Slf LARGE PART OF CROP STILL TO BE SOLD About 34,000,000 6ushels of Wheat in Northwest. trade in money value does not measure up to that of a year ago." Weekly bank clearings were $6,090,309,- 000. FARMERS HOLDING BACK Jjlghtness of Offerings Kcops Mar kot in Firm Position Despite the Small Demand. Wheat prices continued their advance yesterday with the markets firm at all point. Bids on hard white, cluh. soft white, northern spring and hard winter were 1 cent higher than Thursday the Merchants' Exchange. There was not much buying In this territory, hut In view of the very small quantities offered by farmers, the buying was sufficient to keep the market In line with the advance elsewhere. New export business Is still lacking. The Japnnese are not buying American wheat on the Pacific coast and they have not bought round lots for several weeks. Flour business with the orient Is Impossible, as cables received during the day showed that Australian mills were offering flour materially under the American price. Al though export business for European ae count is being worked In the east, the bids coming to their market are out by 3 to 5 cents. A feature of the situation unfavorable to sellers Is the stiffening of ocean freight rates. With steamers going in increased numbers to Vancouver. B. C. tonnage Is becoming scarce for Columbia river load tog. This port put afloat In November the equivalent of 5.179.780 bushels of wheat but the movement out in December will be decidedly less. Statistics compiled by the Merchants Exchange show wheat and flour shipments from all north rncifie ports from July 1 to November 30. Inclusive, of 33.92S.91 7 bushels. Of this amount about 5. 000, 000 bushels was old crop wheat exported In July. On the basis of these figures. It appears there are still some 34.000,000 bushels of wheat of this year's crop to be disposed of, as shown by table: of line the following Crop tributary to const. Home consumption ....

Advices from Vancouver, B. C were that some wheat was worked there to the orient lote Thursday. Russell's News bu reau reported 300.000 to 400,000 bushels old in the east for export. Liverpool wheat yesterday closed Vd higher. Buenos Aires wheat opened 1 cent higher. North American exports of wheat and flour this week are estimate at ft.OO0.000 bushels and corn at 1.500.000 bushels. Argentine wheat shipments this week were .140.000 bushels.

There has been some .strength added to prices not only of medium Btmd-as. but also of the finer wools, especially wools of (rood staple. The trade Is more encouraged over tariff prospects.

BEAK RAID ON RICE MARKET Japanese Buyer Force California Prices to Low Level. The recent slump In the Tice market of California, according to Ralph Merrltt, head of the, California Rice Growers' as sociation, was the result of a bear raid of Japanese buyers on the American market. Mr. Merritt Is quoted as saying: "The millers have been expecting the California rice harvest, because ,.ot fa vorable weather conditions, would be much heavier than usual this year, and for this reason have believed that the California farmer would be ready to accept low of fers, as he has been low In finances. Tho fact Is that the crop this year will be about 2..1O0.O00 bags, as compared with an average of 4,000,000 bags during the last four years. This Is the result of an un certain market and the light acreage. "Another factor Is the lack of export orders In the south and a consequent low market there. California millers have been following the southern market. There Is no reason for this, ss California has the barrier of distance from the southern fields and the 2 per cent emergency tariff from foreign fields. "Japan must have 1,200.000 pounds of rice in 1022 from somewhere. She comes here after It because the Japanese prefer the California rice to the Saigon rice, for Instance, as the rice we grow is the Jap anese rice. Her buyers make low of fers and the millers. In order to ho.d their business, try to buy from the California farmer at impossibly low prices." C A N NED TOMATO S L P P LY . SHORT Pack This Year Only 40 Per Cent of That of 1020. According to th United States depart ment of agriculture in Its November re port the output of canned tomatoes In the United States durng 1921 Is 4,360,000 cases compared with a total pack of 11.368,000 cases In 1020. This leaves a shortage of fl.S08.0On cases, making the 1021 pack about 40 pr cent that of 1020. With a very light carryover from tho 1020 pack in hand and with government s'ecks cleared, tho visible supply of canned tomatoes totals only about 5.300.000 cases, allowing 1.000.000 casea for the carryover. At this time last year the visible stocks amounted to 14.36S.OOO cases. CI BE BUTTER MARKET IS HEALTHY Decline In Eggs Temporarily Checked. Poultry Is Steady. The butter market was firm with no over-supply of any grade. There as a good demand for the top grades for which sellers asked 40 to 41 cents. Eggs were steady at unchanged prices. A number of cars have been shipped out, which has cleared the situation temporarily. but barring very unfavorable Weather the decline is likely to be resumed soon. There were fair receipts of poultry and aside from weakness in light hens, prices were steady. Country dressed meats were unchanged. Bank Clearings.

