Newspaper Page Text21 TIIE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, SATURDAY, : OCTOBER 1, 1921 HEM PRODUCTl OF LIBER SLATED Great Activity in Next Five Years Held Certain. CONSTRUCTION ERA IS ON Largo Quantities of Oregon Slate- rlals Needed for Repair of Railroad Equipment. Oregon within the nert Ave years will experience the greatest produc tion of lumber ever known to the state, according to the belief not only of men engaged In the business of lfffging and marketing lumber, but bankers who aid In the financing. The entry of the Charles Keith In terests. the Long-Bell Lumber com pany and the Miami corporation Into me Oregon forests for the purpose of operation Is held as only a fore runner to what will follow. Building conditions throughout the nation showed a decided Improvement during the month of August over those of the same month of 1920. In survey of 152 cities of the United States It was found that $153,000,000 worth of building was done during the month, or 40 per cent more than was done during the same month of last year. August showed an Increase of 5.8 per cent In building over the . month of July. Building Activity Begins. During the war building of all kinds was at & standstill and since the war. due to high cost of materials, high freight rates, high costs of la bor and the unstable condition of the money market little building has been done. Now that there Is & better financial condition and the other fac tors that caused business men to hesi tate have been more or less adjusted, the building business has started. The country Is held to be five years behind in building and to bring about the construction to bring conditions to normal a great demand for lum ber is slated to come. Boxcar Nerd Repair. Railroads under government control did little to repair their freight cars aid to lay new ties. A survey of railroad conditions shows that 200,000 boxcars .are now in a poor state of repair and that thousands of new cars are needed. In addition to this It is estimated that 40,000,000 ties will be needed to put the roads In depend able condition. Kach tie contains 42 board feet and the entire tie require ment of timber would amount to 2.400,000,000 feet or approximately the amount contained In the 27,000 acre tract recetujy purchased by the Cen tral Coal & Coke company of Kansas City from the Oregon American Lum ber company. During normal times the lumber companies of Oregon sold practically 40 per cent of their products to the railroads. Due to financial condi tions the railroads have been unable to buy and mills have suffered. Lumbermen of Portland etate that If the railroads are successful in their attempt to obtain financial aid from the government there win be a great demand for ties and lumber necessary for the construction of new boxcars and for the repair of those now on the sidetracks In an unservlcable condition. finds the Hood River valley apple har vest In full swing. Growers In all sections have begun picking. In most Instances, following the picking of such varieties as Winter Bananas, Jonathans and Ortleys grown in quantities small In comparison with the two main commercial apple of this valley, Newtowns and Spitzen burgs, growers turn their crew of pickers Into their Newtown trees. Spitzenburgs are usually left as long as possible to gain much color. But the early frosts of two weeks ,ago have already resulted In an un usual coloring of red varieties of ap ples this year, and even Newtowns will carry a larger percentage of yel low blushes on their cheeks than or dinarily. Indeed, old-time growers say they have never seen handsomer apples than are being taken from the trees now. The Spitzenburgs of the Hood River valley are all premium apples this sea son," declared H. . Davidson, follow ing an inspection of . his orchard tracts.

Eugene. Sept. 30. (Special.) Loans from the student loan fund may in the future be limited to non-smokers, according to Dr. John Straub, dean of men. "The amount of money spent by the average smoker during a school year is 50 or better, and it is felt that if a student really needs help, he could eliminate this Item of expense," said Dean Straub. The student loan fund has1 dwindle to less than $00 and loans this year must be for small amounts and for a short time, said Dean Straub. The fund was started about 15 years ago fcy a gift of $200. increasing through gifts and interest to $8000 at one time. The money1 Is loaned to stu dents -who can show they are self reliant and whose notes can be In dorsed by two property holders. A senior Is allowed any amount up to 8200, while the quota for a freshman is $50. The borrower Is generally given one year in which to pay back the money. TIMBER CAMP LOCATED Long-Bell Company Establishes Base for 300 Loggers. CHEHALIS, Wash., Sept. SO. (Spe cial.) The Long-Bell Lumber com pany, whose recent extensive pur chases of Washington and Oregon timber holdings have Indicated large operations by that concern, has es tablished a camp at Wlldwood, 18 miles southwest of Chehalis, where JO0 men are making their headquar ters. The company has very extensive holding in southwestern Lewis coun ty and It Is planned to make a com plete crutse of the timber, map the topography of the country and ob tain all data necessary to enable operations to be carried on mos economically and effectively when operations actually begin. Included in the holdings of the Long-Bell com pany in Lewis county is some of th- finest virgin timber to be found It the Pacific northwest RATE WAR IS CONTINUED Oregon Electric Extends Reduced I'ares Another Month. Special, dally and week-end fares, effective through the summer, have been continued temporarily In effect by the Oregon Electric railroad to Salem. Woodburn and points on the Forest Grove branch. The rates were to have expired yesterday. The ex tension is for one month. There Is ' a report that very low rates will be made during that period as a con tinuation of the rate war. .

