20 THE MORNING OREGONIAtf, WEDNESDAY, 31 AT 24, 1923 MTTdSTK IN ALL MARKETS Local Exchange Bids Raised One to Two Cents. BETTER DEMAND REPORT Room lor Twenty-Five Cent Ad vance in July Delivery Ac cording to Whelan. There was a stronger undertone In the Wheat market and a better demand for club at around $1.28, with offerings rather limited. Bids at the Merchants' Exchange were 2 cents higher on hard white and 1 cent higher on all other grades. Coarse grains were unchanged on bid. The Chicago wire to the Gray-Rosenbaum Grain company follows: "Deliveries heavy, but May stronger on closing spreads here and Winnipeg. Over Mid condition of the market was largely responsible for the advance. Reports of improved export demand, causing shorts covering. Receipts heavy and market technically weakened. Further advance depending on buying power, which is not eipt to Increase present conditions." Paul N. Whelan, of E. F. Hutton tt Co., in a special wire to Herrin & Rhodes of Portland, says: "Confirmation of Mr. Goodman's anal ysis of the wheat condition in the south west in a dispatch from Texas and later in the day from Wichita, Kan., gave the wheat market an upward impulse and landed prices at higher levels. The run of news for some time now .should be bull ish and the new-crop options should do tetter. "The Jump of 6t4 cents for May wheat was in many respects the most interesting feature of the day in all markets and served to substantiate the idea that recent marking down of the price for the spot delivery in Chicago was forced and artifi cial. Export sales of 700,000 bushels, mainly JAanltobas, worried the shorts and induced covering. "This country is now practically on a domestic basis and with the European buying resumed and South America and Australia in a comparatively weak posi tion to supply world demands, we feel that there is room for a 25-cent advance in July wheat. In a special wire to the writer, Peter S. Goodman informs us that from January 1 this year the Argentine has shipped 80,000,000 bushels of wheat abroad against 36,000,000 for the same period last year. "We do not think the May delivery Is a suitable purchase for an outsider in the grain markets, but we do continue to feel hullish on the July options of both wheat .nd coarse grains." ' Liverpool wheat options closed 7Ad lower to !id higher at lis 9d for May, lis 6d for July and lis l?4d for September. Spot wheat was Id lower at 12s 8d for Mani tobas and lis 9d for No. 2 red winter. Australian was unchanged. The Buenos Aires wheat market opened 1 cent lower at ?1.28V4 for June and tl.30 tor July. Broomhall's Argentine cable follows: '"Weather conditions favorable . for new crop preparations and satisfactory prog ress 1s being made. Foreign demand for wheat has been rather slow. Country of ferings are in fairly good supply and the markets display a slightly easier tone." The Canadian wheat visible decreased 1,878,000 bushels to 27,368,000 bushels. Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat Bar. Fir. Oats. Hay.

Marketing of live hens has shown a ma terial Increase, due to the laying and set ting seasons being pretty well advanced, end this has caused some slight decline in the maTket price. There is a good demand, however, for dressed poultry and the gen eral prospects are for prices to rule around present levels, possibly a little lower, says the produce review of Swift & Co of Chi cago. Production of eggs is about normal for this time of the year and as the consum ing demand Is lighter, there is a larger Quantity going into storage, which has had a tendency to cause lower market values. As the weather continues to grow warmer particular care should be given by pro . ducers to see that eggs are gathered daily, kept In cool places and marketed several times each week. The production of butterfat is about normal for this time of year, and as the consuming demand has been heavy, mar kets have shown some advance. However, as there will be a surplus from now on which will move to storage it is natural to look for lower values. TWO-CENT KI8E IN BUTTER PRICE Market Responds to Seattle Advance In , Face of Larger Make. There will be a two-cent advance local butter prices this morning to the 40-cent basis for prints. Butter fat buy ing quotations will be advanced a slm ilar amount. The rise was made neces ary by an upturn in Seattle butter and cream prices. With production steadily Increasing, the advance can only be temporary. Eggs were steady at former prices with a fair demand. Poultry was weak at 19S23 cents for hens and 25 cents for broilers. Young cucks were weak at 32 cents. Old ducks were offered at 20 cents, but were hard to move. Dressed veal cleaned up readily half cent advance. at riRST OREGON BERRIES RECEIVED Shipments Arrive From Dillard, Rose- burg and Grants Pass.

