Trading in coarse grain in the local mar- - Vet is at low ebb. The feeling In the oats . market, however, was firm yesterday, and bids for both Northwestern and Eastern oats were higher than on Wednesday. Feed bar ley offers were also raised. Eastern corn - for local delivery was unchanged to 50 cents lower. Weather conditions in the Middle West as - wired from Chicago: "Minneapolis, cloudy. rain most of night; cool. Winnipeg, snow ing; Chicago, cloudy; Peoria, foggy; St. Louis, clear; Kansas City, St. Joseph, cloudy, sprinkling; Topeka, cloudy; Omaha, Nebras ka City, clear, warmer; Davenport, cloudy. cold; Ohio, clear, Louisville, clear.'

Marchetti, field agent of the United States Department of Agri culture, as follows: Bushels. Wheat 29,200.000 Oats 11,200,000 Barley 4,930,000 In wheat production Whitman County leads with 5.747,000 bushels, Lincoln is sec ond with 5.110,000 bushels. Walla Walla has 4.130.O00 bushels and Adams 3,775,000 bush els. Whitman la also the heaviest oats pro ducer with 2,933.000 bushels and Skagit is second with 2,130,000 bushels. Columbia maintains Its lead in barley production with 1.340,000 bushels and Garfield follows with 1,100.000 bushels. Reviewing the crop situation the field agent says: "Winter wheat Due to drouth unfavor able Fall for seeding, and rotting out and Winter killing in Douglas, Grant, Lincoln, Adams. Franklin. Spokane, Whitman, Walla Walla, Asotin, Garfield, Columbia, Benton and Klickitat counties, the Fall wheat acre aee was the smallest harvested tn many Hogs and Veal Wanted We guarantee to pay tor -. 1 block hours 20 14 -21c per lb.

Top market prices guaranteed THE SAVIN AR CO., INC., 100 Front St. Cap. (10,000. years. The crop was affected by hot winds i and drouth, reducing yields materially. 1 However, yields generally, although below an average of ten years, were somewhat above July expectations. . "Spring wheat Excepting Franklin County and small local areas within Douglas, Grant, Adams and Lincoln counties (the large Spring wheat district), the crop yielded ma terially below a ten-year average due to hot winds and a drouth season, although the crop is better in these counties than an ticipated during the damaging weather In July, when absolute failure looked probable. Many yields, however, are falling below later expectations In this large Interior district." CIBE BUTTER SELLS IN SMALL WAY Extras Are Taken at 4SVz and -46 Cents. E ggs V e ry Fi rm. Local demand for cube butter developed In a small way yesterday after a lull of about two weeks. The announcement in The Oregonlan that the city is preparing to open a municipal butter market evidently caused buyers to figure it was an opportune time to pick up some of the surplus before It was too late. Sales of extras were made at 45 H and 46 cents. There was another advance in the egg market with sales on the street at 4S49 cents case count. Some handlers have put the jobbing price of selects up to 55 cents. The local demand for poultry was quiet, but prices were steady. An easier dressed pork market is looked for. CLARKE COUNTY PRUNE CROP CUT Present Estimate Is Outpnt of Not to Ex ceed 35 Carloads. A survey of the dried prune situation In Clarke County, Washington, made by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway Com pany, indicates that this year's crop will not exceed 35 carloads, or about 1150 tons, as compared with 109 carloads, or 3597 tons in 1916, and 71 carloads, or 2350 tons tn 1915. The long continued dry spell caused many of the prunes to wither, which makes them unsalable. These figures are a large de crease over the expectations of a month ago. Tokays From Rogne River. The first Rogue River Tokay grapes were In market yesterday, shipments arriving from Merlin and Grants Pass. Lug boxes sold at $1.25 and crates at $1.35. The grapes from both points were of fine quality. Bank Clearings. Bank clearinars of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: iJlarinjre. Balances.

TRADE VOLUME CONTINUES LARGE Hiph Costs Lead to Conservatism In Oper- ations for future. NEW YORK, Oct. 11. Bradstreet's Sat urday will say: Trade continues of large volume, but con servatism as regards future buying seems to be more marked and high latitudes to which prices for materiuls as well as labor have soared are causing .enough concern to restrict widespread trading. There is a dis position to wait and see how far Govern mental price regulation will go. Government orders, which flow to a vari ety of lines, are more than sufficient to off Bet recessions in what might be termed normal operations. Allowing for the reser vations noted, house trade is active, sales by jobbers are good and distribution by re tail dealers has been Improved by colder weather. The situation In the large cities close to cantonments could hardly be better, this statement being principally true of the South, where operations are also animated by the highest prices paid for cotton since I860. Stocks of general merchandise everywhere are light, and this fact, together with the high price of raw cotton. explains the strong undertone witnessed in the general textile situation. Failures on Pacific Coast. Reviewing the failure situation for the first nine months of this year R. G. Dun A Co. say: On the Pacific Slope 1223 defaults for $15,714,808 compared with 1378 last year for $12,213,917 and 1719 In the nine months' period of 1915. when the aggregate debts were $16,890,981. In both Washington and California fewer failures occurred than In 1918, the decrease In the latter being 83 and In Washington 72: hut In Oregon there was no change. A sharp expression was re ported In the Washington liabilities from $2,949,535 to $5,384,823 and in Oregon the amount rose from $3,459,792 to' $5,222,998, these .changes far more than offsetting the moderate contraction in California. Both in number and Indebtedness, Improvement was reported In manufacturing and trading, and while there was but one more failure in other commercial occupations, the amount Increased sharply.- Number.
