Newspaper Page Text24 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1922 T EARLY HUGE Four Million Bushels Export : Grade Contracted. STEAMERS PROVIDED FOR - Demand in Market for Millinj Grain, but Not Much Offered by Farmers. There was an improved feeling: in the wheat market yesterday and the bids "posted at the Merchants' Exchange were - one cent higher than Wednesday, though 'in the open market buyers were not dls ' posed to advance their offers, quoting ."around $1.18 01.11 on new club. Trad Zing in old wheat has become very small. There Is considerable inquiry for the milling grades of new wheat, but there nas very little offered on the market ; yesterday. S It is figured tnat contracts for close to 4,000,000 bushels of export wheat have ,"bten made with farmers and that this will provide for all the tonnage that has "been engaged to date, not much of which, -however, has been announced yet. At 4he moment farmers are not free sellers. , The dally Chicago wire to the Gray "jlosenbaum Grain company follows: - "Ultimately lower prices seem Inevit able, which Is recognized by trade in general, this causing extremely bearish "sentiment and easily oversold market in view of lack of outside trade. Less fa vorable strike situation and relatively stronger cables caused shorts covering . further rally possible, but would sell on bulges." July wheat at Liverpool closed d higher at 10s lllid and September Vid Jower at 10s 3d. - Buenos Aires wheat closed unchanged ;t $1.25'i for August and 11.25 for Sep--tember. The Van Dusen-Harrington crop report follows: "Northwestern crops developed favorably during the past week. Ex cepting two warm days weather cool and fine for filling. General condition of wheat satisfactory. Western North . Dakota and South Dakota and eastern Montana, good crops predicted if no dam age next two weeks." An Oklahoma City dispatch said: "Ac cording to George F. Blnderman, federal erain supervisor of this district, wheat is failing to come up to indications of July 1. Hot weather, black chaff and smut are some of the causes. Forecast of July 1 of 30,020,000 bushels will prove greatly In excess of out-turn. ' Terminal receipts, in cars, were re .. ported by the Merchants' Exchange as - follows: Portland WHEAT BOUGH Thursday . . 5 2 .... 1 Tear ago... 73 .... 13 .... 1 Sea n to date 4H3 2 75 20 61 Tear ago. ..1041 11 111 44 61 Tacoma Wednesday . 21 . . . . 2 .

The recovery in commodity prices waa further extended in the past month. At $173,743 on July 1, Dun's index number, which is based on the estimated per cap ita consumption of each of the many ar ticles included in the record, shows a rise of 2.2 per cent, over the figure of a month previous, and represents the - third consecutive increase. ... The price recovery that began a year lKO has continued without interruption, '.side from small declines on January 1 - and April 1 of the current year, and ' wine markets have gone considerably higher since the date covered by the latest compilation. Since the beginning . of this year, the net advance in the in - dex number has approximated 5.5 per cent, and the present figure ia about 9 per cent above the low point reached on the decline which culminated on July 1. last year. Comparing with the top level of May 1, 1920, the index number now -fhowa a recession of a little less than '8." per cent, but there is an increase of about 45 per cent over the pre-war basis, I Without exception all of the seven i - fcroups into which the index number is ! separated show advances on July 1 over the totals of a. month previous. In prac tlcally every case the changes are mod erate, but the upward price trend last month was very clearly defined, and both the clothing and miscellaneous classes were marked by decisive advances. The index number figure for the clothing class shows a net increase of 0 per cent 'Aver the January 1 figure, and all other roups, excepting dairy and garden, are now at a higher position than was the case at the beginning of this year. - The enhanced cost of various raw ma terials has been an important factor in -strengthening prices of semi-finished and 'finished products, and strikes in some industries have also been influential Not all of the increase in prices, how ever, has been due to these causes, as demand for many commodities has broadened appreciably. -XOCAL CUBE BITTER MARKET WEAK Seattle Turns Down Offers From Port t ! land Print Prices Cut. - ' The cube butter market was weak and tormer prices were maintained with dif- , fieulty. Sellers asked 35 to 38 cents for .country cubes, but buyers showed little interest. Oregon butter offered to Seat tle brought back the response that East ern butter could be had at lower prices. The local print trade was slow and job bing prices were not uniform. ; The egg trade was sluggish, with light Tecelpts and a poor local demand. , Liberal receipts of poultry brought prices down again. Light hens sold at 12 -cents and heavy hens at 21 cents. Springs moved at 20 cents. - veal was unchanged, but there was practically no market for it. FREESTONE PEACHES IN MARKET.

