BEST GRADES ARE SCARCE
Complete Cleanup Before Xew Clip
Arrives Is Indicated Buying
Is Speculative.
The demand from the eaat for wool con
tinue atrong and stock here have been
further reduced thia week. It la estimated
that not ' over S.OOO.OOQ pounds remain in
local warehouses to be disposed of. Pricea
are on a firm baais and on some grades
advances have been recorded.
Of the wool remaining unsold In Port
land the larger part is classed as inferior.
When the market revived recently the
first buying was naturally of the finer
grades, and, with these about exhausted,
there la some inquiry for the lower wool
at a price. Woolmen here see no reason
why the buying should atop as long as
there 1 any wool to be sold.
The eastern buying continues speculative
and results from the extension of the
emergency tariff. The domestic wool clip
this year probably did not exceed 230,
000.000 pounds and mlth a virtual embargo
on Importations of foreign staple ai fear
has been created in the minds of dealers
that they may run short of wool to meet
future demands. This has led to me spec
ulative movement.1 In commenting on the
present situation, mall advice from the
east Hay:
'Manufacturers continue to be cautious
about buying, but dealers are figuring on
the futflre when thoy seek to strengthen
their position In the matter of stocks.
They are apprehensive of being caught
short of stocks when manufacturer get
ready to cover on heavyweight goods, sain
pies for which have been prepared; The
buying of medium sorts for knitting-yarn
purposes hns helped to create such appre
henHion, and so is a factor in the specu
lative movement. Wool houses, it is said,
have been willing to go outside thpir usual
line in buying of late, provided they could
Bee a quick turnover at a profit. All
grades of wool are selling, though medium
sorts continue to lead. ' .
in ine ncinnnnrnuou oi la.i'uu tmius ui

There was no change In wheat bid at
the Merchants' Exchange yesterday. The
market was reported quiet at all points,
with limited offerings by farmers.
with an advance of ?1 in bids for both
white and gray oats.
Fine weather was reported In Argen
tlna. At Hosarlo wheat closed firm and
2H4c higher and corn firm and 2
SVbc higher. Buenos Aires wheat 'opened
half lower and corn half higher. Liver
pool what openod 1 Hd lower and
corn unchanged to Id higher. A Chi
cago report said : 'It Is understood In
reliable quarters that there is a strong
possibility of a large export business in
domestic wheat with Russia. The business
Is held up at present on account of Russia
being unable to accumulate sufficient other
commodities to exchange for flour. Promt
nent cash buyers say on account of short'
age of potatoes in Europe they are tak
ing more corn and using it for starch. A
cash man say the producer Is being edu
cated to hold back his corn and after his
experience with forced liquidation on
wheat and oats, he is not likely to flood
the market with corn, especially in view
of the fact that the war finance corpora
tion 1 loaning money,, freely."

RAW WOOL IN Si-BONG POSITION
Result, of Government Sal. Encouraging- to
Holders.
BOSTON. Dec. 2. The Commercial Bul
letin tomorrow will .ay:
Business privately has been only fair
this week, more or less, natural reaction
having set in from the speculation of the
preceulng two weeks. Attention naturally
was focused on the government sale, which
the trade appeared to be waiting more or
less. The result of the sale, was very
conclusive evidence that the position ot
raw wool Is sarong In this country, the
catalogue being sold at average advances
ot 10 to 15 per cent.
In the goods market tbere is little change
on the whole. Some worsted mills on men's
wear report their business tapering off,
while demand at the dress goods mills is
slightly improved.

Speculative Selling Causes
Irregular Bond Market.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2. Stocks were active
and mainly higher today, rails proving the
only noteworthy exceptions. For the first
llm this week bond dealings were subor
dinated to the broad demand for specula
te c shares.
Heaviness of rails, which was somewhat
disappointing in view of yesterday's divl
tUi:ds on Chicago, Burlington ft Qulncy
an 1 Colorado & c)outhern. was attributed to
rumors that the large transportation sys
tems may soon com. Into the market for
money.
Steels, especially various Independent Is
sues mentioned in connection with the pro
posed merger, were the strongest of the
industrials. Equipments, shipping, and
motor accessories also were favored with
coppers, food specialties and utilities..
European oils were strong on the de
cision of Royal Dutch to pay dividend, in
cash and the Latin American oils also Im
proved. Standard Oils, notably the New
Jersey and California Issues, mad. new

The money market eased slightly, call

Bond were active, but further specula
tive selling contributed to the irregularity
m that quarter. Liberty Issues were steady
and large blocks of victory 4Vs changed
hends at par. Internationals reflected fur-the-
hesitancy In connection with the ru
mor, of a German moratorium. Total

