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. Harvesting was de
layed owing to lack of labor and poor eco
nomic conditions. Oats and rye quality is
referred to as poor. 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. Weather unfav
orable tor late harvesting and movement.
Crops yielded poorly and quality unsatisfac
tory. Scarcity of supplies remains pro
jiounced. Balkan States. All advices report that
yields exceeded both former years of the
war. Much is still being shipped overland
to Centra 1 1 owers. orn yielded well.
United Kingdom. Weather cool and damp.
Harvest was disappointing of all grain. Po
tatoes yielded well.-. Stocks of foreign wheat
nd oats liberal, and large quantities are
owned in exporting countries.
- Germany and Austria-Hungary. Neutral
advices refer favorably to harvest, and espe
cially bread, corn and potatoes.
Australia. Weather is favorable and ag
ricultural prospects have greatly improved.
Ftocks of wheat remain large. 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. This is also having effect on the
barley market, where trading is limited.

Food Administration Actioa Follows &liarp
Bulge In Prices.
NEW YORK. 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.

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

Influence on the stock market torlay, cauning
various issues to decline to new ininimums

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-,

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.

specialties suffered the grew test losses, peo

more than S points. Coppers, distilling is

preclable Improvement. Total sales amounted

Promise of easier money was fulfilled,
both call and time rates again relaxing, the
