EXPORT DEMAND LACKING Cheaper Argentine Wheat Supplies Europes Wants and Orientals Expect to Buy in Australia The wheat market wu firmer yesterday With the eastern advance and bld were 1 cent higher on all grades at the Mer chants' Exchange, but there wai no im provement in the export situation. Offer ing! of Pacific coast wheat to Europe met With no response except t prices which could not te considered. Low Argentine prices are a bar to shipments from this quarter and no export movement In vol ume is likely until there is a readjustment f value. In the same way oriental busi ness Ls expected to be diverted to Aus tralia, when that country begins moving its new crop. Wheat trading in the country was reported light. The coarse-grain market was slow and generally easy. Gray oats were SO cents lower and feed barley was down $1. Janu ary No. 2 corn was 25 cents lower. Export business done In the east was confined to Manltobas, 1,500,000 bushels being worked, according to a report from Toronto. The Liverpool wheat market closed d to Hd lower. Unofficial estimates put the Australian wheat crop this year a.t 12,0000,000 bush els, against 152, 000,000 bushels a year ago and 44.000,000 bushels two years ago. Broomhall cabled that prospects for the Indian crop are excellent In the Punjaub. Argentine shipments this week were 683.0O0 bushels of wheat, 1,311,000 bushels f corn and 131,000 bushels of oats.

Preliminary estimates of the 1022 sugar crop for all the Islands of the Hawaiian group, made public by A. M. Nowell, gen eral manager of the Sugar Factors, Ltd., are 521,000 tons, a shrinkage from the 1021 estimated total of approximately 20,000 tons. The Hawaiian outturn in 11)17 was 644,000 tons. Mr. Nowell bases his estimates upon figures obtained from every plantation managed In the Islands, and has prepared harts showing the production by Islands and the shipments by ports. According to the estlmaten, the Island cf Hawaii, the largest In the group, still leads In sugar production followed by the Islands of Maui, Oahu and Kauai In the order named. Honolulu remains the principal sugar exporting point, with to tal shipments of 217,000 tons. The grow Sng Importance of the city of Hllo as a ugar port Is shown by the fact that Its estimated exports for next year are 127,200 tons. The total 1922 production Is consider ably less than that of 1019. the last nor mal year, when the harvest of all the plantations was 587.000 tons. Among the principal factors contributing to this year's decrease Is the lack of plantation labor. BCYEKft SEEK LOW PRICED APPLES Trading Limited at Interior Shipping Points Eastern Markets Quiet.

Farmers' week, which ended its four-day session here Thursday, had an average dally attendance of 70, more than twice that of last year. The final day was devoted to irriga tion. Kxperts from the Oregon Ag ricultural college were the chief speakers. STOCK ADVANCE GENERAL INVESTMENT KAILS LEAD WITH 1 TO 2-rOIXT GAINS. Better Industrial Conditions, Easy Money and Improvement in Exchange Are Factors. NEW YORK, JaJi. 13. Dealing in stocks today were more active and diversi fied than at any previous session of the week, many standard iues making sub stantial gains. Continued case of money, strength of foreign exchange and signs of an early forward movement In the basic industries stimulated the advance. Investment rails led the movement at rains of one to two points. Equipments, as well as miscellaneous specialties, chief ly of the food and chemical group, nade similar or greater gains, but oils and steels lacked their usual prominence. Sales amounted to 650,000 shares. The official rate for call loans remained at per cent, but that figure was shaded to 3 per cent on prime collateral in private offerings. The unprecedentedly large goll holdings of the federal reserve bank are said to have Influenced the more liberal supplies of time money. Regardless of the tension created abroad by the French political crisis, foreign ex changes rose appreciably. Sterling gained lc but reacted later. Dealings In Brit ish, French and Dutch bitis were large. Neutral exchanges were stronger in the main and the better tone extended to new nationals. encouraging features of the domestic industrial situation were contained la the announcement that Calumet & Hecla con templates early resumption of production in its copper fields and in the revival of activity In the Pennsylvania tinplate mins. Transactions in bonds again assumed large proportions. United States war lssuee contributing their usual quotas. Liberty Issues were under further profit-taking, but victory 4 s made a new high at 100.315. Foreign bonds were undisturbed by the situation across the water, French government and United Kingdom of 1932 showing marked strength. Total sates, par value, aggregated 45.500,000.

Prospects of a lib eral reduction of the visible supply total on Monday helped to turn wheat prices upward today after an early decline. The close was unsettled, c to lc net nigner, with May $1.11 to $1.11 and July $1 to $1.00H. Corn lost He to hi 9 c, oats finished unchanged to a jhade higher, and provisions varied from 2V4c decline to 40c advance. The fact that overnight developments in the French cabinet crisis were generally given a bearish construction as affecting he wheat trade, did a good deal to bring about selling In the first half of the day, and to depress values to a moderate ex tent. Lter, howover, more optimism was shown regarding the French political sit uation and the general European outlook. Attention of traders then turned to such builixh factors as a better domestic mill ing demand for wheat and to a material decrease of primary receipts as compared with a year ago. Corn and oats averaged lower as a re sult of an apparent slackening in export inquiry for corn. Buying of hogs strengthened the pro visions market. The Chicago grain letter received yes terday by the Overbeck as Cooke company of Portland follows: Wheat It was quite well demonstrated todav that sentiment at present is sub ject to radical and sudden changes. The bearish feeling noticeable at the close yesterday and early today was tempered by further evidence that a strong cash situation is developing. Before the close prices advanced about 2"4 cents from the low point and opinions In general were as bullish as they were bearish yesterday. Strange enough there was no change in the export situation, but they seemed to forget all about Argentine competition and were more inclined to bullish ideas on the prospective supply and the conditions in our own country. All the clearances from the seaboard this week have ben small, but a substantial reduction is looked for in the visible supply statement Monday with the disappearance going down to the ac count of domestic consumption. Crop re ports from the southwest continue un favorable as It is claimed recent rains were insufficient. Bulls will likely be con fronted with many obstacles during the next few weeks on which we look for prices to work steadily higher. In the meantime, there Is a minimum of risk in making purchases on the setbacks. Corn Trade was rather evenly divided and the market In consequence made lit tle headway in either direction. The big; surprise was that prices do not recede under the pressure of selling by cash houses against country purchases, espe cially as the shipping demand came to an abrupt end for botli domestic and for eign account. It Is the opinion, however, that this letup ls only temporary, as there were bids in the market Just below a work able basis. We expect this market to five an excellent account of itself. Oats An undercurrent of strength was apparent in the face of rather liberal sell ing by elevator interest and local longs. Cash prices were without important change.

Dun's Review to morrow will say: The development of general activity In business Is still delayed, but the prospect of further gradual revival remains. An nual inventories have not yet been com pleted In all Instances, causing temporary deferment of new commitments and many Interests are disposed to adhere to a con servative policy. While confidence has unmistakably strengthened, different uncertainties make for continued caution and rapid commer cial expansion Is not to be expected. A number of factors will, however, encourage the release of some orders that have been held In abeyance and the large attendance of merchants In certain primary markets occasions favorable comment. The easing In money rates, which hss been extended In the new year, is one of the constructive forces present, and the comparative stability of wholesale prices serves somewhat to lessen hesitation In buying. With recognition of existing con ditions of unemployment and their effect on the public consuming capacity, dealers demands to cover probable future re quirements are chiefly of moderate sixs, although appearing more frequently Weekly bank clearings were $0,0f.l. 006,000.
