Newspaper Page TextTHE MORXINCr OREGOXIAN. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1918. 21 WOOL AUCTION SHOW I . DECLINES I PRICES Many Withdrawals at First Government Sales. BIDS SUBMITTED TOO LOW Twenty-Five Per Cent of Territories orfered Held Back Sales Made at Par to 20 Per Cent Below. The Government has besun disposing of In wool holdings by auction, and during next two or three months will otter B25.000.000 pounds. It la probable that by March 1 the Government will be out ot the wool business entirely. Its present In teres In the market is only to unload Its Immense holdings, accumulated tor war pur poses. The opening auction sales at Boston were rot an entire success, from the viewpoint f producers, as the trend of values was decidedly downward and -many lots were withdrawn from sale, owing to. the bids being too low. The market's decline, how ever, should occasion no surprise, in view ef the pending release of the largest quan tity of wool ever collected In this country, and the very unsettled condition of the manufacturing and goods trade. At the opening sale on Wednesday the offerings were 10,000 bales of greasy Aus tralians, COO. 000 pounds of greasy' Capes, 8,000.000 pounds of South Americans and COO.OOO pounds of tops. The fine Australians sold 10 to 13 per cent off from the Govern ment issue price and the faulty Australians were withdrawn. Fifty per cent of the greasy Capes were withdrawn and the bal ance eold 80 per cent off. Of the 90 lots of South Americans offered, 60 were with drawn. At the second day's sale 1.000,000 pounds f domestio rieece and 9.000,000 pounds of territory wools were offered. Choice fine staple sold from par to 12 per cent off. Choice quarter-blood fleece was strong at the Government Issue price. Fine medium and quarter-bloods were 15 per cent off and Texas fine wools 20 per cent off. Total withdrawals amounted to 25 per cent of the domestics offered. At yesterday's auction the offerings were J.r.00.000 pounds of "grease pulled wools and 1.500.000 pounds of scoured wool In commenting on the manner of con ducting the sales at Boston the Commer cial Bulletin said: "The proposal that sales bo held by samples only rather than after examina tion in the bulk, at first sight, would seem to be an Impracticable way of holding such auctions but when one stops to think that Ihe wools which are being put up for auc tion have been valued by committees of the most experienced men in the wool trade of the country and that their values have been checked and rechecked, the situation appears In a different light, altogether. Indeed. It may be asserted that the -manufacturers have been accepting wool on these samples and the descriptions of the valuing committees right along and In compara tively few instances have insisted upon see ing the wools In bulk. It Is accepted as the fact that the mills will be safer in pur chasing their wools In this manner than they would be if they relied solely on the Judgment of their regular buyers." Charles H. Green. United States Wool Administrator and distributor here, has not yet been advised as to when or where the wools stored In Portland will be auctioned. IUTiS FOB BULK CORN HIGHER Oats are Weak and Barley Steady Local Board. Corn was firmer on the local board yes terday and bids were raised 50c 01. but no sales were made. Oate inclined to weak Bess and barley was steady. The auxiliary schooner Wergeland has arrived at San Francisco with 57.556 centals Australian wheat. The Food Administration Grain Corpora tion announces that until further notice. It Is not interested In offers of barley for ex port. Broomhatl cabled from Liverpool: "Corn conditions are Improving rapidly. Supply of feeding stuffs has been augmented by Increased offerings of milling offals, which have resulted from the reduced extraction of wheat in milling. Arrivals of corn re main moderate, but improvement is In sight. Fhtpments from Argentina are on a larger scale. South Africa continuea to ship lim ited amounts, but it la understood that there are still substantial quantities In that coun ry awaiting the necessary tonnage. As ton nage situation Improves we wilt see the ex ports tend toward enlargement. India Beneficial rains have fallen in Cen tral India. Central and United Provinces. Bombay and Hyderabad. It Is hoped this precipitation will improve crop conditions, as drouth was prevalent In tho sections where the rains felL" Terminal receipts in cars were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat.

