TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1923
NEW OREGON IPS
MOVE OUT STEADILY
About 10,000 Bales Have
Been Sold to Date.
REJECTIONS REPLACED
liufK or Sales Are at 10 to 10 &
Cents; Only Limited Demand
for Poorer Grades.
There is a lairly good movement in the
Oregon hop market with prices holding
at the same ransre as for the past two
weeks. The volume of business done
to date has been, better than was ex
pected and prices have ruled quite
steady.
The demand is mainly for the best
Bra dea for which buyers are paying 10
11 cfnts. with the bulk of the trading
at lOig.-lOVs cents. A strictly choice lot
of i00 bales, one of the finest grown
in the state, was sold at V2 cents, but
this does not represent an advance in
the general market. Poorer grades
moved in a email way at 7 to 0 cents.
A considerable part of the buying has
been to replace contract lots rejected on
account of poor quality. This has tended
to reduce materially the supply of the
1etter grades, while at the same time
the poorer ones have been thrown back
on the market.
A few orders representing new busi
ness have come from eastern and middle
Wfetfrn brewers, but no new foreign
trade has developed. There was a limited
amount of buying of olds at 5 cents.
On the whole dealers can see nothing
tn encourage the hope of higher prices.
They believe, rather, that the market
will go along at present values through
the winter. Between 8000 and 10.000
bales of the crop have been bought
since September 1 and some -0,000 bales
ttill remain to be told.
tie weakness in the middle of the week,
are closing on a firmer basis. Higher
prices are generally being paid for but
terfat throughout the producing sections.
Not enough care and attention are being
given to the quality of cream delivered
to creameries, resulting in a considerable
proportion of butter reaching the mar
ket that will not grade as high as it
should. Better care and more frequent
deliveries of cream will enable manu
facturers to produc more top grade
butter, and would Rave a tendency to
raise the price of butterfat.
Production of eggs is at a low ebb and
pEic-i.for fine stock have advanced dur
ing tfte week Th-e is still a surplus of
storage eggs to bi marketed and with
drawals have not been quite as heavy as
expected. A continued increased con
sumption of gga everywhere is neces
sary to clear present stocks satisfactorily.

PORTLAND W HEAT BIDS RAISED
Market Averages Two Cents Higher in
Spite of Declines Elsewhere.
Although the eastern rheat market
wan lower yesterday and Liverpool "was
al.o weak, buyers at the Merchants'
Exchange lifted their bids on an aver
age of 2 cents. Western white was un
changed, but the other grades for No
vember and December delivery were up
1 to 3 cents.
The coarse grain market was steady.
Persistent scattered selling induced &
material decline In prices at Liverpool
and by apparent lulls in export demand
had a bearish effect on the Chicago
wheat market. The closing was heavy,
8' 1 Vie net lower. With Liverpool
wheat quotations finishing as much as
2 pence lower in some cases and with,
an increase of more than 7,000,000 bush
els reported on the world's available
supply, total, the buying side of the
market seemed to be at a disadvantage.
Rains over a good part of the domestic
winter crop belt, the southwest in par
ticular, counted as a further bearish in
fluence. Besides, primary receipts wer
in excess of the figures last week and
last year. Efforts to develop rallying
power in the market proved of little ef
fect. The Chicago wire to the Gray-Rosen-I'aum
Grain company follows:
bnarp break Liverpool Inspired ag
gressive selling and in absence any sub
stantial Eupport, mnrket showed weak.
' However, cash premiums unaffected and
demand fair while short interest cut
down somewhat. Do not anticipate
much decline. Spring wheat movement
promises to decrease. Ughtness European
stocks suggests continued expert de
mand." The Liverpool cio?e was lU-il lower
at 0s 7Vjd for December, Pd for
March and On CUd for J!ay.
Broomhall cabled: "Wheat in the
United Kingdom remains steady to firm

Season to dat
Bumper American Pea Pack.
All existing records have been broken
by the 1022 American pea pack, accord
ing to statistics just furnished the de
partment of commerce by the National
Canners' association. A total pacK oi
13,042,000 cases of peas was put up by
American canners during the season just
closed, practically double the pre-war
average. With the failure of the French
pea crops and a pack of petits pois far
below normal, there is every indication
that foreign markets' will absorb a big
percentage of the large American pack.

(BY CHARLES D. MICHAELS.)
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, Oct. 31. Grain markets
shewed a distinctly heavy undertone and
scattered liquidation by longs was
strongly in evidence at times. HouseB
with eastern connections were fair sellers
of wheat at times and with a lack of
adequate support prices declined readily.
At the last wheat was off llc, corn
tt&lc. oats &fec and rye KQ-lc, the
finish being about the bottom.
Liverpool wheat, which had been show
ing" pronounced strength of late, turned
weak just before the close of that mar
ket and finished 14 2d lower
and had considerable Influence here.
Local sentiment has become bullish with
the light outside interest a factor, and
the market was not broad enough to ab
sorb any material increase in pressure.
Receipts In the southwest are increas
ing and the prolonged drought over a
wide territory has been broken by heavy
rains, which tended to increase bearish
sentiment. Export demand was only fair.
Omaha sold 100.000 bushels No. 2 hard
winter' to the gulf for export at equal
to 0 cents over December, track here.
Local receipts were 43 cars.
Corn Market Slumps.
Prospects of an increased movement of
corn, while failing to have much effect
on cash values, had a depressing effect
on futures and the market was under
prewure from scattered longs who were
getting out. The bulk of the trade was
of a local character, with sentiment in
clined to the bear side, the lack of out
side Interest being, a big' factor Sea
bcard and domestic demand was less
urgent. Premiums on spot were firmer
on old grain. Receipts were 14S cars.
, December oats acted tight and went
to a premium of fee over the May at
the last with rather persistent commission-house
buying in evidence. Aside
from this the market reflected the action
other grains and closed lower. Re
ceipts were 76 cars with sample values
firm as compared with futures.
Rye Trade Brisk.
Bulk of the trade in rye was in spread
ing operations, the east buying Decem
ber and selling May at j)iy4c ouierence,
while May here was sold against pur
chases in the northwest. Some export
business was put through at the sea
board. The two northwestern markets
received 131 cars.

