POLISH WAR HEWS'
" LIFTS WHEAT PRICE
Markets Are Excited in
Sections of Country.
Ail
INTERIOR BIDS ARE HIGHER
Fanners Arc BuIIishly Affected by
Advance and Few Are Selling.
Coarse Grain Trade Quiet.
Whait was atronq again yesterday In
all the American markets. All bids on
the local exchange were higher and buy
era in the country offered 7 to 8 cents
more than two days ago. Not much wheat
changed hands, however, as the rise In
prices, added to the bullishness of farm
era and their offers to sell, were cut down.
The latest war developments in Europe
were the controlling factors in all mar
kcts and the decline announced in ocean
freight rates was also of soma influence
here.
At the Merchants' exchange bids for
hard white, white club and northern spring
were advanced 5 cents, hard winter 4
cents and soft white, red winter and red
Walla 3 cents.
la the Chicago market the December
option closed 10 cents - higher than
Wednesday and March wheat gained 10
cents, while cash wheat in that market
rose 5 to '2 cents. At Omaha cash wheat
was 13 to 13 cents higher.
The coarse grain market was sluggish
locally. September oats bids were ad
vanced $2 and August corn $1.50. Sep
tember corn and September blue barley
wcra 50 cents lower. Other bids were un
changed. The Canadian weather report was gen
erally fair throughout the grain belt with
light to good rains at Moosejaw, Sas
katchewan and Edmonton.
Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported

AUSTRALIA WOOL CONTROL. OPPOSED
- Growers Suggestions for Handling This
Season's Clip.
Trade Commissioner A. A. Ferrin at
Melbourne, In a cablegram to the depart
ment of commerce, states that the refer
endum on a proposal to continue control
of Australian wool after June 30, 1020,
the date of expiration of the contract with
the Imperial government, through a pool
directed by representatives of growers,
brokers and the commiBoion on wealth,
has failed te bring out a sufficient num
bar of favorable votes.
' New proposals have been made for re
sumption of auction sales after October 1,
under restrictions which would prevent
the wool owned by the British government
being sold In competition wth the 1920-21
clip, which would be free of government
control. The main features of the new
plan are as follows:: Export of 1020-21
wool to be prohibited until October 1;
public auctions of wool in Australia to be
resumed after October 1, and auctions of
Australian wool In London to be suspended
from October 1. 1020, to May 1, 1021.
About 1,500,000 bales of the four dtps
acquired by the imperial government re
mained unshipped in Australia. Of this
amount 600,000 bales are low grade.
LEMONS ARK WEAK IN All MARKETS
Cool Summer Eatt said Large Imports
From Sicily Affect Prices.
The demand for fresh fruits and veg
etables was slow and prices were generally
unchanged.
Th orange markfet is strong. Advioes
from California were that the supply yet
to be shipped Is only 60 per cent of what
was on hand a year ago.
Lemons are weak in all markets and
Improvement Is not expected until the
fall months. The 'eastern demand has been
checked by the cool summer, and the
heavy imports of Sicily lemons, which
have been favored by the low rate of ex
change, have been an adverse factor in
the market.
BUTTER 13 SHIPPED TO CALIFORNIA
Slightly Firmer Tono Reported In the Cube
Market.
There were Indications yesterday of a
better market for cube butter. Extras
sold locally at 33 cents and there were re
ports of cur lot sates at half a cent better.
There was a limited demand for prints.
The butterfat war is still on. but la ex-
pected to come to an end soon.
Kgg receipts were small and the market
was firm. Cash buyers paid 47 cents net,
Portland, for shipments from the country.
Dressed meats and poultry were in light
supply and trade was slow at steady
prices.

