WHEAT, OATS, RYE STRONG Bluestem Sold by Local Dealers at Premium of $1.05 Over Gov ernment Basic Price. The upward trend of grain prices con tinues as supplies of wheat, oats and rye ar absorbed by the larger domestic con sumption and the growing requirements of Burope. Sales of bluestem wheat were reported yesterday by local dealers at a premium of $1.05 over the basic price. This is the highest price at which wheat Is ever known to have been sold here. A premium of 3 cents on club was quoted by sellers. At Minneapolis, millers' buying advanced the price of spring wheat to $3 73 (& 3.85 a bushel, according to a wire from that city. There were no sales of coarse grain n the local board, but corn and oats were firm with bids 25(30 cents higher than Monday. Offers for barley were 25f50 cents lower. larger foreign grain crops next season are In sight, according to Broomhall's cabled summary, which follows: Western and Central Europe With favorable weather over this section and attltional sowing of grain, economy is being effected In cattle feeding. Italy Weather has favored the prepa ration of the new crops and seedings con tinue favorably. Recently, wheat sow ing has been backward, but the turn of the good weather hastened to stimulate fur ther progress In planting. The whcaf crop Just harvested turned out much larger than anticipated, in fact the in crease Is generally believed to be about 8,00.000 bushels more than anticipated. India Despite dryness in the northwest provinces, the general argicultural out . look In this country remains favorable for the new wheat and oil seed crops. Pre dictions are being freely made that this year's crop of wheat will equal the pre war average, approximately 360,000,900 bushels. Terminal receipts, in cars, were re- i ported by the Merchants' Exchange as i follows: I Portland Wheat.Barley.Klour.Oats. Hay. Tuesday , 1M - 11 ....

Th significant feature of today's stock market was the reaction which aet In on publication of the address of Governor Harding of ths federal reserve board, at Washington, to leading banker of the country, advising reduction of "unessential loans." Liquidation was not disorderly in any Instance, but the rapidity with which lead ing shares fell 2 to 5 points and specialties 3 to nearly 10, lndlcred that the market remains extremely sensitive to monetary conditions. There was again a dearth of time money, but call money or demand loans, which opened In free supply at 8 per cent, the lowest Initial quotation since the Novem ber setback, fell to 6 per cent later, de spite the warnings of the news from Wash ington. Kails were the only Important shares to hold their ground, but shippings, steels, nils, motors and their subsidiaries and high-priced specialties, notably American Woolen, yielded easily.
