THE MORNING OREGONTAtf. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22. 1017.
COARSE GRAIN WEAK
Oats and Barley Bids Are Re
duced at Exchange.
DROP OF 50 CENTS TO $1.50
ss Disposition to Speculate Since
Food Administration Fixed Mill-
feed Values Local Quotations
on Bran and Shorts GiTen.
The coarse grain markets were weaker
11 firound yesterday. One hundred tons of
January local oats -were sold at the Mer
chants 'Exchange at $58, or 80 cents under
the bid price of Thursday. Offers for De
cember oats were $1.50 lower, at $56.50.
while bids for Eastern bulk oats averaged
about B0 cents under those of the day be
fore. The weakness spread to the barley mar
ket and the top bid prices posted were 50
cents ahort of those of Thursday, notwith
standing; the strength of barley mt San Fraa-
CiHCO.
Since the Food Administration took ac
tion on millfeed prices the tendency has
been to go slow on coarse groin, specula
tion, aa there la a good chance that these
cereals will soon receive the attention of the
Government grain authorities.
The fixing of standard oats and barley
ices, in the opinion of traders here, would
not have as much effect on market condi
tions as in the Eastern sections, as supplies
re now well cleaned up In the Northwest.
Local millfeed prices have been revised
In accordance with the latest ruling of the
Food Administration. In carload lots bran
is now quoted at the mills at (29.50 and
shorts at $31..50. Mixed cars and less than
carload lots are quoted at (30 for bran and
$32 for shorts.
Weather conditions- In the Middle West,
as wired from Chicago: "Minneapolis, clear,
cool; Duiuth. clear, zero; "Winnipeg, snow
ing; balance grain belt generally cloudy,
cool, 26 to 45."

WASHINGtON WHEAT AVERAGE SMALL
Iecrease In Seeded Ares From Last Tear Is
332,000 Acres.
Winter wheat and rye acreage an con
dition in Washington on December 1 are given
by the Bureau of Crop Estimates as follows:
Winter wheat acreage, December 1, 1917,
422.000 acres', December 1. 1916. 754.000
acres (33 per cent later abandoned, due to
W'inter killing and rotting); December 1.
1015, 867.000 acres; December 1. 1914, 1,
150.000 acres.
Winter wheat condition, December 1, 1017,
78 per cent of norma!; December 1, 1916, 72
per cent; 10-year average, 02 per cent.
Bye acreage, December 1, 1917, 9000 acres;
December 1. 1916, 8000 acres; December 1,
1915. 8000 acres.
wye condition, December 1. 1917. 80 per
cent of normal; December 1, 1916, 81 per
cent: 10-year average, 96 per cent.
A large portion of the Fall wheat this
year was seeded under extremely unfavor
able dry conditions, causing a very spotted
germination In the greater portion of the
fields and no germination until late Novem
ber in many fields in areas of the state where
the rainfall was light. Occasionally fields
germinated and the wheat died for lack of
moisture and a portion of the seed rotted
on account of Insufficient rains. The nor
mal favorable field Is the exception, but
there are small areas In each county where
the rainfall was heavier, which have pro
duced normal fields. The rain and snow of
late November and early December have Im
proved conditions materially and have ger
minated practically all the late-sown fields,
but the crop, barring the exceptionally fav
orable field, will enter Winter quarters In a
tender condition, due to lack of sufficient
growth and vitality.
TCRKET SUPPLY SHORT OB DEMAND
Market Is Strong and Choice Stock Cleans
I p at. St Cents.
The supply of turkeys received was as
large as most dealers expected, but the de
mand was greater than they anticipated
and ,many did not have enough to fill the
orders on thai- books. As a consequence
the market was a strong one. Choice
turkeys sold at 31 to 32 cents, good sec
onds brought 26 to 27 cents, and culls went
at 23 to 24 cents. Quality on the whole was
good and much better than on Thanksgiv
ing. In the retail markets 87 and 38 cents
was asked for No. 1 turkeys.
There were liberal receipts of dressed
geese, which . were In demand at 2222
cents. Dressed ducks were scarce and
brought 2730 cents.
Live poultry sold fairly well and the early
arrival cleaned up at unchanged prices.
Dressed meats were quiet and steady.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2L The authoritative
statement that all reports concerning the
next Government loan are merely conjectural,
and decidedly premature and signs of a
collapse of the peace negotiations between
Russia and the continental powers contrib
uted to the future strength of the stock
market today.
. Prices, after the preliminary period of un
certainty, advanced 2 to 3 points among lead
ing Issues, wlthgreat gains in the varied
list of specialties. Technical conditions also
were helpful, shorts again covering rather
urgently on the increasing scarcity of of
ferings. -
. Ralls and the more representative Indus
trials moved to highest levels, but shaded
a point or more towards the end, the reversal
synchronizing with the definite announce
ment that action on ho railroad situation
is to be postponed until after the holidays.
Sales were G50,00f, snares.
With the many large financial operations
now under way. the market continued very
firm, all call money loans holding at 6 per

the shorter maturities.
Exchange on France, Russia and Spain
moved more In favor of those countries.