IS Prospect of Breakdown in Trans . porta tion Is Another; Prices Up After Early Break. BY CHARLES MICHAELS. CHICAGO, July 20. (By Chicago Trib une Leased Wire.) Prospects of a breai; down in transportation and a big export business in wheat and course grains brought better buying by cash interests and covering by speculators today. Prices advanced after an early break. All closed around the top, wheat was c to l&c Higher, corn unchanged to c higher, oats lower tp unchanged. The weakness of oats was in July and ryf c to lc higher. Lard" gained 2c to 17 He . ' There was sufficient shortage by cash handlers and speculators to absorb the selling pressure by pit tenders and re sulted in a final bulge of 1c to lc. Strength in the July wheat at Liverpool, with a net gain of d, also a stronger spot situation abroad and a delayed movement from the country, were fac tors which offset everything bearish. The bearish news was more favorable crop reports from the northwest. Late re ports showed the largest export business in a long time. July wheat touched $1.13, while September was $1.12 to $1.12. There were complaints of dry weather in parts of western Canada and of disap pointing yields in the southwest with only 10 per cent of the Kansas crop threshed. Selling pressure was light, except for a time early in the day. The big commis sion houses absorbed the offerings on the break, resulting in short covering toward the last. Northwestern cash interest and millers were moderate sellers to hedge cash purchases in the interior. There was selling of July and buying of Sep- tember by the elevator interests and buying against big export sales at the seaboard. Corn traders bought early on the big export businness of Wednesday, - but getting no outside help prices declined vc only to recover tne loss ana nmsnea with email net gains. Cash houses were good buyers and receipts were lighter, while export buying was again heavy and the cash corn passed, into stronger hands. The Iowa crop report says corn is tasseling and earing with the plant a week to ten days late. The new oats, the first of the season. were on the market today, a car coming from near Mendota, Illinois. It inspect ed sample grade, tested 27 pounds, heat ing and sold at 33c. Cash markets were stronger. Thi-re was buying of Decem ber and selling of September at Jc o 3c by cash handlers, also fair buying by commission houses. July was the weakest with limited trading, but the entire fluctuations were only c in the most active future. Eye was bought by exporters and solo. by northwestern hedgers mt prices ad vanced and closed near the top. 1111 ESI IRE MAY NEARLY DOUBLES RE TURN OF MONTH IN 1921. Coal Strike Does Not Have Influ ence on Revenues. That It" Was Expected, to Have. (Copyright, 1922. by the Public Ledger company. Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON, D. C, July 20. Prin cipal railroads of the country earned j $03,1)80,000 as net operating, income in: May, according to reports of the inter state commerce commission. This was $11,708,735 more than the net income of the preceding month and nearly double that of May, 1921. The degree, of improvement in the railroad finances in the last twelvemonth is reflected directly in the increased net operating income, it is emphasized. The increase in May over 'April caused' sur prise, because of the nation-wide coal strike, which, it was thought, would tend to reduce railroad earnings. M Percentage of return on the tentative valuation of the roads in May was 4.36, or 0.43 per cent more than in the pre ceding month. Although the May return fell short of the 5.75 per cent fixed by the inter state commerce commission as fair to railroad security holders, few officials, either of the roads or the government, are long pessimistic over the financial outlook. The general condition of railroad finances is unusually promising now, of ficials believe, eyen when due allowance is made for the strike of railroad shop workers, which is expected to prove most expensive for all of the lines. Volume of freight offered is continu ally increasing. Very material reductions in operating costs in the last year constitute another factor favorable to the carriers. Operat ing expenses in May amounted to $355, 588,800, or 6.4 per cent less than in the same month of 1921. In the western district the rate of return was 3.41 per cent, and in the eastern district 4.57 per cent. QUOTATIONS ON DAIRY PRODUCE Current Market Ruling on Butter.

