THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 27, 1917.
TRADING MAY CEASE
Grain Board Dealers Expect
Word From Washington.
OPERATIONS NOW SMALL
Ean Francisco Exchange Has Been
Asked by Food Administration,
to Stop All Dealings in. Bar
ley for Future Delivery.
Tt would occasion no surprise to the Port
land grain trsd If they wers called upon to
cease business on the Exchange. The Ban
Francisco dealers have been asked by the
Food Administration to stop trading In
barley for future delivery, and it Is thought
the same request may be made to the Ex
change here and also to the Seattle Ex
Change.
Business as conducted on the Portland
Board has met with no criticism, as this Is
to all Intents and purposes a cash market.
When the price of wheat- was fixed ths
board suspended operations entirely. In
order that there should be no obstacle to
the Administration's plans. Later trading
in coarse grains and mlllfeed was resumed,
but the latter product was subsequently
eliminated when feed prices were estab
lished. At present the members are trading
only In oats, barley and corn. Owing to
the time required to make deliveries on
Eastern cereals such .business cannot well
be on a strictly spot basis, and It Is not
seen how exception can be taken to such
practice. 'However, tf the Administration re
quests cessation of all exchange business,
the members of the institution will com
ply cheerfully.
The Ean Francisco trade has asked the
Food Administration for a modification of
Its request. Thte following letter has been
issued by the Grain Trade Association of
that city, by R. Volmer, chairman of the
committee on grain:
"We have been requested by the United
States Food Administration to cease all
trading in future barley options, but in an
endeavor to avoid such drastic action and
Also to assist in the liquidation of existing
contracts, we have passed the following res
lutlon, which will be submitted to the
Food Administration and which we hope
Will meet with their approval:
'Resolved, That until further notice,
members of this Grain Trade Association
hall confine all trading In . contracts of
barley for future delivery from this date to
end Including May 81, 1918, to the Decem
mer, 1917, and May, 1918. options. No mem
ber shall make any purchases of barley for
future delivery during the period stated,
except in liquidation of existing contracts.
No contract for future delivery shall be en
tered Into at a price In excess of S3 per
hundred weight.
'Every member shall register., on or be
fore noon of December 27, with the secre
tary of the Grain Trade Association the
number of every contract In his possession.' "

MOHAIR TRADING MAT BB RESUMED
Pressure for Wool Expected te Extend to
Goat Product.
A turn for the better soon In the Boston
mohair market Is looked for, according to
the Commercial Bulletin, which says:
The market for mohair here is still In ths
doldrums, although it would not be sur
prising to see the staple begin to move at
any time. The surprising thing is that It
has not moved to a, much greater extent
already, considering the tremendous pressure
n wool. Prices are still hardly more than
nominal. The TAM hair Is understood to
be practically all cleaned up In the country
at prices ranging from 47 to 62 or 53 cents,
the latter price for a very choice lot.
"Advices from Yorkshire arc to the effect
that the situation there is a very difficult
one on account of the shortage of supplies
and the scarcity of tonnage to fetch sup
plies from the Cape.
GRAHAM FLOCB MAY BE WANTED
Mills In This Territory May Be Asked for
Larger Supply.
The following bulletin has been issued by
T. B. Wilcox, chairman of the North Pa
cific Coast district, of the Food Adminis
tration? milling division:
, This division may be called upon to fur
nish considerable graham flour. 'The grade
f graham flour will be a regularly milled
whole wheat graham, not a blended flour.
In anticipation of being asked to supply
graham flour, we wish, te ascertain what
mills in this division ean furnish It. so that
we will have a list of these before us when
bids are asked for. Mills are -requested to
notify this office at once as to whelher or
not they can furnish this flour and to give
us their dally capacity of graham flour."

RAILS LEAD IN FALL
Announcement of Government
Control Is Anticipated.
DECLINES OF 1 TO 4 POINTS
Industrials, Utilities and Specialties
Also Suffer Foreign War Bonds
Forfeit Much of Recent Recov
ery. Liberty Issues Active.
NEW YORK, Deo. 26. Ralls led the post
hollday recession on the Stock Exchange, a
score of- those Issues declining 1 to 4 points,
with yet lower records for St: Paul pre
ferred at 6214 and Baltimore preferred and
common at 4814 and 3814, respectively.
The fresh reaction was popularly asso
ciated with indications that the Administra
tion is soon to announce Its policy of rail
road control. Congress to share in the re
sponsibility. An illustration of the caution with which
transportation companies are proceeding
was furnished by the Delaware A Hudson
directors. A regular dividend was declared
for the first quarter of 1918 Instead of
ordering payments for the full year, as was
long tbe custom. '
Industrials suffered almost as much as
rails, deriving their Impulse from sporadic
liquidation of equipments. For this no ex
planation was vouohsafed other than a pos
sible f urther revision of prices by the war
board.
Trading lapsed after the first hour, the
market coming to a standstill in the inter
mediate and later periods, except for a
weakening of utilities. Leaders made nom
inal rallies Just before the close, chiefly
Reading and Union Pacific. United States
Steel showing a net loss of two points at
8314. Sales amounted to 415,000 shares.
Foreign bonds forfeited much of their
resent recovery on the less favorable war
views presented by representative banking
interests. Liberty issues were active, the 4s
making a new minimum on the decline
from 97 to 96.70, the 314s holding at 98.60
to 98.22. Total sales, par value, aggregated
$4,650,000. United States bonds, old Issues,
were unchanged on call.

RECORD PRICES OF YEAR
Corn Market Hardens Because ot
Cold Weather Throughout West.
Offerings Are Scarce and
Consignments Are Small.
CHICAGO. Dec ' 26.-- Corn prices hard
ened today, owing more or less to the fact
that cold weather throughout the West -was
expected to continue for several days and
that railroad operations would be interfered
with. The market closed firm, c to He
net higher, with January $1.26 to $1.26
and May $1.24 to $1.25. Oats gained lc
to lc In provisions the outcome ranged
from 30c decline to a rise of 5 cents.
Although trade in corn was entirely of
a holiday character, buyers had a little ad
vantage from the outset. Offerings were
scarce and rural notices of consignments
lacked bulk. Prevalent low temperatures
seemed to be largely responsible, as the oar
supply showed but little Improvement. Any
decided upward swing in values, however
was checked by knowledge that the gen
eral cold and absence of moisture could not
escape having a favorable effect toward
curing the new crop.
Oats touched the highest prices yet this
season. Impetus for the upturn came chief
ly from signs of a revival of seaboard ship
ping demand.
Free selling by Western holders more than
offset In the provision market a show of
strength duo to falling off in arrivals of
hogs. Sales were ascribed In the main to a
desire to realize profits.