at the close was that a moderate setback
in prices was due, especially in wheat.
Prices have advanced 7 cente of late and
the buying is not sharp enough to keep
values continually on the upgrade. New
and striking factors are needed to stimu
late increased buying and create and
maintain good upturns in values. A fair
break, it is believed, would put the mar
kets In better position for a rally.
Breaking of the drouth in parts of the
west and southwest were a factor in July
wheat, which lost 1 cents, making it
the weakest of all deliveries. There were
rains nearly all day around Wichita,
Kan., and vicinity, while reports from
Omaha said there was rain in eastern
Nebraska and western Iowa.
p
Several of the strong local operators
were . good buyers of December wheat
and sellers of May. This is a popular
spread as is also selling of May here
against purchases In Winnipeg at around
10 cents discount for the Winnipeg. Oc
tober at Winnipeg went out at $1.05, or
lower for the day. December there
finished 15 fe under Chicago.
It is expected that private reports on
corn, due tomorrow and within the next
few days, will be moderately bullish. One
estimate of close to 2,750.000.000 bushels,
made last month, is regarded as about
right by those who are very bullish,
while others look for 2.t50,000,000 bush
els. The government report in October
was 2,853,000,000 bushels. Farm stocks
November 1 are estimated at under 2oo,-
OOu.OOO bushels, against 285.700.000 bush
els last year, while the five-year average
is ov, 100,000 bushels.
A liberal part of the trading in corn
was in buying of Deoember and selling
of May fe to V cent discount for the
December. A cash handler who recently
bought new corn for shipment from the
country by December 15 had a car de
livered to him today.
Cables to a New York exporter brought
a better . tone to the wheat market in
the United Kingdom, although public ca
bles were the reverse. The exporter said
to him they wer the best in a week.

AB SHORTAGE AFFECTS POULTRY
Lighter Arrivals Steady Prices in Eastern
Market.
A shortage in the west of special cars
used to transport live poultry has had a
tenttency to shorten arrivals in the cen
tral and eastern markets. The lighter
receipts have had a steadying effect on
market prices, says the produce review
of Swift & Co. of Chicago. A good de
mand exists for dressed poultry, with
some surplus over current requirements,
which is being placed in storage for fu

CHICAGO. Oct. 31. The second day ot
the horse auction showed the demand
strong and reliable for all' good heavy

enough to take the bulk of the offerings
and there were not many good chunks
and drafters available on the day's mar
ket. The best were quotable up to $250,
with many of the right kind going at
$175&224.

The Chicago grain letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck & Cooke com
pany of Portland follows:
Wheat It was a dull market work
ing gradually downward with bulls dis
playing loss of confidence because of
the inability to stimulate outside inter
est on the buying side. The decline
in Liverpool prices created the belief
that the foreign situation has eased and
that the inquiry for grain for prompt
shipment is apt to be less urgent than
it has been for some time past. Only
a small amount of export business was
coniirired yesterday and the demand
today was reported as slow with no
evidence in the futures market of any
fresh buying. Cash markets were quiet
except in the northwest,, where the de
mand from millers was good and firm
prices prevailed. While there is no
important change as yet in the car situa
tion, indications point to a more liberal
supply in the interior and there is some
question as to distribution without i
cumulations at terminal markets. Until
some news incentive appears to en
courage bullish activities, we do not
expect a sustained advance.
Corn -The market had a heavy tone
from the opening, feeling the weight
of liquidation by longs and selling by
cash interests. The approach of the
new crop movement, which promises to
be earlier than usual, with cash pre
miums on old corn showing a distinct
tendency to yield, is causing a revision
of idea3 as to when the market will
begin to reflect what is generally ac
cepted as a very bullish prospective
supply and demand situation. The
logical tme to buy corn futures is when
the movement reaches its peak, which
should be about February. For the im
mediate future we look for only , mod
erate and temporary upturns.
Oats The only feature of note was
the relative strength of the nearby po
sition, which showed symptoms of con
gestion in face of an easier cash market.
Receipts were light, but there was little
demand for the offerings, and premiums
were fractionally lower. Country of
ferings to arrive remain light.
Rye Prices were a shade lower in
sympathy with other grains, but there
was no pressure of consequence on the
market, and offerings were well ab
sorbed by seaboard interests on the
decline. Cash rye was relatively steady
at 1 cents over December for No. 2
on ' track.