Miles, president o'f the First National-bank of Miles city, Mont., wno spends apportion of his time here each year, has noliiieo . nuwa.ru, vice nresident of the Ladd & Tilton bank, that after 40 years of "red tape" he has received payment of a claim against the government. Mr. Miles, with his uncle. General Nelson A. ' Miles, founded the nitv which now bears their name. Mr. Miles took and proved on a pre-emption claim and in paying his fees gave the government $183 in excess of what the total acreage charges should have been. The mistake was discovered later and he filed a claim. A few days ago a gov ernment check was forwarded to him. There were no Interest payments with it.' Until Sherman Miles of St. Helens put in his appearance here a few days ago and told the story, E. C. Sammons, as sistant cashier of the United States Na tional bank, had been "holding out" the story of hi3 recent arrest by St. Helens traffic officers. It seems that Sammons was attempting to demonstrate to friend how he used to drive in France when near the front and lighted cars were taboo. He turned out his head lights and was running his car through St. Helens wnen an orticer or tne law put 'in an appearance. Eddie was taken before the justice of peace and paid $10 for the privilege of going home. The Josephine county . marble caves will do .much to put Grants ass in a more important position on the map of Oregon, in the opinion of George P. Jes ter, vice-president of the Grants Pass and Josephine bank, who is in Portland. He said that already a great many tourists who- have heard about the caves are driving. in over the recently completed highway which makes tne scenic won ders more accessible. "The Columbia river highway beats anything 1 have ever seen." This ia al most the unanimous verdict of the ma jority of the bankers who have been at tending the convention of the American Institute of Banking this week. "I thought it was a good deal of hot air all this talk about the highway," de clared one yesterday, "but now that I have seen it 1 am as sincere a booster as is any Portlander." . C. H. Wheeler, cashier of the " Baker Loan & Trust company of Baker. Or.. arrived In Portland yesterday morning and spent most of his time visiting with officials or tne local banks, -tie reports that there will be fair wheat crops around Baker. The lumber industry's re vival has helped his oity financially, he said. The banks of Portland have " been crowded d urine- the la.nt fnw tiavs with delegates to the American Institute of I Banking. Presidents, vice-presidents and other officials here have devoted prac tically all of their time to showing the visitors through their banks. Fred L. Myers, cashier of the La Grande National bank, was one of the visitors at the local banks yesterday. He came here on a double mission; he had business to attend to and he desired to take in the sessions of the convention of the American Institute of Banking. N C. Strong, vice-president of the Merchants bank of Port Townsend. Wash., was in Portland yesterday and spent the most of the day looking up old friends whom he knew when he worked in a "cage" here. He was formerly an employe of the Ladd & Tllton bank. Kenneth Bartlett. former University of Oregon football star who is now selling commercial paper for A. G. Becker & Co, of Seattle, was in Portland yesterday. Edward Schulmerich, president of the HJllsboro Commercial bank, was in Port land yesterday. He called upon local bankers.

