Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1920 21 COSTS ARE REDUCED BY LIGHTER BUYING Decline in Wholesale Prices Is Not Interrupted. a. food many of the offerings were green. i Standards of good grade sold mostly at $332 3.50. Watermelons moved fast be cause of the hot weather at 23 cents, according to .grade. A good many shipments of small local apples are coming In and there I but lit tle demand for these. Peaches are not yet plentiful and remain high in price. It U not probable they will be cheap at any time this season. Another shipment of Malaga grapes arrived and offered at 93.75 4.00. More sweet potatoes were received and they were 'lower at 13 17 cents. BUTTER MARKET EN FIRM POSITION AT TOP IN SPRING MONTH Clothing Valies Hare Fallen 10 Per Cent Since April 1 General JLIst Is Down 4.2 Per Cent. Expectations of further commodity price deflation nave proved well founded, aa evidenced by the fall in Dun's Index Number of wholesale quotations to the lowest level since last January. At 1 252, 288 on August 1. the latest compilation Is 3.1 per cent below the $200,414 of a month earlier, and Is 4.2 per cent under the high record of $203.32 of May 1, this year. Since that date, the price recession has been continuous and the present downward movement contrasta sharply with the tendency of a year ago, when a sharp rise was witnessed. "While the index number is 4.4 per cent above the figure at this period in 3119, yet Uie yielding of some important markets has become more pronounced since the current month opened and the trend toward a more natural price basis, which Is largely the outcome of dimin ished consumption of commodities, may conceivably be extended. "While four of the seven divisions Into which the index number la separated reached higher levels on August 1 than a, month' earlier, yet the yielding In tb,e breadstuffs, dairy and garden products and clothing classes considerably more than offset the advances elsewhere. With violent break in grain prices during July, notably in wheat and corn, the breadstuffs group fell nearly 13 per cent, or from $57,170 to $4i,871, while the total of dairy and garden articles declined from $8,044 to $20,430, or 6.7 per cent. The change in the clothing class, while less extensive, marked the fourth con secutive monthly recession, the decrease from the high point of the present year, established on April 1, approximates 10 per cent. Of the four groups which ad vanced last month. metals show the widest alteration, rising to a new high record for the year at $32,040. FARMERS SLOW SELLERS OF WHEAT Demand Good at Advancing Prices, but Movement Is Small. "Wheat buying was rather quiet In the country yesterday. There was a good de mand, but farmers were not ln a hurry to sell. Prices bid were on a firm basis, though they did not reflect all the advance that was scored by the markets in the east, as prices here, according to dealers, have been out of line for some time past. September bids were raised on the local 'board, hard white and northern spring 3 cents and the other grades 1 cent. Aside from a 50-oent advance in Sep tember bulk corn, there were no changes I In the coarse-grain market. "Weather conditions in the middle west, as wired from Chicago: "Chicago, cloudy, warm; Cincinnati, Ies Moines, J op 1 in, Wichita, raining and misting; Burtinrrton, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Oklahoma City, part cloudy; rains in Illinois, Iowa Ne braska; showers in Kansas and Missouri; Ohio cloudy, cool; northwest cloudy and cool.

The new print-butter prices put out yes terday were followed by most of the city creameries and in a day or two are likely to become general, as the market is In a firm position. The best grade of print? were held at firm prices. Egg receipts - were small, and as the quality Is running poor these hot days, a wider ranga has been established between the case-count buying price and the seillng prices of candled and select eggs. There were fair receipts of poultry and rarm-dreesed meats and prices were on a steady basis. STOCK iMNCE STEftDyiSSrs?

Call Money Market Gives Further Indications of Easing; Bonds Are Irregular. NEW TORK. Aug. 12. Prices of stocks advanced again iixiay. Apart from an Interval of heaviness at the start and some yielding at the close, when traders took profits, the trend was upward. Prominence given developments in the Russian-Polish situation produced early selling which carried down the list 1 to 3 points. Pressure soon ceased and the market gradually crept upward on dimin lshed dealings. By the early afternoon all losses had been recovered and many stocks ruled I 1 to 2 points above yesterday's close. Low priced oils, sugars, motors, rubbers, ship. . pings, tobaccos, steels. International Nickel, United 8tates Alcohol and Amer lean Woolen were carried up smartly. Total sales approximated 450, 0OO shares. The money market gave early Indica tion of easing, the call rate railing to 6 per cent before mid-day after renewals had been established at 7 per cent. Strin gent conditions continued to prevail as to time money, virtually no funds being loaned despite bids of 9 to D per cent. Bonds were Irregular. Foreign Issues also were mixed and caused liberty bonds to move - uncertainly. . Ignited States old bonds were unchanged on call. Total sales (par value) $9,225,000. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

For the first i-eeks the British market for cash mount over night nd asktnir for further offers, although their bids were several cents out of line. Another Item of news that attracted atten tion was the reported saie of three cargoes to Argentina and Brazil. Practically all the cash markets, and particularly the northwest, enjoyed a keen milling demand and prices were quoted from 4 to 10 cents higher. Early threshing returns from the northwest are very mixed. The market has a much healthier appearance and should continue strong while there is evi dence yiat exporters are likely to display more interest. "Corn Seotember corn responded to the strength in the cash article and December displayed remarkable strength In face tot excellent crop reports and generous rains over many dry sections. The action today seemed to demonstrate quite conclusively that cash premiums at the moment are of more vital importance than the crop pros pects. The movement to market has been on the wane for a week and is not likely to improve for some time. Wheat is being given preference and the transportation bugaboo again looms up on the horizon as a market factor of considerable potency. Oats Strong early in sympathy wltn wheat and corn but the bulge met oppo sition under the Influence of any easy tone in the cash market. Premiums were lower with late sales No. 2, white at mostly 4 cents over September. The reported ex port sales yesterday failed, according to today's Indications; to reflect the resump tion of active foreign buying. Rye Higher prices were established in the absence of Important selling. Local xporters reported foreigners accepting all offers. Provisions Somewhat more active with strength In grain Influencing short cov- ring. cash trade was reported as quiet annd elsewhere no change in conditions." Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT.

CHICAGO, Aug. 12- Wheat made a lively advance in price today, stirred on by general belief that a big export busi ness was being done. The market closed strong 5 $i 6.c net higher with Decem ber 2.44 H 2.45 and March 2.47. Corn finished 21440 up, oats unchanged to c higher, and provisions varying from 10c decline to a like advance. Opinion was widespread that foreigners were buying under cover In the wheat trade and the fact later developed that the British royal commission had pur chased some wheat and was bidding for more. Knowledge that Great Britain had re-en tered the market was a decided bullish influence, and so too was a notice able scarcity of offerings. Besides, un confirmed gossip was current that 6outh America as well as Europe was buying wheat in the United States. In this con nection, it was eaid, shipments out of Argentina this week were expected to be only about 500.000 bushels as against 4.442.000 bushels last week. Corn rose with wheat. Oats were firm. Dealings In provisions appeared to be virtually confined to packers and carriers changing trades from September to October. t The Chicago market letter received yes terday by Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland said: "Wheat Offerings were light and the market showed ready response to scattered Marc-Inge License.