Prospective or unsuccessful ranch ers will receive a free tour the latter part of June and will be shown these successful farms and have the meth ods explained to them. HIGHWAY BIDS SOLICITED Hood River County Court Plans for Koad Construction. HOOD RIVER, Or., May 28. (Spe cial.) The county court has adver tised for bids on a section of market road concrete paving, a little less than a mile from the city limits of the west side main road south into the orchard districts. The work will in volve approximately 860 cubic yards of earth grading. The paving will be 16 feet wide. Market paving operations were transferred this year from the east side, where about two miles of con crete pavement formerly was laid as a result of construction of the valley trunk of the Mount Hood loop high way up the east side of the valley.

ALL INDUSTRIES GAINING Appreciation in Values of Stocks and Bonds Gives Confidence; Savings Deposits Higb. BY RICHARD SPILLANE, (Copyright, 1922, by the Public Ledger Company, Published by Arrangement.) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. May 22. (Special.) To many men President Harding's statement that we are on the threshold of a new era and more than a business revival is in sight may have appeared overly optimistic Every man judges largely by his own line of endeavor. If his business is poor all business seems poor. He is inclined also to measure now by the yard-stick of the flush days of the war period and the days fol lowing the war rather than the period before the war. He looks on the coal strike as the greatest in the nation's history in which there is no sign S3 yet of settlement, and the long drawn out textile strike in New England. Unquestionably conditions remain spotted but the spot3 gradually are becoming fewer. A look at foreign and domestic trade figures might be good medicine. Steel is of the major group of industries. Despite Genoa the foreign business of the steel corporations is increasing steadily. Cotton Exports Large. Despite the unsettled state of Europe our cotton exports thus far this fiscal year exceed 5,000,000 bales or equal to 55 per cent of the total American crop of 1921. The total foreign takings for the fiscal year probably will total 5,500.000 bales or 60 per cent for the 1921 crop. Our exports of copper have been big. So have our exports of grains. Exports of machinery show steady betterment and the improvement in exports of farming implements, tractors, har vesters, plows, reapers, eta, is pro nounced. Specialties are not in much demand but exports of cloths and clothings are quite satisfactory. It is not Europe alone but the other geographical divisions of earth that show well in these lines. A report of the John B. Stetson company is impressive. It says of its foreign hat business thus far this year: Australia very much better, Mexi co considerably large, Holland very good, England very good, New Zea land, where there was deep depression last year, orders now splendid. The most noticeable feature of our for eign trade is the demand for high priced goods. There is no reason at present to doubt that the export busi ness of the United States for 1922 will be greater than that of any year pre ceding the war." Farm Prices Improve. Improvement in the prices of wheat- corn, cotton, meats and other agri cultural products has made a good change for the better tn the farming Qistrlcts. This is reflected in general trade. Improvement m one of the manufactured lines is not so distinct because of the overexpansion of many industries in the war period, the na tlon today being overmachined. But n certain lines there has been a re markable revival. This is true par ticularly 01 lumber and automobiles. The lumber production, owing to the activity in general construction- promises to show a great Increase. I From a very low state of produc tion the automobile Industry has been Droadening until now there is pre diction that this will be the banner year in output of passenger cars. Demand for auto trucks is climbing. Orders for railroad equipment indi cate an excellent year. Road building is on a greatly increased scale and the building industry in all its branches, looks like one of the best years in a decade. In construction of dwellings 1922 will probably be the greatest in the history of the country. In construction of Industrial plants the year's showing will be poor. Retailers Are Careful. Merchandising ' linens show cross currents. Retailers as a rule continue to buy sparingly. Few stock up liberally, preferring that the manu facturer or jobber carry the goods. There has been a decided change, too. n the general attitude of the re tailers. Through the war period and for nearly two years afterward the manufacturer or jobber told the re tailer at what price he could buy the goods. The retailer could -take them or leave them. Now the retailer tells what prices he will pay. The manu facturer and jobber declare the re tailers are making mem the goats for what the retailers lost in the period of liquidation. . Retailing costs continue abnormally high owing to the change in the birying habits of shoppers. Buyers price goods, go from store to store and consume jo much time of sales persons thatit will require three salesmen to effect sales formerly made by two. Savings banks deposits are very high. Appreciation in the market prices of liberty bonds and in all classes of stocks and bonds has had a great effect on public confidence. It is to be presumed President Harding based his statement on re ports made to him by Secretary Hoover who is a pretty fair diagnos tician of foreign and domestic condi tions. Whether he is right or wrong the fact remains that although compara tively few men in business realize it fully, the improvement in condi tions within the last nine months is perhaps the greatest within a similal period in the history of the nation.

