Newspaper Page Text22 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1922 HOLIDAY DEMA J FDR IS Buyers Now Call for Higher Class of Fruit. PRICES ARE AT BOTTOM Irade Looks for Good Market for Late Keepers After First 1 of the Year, The feature of the local apple market is the opening up of' the holiday demand for high-grade fruit, especially large Spitzenbergs. The bulk of the sales are still made up of the cheaper grades, but there is a growing Inquiry for the bet ter classes of fruit. Prices are holding quite steady and the leading dealers believe the market will not go lower this eeason. They are looking forward to a good market after the turn of the year for all good-keeping varieties. Advices from Hood River are to te effect that the demand is better, but 'the shortage of cars makes It im jwssible for the growers to take ad rantage of the improvement In the sit uation. Eastern reports are of fairly steady markets for boxed apples. The British, apple markets for the week ending November 11 were as fol lows, conversions being made,, according to the rate of exchange prevailing then, when a shilling was worth, about 22 cents. Boxed apples: Liverpool Oregon, all grades, New towns 2.45; Washington, all grades, Newtowns $2.173.12, extra fancy Jona thans 2.17g)2,79; fancy $1.782.57.

The. wheat market had an easier tone yesterday and the demand was lighter. At the Merchants Exchange November hard white was the same as Saturday, but the other bids posted were 13 cents lower. No offers were made for western white or- western red. Tie coarse grain market was quiet and 25 50 cents lower on corn and oats. Despite some initial appearance of strength due to upturns in Liverpool quo tations, the Chicago wheat market gave evidence soon that fresh buying power was of insufficient volume to withstand heavy selling. Shortly after the open ing. May touched a new high price rec ord for the season, but during the rest of the day the bulls were at a decided disadvantage. It was figured that Ar gentina would be able to export 37.000.000 bushels more than has heretofore been estimated. In addition the amount of wheat on ocean passage as compared with a week before showed an increase of 3.500,000 bushels. Lowest prices of the session came after word was circu lated that an aggressively bearish po sition as to wheat had been taken by a Chicagoan who last spring was con spicuous as a bull. Reports that Great Brietain and France were to press Ger many for reparations counted as a fur ther handicap, and so likewise did gossip that the car supply had improved, espe cially in the northwest. The Chicago wire to the Gray-Rosen-baum Grain company follows: "Wheat declining, owing to our Argen tine correspondent's estimate exportable surplus 185,000,000 bushels, remaining old crop reserves 15,000,000. estimate new crop surplus being 40.000,000 excess re cent estimates. Premiums easier. Re ceipts literal. Further decline would not be surprising. Discourage purchases ex cept further break." Liverpool wheat closed unchanged to d lower at 10s 7d for December, 9s 11'A& for March and Ss T& for May. Buenos Aires wheat opened cent lower at $1.16 for December and Jl.10 for February. This year's production of wheat In Greater Rumania is now placed at 87, T40.000 bushels, according to information Teceived by the department of agricul ture from its representative in the Bal kan countries and from the International institute or Agriculture at Rome. The production of rye is estimated at 8,900.000 bushels, barley at 90,710.000 hushels, oats ! at 86.130,000 bushels, and corn at 93, 810.000 bushels. Rumania's exportable eurplus of wheat from the 1922 crop is estimated at nearly 20.000.000 bushels the feed and seed allowance being placed at 6S.000.000 bushels compared with an average annual exportable surplus of 83.000,000 bushels from the old kingdom of Rumania for the pre-war period, 1909 1913. Total production of wheat, rye and maslin in Bulgaria is estimated at 39, 310.000 bushels, according to a cable received by the department. This is 3, T23.000 bushels less than the- 1921 pro duction. The food and seed require ments of Bulgaria for these grains for 3922-23 is estimated at S8.B60.000 bush els, compared with 40,290,000 bushels last year. The exportable surplus will be only about 350,000 bushels, according to these estimates.

