l." THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, APRIL 11, 1915. WHEAT TRADE WAITS Lack of Ships Is Bar to Mar ket Activity. PRICES HOLDING STEADY iraln Is Cheap In JiortJnvest and Europe Wants It, bat Export ers Are Unable to Arrange for Transportation. The wh.at trade drifted along- idly In the put week. The market la In a waiting atti tude, and unless there ia relief In the trans portation situation It la likely to continue ao anting the remainder of the season. Wheat la relatlTeiy cheap nere and la tn demand In Europe, but there are almost no ehlpe or ateamera to be had. and. there fore, export buslueea cannot be worked. Cali fornia evidently doea not need train, nor can the Orient be interested. Btocka remaining- la the Northwest however, are not heavy and the market keepa on a fairly ateady keel. Fanners are not pressing ealea. and any effort to buy a larg. quantity would. BO doubt, at ones stiffen the market. Merchants Exchange salea yesterday were as follows: 5.00O bushels prompt bluestera 130 10.000 bushels May forty-fold l- 100 tona prompt oats 32.50 Tho spot bluestem brought a cent more than was bid on the preceding day and forty-fold was unchanged. Bed wheat offers ran zed from 1 cent turner to lis centa lower than Friday's. Prompt oats rained half a dollar on the sale of 100 tons. Bids for May oats were unchanced. The tone of both the oats and barley markets Is very steady. Business on the exchange in the past week showed a rain over the preceding week, sales amounting to 60.000 bushels of wheat. 10O0 tons of oats. 100 tons of barley and 800 tons of mlllfeed. of a total value of $119,82... The Merchants' Exchange will hold its first session in its new quarters Monday. Crop reports from the Interior were satisfactory- The sections that needed rain have received abundant moisture and good, warm, growinr weather now prevails. Portland exports In the past week were P0.887 bushels of wheat and 97.648 bushels of bsrley. Wheat receipts were 97.500 bush els. Local receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat. Bar. Fir. Oats. Hay. Portland Tear ago Total this week. Tear ago Season to date. . Tear ago Tacoma. Friday.

Local hop dealers are without orders for either the old or new crop and prices are wholly nominal. Tho California market is also dull. The new Oregon crop Is making good head way and if properly cultivated, a full yield will probably be obtained, provided, of course, the weather Is favorable from now on. The future course of the market is uncertain. Regarding the decrease In acreage In New Tork State, the Waterville Hop Reporter says: "There seems to be considerable diver sity of opinion among local hopmen as to tho shrinkage In acreage this year. In Brookfleld and some other outlying sections we understand that practically all of the yards are to bo plowed up this Spring. But in other sections an Increase will be shown on account of new growths which will come Into bearing this year. Tentative estimates very from 5 to 20 per cent decrease In acre age for this whole region, but it Is probable that when the showdown comes the former figure will more nearly indicate the actual conditions." Bernhard Bing writes from Nuremburg, under date of March 10, as follows: "Our market showed a very lively business during the last weeks comparatively with the period of the year. Choice greenish colored hops especially are continually in a very good demand and command relatively high prices, as stock is exceedingly small. We actually pay per 50 kg. first costs. Extra fine qualities. 00995 marks; good qualities. 65S0 marks; medium to com mon, 45$ 55 marks." CAR OF STRAWBERRIES IS COMTXG Large Shipment Will Be Started From Los Angeles Tuesday. The feature of the week In the fruit trade waa the receipt of Texas and .Louisiana strawberries, which were well cleaned up at the close. A car of Louisiana strawber rlea haa been made up and will be started north on Tuesday, arriving here Thursday. The orange market wound up firm and prices have an upward tendency. Vegetable receipts were light yesterday, but there was a fair supply on hand. A mixed car of San Francisco vegetables is due Monday, also a car of cabbage. The cabbage market is strong. Peas and new potatoes, on the other hand, are declining. The former will be 2 cents lower at the opening of the week and new potatoes will be about a cent cheaper. Old potatoes were tn moderate supply and firm. The season for California asparagus Is drawing to a close, as local grass is crowd ing It out of the market. The last car of Florida tomatoes Is ripening slowly and a few crates will be on the market to morrow. A shipment of Bermuda onions was received yesterday and pat on sals at $1.76 a crate. EGGS Borr.HT AT LOWER PRICE storage Speculators Not Keen at Former Quotation. The local egg market held at IS cents yesterday, but purchases were made In the country on a basis aa low as 17 cents. Storage buyers object to paying more than the latter price, which may be the ruling quotation for large lots In the coming week. There were no new developments In dairy end dressed meat markets yesterday, and Friday's prices were repeated. There were no new devlopmnts in dairy produce linee. The butter market was In steady condition, but trade was reported quiet. -. . OREGON ONIONS CO TO CHICAGO Auorlation Disposed of 2 Cars In the Past Week. A long step toward disposing of the surplus of Oregon onions was taken by the Confederated Onion Growers' Association in the oast week, when they sold 26 carloads to be shipped to Chicago and other points In the Middle West. This leaves only a unsold, about two weeks' supply. Onions In the Eastern markets were cheap all Winter, but have suddenly advance u. this provided an outlet for the Oregon stock. There was no change in tne pn-o. nuik nMiinn. Tt.nlt clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were .. !--,Mr1n-.,. B- Portl.nd 11.410.71H 1125.059 1.778.84 248.70s settle -- -42 , ,,.

