THE MORNING' OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, MAT 25, 1922 24 GOOD CLEANUP OF i WHEflTISflSSURED Exports Will Take Care Remaining Supply. of GROWERS TO LOAD IN BULK Two Thousand Tons Go Aboard Stcumcr for London New i Crop Cargoes Sold. The wheat market yesterday failed to liuld Its gains of the preceding day and .i(h a severe slump at Chicago, prices vere lower here. Bids at the Exchange were reduced i cent on all grades, and rffers in the open market were also lower with 1.2 bid for club. The demand on the part of exporters was good, but they found sellers, as a rule, tight holders. It- is generally be l.eved that enough tonnage has been fixed to take care of all the wheat remaining !n the northwest, which would imply thtft this quantity of wheat has been sold abroad by exporters. It is also patent that many of the sales have not been covered, as it is known that several million bushels el wheat remain in the hands of farmers Under the circumstances, the firmness of the growers is not surprising. The Northwest Wheat Growers asso cfaled will this morning begin loading 2O00 'ung tons of wheat in bulk on the steamer IMnteldyk at terminal No. 4, for London The success of bulk loading, initiated here last year by the Gray-Rosen baum Grain Gmpany, prompted this step, and bulk handling of grain is expected to assume large proportions In the coming season V.'he Northwest Wheat Growers associated a. so loaded 40,000 bushels on the steamer Xainderdyk, which left Puget sound few days ago. There Is every prospect for a heavy movement of wheat out of Portland in June and exporting should continue active up to the time the new crop Is ready to frhip. Half a dozen cargoes of new crop v heat have been sold for August-Sep timber loading. Exporters have been making an effort to contract with growers for new wheat and are now offering on the basis of $1.15 or a. little more at tidewater. The dally Chicago wire to the Gray Rosenbaura Grain company follows: 0 "Foreign cables did not follow our ad ance,- turning market into very weak af fair, largely because, shorts had pretty Tell covered yesterday. Support poor ex ccpt at inside prices. May wheat weak and deliveries heavy. Difficult to offer ad vice. May wheat continuing the un Fettling feature. Receipts large, demand low, crop outlook favorable.' Liverpool wheat futures closed d. iuwer. Spot Australian and Manitobas were unchanged and No. 2 red winter 2d. higher at lis. Id. At Buenos Aires June wheat opened cents higher at $1.81. Russell's News Bureau says: "World's wheat supplies and requirements compared witfi last year are as follows: Afloat, July 1, and English port stocks 79,000,000 bushels versus 85,000,000 bushels; world's exports July 1 to May 15, 555,000,000 Lushels versus 821,000,000 bushels, total supply 634,000,000 bushels versus 621.000,- 000 bushels. Afloat and port stocks on Way 15, 110,000,000 bushels versus 02,000,000 bushels; world's disappearance of im pcrted wheat 574,000,000 bushels versus nptf,000,000 bushels. This disappearance of Imported wheat is 45,000,000 bushels more than last year and largely due to non European imports of 86.000,000 bushels.

I The forepart of the week was warm, ruushiny and . very favorable for crop germination and growth; the latter part war cooler with some needed precipita tion in a few western counties. While the warmer weather stimulated the growth of all vegetation it is backward in prac tically ail districts and farm work, as a rule, is still behind the average for the season, according to the Oregon weekly crop report of the weather bureau. . The seeding of barley, oats and spring wheat Is about finished, and the early own grain is looking well. Winter wheat and rye are generally good; are heading in western districts and the former is looking fine in northeastern counties as a lesult of the recent warm weather. Some torn planting is yet to be done; a few early plantings are up and being cul tivated. Apples have received the calyx spray in Josephine, and apple bloom has nearly dis appeared in Hood River county, where 1 berries have a good set. Pears appear to have set well in Jackson, but there KV complaint of much "blossom blight" In-Marion, while In Lane county both pears and prunes are dropping heavily. Home grown strawberries are on the market in l)ouglas county. Alfalfa made marked improvement un der the influence of warmer weather, it being 2 to 214 feet high In Umatilla coun ty, clover and timothy arc also doing well, but the stands are thin in many 1 r'aces. Pastures and ranges, while still Vackward, are gaining rapidly and will soon furnish ample grazing for livestock. Cattle and sheep are In fair to good con dition and quite a number are now on summer range. Sheep shearing has be gun in Malheur county, but was delated en account of rains, and there are com plaints of heavy loss of stock in Grant coynty since turning on to the range. Planting of late potatoes continues; early varieties are making good growth and in Jackson county are nearly ready to bloom; rome were set back by frost in Uma tilla county, but revived quickly under favorable weather following and many are i bloom. Early gardens are making a rood showing, but late truck crops are slow in coming and are quite generally In need of moisture and warmer weather.

