THE MORNING OREGOXIAX. FRIDAY. MARCH 26, 1920 i . i 1 .-I it GRA1PJ BAG MARKET IS Oil UP GRADE California Rains Have Strong Effect on Prices. LOCAL BIDS ARE ADVANCED Country Still Backward in Taking Hold Wheat Is Sold for Shipment to East. The grain haff market Is strong and fcleher with carlots now quoted at lSVi cents at coast points. The market derives much of Its rtrenfcth from the improved crop situation in California, whore the re cent hfavy rains have been of jrreat bene fiL At the Merchants' Exchange there was a- bid of IS cents for l.ono.000 Cal cutta bags, buyers July, an advance of k crt over the previous day's bid. As yet there has been no increase of country buying. Evidence of the Improved California crop situation was seen in the slump in barley In the San Francisco market yes terday where, although only two opefators control the destiny of the barley market, prices fell about $2 .50 a ton, August sell ing at 12.52 a cental, and December at S2..WA. On the local board blue barley bids were rallied 2ri'30 cents and feed barley was down AOcftfl. At Chicago, the Aiay barley option closed Z3 cents lower at Jl 44'- a bushel. Corn and oats were also weaker at the Merchants Exchange. April and May corn were down Jl and oats 30c ?i One hundred tons of corn, March shipment, sold at Jtifi. The wheat market was firmer at all points. Minneapolis w ired a 10-cent ad vance with No. t dark northern spring at 13.10, equal to a tiO-eent premium here on Marquis. I. oral mill buyers, however, quoted only t."( rents on this grade. Turkey was heM at 3.Va -JO cents and bluestem at 60 c"nts. The premium nn soft wheat ranged from 17 to li cents. Additional wheat tales for eatern account w ere re ported. The forecast for the middle western grain belt was for unsettled weather today with rain or snow, and higher tempera tures in the I'aliotas.

NEW YORK, March 25. Business on the stock exchange today was characterized by intervals of el t re me dullness and Ir regular price changes, trading evidently being influenced by yesterday's sharp flurry in money. Greatest activity was manifested in the final hour. Call loans opened and renewed at per cent, a rise of 2 per cent over the recent initial rate, advancing later to 12 per cent, or 2 per cent under yesterday : maximum. Time money was quotably un altered. Foreign exchange offered some couragement to the long account, the Brit ish rate advancing to $3.86 for demand bills, representing the high mark so far this year. Allied exchanges were irregular. General Motors maintained its reputa tion as an uncertain quantity, an early gain of nine points being followed by a re action of IS and a rally of 25. the final price of 384 representing a net gain of is points. Stutz Motor continued to move against the shorts, advancing to 282, a new high record, and a gain of 34 points, while Stromberg Carbureter, controlled by Stutz interest, snot up 18 points to 94. also new maximum. Sales 1.275.000 shares. Trading in bonds was relatively HeM, most of the liberty issues and both classes or victory notes easing moderately. Rail road and industrial bonds also made nom inal recessions. Total sales, par value, $11,200,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Last DRY .OOI)S JOHIEKK.S MAKE P KICKS New lMot:ttionH show Little Change in Situation. N' piices named on many lines of goods ly jobbers this week show little change in t lie ituation. While some gools are lightly lower, oilit-rs arc advanced in about the same proportion. Some gmghiiins, prints, etc.. are still being sold at value, but t here is less of the specu lative to he noted in the attitude of either buyer or seller, says the Dry Goods Econ omist. Because of t he s-old-up conditions in sonie lines, preparations of road men for their April trips are not as far advanced as iiMia!. ' In the primary markets for fbxtiles the week has shown a somewhat stronger tone, and with it a considerable revival of bullish sentiment. With the markets so scn.-uhcly primed for a reaction from the doubt and dullness of the last six weeks r so. a lively start to the spring season is quite likely to n-vive .potulaiivc activ ity on a larg'' scale. This would result In a further temporary advance of prices and increase the riskiness of the hole situation. Under the circumstances the continued exercise of prudent buying is most emphatically to be r-comm?nded. I.OIAL EGG MARKET IS 1IKMER, Buyers Offer 35 tenU Delivered for Sat urday's ArrnaW. The best - posted egg dealers are of the opinion that the market will go no lowrr this season. As is usu.-il y the case w hen storing becirfv. t he market has undergone a reaction, and prices ar firm and slightly higher. A hid of 35 cents delivered or Saturday's receipts was made by one of the largest firms yesterday. There is de mand from the middle west as well as the east, and this, with the active storing, absorbs the larger receipts. Butter was steady with a good local demand for cubes at unchanged prices. "Poultry was in small supply and very firm.' Heavy hens arc quoted at 37 cents, light bens at 34 ir."3 cents, heavy sprinKS at 33 '4' 3 4 cents, and light springs at 40 cents. Dressed meats are unchanged. Onions and otaioes Advancing. Tho onion markei is very firm and still advancing. Growers are now obtaining $5.75 and $C for their best stock. Potatoes are also tending upward and deals in the country as high as $5.25 were reported. Jobbing prices were not changed. The street was liberally supplied with asparagus, rhubarb and peas, but because of tho cool weather the demand was not active. Small Quantity of Flour Bought. The United States grain corporation an nounces It has purchased this week at various points throughout the United States about 190,000 barrels of wheat flour on the basis of prices averaging $10.6$ a barrel F. O. B. Baltimore and $10 a barrel Y. O. B. Pacific coast points. Torpfntioe Is Higher. An advance of 8c a gallon on turpentine nas announced yesterday. Cases are now quoted at $2.4S and tanks at $2.33 a gallon.