GRAIN ISjraii FAST
CONDITIONS GENERALLY GOOD
IN INLAND EMPIRE.
Only Serious Reports Conic From
Grant and Douglus Coun
ties, Washington.
Vf. G. Paine of Spokane, assistant gen
eral freight and passenger agent of the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway, in
reporting grain crop conditions in bis ter
ritory, says:
"The only really bad conditions In the
Inland Umpire are In Grant and Douglas
counties, and the drouth-stricken areas
are facing their fourth successive crop
failure. Persons returning from tnat dis
trict say that livestock will perish unless
help comes from outside, as farmers can
not possibly tide over another winter
without outside aid. Crop reports were
the lowest for this year since 1910 by
thousands of bushels. In 191 the two
counties had 9,000,000 bushels; 1917, 4,000,
0UO but he Is; 1918. 2,500,000; 191U, 3,000,
000, and the prospect for this year Is
for about half the 1919 yield. The very
ttet land will not vield over eleht bush
els this year and that onfy along the
streams. very little, it any. or tnis lanu
is tributary to the Spokane, Portland .&
Seattle railway."
Mr. Paine sends the following detailed
reports:
J Valley Ford Very dry and hot. Have
had no rain for some time. Fall wheat
all cut and spring wheat being cut.
Average yield of winter wheat about 20
bushels; spring grain 15. Threshing will
commence in about two weeks.
Waverly No grain threshed yet. There
will not be a large crop, but 1 think
early report of damage by heat greatly
exaggerated.
JUwunt Hope MoFt or winter wneat Har
vested; Indications 30 to 85 bushels. Spring
grain in poor shape, some burnt and bal
ance will only give a small yield, pi ob
bly average trum 12 to 13 Dusuei&
Spring alley Cutting has commenced
on tall wheat and omu ot it looks pretty
good. Some that was sown on pea ground
u. burued pretty badly, and also the spring
wheat and oats sown on spring plowing
are burned badly. Hot winds nave been
bard on grain litre.
Rosalia Weather past two weeks has
been dry and very hot, resulting in very
tait ripening of all grains. Harvesting ot
wheat Is la lull swing. J. W timer, who
makes up the crop report for Whitmai
county and whose judgment is very eon
servative, places the yield of fall wheat
for this vicinity at about 24 bushels. He
estimates the spring wheat crop at about
two-tli irds of a crop, which would yield
about 12 to 13 bushels, with considerable
iucreae in acreage. A decided decreasu
in oats acreage; crop is very light, hardly
half a crop.
Step toe Crops of all kinds have pro
gressed in good shapo past month. Cut
ting of lall wheat has started and wil
be in full blast next week. Early-sowu
spring wheat will make a iair crop, liile
the later sown, in many fields, is near a
failure. Farmers generally say that the
crops will be about, as good as latt year,
with not quite so heavy an acreage.
Thornton Weather past ten days has
been very hot, with cool nights. This had
l-een good on grain. Enough moisture in
ground to develop wheat. Spring grain
is extra good, with the exception ot be
Ing burned in spots. Farmers now cutting
forty-fold wheal.
Colfax Hot winds last couple of day
have ripened grain very much, and some
fear there will be damage to grain.
Garlield Past lew days very hot and
dry. Crops have suffered considerably
Lii.te-sowu spring wheat badly burned las1
few days. Most farmers declare yield Is
very materially reduced account burning.
It seems now to be the general opinion
that the crop will not quite equal 1919.
Fall wheats is looking fine. Oats will
yield the best crop that has been raised
in 20 years.
Oakesdale Fall wheat Is being cut now
and is fairly good, but the yield is cu
ccnsiderably account hot weather. Sprin
wheat is very short and some will not be
cut. That town early will bring about
12 bushels per acre.
Falouse From available information,
crop conditions very favorable. Consid
erablo number of cool night lately and
warm weather has apparently not dam
aged grain. Fall wheat will run from 2
to 40 bushels to the acre: spring whea
from 15 to 25; about ten days before cut
ting will be general.
Mos-ow Weather past several days dry
and net, which is ripening winter whe
very fast, and It is expected some of it
nill be cut within a week. All sprin
grain Is still In good condition and does
not show any effects er the hot weathe
Uberty Lake Crop is mostly all cu
and shocked and some threshed. Averaga
estimated yield is from 25 to 30 bushels
to the acre. .
Post Falls Winter wheat practically
sii fe and harvesting has begun. Spring
v heat not doing very well account toe
dry and hot. Oats doing veyr well, but
tain would greatly benefit them.
Hayden Lake Weather very warm and
dry and rain needed badly in unirrigated
districts. Wheat has ripened, very good
crop In this vicinity. Oats is ripening
and will be short in length, but seems to
be heading and fiLing out in spite of dry
weather.