LIFT Foreign Purchases for Day Esti mated at Two Million Bushels; Market Closes Firm. CHICAGO, July 20. Export buying, together with diminished prospects of settling the railroad strike, gave an up ward slant today to prices for, wheat. The market closed firm, c to c not higher with September $1.12 to 1.12Vi and December $1.13 to $1.18. Corn finished at unchanged figures to ' c gain, oats at c off to a. shade advance and provisions showing a rise of 2 fee to lie. Export buying of wheat was estimated as reaching fully 2,000,000, although it waa after midday before signs of any unusual purchasing for Europe devel oped. Earlier the bulls had their eyes chiefly on the strike situation as a mo tive for higher prices. In this connec tion, significance was attached to ' mes sages from the southwast complaining of inability to get cars to move new wheat that had been sold by farmers. Sudden expansion of European dema'.id for wheat was in some quarters attribut ed to increasing concern abroad aa to the strikes interfering with rail ship ments. Great Britain nad Italy were said to be the principal foreign buyers. Some renewal of talk about black rust danger was heard, but traders as a rule seemed to Incline to the opinion the crop had become too far advanced to be much hurt. Corn was again in good request for export, but less so than on yesteroay and some houses said country offerings to arrive were larger. Trade In oats lacked volume. Provisions were firm in line with hogs and as a result of improved export in quiry. The Chicago grain letter received yes terday by the Overbeck & Cooke com pany of Portland follows - The news in connection with the wheat trade was of a much different tenor than that which has predominated re cently and prices advanced despite the absence of important, outside buying. The anneara-npe of foreigners in the market was unquestionably the most significant development of the day. it was sam that sales would a2e:regate at least 2,000,- onn hiishels in all nositlons. Minneapolis reported a good cash demand at aa vanced premiums and in the local mar ket prices also gained on the futures. Some black rust reports were ireceiveu from important sections of the north west, carrying added significance be cause they were accompanied with buy ing orders. Strike news was less en couraging and complaints were received from different narts of the belt of car shortage. The export buying today has the appearance of being the start of a broader foreign Inquiry and should prove a strong bull card in the futures. Corn Held within 1 comparatively narrow range but displayed an under current of strength and closed at the best price of tho day. Receipts were smaller than they have been running recently and the cash markets strong at a fractional advance. Shipping sales out of Chicago were placed at nearly a mil lion bushels of which 850,000 went to ex porters. Country offerings to arrive were reported as light. The urgency of the cash demand taken in conjunction with the decreasing movement in the interior precludes the possibility of de clining prces at this time. Oats Showed a lagging tendency al though buying on the recessions was rather impressive. The cash market was easy at the start, but turned firm to wards the close. The first car of new oats arrived testing sample grade 27 pounds and sold at 33 cents. Kye Trade fair with continued buy ing by the seaboard while selling was led by the northwest In the form of hedging. Cash rye was easier with sales of No. 2 at two cents over July com pared with 2',4 cents premium yesterday. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Ooen. High. Low. Close.

(By Chicago Tribune Lease Wire.) CHICAGO, July 20. Northwestern crops developed favorably, says Van Dusen Harrington. Harvesting of South Dakota wheat probably will start this week. Some fields in southern North Da kota show evidence of ripening. C. E. Lewis & Co., Minneapolis, wires that samples of new grain are very good, rye showing as high as 80-pound test weight, barley 48 pounds, Minnesota and Iowa winter wheat 61 62 pounds. Yields of rye in south Minnesota are heavy, 45 bushels to the acre. Offerings to arrive were .smaller today. Farmers from Clark, 8. D., say they have the best" crop of wheat and oats that sec tion has had for years. In two days Chicago cash handlers have sold 2,000,000 bushels of corn, mostly for export. One house has picked up 1,000.000 bushels from a commission houBe who took it in May delivery. A few of the cash handlers own practical ly all the corn here and it is being moved out faster than it comes In. This has brought good buying of September and a little for July. A survev of wheat market prospects is sued by the department of research of the American Farm bureau federation esti mates the surplus of the United States and Canada at 485,000.000 bushels. The surplus, including Argentina, Australia and India, is figured at 186.000,000 bush els, making a total of 671.000,000 bush els. Imports of the world last year were 640,000,000 bushels and If they are able to buy as much as they need this year, the total will be around 725,000,000 bush els. That would exceed the total in sight from exporting countries, which means that the world will consume more than it produces and must cut into the normal carry-over into the end of next year. Import requirements average ap proximately 60,000.000 bushels monthly, or 5,000,000 bushels more than for the last 12 months. If the estimates of surpluses of ex porting countries and importing require ments prove to be correct so that it be comes necessary to deplete the normal reserves before the 1923 crops are har vested, there should be a strong market during the first half of 1923. CANADIAN CROP PROSPECTS GOOD. Wheat In Western Districts Is Filling Out Well.

