LARGE PART OF CROP
STILL TO BE SOLD
About 34,000,000 6ushels of
Wheat in Northwest.

up to that of a year ago."
Weekly bank clearings were $6,090,309,-

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:

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

BOSTON, Dec. 9. The Commercial Bul

"While thrn h;is been rather less specu

market has Inst none of its strength. In
deed, the manufacturers have felt obliged
to come into the market for a fair quan
tity of wool and to have kept the tone of
the market vry strong-. 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.
"The goods market Is still In the dol
drums, repeat order being of minor pro
portions. Although the dress goods manu
facturers continue to get some orders. The

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.

LOWER RATES FAIL TO HELP
STOCK MARKET.
Specialties Close at Mixed Gains
and Losses Victory Notes
Are Higher.
NJCW YORK. Dec. 9. Further pro
nounced diminution of dealings In stocks
and bonds marked today's session of the
stock exchange, although money rates
easvd and most other developments were
oi a ravoraMe character.
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.
Various dormant issues of no particular
description weakened In the absence of
pool support. Columbia Graphophone com
mnn and preferred broke sharply m a re
suit of voluntary bankruptcy proceedings
involving the Pathes-Freres Phonograpn
company. Sales amounted to 575. OOO shares.
The money market reversed Its course of
the previous day, the &H per cent opening
rate for call loans easing to 5 per cent
at midday. Time funds a!so relaxed, more
30 and 00-day loans being made at 4H.
Foreign exchanges forfeited part of their
buoyant advance. Sterling reacted almost 1
cent. The German rate was steady, but
quotations to central European countries
and the far east were Irregularly lower.
Victory notes were the only United States
war flotations to show gains at the close
of the session, all liberty issues giving way
to further profit taking. Foreign bonds
also were moderately lower. United King
doms reacting to the uncertain develop
ments In the Irish situation. Gains among
domestic rails were balanced by reversals,
especially In convertible Issues. Total sales,
par value, $16,850,000.

Heavier Foreign Buying Has Bull
ish Effect on Cliica-go Market.
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:

The ANSWER
When the contract was let for
pnvomenl on the Morrison - street
brtdfa, the usual questions for dis
cussion arose concerning specifi
cations, etc. All these questions
wen tnswered In a sentence b
the authorities, who said: "Simply
make It like the pavement on
Hawthorne bridge." Incidentally,
this answer served as a testimonial
for Warrenlte - Bltullthlc. because
the pavement on Hawthorne bridge
was laid over five years ago. and
suatAins more heAvy traffic than
iny pavement In the city.