Federal Food Administrator W. K. Newell yesterday announced the following amend ments to the special regulations governing manufacturers, dealers, brokers and com mission merchants In butter, these amend ments having been promulgated at Wash ington on December 12: Utile. - Manufacturers' margins: The REPEAT ORDERS mean that we have given satisfaction, otherwise, why should the HAWLEY PULP & PAPER COMPANY of Oregon City award us 12 contracts dur ing the past 8 years? ASK THEM Gasco Building. Established 1904. manufacturer of butter shall not sell butter at an advance over the cost of butterfat necessary to produce a pound of butter of more than S cents per pound of butter, ex cept on sales through branch houses or sales to retailers In less than car lots, as hereinafter provided. Example: If tho cost of butterfat. as defined below. Is SO cents per pound and eight pounds of but terfat are necessary to produce 10 pounds of butter, "tho cost of butterfat necessary to produce the butter" would be 40 cents per pound of butter and tho maximum sell ing price for manufacturers, as above pro vided, would be 45 cents per pound. Cost of butterfat defined The cost of butterfat necessary to produce a pound of butter shall Include (1 the actual price paid to the producers ef butterfat. (2) the actual cost of station buying labor, or com mission, and all other buying expenses, but In no case shall the manufacturer pay more than Z cents per pound butterfat for such labor, commissions and all other buying ex penses, except that the manufacturer la permitted to exceed said 36 cents maxl- , ,,,. ,.,, ., , ,,, mum provided that the amount by which the maximum Is exceeded shall bo deducted from manufacturers' margin; (8) the actual transportation expenses for carrying cream to the factory door. The selling price shall meaa tho selling price t. o. b. factory door. Dealer in butterfat to receive no more than producer under same circumstances The manufacturer shall not pay to any dealer in butterfat a greater price than he pays to the producer who la a direct ship per performing similar service, and In no case shall the price paid by tho manufac turer to tho dealer exceed 2 cents per pound butterfat above the price paid by the dealer to the producer of butterfat. The Food Administration does not recog nize 8 cents per pound of butterfat as a rormal, reasonable cost of manufacture. This is a maximum margin to cover the most expensive legitimate method of opera tion and to provide for tho risks of fluctu ating markets. Quality of Export Fkm. The following bulletin was Issued to mil lers by H. M. Houser, zonal agent of tho cereal division of the Grain Corporation: "For your Information, the United King dom has now reduced its permissible flour milling extraction to 71 per cent on home grown wheat, and on other wheat In pro portion, placing the mills there oa prac tically the pre-war milling basis. Under these conditions. It Is going to be necessary that mills use every care in milling, if they are to continue to hold a high position in European markets." Potatoes and Onions Quiet. Tho potato market was weak with most Jobbing sales of Burbanka at $1.50 1.65. The country was quiet. Four cars were shipped- to Stockton and two to Bohemia. There was a moderate trade In- onions with prices unchanged. Bank Cleartaura. Bank clearings of tho Northwestern cities yesterday ware as follows: Clearings. Balances.

Figures compiled by the Bureau of Mar kets show material increases In the num ber of stock and feeder cattle shipped from 26 markets in 1917 and 1813 as compared with the number shlDned from th, uma markets in 1010. The shipments from these ' markets during the first 11 months of 1818, however, showed a decrease of 139.044. or 3.3 per cent as com Dared with the first 11 months ot 1917, but an increase of 16. a per crnt over ine jvio snlproenls. The most noticeable Increase In 1918 as compared with 1917 wa durlnc November, yet the ship ments during -November, litis, were 53 per cent greater than the shipments for Novem ber, 1918. March, April, May and August shipments In- 1918 showed an Increase as compared with shipments during the same months la 1917. It will bo noted that ap proximately 40 per cent of the feeder cattle go to the feed lots during September, Octo ber and November, at which time more cat tle are put on teed than the other sevea months of the year. The lightest movement occurs during January, February and July, at which time only 15 per cent of tho total feeder stock goes back to farms and feed lots.

POORER WOOLS ARE NEGLECTED Line Staple Manufacturers Take Best Clips. BOSTON. Dee, 20. The Commercial Bul letin tomorrow will say: everything In the wool trade has been subordinated to the Government wool auc tions. The first sale of foreign wools showed a desire on the manufacturers' part for the best fine stapled wools and alao for the best medium wools, the former being off about 5 per cent for Australian and the best me dium South American wools about 10 per cent off from Government issue prlcea. The second day's sale was entirely of domestic wools. Quarter-blood wools were keenly sought, but In light supply, and brought about issue prices on the average. Three eighths . staple wools were off 10 and half blood 10 to 15 from issue prices. Fine and fine medium staples territories were off 12 to 15 and fine and medium clothing wools 15 to 20 per cent from issue prices. Dealers ougnt very uttle. Poor wools were neglected and withdrawals heavy. The goods auctions have shown strength for best fabrics this week and the manu facturers are considered to bo figuring for Immediate business rather than for forward business. The foreign markets report little change. DECLINING PRICES CHECK TRADE Disposition Is to Reduce Quotations In Order to Move Goods. NEW TORK. Dee. 20. Bradstreef s tomor row will say: Animation flowing from holiday buying sharply contrasts with the slow movements evidenced In a wholesale line, with the ef fects of eoncellatlons. with downsrd revi sions of some prices, and with uncertainty created either by the divergent vlws as to the future expressed by prominent person ages or by concern over the fact that the Wt.

Inventorying is under way, traveling sales men are in for the holidays, until lot-filling orders conveyed by mall are the rule, and In eases where unexpectedly large stocks have been revealed, the policy la to clear decks. In fact, the general attitude as to manufactured goods Is to reduce prices In order to hasten readjustments and make a market. Auction sales ef wool conducted by the Government have disclosed a strong demand and good prices for desirable materials, but low-grade stuff seemed to go begging for takers, and offerings of wool similarly made brought satisfactory prices for men's ma terial while showing weakness In women's goods, the products going to Jobbers rather than to manufacturers. Weekly bank clearings were $5, 837.874, 000. LOCAL APPLE PRICES ARE STEADY Markets Are Firm at Northwestern Shipping FolnU.

