Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, APRIT, 2, 1920 RESILES OF WHEAT MAY BE CANCELLED Corporation's Plan to Aid Mills in Car Shortage. OFFER GOOD FOR WEEK Flour Men in Other Sections Than Northwest Chiefly Concerned In l'lan Announced. , Th grain corporation announces a plan to take back wheat sold to mills in cases where the mills arrangements have been disarranged hy car shortage. The plan does not particularly concern mills in this territory, however. Furthermore, most of them bought their stocks at much lower prices than those now ruling and any sur plus could be disposed of In the open market to better adrantage then by turn ing It over to tho government. The grair corporation's bulletin follows: "The grain corporation recognize? Mat, In respect to some mills, their plans for using In their current business the .wheat bought from tho grain corporation on Ha resale offers In effect since last December have been disarranged by the inadequacy of the transportation facilities of the coun try. The inability of the railroad to sup ply cars needed and for which orders have been long outstanding has produced a situation for which the grain corporation Is not responsible, but a situation In which the grain corporation desires to do what It can to offset the dislocation of plans based on such mill purchase! being avail able in the ordinary course of business and which has proved not attainable. The grain corporation will, therefore, at any time during the week of April 5 to April 10, inclusive, stand ready, in respect t to wheat which it has sold for bona fide milling, to take back from such present owners any portion of such mill pur chases on the following terms: "A to wheat sold to be placed f. o. b. ears by the grain corporation, the delivery of which has not yet been possible, the grain corporation will cancel the original sales as of the dates and at the original J prices without prejudice to either buyer or seller for accrued charges or differences of any kind. "That in respect to warehouse receipts originally delivered by the grain corpora tion to millers or the representatives of millers for bona' fide milling use, the grain corporation will cancel the original sales and will take back such original ware house receipts as were delivered on such sales, at the original price paid the grain corporation and as reimbursement for ex penses accrued, meantime, will allow the addition to the grain corporation resale price which has accrued since originat sale, but deducting accrued storage follow! lng such warehouse receipts. 'Any cancellation of wheat previously old which this offer may result in re turning to the grain corporation will be immediately ready for resale again (or bona fide milling to other mills who may desire to assume such purchases and at the regular resale prTce basis of the grain cor poration, which up to April IS will be 22c In store above the grain corporation buying basts in each market. The grain corporation retains the right to deliver such new sales In the form of warehouse receipts, for which thereafter it assumes no responsi bility, or in the form of contracts to put wheat f. b. cars at lo more, and for the furnishing of which cars It assumes no responsibility nor extends any guarantee, and on such f. o. b. sales the grain cor poration will add 1c each ten days, repre senting a reimbursement of carrying charges while endeavoring to obtain neces- sary cars to load. (Other conditions of resale the same as contained in our resale bulletin of November 8, 1919.) "On April 12 each vice-president will allot new applicants, if any, such wheat as may be taken back under this offer." PREMIUMS ON WHEAT ARE STRONG Business Is Worked In Club at 30 Cents; Coarse Graitis r'lrm. The wheat market continued strong. Borne business was done In soft wheat at 20 cents premium. The quotation from Minneapolis equaled 05 cnts for hard wheat here. Coarse grains were firm. At the Mer chants' Exchange 100 tons of corn for April shipment sold at $65.50, an advance of 0 cents. Oats bids ranged from un changed ta $1 higher. With the other grain exchanges of the ountry, the local board will be closed today and Saturday. Kecelpts of wheat at Portland in March were 1087 cars, against 378 cars in the same month last year. March receipts at Portland, Seattle and Tacoma, in cars, compared as follows:- Wlieat.Barley.Oats.Flour.Hay Portland ....10S7 1 8 3S7' 444 Seattle 495 4 41 1U3 42 Tacoma 7X4 5 20 592 72 Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat.