NEW YORK, Auc 5- Unfavorable for

and renewed liquida.tioe and abort sell
ing caused losses among; industrial stocks
of one to ten points today. Except for
an interval in the first hour, when -a rise
in railroad shares bad a tonic effect, the
downward movement was continuous.
Conditions In the foreign exchange and
money markets were more favorable, but
were ignored. '--
Reports that the banks had called loans
on certain Industrial collateral attended
the decline.
The bear faction devoted Its energies
to driving down individual shares, causing
uneasiness am one; holders of other secu
rities as to where the attack would come
next. Oils, steels shippings, sugars and
leathers were targets, and the precipitate
decline in these groups dragged down the
balance of the list.
Resistance was poor 4. gainst the selling,
even investment railroads falling back 1
to 3 points. Middle States Oil crashed

Willi NEWS LIFTS GRAIN
EVERY COpiMO-DITV OX CHICA
GO BOARD IS HIGHER.
Urgent Demand for Cash Wheat in
Spite of Iack of Buying by
Britibli Commission.
. CHICAGO, Aug. 3. War news hoisted
the price today of every commodity on
exchange. At the topmost point, wheat
was up 16 cents a bushel. Protit-taking.
though, eased the market later.' The
close was nervous, IO to lO'a cents net
higher with December S2.4U to 2.40a
and March f 2.24. Corn finished at 2
to UU cents advance; oats gained 1 to
2 cents and provisions 17 to 00 cents.
Wheat available for immediate use was
In keen demand and it was this circum
stance that was the outstanding feature
rather than speculative buying of future
deliveries. 1 he urgent call fur cash
wheat seemed the mere striking in view
of assertions that export call was slow
a?d that the British royal ommUwion
still held off as a bnyer. Heavy margins
required as a result of wide fluctuations
that have been the rule of late was the
generally accepted reason of the compara
tive absence of any unusual broadening
of the volume of pit transactions. Scar
city of country offerings added some
what to the force of bullish sentiment,
and so, likewise, did complaints of car
shortage.
Crop injury from prolonged dry weather
had much to do with higher prices for
corn, although the tension over war de
velopments appeared to be the leading
Influence. Oats sympathized with corn.
Sale of 2,000,600 pounds of lard, sup
posed to go indirectly to Germany, gave
impetus to the upturn in previsions. Be
sides, it was estimated that meat stocks
in the west had been reduced this week
SO. OOO, 606 peunds.
The Chicago market letter received yes-
tcrd.y by Ovbeck tt Cook company, of
Portland, eaid :
Wheat Scored another sharp advance
and remained strong until shortly before
the clo.e when scattered profit-taking
sales brought about m reaction. Euro
pean ,r possibilities ruled sentiment and
overshadowed the absence of exporting.
The British commission remained out of
the market. Cash markets were as
strong If not stronger than the future,
advancing 13 cents to 17 cents In Chi
cago and about the same elsewhere. Con
siderable talk is heard of car shortage
again becoming a factor, notwithstanding
the claims of most ranroans
situation Is easier. The decrease in coun
try offerings Is generally attrmuiea i
lack of transportation facilities.- as the
producer Is apparently satisfied with the
price and is a willing seller because of
the difficulty In borrowing money against
grain holdings.
Corn News other than that pertaining
to the Russian situation was of 1"""
consequence In the way of price making.
Aside from this, the news was mixed :
receipts small and spot price advanced
sharply on a fairly active demand. Ad
vices from the east reported offerings
of Argentine corn at much lower P"es
than the domestlce grain. The' weekly
government weather and crop report con
firmed the need pf rain over most sec
tions of the belt, but reported the con
dition generally good to excellent. Indi
cating that a general-rain would make
the condition of the crop almost perfect.
The market for the Immediate future will
no doubt be governed almost exclusively
by the new from abroad with local de
velopments temporarily lost sight or.
Oats Moved by the same Influences as
other grains, advancing more than 8 cents
from yesterday's close. There was a bet
ter demand for cosh and spot premiums
were quoted 14 cents higher New
Tori, ".ported some foreign b"1
no business done, due to lack of offerings.
Provisions Volume of trade was light,
w... Hi.ni. ved strength In sympa
thy with higher grain and hog Prices.
There w.a no material rhng. "a