With none of the New Zealand butter which recently arrived offered for sale and with heavy speculative buying, the San Francisco market was active all week. There was a steady advance in prices and butter .coring 92 gained 2c from Friday to Friday. It is now felt that the season is too far advanced for heavy shipments of foreign butter and the higher eastern markets are expected to attract cars from other states which have been coming to San Francisco. These conditions point to a firm, ac tive market for fancy butter for several weeks to come. The latest cables from New Zealand state tha no buer was shipped on this month's boat to San Francisco. Receipts during the past week included very little butter from outside the state. Cold storage holdings, however, have decreased very little. While the eastern butter markets the entire week were firm, trading was marked with a certain amount of nerv ousness. - Fresh receipts were cleaned up almost on arrival and demand has kept up in fair shape, but stiU.-real confidence in the markets was .lacking. Dealers were anxious to keep cleaned up and buyers would pay no advances except under pressure. The high price level was largely re sponsible for the unsettled undertone. De mand has decreased rather rapidly re cently and had it not been that produc tion was also light, accumulations would have resulted. Furthermore, many of the buyers have shifted from fresh to storage. This has given the storage market more support than the fresh mar ket; in fact, trading In storage has been fairly active and prices have shown a tendency to advance. Withdrawals were lighter than last week and over twice as heavy as a year ago. Foreign butter has little influence as prices are too high to attract importers. However, several hundred casks of Dan ish butter, both unsalted and salted, were bought for shipment at around 44c. c. i. f. DRESSED TURKEY RECEIPTS LARGE Buyers Refuse to Pay Over 35 Cents for Choice. Dressed turkey receipts showed cpn siderable Increase yesterday. A number of buyers were on the market, 'but they would not go over 35 cents for choice birds. A good part of the day's supply cleaned up on Seattle orders. Live poul try of all kinds was steady and In de mand, except live turkeys. Fresh eggs continued scarce and firm. A better movement in storage eggs was reported. The cube butter market was firm at Saturday's prices. Small Increase in Wheat Visible, The American visible wheat supply statement compares as follows: Bushels Decrease.

LIVERPOOL STILL FIRM Heavy World Shipments, Bear ish Reports From Some Quar ters Bring Decline. ' BY CHARLES D. MICHAELS. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) CHICAGO, Nov. 20. An overbought condition developed in all grains and with general selling and profit-taking prices uroppea sharply after a small bulge early, and while the finish was on a rally wheat closed with net losses of; lH2c, corn c, oats lc and rye l2c, with December leading in all Instances. May wheat sold at a new high on the crop early, touching $1.18 on buying induced by strength in Liverpool and in November at Winnipeg, but local senti ment was strongly in favor of a reaction in view of the recent sharp advance, and support was much less aggressive than of late. Local traders were active on the selling side and assisted in making the decline. Heavy world shipments, over 17,000,000 bushels, the largest of the season, with a bearish summary of the situation by A. W. Cutten, and a private estimate Indicating an exportable sur plus of 185,000,000 bushels for Argentina, were the main depressing Influences. ' Export demand for durums and Mani tobaa showed some improvement, with sales of over 750,000 bushels in all po sitions. Spot premiums here were lc lower with milling demand less active. 'Liver pool closed Hd higher to d lower, the latter on May. Corn again showed a heavy undertone, and while firmer early with wheat and on buying of December by local traders, broke sharply later with a number of local longs going out of their holdings on the way down. The slowing up in the demand for cash corn, with some talk of resales in the southwest, had an ef fect on values and pressure on cash grain is commencing to be felt. Around 70c for May buying on resting orders checked the break. December at one time sold c over May and later at the same price as the deferred delivery. Re ceipts were 266 cars, with the basis easy as compared with December. Trade in oats was largely or a local character. Domestic shipping demand was good, but there was sufficient arriv ing from the country to take care of re- oulrements and the basis in tne sample market was easy: Receipts were 207 cars. Houses with seaboard connections were good buyers of rye early, but the undertone was not as strong as of late and with stop-loss orders caught prices e&sed off 3c from the early top and finished en a good rally. Nothing was heard regarding fresh export business. i .j The grain markets felt the effect of the recent heavy selling by longs and of short sales by local operators who were more aggressive. The impression among the leaders on the constructive sido was that a larger short interest had been created and that while there might be further recession it was not safe to get short on breaks. Those who sold out said they expected to get their grain back at lower prices A few days' decline It was said would place the n-arkets in better condition for another bulge. Good buying of wheat was in evidence on the break but was not strong enough to make a closing rally. Jn corn and oa ts a covering movement lifted prices slightly at the last. One of the most persistent or the corn bulls said at the last that he expected higher prices to morrow, declaring that the majority of the largest holders had sold out and and the. pit element was short. ' Those bearish on corn say there has been advance enough to discount all bullish conditions for the present. They also point to the reports from Balti more saying that there is too much un sold corn there for which there is no demand. It is also asserted that a great dnal of corn and oats has been rolling to the west and southwest that has not been sold, forcing; resales at lower pi ices. Liverpool cables said the heavy world shipments of 17,000,000 bushels for the week were offset by lirmer Argentine offers, a better milling demand, and by fewer cable offers over the week end from Canada. Reselling by continental coun tries has stopped and the undertone of the wheat market rules firm, with out- sde speculators buying futures. Traders here said that as North America fur nished almost 75 per cent of the tctal world shipments for the week, it was really a bullish factor showing that we are rapidly disposing oi our surplus, ana that the other side needed supplies. Estimates of Argentina's exportable surplus of wheat as cabled to the J. Rosenbaum Grain company is inbuilt), nou bushels. This compares with 148,000,000 bushels recently estimated by other in terests. Latest reports from France are that ' it will need to Import 80.000 000 bushels and that Roumania has 20,000, 000 bushels of exportable surplus. The daily Chicago market letter re ceived by the Overbeck & Cooke com pany of Portland follows: "Wheat Higher prices of the day were made immediately after the opening, but failed to hold. There appeared to be a rather general disposition to look for a reaction, which was accentuated oy tne statement of a prominent operator who analyzed the statistical position through out the world and European financial conditions as being against advancing prices. Another influential factor was private cables estimating the Argentine exportable surplus at 185,000,000 bush els, a very flattering report, unlikely to be realized. The cash demand in the local market was somewhat less active and premiums were quoted lc to 2c lower. The visible supply statement showed a very disappointing increase. Seaboard messages claimed the export demand had slowed up, duo apparently to a disposition to await a reaction fn th market. It is understood the freight market is pretty well booked up, indi cating liberal clearances the balance of the year. It Is quite evident that for eigners in the recent past have bought a great deal more wheat than has been reported from day to day. The reac tionary tendency may extend somewhat further, but we still believe advantage should be taken rt such opportunities to make purchases. "Corn As in wheat, sentiment favored a reaction, which was easily attained in the absence of outside buying. The de pressing influence was the slowness of the eastern demand, accompanied by claims of congestion and cheaper offer ings from the territory east of Chicago As far as the Chicago market is con cerned, there has been no change of con sequence in conditions, as western and southwestern feeders continue to outbid us for supplies, leaving barely enough grain coming this way to satisfy ordi nary commercial requirements. Cash premiums today were a shade easier for old corn but slightly higher for new grain. Declines such as witnessed today should strengthen the technical position of the market and afford good buying opportunities. "Oats followed the decline in other grains in a small way, with little dispo sition to press the selling side. Cash Prices held well, with shipping sales of 263.000 bushels reported, mainly for do mestic use. Country offerings to arrive continue light. "Rye had a natural setback with other grains, but the declines met buying which naa tne appearance or being against ex port sales. Cash rye was relatively steady. We continue to favor a position on the buying side, feeling that the mar ket must derive strength from the per sistent export buying. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHLAT. Open. High.. Low.

