TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL, 7, 1920 23 EXPORT FLOOR HELD JO BE TOO CHEAP Millers Say Price Does Not Reflect Wheat Market. PROTEST IS IN PROSPECT Future of Milling Industry Dis cussed by Manufacturers of Oregon and Washington. The flour millers of the Pacific north west do not look with much favor on the effort of the grain corporation to hold down the .price of exDort flour while the price of heat la steadily rising. About 35 millers members of the North Pacific Miller association, met In a conference at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday morning to discuss the matter. The grain corporation Insists on paying only $10 f. a. a., or $9.90 track for export flour, whereas the premium on soft wheat has now reached SO cents a bushel over the government basic price. The millers have decided hereafter to offer the government flour at a higher price and if it Is not ac cepted they may make a formal protest to the corporation. There was a general discussion of the future of the flour industry, particularly ' the effect of the giving up of control of wheat by the grain corporation and the bearing it will have on the wheat market and flour prices. The millers also diseased In detail the minimum carlot question and it was the opinion there was no longer reason for holding the minimum capacity at 60,000 pounds, to which it was raised by the railroad administration and later contin Bed to September 1 by the interstate com merce commission. This action. It was asserted, works a great hardship on the small buyer of flour. jnXI.RO' IS TWO DOLLARS HIGHER Demand From Middle West Responsible for Advance In Market Here, The eastern wheat market was off about 30 cents yesterday, but there were no changes In the premiums quoted in this section. At the Merchants Exchange corn bids were the same as Monday. Offers for oats ranged from unchanged to $1 higher. No barley bids were posted. The San Fran . Cisco. barley market was higher, with sales of May at $:!.20. August at $2.65 and De cember at $-'.62. May barley at Chicago closed 1 cents lower, at $1.53. Local mills quoted millrun $2 higher at $43 a ton. The advance Is due to the keen demand from the middle west mill feed. Large shipments are b made from the interior to eastern point and this has cut down materially the supply needed here. The hay market was firm with a good demand. Stocks in the valley have been cleaned up closely by the heavy Callfor- nia buying. Shipments of Oregon hay to California have amounted to 5000 to 6000 tons. Terminal receipts, in cars, were report' ed by the Merchants' Exchange as follows . Wheat.Barley.Flour.Oats Hay. Tear ago 3 Season to date.T.'S? Tear ago 6808 Tacoma.. Mon "3 " Tear ago fl!

Steels and Railway Equipments Feature Dealings at Gain of One to Seven Points. NEW YORK. April 6. Liberal offerings of call money at 6 per cent, the lowest initial and renewal rate In six weeks, fur nished the chief incentive -for today's fairly active and strong stock market. There was cumulative evidence also of a slight easing of time money, interior banks witn local reserves making short term loans here at alight concessions from maximum quotations of the past fortnight. Foreign exchange was not a factor, remittances to London recording a further reaction from yesterday's substantial rally, while francs were heavy and lire ex ceeded all previous points of discount at 20.80 to the dollar. Steels and railway equipments bulked large in the day's diversified dealings, at extreme gains of 1 to 7 points. Ralls were more active Jhan usual. Vari ous miscellaneous issues and utilities reg istered variable advances, notably textiles, chemicals and utilities. Sales 1,175,000 shares. Buying of coppers was due to con tinued improvement of trade conditions' rumors that negotiations are under way of extensive sales to foreign interests under the auspices of an American credit organization.

The crop situation In England and France is cabled by Broomhall as follows: United Kingdom Rains have fallen over a wide area. The season is now prac tically one month ahead of normal, due to the , very mild weather which has pre vailed, but owing to the rainy and warm weather the winter wheat crop In some sections is spotted. The sowings of spring wheat so far have been very small. France Weather has now turned fine, arter rather heavy rains, which were dis tributed over a fairly wide area. The appearance of the growing wheat crop can be considered good and all crops In gen eral are now doing well. Spring sowings of grain have been making satisfactory progress and the outlook for these is re garded optimistically. Decrease in Wheat Supply.

A fresh shipment of Yakima potatoes was on the market yesterday and they were quoted at $88.50. Oregons were unchanged.

Cash trade was slow, but with receipts of only 30 cars the spot market was steady to 1 cent higher. There were no shippings and the east canceled 75.0OO bushels bought previously. The action of the mar ket the past few daya emphasizes the ad visability of exercising caution In follow ing the bulges with, buying orders, but at the same time the fact Is not to be lost sight of that pressure of cash corn has not yet Increased and the cash article still commands a premium sufficient to give the market an undercurrent of strength and makes it easily oversold. Oats New records were established for cash which was m tood demand with only 20 cars on the tables. Weather conditions unfavorable for spring ' field work and movement. The actual supply and demand situation at the moment does not afford much basis for a permanent decline.

MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. April 6. (Spe cial.) The Northwestern Millers' Review of the week's flour trade says A somewhat better Inquiry with prices for patents up 15 to 30 cents per barrel marked the week's trade, though actuall buying is in limited quantities only. A revival of demand seems to be generally expected before long. 'The output continues to decrease owing largely to car shortage, the spring wheat mills producing only 36 per cent of ca pacity, the hard winter wheat mills of the Kansas group 46 per cent and the Ohio valley soft winter wheat mills 33 per cent."

Announcement that the federal grand Jury was investigating alleged criminal manipulation of the corn market had a pronounced bearish effect today on the trade. Prices closed heavy. 2c to a7,4c net lower, with May Sl.tiL'1 to $1.62 and July $1.56H to $1.57. Oats lost up to 2Vfcc. In provisions the outcome varied from 7c decline to 5c advance. The corn market was very unsettled. fluctuating rapidly over a wide range. At the outset quotations ran up on account of distress buying to close out tfe business of a firm conspicuous of late ft the bear side. This buying totaled about 1,500,000 bushels. When the artificial support thus given was exhausted downturns began. Oats gave way in sympathy with corn. Provisions averaged lower.