HIGHER SUGAR PRICES EXPECTED Traders in East Look Forward to Bull Market. The New York sugar letter received by wire by Overbeck & Cooke company of this city follows: The recent heavy activity in the sugar market has practically closed up offer ings of Cubas up to 3 11-16 cents c. and f., and there were sales reported of from 50.000 to 60,000 bags August and Sep tember shipment to Warner at 3 cents c. and f. In addition, that refiner paid 3 23-32 cents for a cargo of afloat Cubas, this being a resale by another refiner. There were even intimations In some quarters that the sugar situation would culminate in a comer before the end of the year, but as this has been adver tised, some suggest that it will not ma terialize. In Pennsylvania, sugar is said to be stored to the roofs of garages, all expecting prices to break through the lO-cent level before the end of the year. It la evident this morning, however, that big operators were golng slow on the buying side awaiting- confirmation of any bullish factors that may preclude lower prices. NEW YORK.

Prices Remain Practically Un changed and Transactions Con tinue on Peddling Basis. BOSTON, July 20. (Special,) Prices named by the American Woolen com pany at its lightweight opening this week were lower than the wool trade expected and tended to depress senti ment. This effect has been largely off set by the opening ot the London wool auction at par to 5 per cent above pre vious closing quotations. Ab a result wool prices here remain practically un changed and transactions continue on a peddling basis. Territory wools sell in original bags at $1.25g'$1.30 clean, for the best fine and fine medium, and $1.13 for good French combing. Half blood Is leas active at $1.101.15. Manufacturers show increasing inter est in territory three-eighths bloods, and it seems certain that .considerable use will be made of them In this season's goods, because of the scarcity of the finer grades. Last year knitting yarn people absorbed much of the supply. This year the opposite is true. Sales continue at 85 90 cents clean. Quarter blood is quiet at cents. Little is being done in the country, except ia Texas. Even there buyers and sellers are at odds. At a sealed bid sale at Sanderson. Texas, offerings being 300,000 pounds, ail bids were rejected. At Brackettville and Uvalde 300.000 pounds of eight-months wool, offered at sealed bid sale, were secured by a Bos ton house at a price said to be better ! than 40 cents In the grease and erti- ' mated to have cost about $1.05 clean landed in Boston. I Very little is being done In the fleece wool country, as most clips have passed j to country buyers or eastern wool houses. 1 Quotation here are unchanged. Small ' sales of fine A super pulled wool are 1 noted at about Jl clean. Lambs sell j moderately. The best July puliings move at 85&iM) cents.. June puliings are well' sold. j Some business ia in progress In South American second clip and Buenos Aires ' low scoured eorts suitable for woolen mills. Moderate transfers of good Aus- j tralian and South American wooi con- 1 tinue to be made in bond, at prices that look low when compared with anything of similar utility available here. Some scoured Cape is fcelng taken from bond, duty of 45 cents a pound being paid. As the emergency tariff Js not likely to be displaced soon, large impor tations of unskirted wool are predicted. The Australian selling brokers' asso ciation has arranged to offer only 750,000 bales at the various sales the coming fall and winter, a seemingly small quantity. The strong opening at London is taken to mean that the oversupply of cross breds, which weakened the market at the close of the last sale, has been with drawn and that the market will be fed only as it caA absorb them without break ing prices. Receipts of both domestic and foreign wool in this market have been heavy the past week, totaling over 19,000,000 pounds, against 4,000.000 a year ago.