DIMS TESTS SUCCEED NAVY SUBMARINE IS TRIED UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS Both Surface and Below Surface Maneuvers Are Carried Out by Crew of S-20. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) NEW LONDON, Conn.. Nov. 20.- When the big U. S. navy submarine S-20 made fast to the dock of the New London Ship & Engine company late Saturday she brought to a close one of the most successful trials of submersibles in naval annals. The S-20's trial consisted of run at various speeds on the surface to determine, not only the actual dpeed of the vessel, but also her cruising radius; of runs submerged, where all navigating must be by means of her periscope; of tests of all appar atus, firing of torpedoes; of tests to determine her maneuvering abil ity and of a test to demonstrate her strength. This latter test consisted of submerging the vessel with her) trial crew and with the naval ob-1 servers aboard to 'a depth of 200 feet. .

MERGER FEELERS OUT CON'GRESS AXD PUBLIC TO BE thoroi:ghxy TESTED. Government Not to Act Hastily on Proposal to Consolidate Packing Concerns. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 20. Congress and the public are to be thoroughly sounded by the admin istration, it was declared here in authoritative quarters, before the government makes any final de cision on the proposal of J. Ogden Armour to consolidate the Armour and Morris packing interests. That there will be a division of opinion in congress on the subject seems assured, even among the rep resentatives of livestock sections. I This was indicated when Repre sentative Anderson, Minnesota, chairman of the agricultural sub-" committee on appropriations, ex pressed opposition to the proposed merger, and Representative Frear, Wisconsin, one of the house leaders of the La Follette progressive group, approved it. The opposition of Representative Anderson is regarded as significant. The Minnesotan comes from the center of a -livestock-growing sec tion and was the head of the joint congressional committee which in the last session undertook to dis cover what is the matter with .agri culture. C Representative Frear said he could see no objection to the pro posed merger in view of the fact the concerns already have price fixing agreements and in effect are already combined.
