SECOND CUT THIS MONTH Best Bakers' Flours Decline 2 0 Cents Soft Valleys, Straights Are Also Lower. family patent floor wai reduced 40 cnta and the beat grades of bakers' flour 20 cents a barrel yesterday. Theso de cline wera bajiad on the- lower wheat arlces that prevailed In tha first half of tha week.

Local flour trade was active up to the time of the previous decline on October 7 and then fell off materially, aa waa to be expected with the wheat market sag ging. The present decline, coupled with the stronger wheat market, should have the effect of stimulating business and the 'nrtlla are looking forward to a good turn over. The future course of wheat prices cannot, of course, be foreseen, but moat men Identified with the flour etrade be lieve that flour prices, are now aa low as they will go this season. A, good export flour trad ha been worked and while the demand at the mo i ment Is small, particularly for European account, there .are proapecta of a re vival In buying later. No change was mad In any of the divisions of the mlllfeed market, where the demand was fair. WHEAT BIDS ARB AGAIN RAISED No Selling Reported In Farming Section. Export Trad Quiet. Wheat prices continued their recovery yesterday, but there was very little busi ness In any quarter. No new develop ments were re-ported In the- export trade here.

The last cargo of Hawaiian sugar under contract to local refiners has Just arrived, and some 13.000 tons of Philippine island cen trifugals have also Just come in. After these are absorbed It would seem that several refiners will be in need of more sugar for their current meltings. What has mainly operated since our last report to undermine the market and restrict buy ing has been ths resorting by certain re. flners to irregular methods of selling their uroduct the giving .of special rebates and guarantees, etc. which has invited open competition and price cutting upon the part of others CCBE BUTTER 19 IN FAIR 8CPPLY Egg Market Steady, With Gradual Increase in Receipts. Cube butter was offered at a wide range of 42 ',4 844 cents, according to grade. There was a fair supply on th market and ths demand was not brisk. The egg trade was also slow. Arrivals from the country show a smsll but stesdy gain and this with the free offerings of storsgs eggs give the market a slightly easier appearance, but prices have not been changed. Th. poultry market was weak with a good supply on hand. Country dressed meats, particularly veal, were hard to sell and prices were weak. SpED PROTECTION 19 PBOPOBED Idaho Growers U Market Their Product Under Trade Mark. CALDWELL, Idaho. Oct. 81. (Special.) Henceforth Idaho alfalfa and clover seed will be marketed under a trade mark, ac cording to plans by the Western Seed Growers' Marketing company at a meet ing here yesterday. The course was ne cessitated, according to H. C. Grimm, Idaho Falls, president, because of the custom of eastern distributors in blending the highly-colored Idaho seed with the Inferior product of other sections. The market price of the blended prod uct has been the basis of the price re ceived by the Idaho grower of high seed. The value of the Idaho seed crop this year Is estimated at more than a million dol lars. Oregon Tokay Grapes Higher. Receipts of southern Oregon grapes are falling off and tha market is advancing. Tokays were quoted yesterday at $2.50 to 13 a lug. Local Concords were In fair supply and were again quoted at 68 cents a pound loos. California red Em perors were unchanged at 19 cents a pound.

BOND lift RISE TO PROVIDE WORK Employment to Follow Sale of . Securities. NEW CYCLE TO START lowering of Interest Rates Reflects Growing Accumulation of Investment Funds. Th revival of business Is th subject which occupies entirely th mind of today of bankers and business men. If this re vival comes from natural causes th con dition of th money market 1 th mtst Important factor to consider. Th beginning of a business eycl pre supposes easy monev conditions. This causes a rise In bond price. High bond price Induce corporation, cities and state to offer their securities for sale to ob tain fund for new construction work. The Increase la new construction provide em ployment at the factories and as payrolls become larger wholesalers and retailers experience a broader demand for merchan dise. - Bond Price Bis Welcomed. Thus a good bond market begets fac tory employment and merchandising ac tivity. For this reason the upward drift In bond prices during the last three months should be welcome to trad union leaders and employers. There are numerous signs that th public Is ready to absorb new security issues of large amounts. Argentina sold 950.000.000 of securities In Wall street. This will tend to relieve depression In Buenos Aire and Improve the market for American factory products In Argentina. This should be welcome to the United Ptates. a South America ha been one of the embarrassing trade outpost. It was one of the big items in damming up exporting through inability of merchant to pay for and market goods which had been ordered from American factories. Sale to Provide Work. y Recently more than 935.000.000 of equipment trust securities have been sold and this will tend to provide employment In th car and locomotive shops. Simi larly, In residential building the improve ment tn the mortgage market and the de cline In money rates below 6 per cent will produce increasing activity in residential building. Commercial discounts and stock exchange loans are now below 0 per cent. The best class of bankers acceptance are ac tually below 5 per cent. The relaxation In these quotations reflects a growing ac cumulation of Investment funds without which there could be no general revival In employment and trade activity.