Businesa Properties Sold. MEDFORD," Or., Sept. 30. (Spe cial.) Important deals In local busi ness property in the heart of the busi ness district have Just been announced whereby J. F. Hale obtains possession nf the three-storv Anlcini hiillHinv corner of East Main street and Central avenue, and the two-story Stewart building, corner Main and Bartlett streets, both brick structures. The consideration was not made known. The new owner will remodel both structures and make them thoroughly up to date. Cement Paring Completed. GASTON, Or., SepL 30 (Special.) The last stretch of cement pavement between Gaston and McMinnville was completed today and will be ready for traffic In 40 days. The piece that Is paved Is an 840-foot fill Just south of Gaston, where there has been a wooden bridge over an arm of Wapato lake. The detour parallel with the pave ment Just alongside Is very good, a planked roadway having been con structed the entire length. Water Bonds to Be Sold. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Sept. 30. (Special.) The city has fixed Octo ber 25 as the day for receiving bids for the $500,000 issue of water bonds. The bonds draw 6 per cent. The money Is to be used to better the water system. Shortage Throughout World Ex pected Ultimately to Restore Values Supply Xow Lacking. . The hop market Is quiet and prices are somewhat lower than a week ago. Efforts are being made to depress the market, as is frequently the eas during the period when contracts are being taken in. An uncertain and Irregular course of prices Is therefore expected for another month. The largest buyer of contracts bought them at 25 cents with a guarantee of a quarter to a half of any advanc over this price, giving the growers until October SI to make deliveries. Any recession from the 30-cent quotation lately current would accordingly work to the advantage of the buyer, which probably explain some of the steps taken to bear the market. These steps have been In the nature of re selling. Other buyer have rejected a number of lots and this ha naturally had soma effect on th grower. It 1 to be regretted that anyone has considered It necessary to re ject purchases in a year like this. After all that has been said and dons to Induce th farmers to tura out a superior grade of hops, hair-splitting on the question of quality Is likely to make growers Indif ferent when they harvest th next crop. The Oregon hop farmer have shown this year what they could do by putting on the market not only the best crop of hops raised .on the Pacific coast, but also the best that Oregon ha produced In many years. It would seem that their efforts should be encouraged rather than have ob stacles placed in their wsy. Regardless of the tactics of dealers the market situation Is not altered. The world has produced an unusually short crop and this shortag will be felt when buying ac tually begin. Th best hops in th United States art here In Oregon and there are only 5000 to 6000 bale free to be mar keted. For this reason the grower, who have studied the situation are not worry ing. The market Just at present lacks support and is weak, but when th English de mand opens up there should be another story to tell. Prices much higher than have been seen so far this season are pos sible. . ' WHEAT BIDS REDUCED ON"E CENT Export Trade Subside and Other Bayers Are Inactive. All grades and deliveries of wheat were one cent lower on bid at the Merchants' Exchange. Trading was restricted. Most of the exporters reported they were out of the market and as a number of cargoes are still unsold, it Is a question when ex port business will be resumed. Foreigners might be Interested at $1.05 here, but that is several cents below the price at which wheat could b bought. The coarse grain market was also slow. October and November white oats were $1 higher, while gray oats and barley were unchanged. There was no demand for corn. Receipts of grain, flour and hay at Portland in carloads In September of this and last year compare as follows:- - Sept. Sept. 1121 lH-'O ... 5234 2120 ... 168 SO 31 23 .... 22 28 ... 141 172 Curtis, spring of prices with more demand for hens than for springs. Country dressed meats were slow and weak. WILLAMETTE PRUNES LARGE New Crop of Fruit Grades High In Size and quality. Results of th first day's operation In grading the new crop of prunes show they are running very strongly to the largest sizes this season. Th grading work has Just been started by the Oregon Growers" Co-operative as sociation at Sarem. A careful checking oi the day' run, with nearly eight ton of prune graded, showed that nearly 73 per cent of them wer in 30-4OS, more than 23 per cent were 40-50 and barely 1 per cent were in the 50-00 class. Th prunes are pushing the upper llmltf of the grades and many of the test show that they ran more nearly 30-35S than 30-40. A few of the prune are grading In the 20-30 class. The first lot run through wss 85 per cent 30-40., with nearly all th rest in th 40-30 class. The early grading work may be taken as a good indication of the way that th prune of the entire Willamette valley will be run this season and although the yield will be light th large-sized prunes are expected to bring good returns to th grower. The Washington Grower Packing cor poration report that 00 per cent oi it pack will be 30-40 and that 23 per cent will be 40-50. It may be difficult tc supply the demand for small-sized prunes this year. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of tbe northwestern cities yesterday wer a Xolowa; Clearings.