Portland: 66.no 63.75 basis, $2.20 63.00 per M-nt Itatings for Hard Kcci jiriiiR and Durum Arc Xot Satisfactory. Portland grain men are interested In tile pulilic hearing at Chicago on April 2 cn federal wheat grades. A delegation recently visited Washington and notified the secretary of agriculture that there is dissatisfaction in tho central northwest with the present grades for hard red spring and durum wheats and requested that Ihey he changed. Their recom mendations in substance were as follows: 1. Substitute "humpback" as a sub class for "red spring," and make the def inition of the sub-class "humpback" in the federal standards read as follows: "This sub-class shall include wheat of the class hard red spring, consisting of more than lo per centum of lie variety hump Lack." This would necessitate changing the definition of tho sub-class "northern spring" so as to read as follows: "This sub-class shall include wheat of the class hard red spring and consisting of less than 75 per centum of dark, hard and vitreous kernels. This sub-class shall not include more than 10 per cent of wheat of the variety humpback." 2. In place of tho requirement In all of the No. 1 grades in the hard red spring and durum classes that the wheat in grado No. 1 shall be "bright," provide that the wheat in all of these No. 1 grades shall be of "good color." 3. Make the maximum percentage of moisture allowed in all grades from one to four, inclusive, in the hard red spring and durum classes 15 per centum, and pro vide that all wheat in these classes hav ing more than 15 per centum moisture rhall grade sample grade, making a regu lation that all licensed grain inspectors in grading tho wheat in these two classes shall state tho exact percentage of mois ture on the grain inspection certificates when it exceeds 15 per centum. As an alternative for the foregoing make the 15 per centum limit apply only to the first three grades. No. t. No. 2 and No. .1, and let tho limit remain at 16 per centum for No. 4 and No. 5 as It is now In the federal grades. L'nder this afternative, also, make the regulation requiring the Inspectors to show tne exact moisture content on their certificates when over l. per centum. 4. Change the requirement with re spect to wheats of other classes in grade No. 1 In all sub-classes of hard red spring wheat so that the present limit of 5 per centum on the total wheats of other classes will include durum wheat, and so that the special limitation of 2 per centum shall apply only to the common white and white club wheats, leaving the lower grades as they are now. Make no change in the al lowance for wheats of other classes In grade No. 1 In the three sub-classes of durum wheat. 5. Increase the allowance for total for eign material other than dockage in each of the grades from No. 1 to No. 5, Inclus ive, in th,e hard red spring and durum classes so as to permit the addition of 1 per centum of rye In each of these grades but not to complicate the grading re quirement. 6. Reduce the present Jlmlt for test weight per bushel for each grade In hard red spring wheat by one pound. At the Chicago hearing all grain men In terested are expected to present their views as to whether the proposals submitted by the delegation should be adopted; whether corresponding changes should be made In other classes of wheat; whether. In view of the requirement of the three months' advance notice, it Is practicable to make changes applicable lo the 1920 crop; and whether changes should be' made until after the present standards have been test ed without fixed price conditions.

Easiness in Argentine j freight rates has unsettled the Liverpool future market and prices there today were) iiuoiea i cents jower. An important lac tor was the decline of 50 cents to $1 in hogs at tho yards coming at a time when the trade in general were just beginning to- take cognizance of the fact that corn has advanced to a prohibitive feeding price. We see no reason to alter our opinion that the recent advance was some what overextended and that the attrac tiveness of July to country hedges will make the short side on bulges preferable. Oats Liquidation was Induced by the weakness in corn and the early advance was soon erased. There was little change In the news, spot offerings being in good demand at yesterday's basis, while re ceipts were comparatively light and down state advices claimed outside markets overbidding Chicago. It is likely that the unsettlement in corn will exert a depress ing influence on oats. Leading futures ranged as follows: CORN. Open. High. Low. Close.

Provisions were depressed. The Chicago market letter received yes terday by Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland said: Corn Frequent rallies brought out heavy realizing sales and shortly after midday the market turned weak with the close only fractionally higher than bottom prices. The bears seemed to have more confidence Id their position and their ideas were sub stantiated by the general character of news. There was evidence down state of a better car supply and in view of the anxiety to sell, because of the nearness of the germinating season, there is reason to Ltiit-u liiU the movement from ootv on LAW VIOLATION ALLEGED Warrant Issued for A.