All the foreign bonds augmented yester
day's gains, some by 2 to 4 per cent. Do

3V4a at' 98.34 to 98.10. Total sales, par
value, amounted to $5,375,000. United States

CORN PRICES FALL
Lifting of Embargo Fails to
Stimulate Demand.
REACTION NOT UNEXPECTED
Great Increase In Supply of Gars
Also Adda to Selling Pressure.
Clear, Cold Weather Im
prove Quality of Crop.
CHICAGO. Dec 21. Corn prices took a
downward swing today, owing largely to
report that the lifting of the railroad em
bargo east of Chicago had failed to stimu
late shipping demand. The market closed
unsettled. o to c lower, with January
$1.24 01.24 and May $1.22 to $1.22
Oats finished c to 2o down, but provi
sions up 27c to 50c.
Most traders regarded a bearish reaction
In the corn market as a Dractical certainty
aicer yesterday's extraordinary upturn. Spe
cific grounds, too, tor selling presaure were
soon apparent, notably advices that East
ern roads had been ordered to return to
the West a total of 17.000 empty boxcars
and that 2700 of the cars "had been deliv
ered In the last three daya. Clear, cold
weather likely to improve the quality of
tne crop tended also to ease the market.
The greatest handicap for the bulls, how
ever, proved to be disappointment, which
Increased as the day wore on, that no sub
stantial expansion of Eastern demand had
resulted from the canceling of the railroad
embargo between here and the Atlantic sea
board. Oats were bearishly affected by the ab
sence of stimulus from the East. Gulf bids
were confined to country stations.
Strength in the hog market lifted provi
sions. Packers bought.

GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS HEAVY
Holiday Buying Enlarge All Retail Trade.
Jobbing Business Good.
NEW YORK, Dec 2L Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
Increasingly important Governmental re
quirement., q.ulokened retail trade, due to
cold weather and holiday buying, difficulty
In operating leading Industrial lelants owing
to paucity of fuel, and better than seasonal
distribution by wholesale dealers, as well
as Jobbers, the trends In the latter respect
having been carried along by activity at
secondary markets as distinguished from
movements at the ao-called primary centers,
where trade 4iaa receded, present the chief
characteristics of this week's reports.
Industry is strenuously trying to fill Gov
ernment orders. In the face of numerous
handicaps flowing from shortage of cars,
lack of fuel. Insufficient supplies of labor
and inclement weather. At the same time
the season for Inventorying, as well as the
continuous shifting from non-essential out
puts, has resulted in a degree of quiet In
industries that are not favored withwar or
ders. Of course, holiday buying has enlarged all
retail trade and cold weather and deep snow
have stimulated demand for heavy-weight
wearing apparel and footwear. Withal, rest
ervatlons must be made in regard to the
trend of Christmas trade, reports regarding
which lack uniformity. Indeed, some sec
tions disclose a record business and buying
of high grades of merchandise, but on the
whole a aplrit of economy seems to domi
nate and though the final rush may bring
the turnover up to a high level. It is likely
that numerous markets will show losses
from last year.
Weekly bank clearings were 6,424.578,000.
DEMAND FOR WOOL IS STEADY
Market Not Yet Affected by Government
Regulations.
BOSTON, Dec 21. The Commercial bul
letin will say tomorrow:
In spite of th latest Government regula
tion with regard to foreign wool, wilch will
give the Government an option on all Im
ported wool contracted for after December
15, and the threat of Congressional action
to control prices, the wool market has been
moderately active on mill account the past
week and prices have generally held firm.
Manufacturers find all the orders they
want to take as a rule and the sale of
heavyweight overcoatings for next year has
been sufficient to cause a withdrawal of
these goods from the market.

Coffee Fnturea More Active.
NEW YORK. Dec. 21. The market for
coffee futures was more active today, but
orders seemed to be pretty well divided and
the price movement was narrow. Prices
opened at a decline of 1 to 2 points under
scattered realization, attracted by the recent
advance, and there also seemed to be some
trade selling during the day, particularly
from New Orleans sources. As a large busi
ness waa reported In the cost- and freight
market late yesterday, this was attributed
to hedging. Offerings were absorbed by
further Liverpool and Ideal buying, however,
and the market closed net 1 point higher
to 1 point lower. March fluctuated between
7.50c and 7.48c and September between 7.95c
and 7.91c. December and January closed