Rumor of Failure of Germany's
Attempts to Obtain British
Loan Also Aids Bears. .
CHICAGO. Dec. 2. Promise of rain o
snow for drouth territory in the south
west operated as a handicap today on
bulls In wheat. Prices closed unsettled. c
net lower to c advance, with December
1 13Ji HI 1.1U and Mav 81.17 47' LIT
uin. L AIL. and oats t rft
c. In provisions, the outcome varied
from 6c decline to a like upturn.
Wheat prices showed considerable firm
ne.s in the eariv tradlnK and this was
ascribed chlefiv to absence of moisture
where most needed in the southwest. A
bearish Influence was talk of 111 success of
Germany', attempts to get a loan from
Great Britain. Declines which followed In
prices were partly offset at the last by
rallies, due to reports that ths Argentine
harvest was turning out less favorably than
h.rt Keen exneeted.
Wet weather, together with signs of
good export demand for corn, tended to
strengthen corn and oats. It was
hoped, too, that the war finance
meeting here would prove helpful toward
higher prices.
Provisions swayed In line with the
changes in the hog market.
The Chicago grain letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck Cooke company
of Portland follows: .
"Wheat It was a very Irregular market
most of the day with a feeling of inde
cision nrevalent. due to conflicting news,
bullish foreign advices being offset by re
ports of scattered rains in the southwest
and predictions of unsettled weather for
all states, with rain or snow tonlKht or
tomorrow. It Is our - idea that this Is
strictly a sentimental factor, which must
soon be forgotten in view of the exceed
ingly strong statistical position, which
must be applied to all old-crop months.
In our opinion the real bullish factors
have yet to be asserted In the market.
"Corn Declined with wheat, but at
times displayed Independent strength on
buying by shipping Interests, presumably
against sales of,cash grain. The seaboard
reports a good foreign demand and Broom
hall's cable said the corn situation in the
United Kingdom is getting much stronger.
due to the absence of pressure from Argentina,-
asweli as the United States. The
late buying was in- sntlclpatlon ot a con
structive announcement to come from ths
meeting of the war finance corporation in
Chicago today.
-"Oats Trade was well balanced and
without feature until late In the day, when
strength developed with other grains. The
market is steadily Increasing in favor with
investors."

BASIC CONDITIONS STRENGTHENED.
Demand Slower mm I snal at This Time of
Year.
NEW TORK. Dec 2. Dun's Review to
morrow will say:
A year which h& been marked by slow
ami uneven economic recovery nears an
ending with seasonal abatement of demand
in different Quarter, but with basic con
ditions strengthened. At this period, when
taking1 of Inventories requires attention in
primary channels, activity in other than
retail .circles Is not ordinarily witnessed
and wti not to be looked for In the present
Instance. That large operations have been
recorded in certain business branches, as
in the hide trade, merely Illustrates the
existing irregularities and the conservative
dealings In most directions are more rep
resentative of the generaj status of busi
ness. - .
Frequent reiteration of the statement
that many buyers are deferring important
action has been necessary this year. A fall
of about 40 per cent in wholesale prices
from the high level of 1920 naturally had
an unsettling influence everywhere and
the readjustment to a new basis of con
sumption, production and prices could not
be quickly effected.
Weekly bank clearings were $0,999,550.

Reserve Ratios of federal Banks
Show More Liquidity Than
Since .Before AVar.
Credit condition, continue to im
prove. Collections are reported bet
ter, practically throughout the coun
try. The status of the federal reserve
banks is now one of unassailable
strength. Not since the pre-war per
iod have either their reeerve ratio,
of their bill holdings .reflected such a
condition of liquidity as they do to
day. The fact that commercial rates
have not come down in a degree to
correspond with re.erve bank rates
is due to tbe extreme conservation
shown by the smaller banks, not
more than 40 to 60 per cent of these
Institutions redlscounttng with the
reserve banks.
The latter ar. thus without means of
releasing their surplus lending power,
since they must wait ' for the pres
entation of paper by member insti
tutions. Although there has been
some Increase in commercial failures,
It has been of a minor description and
reflects no new conditions in the com
mercial world. On the contrary, the
average business firm Is in better
position today to obtain accommoda
tion than for a long time past. Crop
moving demand is now apparently
over and funds have begun to flow
back to the eastern centers. This is
reflected by the reduction in inter
dlstrlct rediscounts.
...
According to the department of la
bor, the strikes for the first ix
month, of 1921 cost employee 91.179,
000,000, or at the ratio of 15.8 per cent
of the nation's industrial payroll. This
would mean a loss of nearly 92.350,
000.000 for the year, or nearly enough
to give 2,000,000 men 9100 a month for
a year.
According to a survey of the de
partment of commerce, under the di
rection of Secretary Hoover, there Is
construction work calling for the ex
penditure of 910,000.000,000 in this
country. The workers in the build
ing trades could have 95.000,000.000
of this, remarked o member of the
New: York Stock Exchange, if they
would agree to wage revision on a
basis that the industry could stand.
TJnimployment is more pronounced
in the building industry than in al
most any other line.