RAILS SHOWING DULLNESS Expected Action of Railway Bring About Annual Saving of $50,000,000. v to BY MONITOR. (Copyright, 1922, by the Public Ledge Company. Published by Arrangement.). NEW, YORK. May 24. (Special.) Stocks moved in rather uncertain fashion today, with a moderate reduction in the volume cf trading. - There were times along in the afternoon when the market was posi tively dull. Features of exceptional ac tivity and strength wer furnished only by specialties or scattered issues in certain groups. Among these were Allied Chemi cal, Crucible, Gulf States and a few other industrials. Brooklyn Union Gas, Consoli-. dated Gas, Lima Locomotive and North American company also were strong. There waa lurther activity in Chicago & Alton, but otherwise there was littie fea ture to the rails. The dullness in the -ails seems rather surprising in view of the con structive character of the decision by the interstate commerce commission, which apparently has outlined a policy fixing 5?i per cent aa a reasonable return on ag gregate railroad property value. Tho ex pected action by th railway labor board in reducing the common labor scale, it is es timated, will bring abjut a saving of ap proximately $50,000,000 in railway operat ing and maintenance costs, in spite of the apathy of speculation toward the rails, however, well-informed sentiment Is bull ish on this class of securities. Recent activity in Republic Iron & Steel and Mldvale was explained by merger plans late in the afternoon. In the case of Republic this development apparently had been fairly well discounted. . . The weekly review of the Iron Age was given a favorable interpretation in view of xne comment to the effect that current buying is on a larger scale than had been expected and that demand in some direc tions is urgent. The statement regarding the small reserve stocks of automobile plants also created surprise. Progress of the steel merger is still un certain and is keenine Wail street on 1 nervous edge 'with various rumors gaining creaence Deiore being exploded. It was learned from official sources late today that the five-company merger Is still beinc considered, but that there is more chance of the three larger companies consolidating wnn tne two smaller companies possibly coming in later. The story printed in morning newspaper here today purporting to give lull details of the merger was de nied flatly by counsel for. the merger, who declared that the Trumbull company has not been considered aa a possible unit since last jovemDer.

According to reliable reports United States Rubber is doing very well at pree ent. especially in lines of industrial rubber goods which generally move during a per- iou 01 uiuusiriai activity, including belt- ins anu rauruaa supplies. At the same time the company's tire department, which is the most important unit of the whole piani, is snowing steady improvement and is noiuing 11s own wltn other companies. Sinclair Consolidated Is belne houa-ht on the supposition that the company Is now in a position to take action on the divi dend and may be expected to do so in the near future.

