The firm's purchases : the first day were estimated at 750,000 bushels, and it was In the market for mere wheat yesterday. This and the strong market at Chicago caused a. somewhat exciting market here. Local board bids did not fully reflect the eastern advance, but higher offers were put out at country points. In some of the Interior sections bids were at or close to the dollar mark. As this is the level many farmers have been holding for, it la understood the day's turnover was large. At the Merchants' Exchange session, bard wheat, soft white and white club bids were raised 2 cents to (1.15. Other grades were 1 cent higher. Coarse grains were firmer, in sympathy with wheat. Gray oats, feed barley and Ho. 2 born were B0 cents higher on bid. Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows iWht, Ear. Fir. Ots. Hay. Portland Wed....

Scandinavian countries offer a good, al though limited, market for American ap vples, and prospects for a successful year in this trade are encouraging, reports the American agricultural trade commissioner at London, who recently completed an In vestigation in those countries. . The Scan dinavian markets indicate a preference for the medium and small sized apple. ; Special care must be taken in the pack ing and selection of fruit for these mar cts. Freight is high, and exchange is 'against the American shipper. American apples are therefore extremely- high and only first-class fruit can be disposed of .profitably. The ocean voyage from the United States to Scandinavian pens Is more arduous than the trip to British markets and un . less fruit Is In excellent . condition whel shipped, it has little chance of arriving in good condition or of holding its own after reaching its destination. The keep ing quality of the fruit is an important item in Scandinavian markets," as railway facilities are not always of the best. It usually takes the fruit a week or more to reach consumers after its arrival at the ports. PEACHES HOLD AT LOW PRICES Active Market for Yakima Elbertas Grapes Are Plentiful.

Other receipts yesterday were two cars of Yakima cantaloupes, two cars of water melons, one car of ice cream melons, one car of casabas, one car of lemons, one-car of California cabbage, one car of sweet po tatoes and one car of Walla Walla onions.

Report of Sales to India by Austra lia, With Smaller Yield Than Iast Tear, Starts Prices Cpward. CHICAGO, Sept 7. Wheat futures ad vanced to a new high on the present up turn and a new top on the crop lor May here today. Trading was active wuu more outside interest and at the nigh point prices were up as much as 6 cents over the early low with heavy buying commis sion houses and the local element on the way up with stop orders uncovered. May led the advance. Final wheat figures were 2 to 4o higher, while corn ruled to lc up ana oats & to 1 5c niKucr. Corn advanced 114 10 ic irom io early low, but did not maintain au 01 this. An easier tone was shown early, but the market turned strong later in sym pathy with wheat Trading was not large. Oats followed other grains, declining early only to advance later. The south was credited with being a good buyer at times, the advance in cotton being a (actor. Provisions averaged lower, me icaiuro being the buying of January ana Marcn lard by houses witn easiern connecnuua, presumably hedging against sales of cot tonseed oil. Thu Chlcaco era In letter, received yes terday by the Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland, follows: Wheat It waa the most active market In manv months, starting out rather easy and ending close to the high point at a net gain of 4 to 4 cents irom iuo. niirhfa close. The feature early in the day was the buying by eastern interests, which waa thought to be in part repre sentative of export sales. Shortly before the close it developed that the export de mand had fallen liat ana mac me pre miums had been materially reduced. In fact one report had It that the continent resold ten cargoes of wheat. Casn mar kets were again mixed, Chicago premiums being further reaucea, wnue in xue nunu- west the aemana was reponeu guou t lirm premiums. The most significant bullish news was In the form of a cable fram nrnnmhall. saving India was buying wheat in Australia and estimating the crop of the latter country at from 96,000,000 to 120,000,000 bushels, against 152,000,000 last year. The actual situation remains as bullish as ever, but the market has registered a substantial gain and we would not be surprised to see a fair setback based on the Immediate export situation. Corn advanced with wheat and on buy ing by shorts early in the day the mar ket was compelled to digest a sizeable volume of hedging pressure, but the of ferings appeared to be well taken. The cash market was at yesterdays basis. Country selling appears to be on the de crease and the position of this market should gradually strengthen. We suggest purchases on any decline that may occur In sympathy with wheat Oats There was good buying In this market early tn the day and prices ad vanced easily with ther grains. Receipts were estimated at 140 cars and met a good demand at yesterday's basla Country offerings to arrive were reported light We consider oats on an investment basis. 4 Rye Persistent hedging pressure from the northwest held rye futures In check, and the response to the strength in other directions was small. Leading rye spe cialists consider this grain relatively too cheap as -compared with wheat, calling First the Bondhouse; Then the Bond OCCASIONALLY people come to us with the idea that buy ing bonds is an intricate-and dif ficult matter.
