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withdrawn from sale, owing to.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were withdrawn.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greasy Capes were withdrawn and the bal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.

Local Board.
Corn was firmer on the local board yes
terday and bids were raised 50c 01. but

Bess and barley was steady.
The auxiliary schooner Wergeland has

The Food Administration Grain Corpora
tion announces that until further notice. It
Is not interested In offers of barley for ex

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

Special Regulations Are Announced by Food
Administration.
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

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.

CATTLE GO TO FEED LOTS!
INCREASED MOVEMENT IN PAST
TWO TEARS.
Heaviest Shipments Are Boring
Months of September, October
and November.
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.

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.

Government has large supplies of unused ma
terials to market.
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.

"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.

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. Today's cables
reported no change In the coffee market
at Rio, but Santos spots were lOO reis higher
and future 75 to 1 M) mm higher. Re
ceipts at the two Brazilian ports were 41.OO0

Only small lots of coffee are availnble in
