at Eastern Points.
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.

AUSTRALIAN Sl'GAR CHOP REDUCED
Total Twenty Thousand Tons Less Than
In 1021.
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.

7 0 Farmers Meet Dally.
GRANTS PASS. Or., Jan. 14. (Spe

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.

CHICAGO MARKET CLOSES
IIIG1IBR AFTEK DECLINE.
1-arge Decrease In A'isible Supply
Total Is Expected Monday; Bet
ter Milling Demand for Grain.
CHICAGO, Jan. 13. 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. Country offerings to arrive con
tinue light.
Rye The only feature wns some buy
ing of rye futures against sales of wheat
at about 2814 cents difference. Cash rye
was nominally steady at M cents under

BUSINESS CONFIDENCE IS STRONGKH
Prospect Good for Further Gradual Revival
In Trade.
NEW YORK. Jan- 13. 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
