THE MORNING OR EG ONI AN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1917.
ORDERS ARE PLACED
Large Allotments of Flour for
November Account.
OCTOBER SHIPMENTS MOVE
Government Business Placed With
All Mills in Northwest in Agree
incut AViiH Food Administra
tion ; Millfccd May Hold Up.
October shipments of flour bought by the
Government are moving eastward freely.
Large allotments have been placed for No
vember shipment, the offers of all mills in
agreement with the Food Administration
having been accepted to the amount offered.
The millfeed market for spot was Btrong,
but distant deliveries were easier. At the
I-rclia.nts Exihanpe loo tons of November
bran were sold at against paid
on tho preceding day, and 300 tons of No
vember shorts brought against ?:tn.."iU
on Tuesday. A carload of spot bran sold at
( ao.r.n.
Whilo the mills will be running as full
Hxt month a in October, the pronpecta are
that the outturn in December will be lighter.
This and the heavy buying that is antici
pated for Winter requirements may prevent
mill feed prices from sagging to any great
extent, as some members of the trade have
expected.
Oats and barloy were stead3 Local trade
was quiet, but there was some movement in
hot h cereals in the country. Barley was
Stronger at interior points than here.

Itl'SSIAN HAKVEST I'XSATISFACTOBY
Agricultural Prospects for doming Season
Are iloomy.
Crop conditions and supplies In Europe
and in Australia are reported by Broom
hall as follows:
, Russia All reports from last harvest are
uniformly unsatisfactory, both as to yields
and quality. Jt ii? claimed that stocks are
large but movement is small, and if peasants
are holding lari?e reserves the present prices
offered by officials are indeed attractive
enough to Induce free marketing. Agricul
tural prospects are gloomy, as weather is
against seeding, labor is scarce and eco
nomic conditions unsatisfactory, as the de
preciated paper currency causes great unrest.
France The great bulk of the crop is now
safely gathered and threshing is on a broad
scale, with general weather better. Plowing
Is being pushed. Results of yield is distinctly
lUrhu'but no estimates have so far been re
vealed. Millers are complaining of lack of
supplies, as military authorities have taken
possession of early threshings. Import needs
will be large and arrivals are now inade
quate. Italy Harvest revealed poor yields. Stocks
are light everywhere, and a general strike
among dock hands is in progress, they re
fusing to unload foreign arrivals. General
conditions, from a supply and demand stand
point, tin Ha t Isfactory.
Spain Threshing Is finished and the grain
Safely stored. Yield was very satisfactory
and home needs ample.
Scandinavian countries Reports are very
unfavorable as to yields, and general short
age of supplies noted. Potatoes show bet
ter results.
Balkan States Harvesting finished and
threshing also. Yields are generally con
ceded as favorable. Stocks are liberal,
Jespite free exportation overland.
United Kingdom Crop accounts are not
favorable. Farmers are still holding seed
wheat at Sos per quarter, and this makes
R difficult for millers to obtain supplies,
ieed must be allotted first, as the general
quality is not high.
Australia Crop prospects have greatly
Improved, and agriculturists are favorably
impressed with the coming yield. Old re
serves remain -la rue.
CORN CROP 14 NOW MAM
Increase in Winter Wheat Acreage Cnfit
Mock Marketed.
Tn its weekly summary of crop condi
tions tho American Steel & Wire Company
ays:
"All reports indicate that the corn crop Is
row made and the frost damaxe was not as
ever as was at first anticipated. Much
of the damaged corn has been placed in
ados and has in this way been saved fori
tock feeding purposes. The crop will at
least be normal, and it may turn out to
lie a bumper crop after all of it is har
vested. This Is chiefly due to the greatly
Increased acre:ie planted this year.
"Great preparations are being made to
Increase the Win:er wheat acreage, but this
activity is somewhat handicapped, by
weather conditions, which in the East are
too wot and In the Cent ral West, as well
as in Western Oregon, too dry. making it
Impossible to thoroughly prepare the ground
4n a proper manner for high-priced seed.
"The livestock situation also merits com
ment. The farmers are get ting panicky
v 1th fe:i r t hat the Government may so re
duce prices as t o make livestock feeding
Unprofitable. Hence livestock is being
rushed to market in an unfit condition and
stock being sold that should remain on the
farm. The Government should adopt strong
measures to check this panicky condition.
"The Government is st Tenuously agitating
the conservation of wheat by substituting
corn and lesser value grains for same in
preparing breadstuff for the country, but
reports persist in coming in that the wheat
Is being fed to hogs and livestock because
Jt is cheaper to feed than corn. This ma
licious practice should at once be corrected
at the source."
. OREGON E(i(i MARKET IS FIRM
It utter Slow and Rarely Steady Cheese Re-,
ported Weak.
The butter market continues slow and the
undertone Is barely steady. There was an
other half-cent decline at San Francisco yes
terday. Eggs were firm with a moderate demand
for fresh Oregons and very few offering. It
as expected the receipts of Eastern eggs
ould ease the local market, but the Eastern
stock lias not proved a strong competitor.
Chee was quoted weaker with a poor tie
xnand for Ore sons.
Dressed meats and poultry were steady.
Onion Yield Is Light.

$2.3.1. Washington County's output will be
about 2o8 cars, or more than all other com
munities, including Clarke fount y. Wash
