifically authorize the Gov ernment regulation of wool prices, which it did not do In pnssinir the food control bill. Whether or not the Western woolmen will nsk for legislation granting this au thority, applicable to the clrjV of 1!1S, has not yet been determined. WILLAMETTE VAI-LKY IIKEIGROWING Ideal Section for Production of line Grade of Stock. Xever before in the history of the coun try has the demand Tor wool been so press ing. In discussing the opportunity of Wil lamette Valley farmer., H. A. Blanchard, agriculturist of the Livestock State Bank, says: "There now ss-pears to be a. world short age of ."-t.nno.Oou sheep, or about ." per cent of the flocks. In the United States-there lias been a gradual but steady decrease In sheep since Ittuo. I'ntil now we have a llt tio leaH than one-half a sheep per head, where there ouuht to be five pr capita. Records reveal t hat there are but 4"J.hitu,ijno sheep in the tnitPd States. With the or ganization of tlie National Army, t he wool manufacturers and clothing men have dis covered it will take lOO.ono.itno pounds for clot hi ng for the Army pnd Navy, or about one-third of the domestic wool crop will he consumed for clothing the boys a the font. This meant an Increase of r'o pounds per in dividual over the civilian clothes. 'Oregon is ra led at the seventh state In wool production, with 1MS4,0M sheep, it would be d iff icult to increase the sheep al ready 011 t he Eastern Oregon range. How ever. Western Oregon and the Wil ianu-t te Va.1 b-y can easily carry from t hree to tout times the present amount. There Is an op portunity for the Western Oregon farmer to keep all the sheep that the farm will stand. This seer t ion of t lie count ry produces fine nnimeis and phould be the source of the breeding stock. In fact, on many farms the nhe p will be a benefit, by the destruc tion of the weeds and the Improvement of the soil, w hich In the majority of casts is worth the rott of their keep, and the In crease of the herd and the wool wilt be largely clea r profit. '"Grant B. Dimick. of Oregon City, has been In t he aheep business since ISM and states that on pure breds he has realized $2o a. head, including wool and Increase, and on cross-breds just half, or $1 '2. 'tit a head. Mrs. Koberts, of Marquam, purchased 22 head of grade Cotswold ewes this year. The wool was sold at Tfic a. pound. After her pales were made of both lambs and wool, the 22 head of ewes brought her $42-". While' this is unusua.1 It shows what good care will do. Coffee Advance Not Maintained. NEW YORK, Oct. 1. A more optimistic view of peac prospects was considered re sponsible for some scattered Wall -street buying in the market . for coffee futures early today, 4mt slight advances were not fully maintained and later fluctuations were irregular. The openinsr was 1 point higher and active months sold about 5 to 0 points net higher right after the cull with Decem ber touching 7.l2c nnd .1 uly 7.11 c. There was some trade selling at this advance and a renewal of near-month liquidation which sent December back to 7. 'Hie and July to 7.SSC The close was net :t points higher to :l points lower.

STOCKSLUMPGONTINUES SHORT SELLING AND LIQtlDATIO.X SEXI) LIST DOWX. New Minimum on Various Isnaest He corded for Current Movement. Money Market Eaaler. NKW YORK. Oct. 9. Short selling and liquidation Again exerted an unfavorable Influence on the stock market torlay, cauning various issues to decline to new ininimums for the current movement. In several note worthy Instances th quotations also rep resented lowest levels of recent years. Seasoned stocks offered some resistance to pressure. United States Steel and Union Pacific rallying briskly on the temporary improvement manifested at midday, but losing ground again on the wider and more extensive offerings of the last hour. United States Steel recovered 1 Ms points to lOti-, and Union Pacific J V?. but both went down at the end. Steel fell to 104. or within a point of its lowest price of recent months, and closed at 105U. off & on the day. Utilities, oils, tobnrcoe and a few other specialties suffered the grew test losses, peo ple's Gas added 7 points to yesterday's de cline of IV Ohio Gas lost T : Texas Com pany yielded ft points, and United Cigars more than S points. Coppers, distilling is sues and minor rails suffered rsverses of 1 to 8 points. Final prices showed no ap- preclable Improvement. Total sales amounted to 74o.O(jU. Promise of easier money was fulfilled, both call and time rates again relaxing, the latter for the shorter periods only. Bonds were heavy. Liberty 34s repeating their recent minimum of PH.oi!. though raising later to sm.74. Total bond sales, par value, aggregated 4,lMMJ0n. United Stales bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call.