May Option Scores Extreme Gain '- of Five Cents Export De mand Is Renewed. CHICAGO. May 23. Decidedly higher prices for wheat today resulted largely from supposed indications that wheat ac cumulated in Chicago would be promptly moved out, with Europe furnishing good outlet. The market closed unsettled 414 cents net higher, Way $1.37 1.38 and July $1.251.2fl. Corn finished un changed to c higher, oats up 4lc and provisions unchanged to 12c off. On the extreme advance In the wheat market. May delivery showed an over night gain of 5c a bushel, but only lor a moment. Gossip about expected loans to central European countries to purchase supplies. Including grain, was current during the advance in prices. More at tention, however, was attracted to mes sages telling of a renewal of -export de mand at the seaboard and asserting that veBsel room to Europe was being en Brasred for shiDments from Chicago. Be sides, Chicago interests were credited with actively closing spreads between the May delivery here and In Winnipeg. Shorts In the wheat market scramDiea for the limited offerings available dur ing the last half of the day. Earlier the bulls were at a disadvantage for the time being, inasmuch as deliveries here on May contracts were heavy, 711,000 bushels and receipts in Chicago totaled 898 carloads. In addition, railroads west of here had ordered wheat shipments rushed to Chi cago, and were guaranteeing a 24-hour schedule for such shipments from points on the Missouri river. Under such circum stances, big deliveries here every remain ing day this month were expected. Corn and oats were governed by the action of wheat, but kept within narrow limits. Provisions averaged lower with hogs. The Chieaeo e-rain letter received yester day by the Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland follows: Wheat There was a much Improved feeling noticeable in the trade and prices responded in a convincing way to bullish news, of which there was plenty in circula tion. The most encouraging development of all was the evidence of a better milling demand here and at southwestern mar kets. The local spot basis was firm, fully reflecting the advance in Vay, while prices at St. Louis and Kansas Vity were also higher. There was more activity in export circles, with the seaboard reporting 600,- 000 to 700,000 bushels taken up to midday, including a cargo from cnicago via Aionr rt. The announcement that railroads are prepaied to rush wheat from Missouri river points to Chicago passed virtually un noticed, as there is a growing belief that the biggest part of the wheat available ror delivery on Mav contracts has been cleaned up. Looking forward, one fact to be borne in mind is that these liberal deliveries will nlace a larere proportion - of the available cash wheat in the hands of merchandisers with the grain at points of -ready distribu tion. We view the situation as one of de cided strength. Corn had a rather heavy tone early in the day, but later turned strong with wheat, and reports that offerings had diminished on the decline. It Is becoming more evident daily that country holders are not disposed to sell corn treeiy at pres ent prices. Weather conditions have .been unfavorable for plowing and planting, and it is now expected that acreage will turn out to be smaller than previously indicated. Conditions favor a gradual hardening of values. Oats There was less pressure -on the market today than there has been recently and some buying by interests recently iden tified with the selling side caused strength late in the session. The cash demand was more active and the trading basis firmer. Country offerings to arrive remain light. Rye Dull and easier, with little interest on either side. Cash rye firmer with a sale of No. 2 on track at 1 cent over May. There were no indications of any export demand. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.

Police and Fire Department Xot to Participate in System Planned for Other Divisions. Pension systems now in vogue m the police and iire bureaus will re main separate from the general pen sion system planned fof other city employes. This was decided yester day by the special pension commit tee composed of City Commissioners Pier, Bigelow and Barbur. Representatives of the police and fire bureaus, including Fire Chief Young and Chief of Police Jenkins, explained to the committee that the men were satisfied with the present pension arrangement and did not care to participate in the proposed plan. One of the main reasons, it was said, is that the proposed system lacks some of the liberal benefits of the present police and fire pen sion systems. It was decided by the committee that as soon as funds are available 1 .washinjton Wednesday rain, cooler east an actuary -would be appointed to.p0tlloo; strong southerly winds. - Chicago NewYork $1471 - St. Paul Proportionate Fares to Stopovers Final OPEN OBSERVATION CAR ON THE OLYMPIAN DINING CARS ON ALL THROUGH TRAINS MisrtiLif'H'" Between Portland, He., Boston.