Oct. 21, Wheat price took a decided upward wlng today. Influenced more or lea by belief in vaxloua quarter that the president and hi cabinet would find a solution tor th threatened railroad trik. The market closed strong. 3H to 4feo net higher, with December $luS to $1.084, end May S1.12 to S1.12fe. Corn gained fee to fee and oata Wo to , In provisions, th outcome varied from the same as yesterday's finish to. &c higher. Not withstanding the breakup of the parley here between the railway union representatives and the government labor board, price for wheat bad an upward Impetus. Speculator led the movement, and offerings were so readily absorbed that shorts hurried to cover and tbua aided the advance. Word that Europe had taken 1,000,000 bushel of durum and Manitoba counted, too. aa a bullish factor and so did genra.l recognition that for several day the market had been acting a if oversold. Improved demand for flour tended further to help the advance of wheat. Definite announcement of the call ing of a new conference her to deal with the railroad strike situation waa made juat after the day trading had been ended. Corn and oats reflected the strength of wheat Offerings were smalt Provisions rose with hogs snd grain. Be side packers were understood to be ac cumulating stocks to meet any emergency from th threatened strike. The Chicago grain letter, received yes terday by the Overbeck & Cooke company ui Portland, follows: Wheat It waa a strong market through out the session, despite the faot that local sentiment, was bearish. The conviction that lower prices are to be established has become so general that the trade com pletely ignored- the importance of export buying at a time when the market nai been thoroughly liquidated. The seaboard confirmed 1,000,000 bushels as having been worked for export and from the looks of things a much larger amount is likely to be reported later in the day. The rail road situation Is becoming more serioui with both sides apparently anxious for a final ahowdown. There i quite a diver gene of opinion as to the possible effect ot a railroad strike, but with a prolonged tieup of trafUc we cannot see where shorts would have any the best of it with only about 600,000 bushels of contract wheat in Chicago. A report that the Italian government had bousht several cargoes of wheat waa denied, but the purchase no doubt was made by Individual Italian importers, as th Italian govern ment hai lately encouraged purchases. Corn The buying of corn futures for eeveral daya has been far more Impres sive than the selling and the market to day reflected a better feeling. Spot offer ings were again in good demand at high er prices and country offerings to arrive were reported light. Disappointing husk ing returns continue to come from Illi nois and Indiana points and many re ceivers are now beginning to doubt that the new crop will be marketed as rapidly aa previously expected. Oats At no time during the day was there any particular pressure on this mar ket and consequently prices advanced easily with other grains. Cash was half a cent higher, with shipping demand fairly good. Rye Trad was light, but there wan less hedging pressure from the northwest and the strength in wheat induced short covering.

Rejection bv ths railroad anions ot .ths plans proposed by the railroad labor board to avert a atrlks effected ddeclin. of 1 to 2 points amors transportations in th. first halt ot today's stock market. These losses were partly retrieved when Mexican Petroleum became ths leader of a drive against the short, and announce ment came that the brotherhood cruets and. railroad executive, had been cited to appear before tha labor board next week. Early reversals extended to steels, rub bers and leathers, the former beinc ren dered more vulnerable by th. poor state ments of sarnlng-s issued by ths Lacka wanna and Republic asmpanles. Equip ments pursued a contrary course, how ever, and motors axreng-thened with util ities and numerous merchsndislna shsres. Popular oils forged ahead almost from ths outset, foreign Issues leading. Even Royal Dutch, which recently lost ground on selling attributed to Dutch Interests, Ignored th. proposed senatorial Investiga tion Into Its activities here. Mexican Pe troleum registered an extreme advance of nearly ft points sod all but a fraction of thla. was held at the finish, General As phalt and Houston also showing substan tial support, gales wer. 475.000 sharas. Call loan, opened at--4 per cent, but th. demand for funds over the week-end was large enough to force the rate to 5 per cent shortly after mid-day without alteration, however, to Urn. quotations. New England and westsrn bsnks were In the market for merchants' paper.. Sterling forfeited part of yesterday's sharp rls. and exchange on France. Italy, Belgium and Germany eased, but Hol land, Norway. Sweden and Spain Improved and th. Shanghai rate advanced In re sponse to London's higher pries of silver. Buying of Ubeftty and victory Issues, all at moderate to substantial gains, fea tured the lighter trading in bonds, Do mestic rails reflected ths heaviness of stocks, but foreign Issues were dsvold ol especial features.

NEW YORK.. Oct. 2L Dun's Review tomorrow will eay: Possibility of a widespread railroad striks was not without Influence on busi ness this week, but caused no conspicu ous disturbance. Belief -that a walkout would be averted was strengthened as action toward that end was taken and early unsettiement arising from the threatened trouble was mainly confined to speculative markets. While requests to expedite shipments of goods under order were mads in some Instances, there was no general anxiety regarding supplies of merchandise and forward demands were not appreciably affected. Prospect of lower freight rate Is entering Into calculations, but th disposition to defer commitments pending developments In this connection is manifested In comparatively few quarters. , . Despite th existing uncertainties and retarding factors, the commercial revival Is making gradual progress, and the slowly rising trend of production continues In evidence. .