There was a wide range of buying prices In tho egg market. With a fight on be tween two local firms, bids of 38 cents were made for country shipments. Other firms were offering 37 cents and .still others reported they were getting eggs freely at their bid of 36 cents. In the jobbing market there were sales at 3839 cents, case count, while 40 cents was asked for candled ranch and 42 cents for se'ects. The butler market was weak. Prints went out at the new reduced price. Cube sellers asked 60 cents, but not much busi ness was reported. Poultry and dressed meats were un changed. HIGH I'BICK CHECKS POTATO TRADE bonie Dealers Believe Market Has Now Reached Top. Local handlers of potatoes report very few jobbing sales at present, because of the high uricea asked along the street. Oregons are held at $6.507 and Yaklmas at $7 QJ7.50. ' While certain firms are waging an en ergetic bull campaign and predicting a 10-cent market before the season is over, others exprees the opinion that the mar ket has reached the top and that a sur rimm awaits those who are holding their toc'k for a higher price. SIXTY-DAT LIMIT IS A NN (JLLEO Mills Beleased by Grain Corporation From Former Obligation, Flour millers in agreement with the grain corporation have boen advised as follows: 'Plea.-e take notice that in respect to all sales of flour evidenced by contracts executed on or after April, 1920, tho T;nttd acum gia. oorporaxien Mlcaaea s ou from any obligation to conform to, er abldo, bji that part o scctign j ct your agreement form 1583-B) with the United States firaln corporation, which provides: "The miller shall not make, or have outstanding at any time, any contract for the sale of wheat products except such contract as requires shipment or delivery within 60 days after the date of sale, which. date shall be truly .stated in the contract, provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to contracts with the federal, state or municipal gov ernments, and provided further that no contract shall be made for shipment or de livery beyond June 30. 1920, except in connection with the exercise by the miller of privileges given by section 11 hereof."

The Easter re cess and the attitude of the stock, ex change authorities towards pools, as sus- primarily responsible tor today:s dull and hesitant market. 1 Traders derived some encouragement from the comparative ease of call money, which opened at 8 per cent and held at that quotation until the final hour when Delated borrowing forced the price to 10 per cent. This was offset, however, by the greater scarcity of time money, which was quotably unchanged, but actually un obtainable, except for moderate amounts. Dealings in the leading foreign exchange remittances were unusually light, the Lon don quotation rising slightly over yester day's best, with nominal recoveries In French and Italian bills. Half a score of Issues made up the bulk of the small turnover. Crucible Stee! and General Motors being the most prominent of the recent favorites. Crucible fluctu ated within a lu-point radius and closed at a loss of 1 "4 points. General Motors was less erratic, closing well toward its bent quotation at a gain of 56. Kaiis and shipping were dull but main ly higher. Sales were BOO.O00 shares. Ftonds were heavy, especially high grade rails, including Pennsylvania Gs and 4Mb. Liberty 3s also yielded, but foreign is sues, notably United Kingdoms of l!:iT, hardened. Sales, par value. $12,525,000. Old United States bonds unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

Kvening Cp Trades In Coffee. NEW YORK, April 1. The market for coffee futures opened unchanged to 4 points lower under scattering liquidation of December, but soon steadied on cover ing and a little trade buying, chiefly in qujet, but there was a little flurry ot business late in the afternoon when July sold up to 14.7Sc and December to 14.4Sc, or about 5 to ft points net higher. The close was about the best point of the day on active positions, with prices net un changed to 10 points higher.

CHICAGO, April 1. Bullish estimates regarding winter wheat did a good deal today to bring about sharp new upturns In the price of corn. The market closed strong. 2c to 3-c net higher. May $1.61 to $1.61 Vi. and July $1.54 to $1.54. Oats gained c to 2c. In pro visions, the outcome varied from 5c de cline to 50c advance. Fresh strength in the corn market de veloped simultaneously with the an nouncement that a leading expert figured the winter wheat crop condition as the lowest at this date In morse than 10 years, barring a single exception. Besides his report suggested that the consequent abandonment of m'Inter wheat fields in 1920 would reach tho Immense total of 5.000,000 acres. Heavy buying took place. July and September deliveries touched the highest point yet this season. Oats followed corn upward. May and July oats reached a new high level for the season. Provisions averaged higher. The Chicago market letter received yes terday 6y Overbeck & Cooke company of fontanel saia: Corn Light receipts, a higher spot mar ket and further export bids for wheat and rye combined to establish futures at new high level on the crop. Out side cash markets were correspondingly strong and down state points claimed oth ers overbidding Chicago. The poor ship ping outlet is of no consequence as price making factor as the local indus trial demand Is taking good care of ar rivals. The Argentine exportable surplus of old and new crop corn was estimated todsv by the recognized authority at 200, 04X1,000 bushels, a gigantic lot but unim portant as far as we are concerned. The corn situation is a domestic at fair that is being governed 'by distribution. There is no doubt but that the producer is im bued with the high price, but it is a ques tion whether he will be able to secure the previous level when the commercial demand becomes less urgent and the sur plus in the country begins to move greater volume. Oats Strength in the fash market, as well as in' other grains, stimulated more aggressive buying of oats futures, espe cially the nearby and new high levels were recorded. The lagging tendency in deferred months was due to indications of a gradual increase in the acreage being sown. Shipping sales were 75.000 bushels and an increase in export clearances from the seaboard created the belief that con gestion at the ports is about to De re lieved.
