-WHEAT SALES BY FARMERS LIGHT
Exporters of Coast Wheat Hesitate to Pur-
chase So Late in Season,
Farmers were, slow sellers of wheat yes
terday. Stocka in the country have become
so light that when any firmness appears
frn the market dealers find It difficult to
get hold of grain.
The east reported a good volume of ex
port business, but in this territory export
era hesitate about buying wheat for ship
ment after June 15. as any leaving after

CUT IS WINTER WHEAT ESTIMATE
6dow Now Figures Production at 599,000,
000 Bubliels.
Snow has reduced his winter wheat crop
estimate 58,000.000 bushels as a result of
the crop deterioration since May 1. He
estimates the spring wheat acreage less
than a year ago and oats condition at an
unusually low figure. The Snow report,
which was issued yesterday, says:
"Condition of winter wheat 80. T per
cent versus 88.6 per cent a month ago;
Indicated production 509,000,000 bushels
versus 657,000,000 bushels on May L The
heavy loss is in the southwest, but some
decline tn condition Is reported from all
Important districts. Spring wheat acreage
17,652,000, or 9 per cent less than last
year; condition 93.9 per cent; indicated
production 245.000.000 bushels. Oats area
very slightly changed from that harvested
In 1920; condition 86.3 per cent, which
ts the lowest June figure in .more than
30 years; indicated production 1,370,000,
0K bushels, versus production last year
Of 1,526.000,000 bushels."
PRINT BUTTER TWO CENTS HIGHER
Better Price AN Offered for Cube; Eggs
Tend t pward.
Print butter prices were advanced 2
cents yesterday morning to the 32-cent
basis. Not all the creameries followed
the advance, but they are expected to be
In line today. The buying price of butter
fat was raised 1 cent to 26 cents for No.
1 grade. The advance in prints naturally
trengthened cubes and buyers offered 26 u
6 27 cents for extras.
Eggs were firmer, with some buyers
offering 19 centa delivered to country ship
pers, while others were still quoting 18
cents. Local jobbing prices were not ma
terially changed.
Poultry receipts were liberal and the
market was weak and tend in r
Country dressed meats were steady.
Eggs Lighter on Leading Markets.
Egg receipts are lighter on the leading
markets and some advance Is noted in
quoted prices for fine grading stock. To
bring best prices, eggs should be gathered
daily, held In a coo! place and marketed
frequently, says the Weekly Produce Re
view of Swift & Co.. of Chicago.
Cream has been received In larger quan
tities during the week, but prices for but
ter have been well sustained.
Poultry Is moving from the farms in
larger quantities and prices are generally
lower on the consuming markete and In
producing sections.

Coffee Futures I-ower.
NBW YORK, June 1. The market for
coffee futures was lower today under
liquidation of old long accounts in the ab
sence of any important demand. Reports
of rallies in the primary markets and
rumored private cables that Importers here
would have to raise their bids to secure
coffee from Brazilian shippers, evidently
failed to make any impression on senti
ment, as closing prices were within 2 to
8 points of the lowest. The market opened
at a decline of 5 to 13 points and sold
14 to 17 points net lower on active months
with September touching 6.61c and closing
at 6.64c bid. The general market closed at
& net decline of 13 to 10 points. July,
ti.2!c: September, 6.64c; October, 6.78c;
l")ecember, 7.0Sc; January, 7.18c; March,
T.SKc; May. 7.62c
Spot coffee was reported in moderate de
mand at for Jtlo 7s and 99c for
ban Los 4s.
Rails Derive Little Benefit From
Wage Reduction; Liberty Bonds
lower, Victory Xotes Firm.
NBW YORK, Juna i- Shares of rec
ognized value were relatively steady in
the stock market today, bat speculative
Issues recorded additional losses.
Increased depression in essential in
dustries, notably steel and motor, was
marked by further curtailment of opera
tions, lower price schedules and more re
adjustment of dividends.
Food specialties, such as sugars, were
heavy. In the list as a whole, gains and
losses were confusingly mixed at the irreg
ular close. Sales were 675,000 shares.
Transportation stocks derived little or no
benefit from the cut in wages. Trades
were expected to hold aloof from the rail
road division pending action regarding
freight rates by the interstate commerce
commission.
Fluctuations In the money market fol
lowed the recent set course, loans opening
at 7 per cent and rising to IVi per cent in
response to the usual belated demand. Time
funds and commercial paper rates were
unchanged.
The foreign exchange market was strong.
Sterling rallied 4 cents from its recent low
and continental rates advanced 6 to 35
points, the Dutch rate showing especial
Improvement.
A new low record of 86.84 for liberty
3s featured the . bond market Other
liberties were mostly lower, but victory
notes strengthened. Domestic issues as a
whole were irregular with leading inter
nationals. Totals sales, par value, $9,850,000.'

have been granted Grays Harbor
county poll tax payers by the county
treasurer, for during the last two days
allowed by law tor payment the
office has been swamped with remit
tances which will require a number
of davs to file and receipt properly.
Xo delinquents, therefore, will be cer
tified to the sheriff for forced col
lection through property seizure until
June 15. Difficulty of large employers
in securing poll tax data from their
employes has delayed remittance of
several hundred tax payments.