" CREAMERIES ARE AFTER BUTTER Higher Prices Offered Than City Buyers WU1 Pay. The butter market was firm with a lim ited supply of eubes offered and only a very small proportion of these were top grade. A feature of the situation was the demand from country creameries which were willing to pay more than tha city buyer would offer for extra. All signs apparently point to a higher market.

The stock mar ket today forfeited a considerable part of its recent gain, leaders reacting one to three points to proilt-taking. renewal of short commitment and tighter money rates. Diminished deallogs again centered In the more prominent Issues, comprising the oil, steel, equipment and metal groups. Motors and subsidiaries and food special ties trailed along at more moderate fluo tuationa. Ralls were the only Issues to maintain a semblance of firmness, being sustained largely by the further publication of fa vorable earnings. Lehigh Valley wa most active, at a net gain of almost three points In connection with the prospective segregation of tbe company's coal prop ertiea The plan of the New Tork transit com mittee for the merger of all local trac tions had little effect on these Issues until the final hour, when Brooklyn Rapid Transit Issues were under marked pressure In the general list reactions were most severe in Mexican Petroleum, Baldwin Lo comotive, Studebaker and American Sugar. Sales were 450,000 shares. Call loans rose from th opening rate of 6 per cent to 6H Per cent at midday and advanced to 6 per cent, mainly on belated borrowing in the final hour. Time rates were unchanged, but some loans extending to the close of the year were mad at slight concessions when backed by high-grade collateral. British, French and Belgian exchanges strengthened In response to higher quo tations from London, th German rat also making further recovery from Its recent collapse. Italian bills continued their downward course, however, the lire declining to a fraction under 4 cents. Trading In liberty and victory issues again featured the bond market, but no new records were made. Foreign Issues were lower, especially French and Belgian government flotations. Total sales, par value, aggregated $13,650,000. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. (Furnished by Overbeck ok Cooke com pany. Portland. Sales. High. Low. 1,000 49 48 !4 Adams Exp. , .

IRE WHEAT CONSIGNED FARMERS PREPARE TO MAR KET SPRING GRAIX SURPLUS. Chicago Prices Decline Sharply With Predictions of Larger Receipts Next Week. CHICAGO, Sent. SO. Predictions of en larged receipts In the northwest next week had good deal to do with making wheat price decline today. The market closed heavy, lc to 24e net lower, with De (ember 11.20 to ll.20 and May 11.23 to $1.25. Corn lost c to la end oats c to c. In provisions, the outcome varied from 15 cents declln to 10 cent advance. It wa ald that consignment notices of wheat due to arrive at northwestern terminala were of greater volume than for ony previous time this season. From this circumstance bears drew the Inference that spring wheat farmers were showing a disposition to market their surplus with out delay, notwithstanding government finances available to carry the grain if so desired. The market scored a rally after midday on account of covering by shorts, but when a demand from this source bed been satisfied, values weakened again and closed near the bottom level ot the session. Corn and oats, like wheat, were with out any aggressive support. September delivery of corn fell to the lowest price in 18 years. Higher quotation on hogs gave some firmn'e to proviaiona. The Chicago grain letter, received yes terday, by the Overbeck k Cook company of Portland, follows: Wheat Sentiment wa rather mixed today, but It wa quite apparent from the outset that the vulnerable portion of ths short interest had covered on yesterday's bulge and the market wa Inherently weak. The Important news of tho day was undeniably against higher price.. There was evidence of some re-selling by exporters In the southwest and Chicago people In close touch with the export situation claim that such offerings are being received daily and that the smsll business reported worked from tlm to tlm Is strictly to fill ocean tonnage. We have heard considerable talk lately of an Improved domestic flour trade, however, our Information now Is very much the reverse, potential buyers claiming that they are being offered flour at substan tial concessions under quoted price. The cash demand is by no means keen except for the very best grades, there seems little doubt but that foreigners bought too murh wheat earlier In the season, based on the Kuropean drouth and until they are able to dispose of their surplus purchases, we do not look zor a sustained advance in our market Corn Heavy receipt and advice of further liberal offerings from the country completely overshadowed complaints of crop deterioration. The casb demand again was Inadequate and the spot basis was reduced an additional 1 cent a bushel. All argument to tbe effect that corn la sell ing below Its Intrinsic value count for naught with the pressure of cash grain ex ceeding the demand. Oats A lower cash market Induced selling by longs, which, combined with s moderate volume of hedging pressure from the northwest. Imparted weakness to the futures. Country offering wer reported light. Rye Buying of December ry against sales of December wheat was the only feature today. Cash rye was Inactive and nominally 8 cent under Dacember for No. 2 on track. Leading future ranged ss follows: WHEAT. Ooen. High. 91.22 1.27 CORN. .50 .05 OATS.
