Tear Ago avnd at Chicago Ship

als Big Visible Expecteti.
CHICAGO. Oct 7. Prospects of
brlrhter weather coaxed tbe entire
grain list today In a downward direc
tion. At the close wheat was 10 to o
under last night, corn off to c and
oats He to 4c. Hog; products showed a
net advance of 2 Mo to 20c
Wheat traders in particular gave at
tention to the ofTical forecast indicat
ing a period of more settled atmos
pheric conditions ahead. In addition,
receipts In the Northwest were larger
than a year ago and there were arrivals
here which for the week exceeded ship
ments by nearly 250.000 bushels. .The
outlook for a big Increase in the vis
ible supply Monday tended to keep
speculators In anything but a bullish
frame of mind. Altogether the market
had an easy tone and finished within
Ho of the lowest point of the day. Be
twen the opening and closing Decem
ber ranged from 87 He to 8V4c and
closed HHc down to 97c.
Home Important commission house
selling had a depressing effect on corn,
December fluctuated from 64Heto$4Ho
and closed He net, lower at 64 H

Oats sagged with other grain. High
and low figures for December proved to
be 48e and 47 He.-with the final price
,c off at 47H47He.fc
The poor quality of the hog supply
was given the blame for an advance In
the price of provisions. When the

walking straight through one of the
business' streets and passing two po

OREGON FLOUR iN ASIA

Failure of the Yangtse Crop Respon

on Pacific Coast. .
Interesting reports on sales of Oregon and
Washington flour in china are made by
Consular officials. Writing of the business
In South' China, Consul-General G- E. An
derson, of Hongkong, says:
Notwithstanding the tendency of American
flour shipments to Hongkong to decrease
from year to year in proportion to the de
velopment of wheat and Hour production In
the 1'angtse Valley and in North China,
present indications are that the imports
during li'll from all sources other than
Chinese will amount to o.oOu.OOO bags, and
thus establish a record for almost a decade.
Imports amounted to lm:2.JO0 bass In 110,
S.loy.Xl-: bags in a.TdS.Tlb bags in
laos, 4.04H.J07 bags In thff famine year
1907. and the top record for the decade was
,oll. 748 bags in
The imports of Washington and Oregon
flour for the llrst half oi lull have been -.-4Jt,l0
bags, with about 00.000 bags from
San Francisce, and if the cargo of a ship
arriving July 1 is included the a..3UO,000-bag
mark was passed. .
Reports from the Yangtze Valley and
North China, whence has come tne compe
tition that in 'recent years has cut luto
Hongkong's trade and into its imports of
flour from the United States show that there
has been too much damp weather and that
the wheat ts soft. Under the Chinese,
methods of harvesting and caring for it, a
large portion of the wheat is so damaged
that Its use for flour of any grade Is doubt
ful. On the other hand, the price at which
farmers on the Pacific Coast of the United
States are selling their wheat seriously em
barrasses the Chinese mills, which munt
have some such wheat for mixing purposes.
On the whole, the Chinese mills are believed
to be so handicapped by their situation as
regards wheat supplies - that competition
from them, at least in the South China coast
field, is not seriously apprehended.
The only unfavorable feature of the sit
uation from the standpoint of the American
flour manufacturer is the price of wheat
in the Pacific Northwest by which Oregon
and Washington mills have been seriously
handicapped.
The result has been that for the first
time in years, Australian flour has come into
the Hongkong market to the extent of over
140.000 bags, ordered in June for delivery
In July. August and September. Australian
wheat growers are glad to dispose of their
product upon the basis of Liverpool prices,
which Pacific Coast farmers have not been
willing to do.
Conditions in the North China flour mar
ket are reported by Consul E. Carleton
Baker, of Antung, as follows:
A remarkable advance In the sale of
American flour has taken place in this dis
trict within the last six months, while the
consumption of native flour has shown a
corresponding diminution. Although the sale
of American flour here In 19u7 amounted to
175.936 hundredweight, it rapidly decreased
until 1001), when the import amounted to
only 128 hundredwetRat. Although there was
a slight upward tendency in lfalO. when the
importation reached 4819 hundredweight, the
advance was comparatively small.
Native flour, on the other and. showed
a remarkable gain during the same four
years, in 1907 the Importation amounted to
only 5S31 hundredweight, ind in 1910 it
reached 128,791 hundredweight. XHiring the
last six months, however, the situation has
been exactly reversed. In that time 61.
028 hundredweight of American flour were
imported, as against 3345 hundredweight of
the native product. While a small quantity
of Russian and Japanese flour o;G7 and 1S.1
hundredweight, respectively) was Imported
during the same period, the figures show a
slight decrease for each.
Practically all of the American flour sold
here comes from Washington and Oregon.
There are abaut 10 brands being sold at
the present time, and the methods for
handling them could be Improved in several
respects. The Chinese, for instance, cannot
read the English labels and are guided al
most entirely by the picture on the sack.
The picture, therefore, should be one which
they can easily recognize and remember. It
Is best to use some symbol which is familiar
to the ordinary Chinese rather than one
which Is entirely foreign to their life, cus
toms and manner of thought. Symbols such
as a Junk, peacock, dragon, poppy, rooster,
cross, tiger, star, lion, etc., would be best.
Such words as extra fine, patent, best qual
ity, extra choice, this or that milling com
pany, etc.. mean little or nothing, especially
when printed only in English. Chinese mer
chants distinguish various goods by what
they call a "chop." and some picture or
design serves best to identify It.
If the confidence of the Chinese Is to
be gained and kept, the quality of the var
ious brands must be maintained.