STOCK FALL IS UNCHECKED PRICES DECLINE FOR lUgTll SUCCESSIVE SESSION. Ralls, Shippings, Coppers and Trini ties Arc Chief Elements or "Weakness; Bonds HeaTy. NEW YORK. Dec 20. Stocks recorded their fifth successive setback of the week today, declines being resumed if.tr an Ir regular opening in whlcn a few leaders sbowed temporary strength, probably on short covering. The additional liquidation end bearish ag gression were attributed to Increasing signs or dissatisfaction, more particularly as af fecting the railroads and general industries. Tols was exemplified by Mr. McAduo's atti tude toward the transportations, and reports of fresh cancellations of war contracts and cuts In commodity prices. Another reason was provided by the Im plied request of the Treasury Department for an indefinite continuance of restricted money conditions, although call funds were " ,rer upply at a low as 3 per cent. Renewal of heavy selling- of liberty bonds on a scale approximating yesterday's enor mous turnover with the fourth 4 Ms at the new low quotation of 94.50 was not cal culated to allay apprehension, the first 4s incidentally making a new minimum for the year at 92.90. The one encouraging note was sounded' by the sale to a banking syndicate of $50,000,000 Pennsylvania Railroad 5 per cent bonds, and the speedy absorption of that Issue at a large oversubscription. This Is ths first large financial undertaking by private bankers since the close of the war and bespeaks a sound investment situation. Ralls, shippings, utilities snd copper were the chief elements of heaviness, though rallying quite substantially toward the close. Sales amounted to 515,000 shares. Convertible railroad bonds and tractions eased 1 to 2 points, but Internationale were steady and more active. Total sales par value, aggregated $4,400,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING) STOCK QUOTATIONS. T.a .4 Kales.

APPLE CROP MOVES EARLY SEVENTY PER CENT SHIPPED FROM NORTHWEST. Combined Production of Oregon, Washington and Idabo Placed at 20,000 Carloads. The Bureau of Crop Estimates. Department of Acrlculture, through its fruit crop spe cialists. Issues the followin estimate of the commercial apple crop for 191S: The total crop of the United States is now estimated at 25.404.500 barrels as compared with 22.&42.000 barrels in ltfl7. an increase of about 13 per cent. The production from barreled apple states Is 18.S01.50O barrels, as compared with 13,70.000 In 1017, an in crease of 31 per cent. The boxed apple crop Is estimated at 21.309.000 boxes, as compared with 25.680,000 boxes in 1917, or a decrease of 17 per cent. The outstanding feature in the apple sit uation Is the fact that the crop has moved early to market. The Bureau ef Markets' report on storage holdings released December 11, places storage holdings December 1 prac tically the same as last year. Final reports from the -boxed apple states indicate that the Western boxed production will exceed the estimate issued a month ago by over 1000 cars. The combined pro duction of Washington. Oregon and Idaho Is now estimated at 20,000 cars of 750 boxes each, of which approximately 70 p?r cent had moved by December 7. The 1U17 pro duction for these three states was 24,(H0 cars. The improvement over lavt month Is due to the material increase In the. estimate for the Wena tehee crop and slight increase at Hood River, and Watsonvllle. Cal. Oregon On account of large size of ap ples, the Hood River Valley crop Is proving larger than anticipated. The total move ment from this county for 191S will approxi mate a million and a half boxes as com pared with about I.00O.0OO boxes In 1817. about 12.0 cars had moved by December 1. leaving 530 cars to be shipped after that date. Newtowni and Rpltzenbergs, the prin cipal varieties, were of fine size and qual ity. Other regions in Oregon proved, disap pointing. The Mllton-Freewater crop is es timated at 175 cars, as compared with 400 last year. The Western Oregon crop was very light, probably cot over half of last year's TOO cars, this including the Rogue River Valley. Washlngtom Production for Washington Is now estimated at 1 7.1 SO cars of 756 boxen each, as compared with 13.500 cars in IS 17. Nearly 14.000 cars had been moved from the state by December 7. With the favorable shipping conditions prevailing, it Is expect ed that the balance of the crop will move quickly and at good prices. Storage facili ties have been ample throughout ail the im portant regions, and the by-products plants have utilized the culls and wormy frulc As usual, the Wenatchee crop is overrunning all earlier estimates by st least 1000 cars. The movement from North Central Washington la now estimated at about 840O eara. or near ly as much as last year. About 1500 cars are yet to be shipped. The Increase at the end of the season was due to the overrunning of estimates by the very heavy and excel lent quality Wtnesap crop. Over a third of the shipments were Wincsaps. The entire Yakima Valley Is estimated at 7600 cars, as compared with 85jO cars last year. The Yakima crop is turning out In quantity about as expected. There remain about 1500 cars yet to be shipped. The crop from the Spo kane district was about S.0 cars, as com pared with 40O last year. Walla Wail a dis trict fell down badly with only about 175 cars. Idaho Idaho Is largely responsible for the shortage In the boxed apple crop, as com pared with last year. The total move ment was only about 425 cars, as compared with.SSOO cars last year. Lewlston district with 173 cars. Twin Falls with lOO and the Payette-Boise region with 150 cars account for this year's crop. Coffee Situation rnrhaaged. NEW YORK. Dec 20.