The trend of prices was uncertain In the first half of the session, demand and supply being equally divided, but short covering resulted In a firm close. Steels, equipments, coppers and oils represent e the more stable Issues, while motors, ship pings, secondary rails and food and tobacco specialties yielded to pressure.

Germany May Need Wheat. CHICAGO, Dec. 9. European buying on a large scale, although devoted mostly to Canadian offerings, had a bullish in fluence today on the wheat market here. Prices closed firm, c to lc net higher, with May S1.15t$1.15 and July $1.U3 $1.02. Corn finished c off to a shade advance, and oats unchanged to c lower. In provisions the outcome varied from 5c decline to a gain of 20 cent. Estlmatea of the amount of wheat bought for Europe today ran above 1.5oo, 000 bushels, and gossip waa current that there had been a resumption of ordora from Germany. Erroneous reports that Germany had been granted a moratorium counted also at times as a stimulus to bullish sentiment and tended to make pit shorts run td cover, especially near the end of the session. Earlier, however, up turns in price led to much profit-taking by tongs. The chief factor which induced a willingness to realize on holdings waa knowledge that receipts at Minneapolis and Kansas City today appeared suffi cient to assure at least for the present a plentiful supply to domestic consumers. Corn and oats were steadied by the relative, firmness of wheat. Besides, ex port demand for corn continued on a fairly liberal seals. Provisions averaged higher with hogs. The Chicago Grain letter received yes terday by the Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland follows: Wheat Trade was small during the fore noon, but broadened materially toward the close with the market en the up-grade on buying stimulated by bullish news item, emanating principally from the seaboard. Up to the close only a moder ate amount was worked for export, but It was the general opinion of interests in close touch with the trade that a aub stantiai business was being done in Amer lean aa well tu Canadian wheat. One item reported was that Germany had been granted a moratorium and, although con firmation was lacking, ttie fact that ex porters had cables from Germany asking for offers and making bids for wheat, corn and rye seemed to indicate that if they had not already aecured the desired extension it is anticipated in the near future. Ail spot 'markets had a firm tone and bids out of Chicago afor No. 2 red wheat, were advanced to a basis of 8 cents over December, against 3 cents premium esrly yesterday. Wheat is in a strong position and will only need a few days of bullish news uch as was dis tributed today to give momentum to the upward tendency. Corn Held within a narrow range, dus principally to a disinclination on the part of potential buyers to follow the ad vances. There was nothing in the news of a bearish sort, aside from a temporary lull In the domestic cash demand which, however, waa due to the fact that sellers were asking higher prices in comparison with the futures. Shipping sales were lib eral and Included a good quantity to ex porters. .The demand at the seaboard again waa reported as active. Advices from down state say farmers are assum ing a more independent attitude and not only refusing to sell but are not even in terested in prices. Oats There was good buying of fu tures on the small decline early, which had the benefit of giving the market a strong apearance at the close. The cash demand waa not particularly keen, but was fully equal to the offerings and prices wore firm. A bullish opinion on this mar ket must be based on prospective rather thajt immediate conditions, as thedaupply available on the surface appears to be burdensome, but will disappear rapidly, coincident with any broadening of the demand. Rye Trade was pnusually quiet with outside Interest utterly lacking. Cash market was steady with No. 2 on track quotable at 1 cents over December. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT.