WHEAT PRICES GIVE IK MAY DELIVERY DROPS SIX ?ENTS AT CHICAGO. . Big Receipts Are Severe Handicap Against Bulls Mills Hold Back From Purchasing. CHICAGO. May 24. With an apparently endless flood of wheat rushing into Chi cago to catch expected high prices here oeiore tne end of the montfe, the wheat market suddenly gave way today under the strain. May delivery underwent sheer fall of 6c a bushel in value. The market, taken as' a whole, closed heavy lc to 6c net lower, with May J1.32 to $1.32U and July $1.22 to 1.22. Com and oats both finished c to llc down, in provisions the outcome was un changed to 7c higher. Flurried trading in wheat resulted from a belief on the part of many traders that the principal bulls in the market had abandoned the fight for higher prices. far as this month was concerned. The basis for such a course was evidence that the leading houses identified with the bull side o.' the market were selling today on a big scale and that the chief buying sun port for prices came from the operations of the leading shorts, the concerns which have been actively opposing of late the efforts for higher prices. Whether prevalent opinion that the bull campaign in May wheat had reached en end was correct or otherwise, big receipts. wnicn were seemingly ess urea ior tne re mainder of tne month, formed a severe handicap against the bulls today from the outset. Deliveries on May contracts thi: : morning amounted to 822,000 bushels and the fresh receipts here were 365 carloads. Besides, the Liverpool market was unre sponsive to yesterday's sharp advance here, domestic millers appeared to be holding back from purchasing and no im portant crop damage news was in sight. Under such circumstances, rallies in price grew feeble, and at the last the market made a Bwift downward plunge, losing 2c a bushel for May in the final 30 minutes of the board of trade session. Corn and oats weakened with wheat. Higher quotations on hogs finally brought about an upturn in the provision market, notwithstanding the bearish in fluence of tne break In grain values. The Chicago grain letter received yester day by the Overbeck A Cooke company of Portland follows: Wheat Heavy liquidation of May hold ings, in addition to selling of July cred ited to the leading longs In the current month, gave the market an entirely dif ferent complexion from that of yesterday. The trade appeared impressed with the favorable crop report and the continued heavy receipts at primary points, although the latter did not materially depress cash prices. The local trading basis was steady with contract grades bringing the May i liiivv. lilts Mautwni rpiiitrieu .u uiuium- ent foreign demand with buyers appar ently holding off on the belief that con siderable of the wheat being delivered on May contracts will be consigned abroad. Charters were taken for 250.000 bushels to Buffalo. The present pressure of cash wheat can be regarded as a temporary factor, which might make 1 for a strong situation next month inasmuch as the actual supply ox $rain is not increased, but rattier is placed at points or reaay at tribution. Corn It was a. weak market throughout the session, dominated mainly by the ac tion of wheat. Receipts were estimated at 260 cars and cash prices were lower with the futures, but the basis was relatively firm. The country is not selling as free ly as generally expected. This might be attributed to the delay in planting, but there is also a growing conviction that holders will not be disposed to sell In volume when a far better prijee is obtain able through the medium of the hog. The ntrinsic value of corn recommends a bull ish attitude at present prices. Oats Selling by cash Interests and in adequate buying caused weakness In oats futures. Unfavorable crop reports failed to revive interest on the buying side, be cause of the slow demand for the large available stocks. Rye There was good buying of futures by seaboard interests and the weakness in wheat had only a moderate Influence on prices. Cash rye was firm at May price to one cent over for contract grades.

I am agreeably surprised to find ; financial conditions improving throughout : the northwest." 1 Irrigation has been the salvation of the country surrounding Hermiston, according to P. B.

Oats Crop, Reported Backward in Interior Valley Due to Late Sowing, Is Improved. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 24. Nor mal temperatures almost everywhere except in the south, did much during the week ending yesterday to aid the farmers,' the weather bureau 1 ported today in Its weekly weather "op review Growth of vegeta- tion was hindered somewhat In west ern states by insufficient rain. Conditions as reported to the bu reau favored a continuation of the satisfactory growth made during the recent weeks by winter wheat. Rain was still needed at the close of the week in Iowa while the crop was described as becoming weedy in western Kansas, and stands were thin in many fields in Nebraska. Cool and cloudy weather in the spring wheat belt was favorable for that crop, the review said, adding that considerable improvement was re ported from South Dakota as a re sult of additional rains and germina tion was satisfactory in Montana. The oats crop, which generally is backward in the interior valley states due to delayed sowing, improved dur ing the week Corn was reported as having ger minated rather poorly in the upper Mississippi valley, but in most other sections the early plant is coming up to a good stand.