' Bond Market Is Strong. iciow YORK! Aoril 10. Profit-takmg of a very broad and general character. In which Europe participated to an unusuat w. was almost the sole restraint upon further speculative excesses In the stock market to day. Even so. higher prices were estab lished and In some instances retained on the largest week-end business in six years. At the opening, which was marked by much confusion and excitement, practically all Iho leading stocks and a majority or tne specialties moved somewhat unevenly toward levels substantially above yesterday's high ""unfted States Steel wss the outstanding feature. Interest converging around that stock because of its meteoric rise the day before. Opening at a fractional advance, it soon pained a full point at 58. but as speed ily fell back to 5514 under the weight of enormous offerings. Its close was 56, a one-point loss, on dealings in excess of 180.000 shares. Bethlehem Steel was the sole exception to the general tendency, falling back 2 points In the early dealings and increasing this loss to 4 points. At no time did it figure importantly in the day-s operations. Motor shares, while strong, also lost some of their recent prominence. Harrlmans, the Anthracites, Atchison. Canadian Pacific, Pennsylvania and New York Central rose 1 to 214 points, but failed to hold. Rock Island's feverish course re flected next week s meeting of the share holders by rising almost 4 points, all of which It subsequently lost. The March statement of the United States Steel Corporation, showing a decrease ot 89,622 tons in unfilled orders, compared with the previous month, came out as the market was closing. The figures upset most calcu lations, a slight Increase having been ex pected. Other general news included the weekly reviews of trade conditions, in which distinct improvement was noted. Total sales of stocks amounted to 833.000 shares. - Bonds were strong, but failed to keep pace with the movement in stocks. Total sales, par value, aggregated $2,761,000.

PUBLIC INTEREST 13 AWAKENED InTefltment Oenmnd One of- Factors in Bi Stock Market Week. vew TORK. April 10. Causes more or Iss well defined helped to make tbis one of the most sensational stock market weeks of recent Vears. not only as to activity, bnt ,, of o noted values as well. The fH!nr-s were the continued ad vance in Bethlehem Steel to Its new record price of 11". ven after the directors failed to act on the dividend, and the sudden move in United states oteeu wnicn "y the balance of the llst with It. At its top price of 5S. scored In the eourse of todays furious activity. United States Steel showed a Bain of five points over Its quotation on the day the dividend was suspended and exactly 20 points over the final minimum Imposed by th ateK exchange authorities after that episode. Convincing explanations for the rise, aside from betterment in the steel industry, are still lacking, but a powerful lever was found in the large short Interest which had grown up In that especial stock. Undoubtedly much of Bethlehem Steel's rise was due to a similar cause. JJ Apart from these obvious conditions, how ever, it was evident that public Interest in the stock market had awakened in various quarters, plethora of funds in all parts of the country, the phenomenal growth of the country's foreign trade and general im provement in the domestic situation as re ported by the Government officials, were factors too strong to be ignored Crop pros pects, as disclosed in the latest tabulations from Washington, added to the growing feel ing or optimism. Railroads submitted additional favorable reports for "the preceding months, both as to gross and net returns, even though some of these were effected at the expense of maintenance. Demand for equipment remains disap pointing, but financing now under consider ation will, it is thought, result in the plac ing of orders on a large soale.

GROWTH OF AMERICAN RICE TRADE California Rapidly Coming to Front as Producing State. Thr' has been increased American com mercial activity in rice during the past three years. Imports of rice averagea fLhour s2.OOO.00O. and of rice flour, meal and broken rice about $2,250,000 annually dur- inp ths fiv. fiscal years 1906-iyiO. Production and prices .of rice in the TTnttri states have fluctuated greatly, hav ing beeen 21,096,000 bushels, valued at 60.8 cents per bushel, In 1904. and 3 2,933,000 bushels- valued at ik cents per Dusnei, in ldGtV. Production from 1008 has always ex ceeded 20,000.000 bushels, and in both 1912 n.i 1913 went over z&.uuu.voo busneis. in 1914, however, tne American crop aroppea to 2S.C49.O00 bushels. The Carolinas, once the leaders In rice-crowing, have been turn ing to other crops, while Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas have been planting much larger areas 813.200 acres In 1913 out of a total for the country of 827.100 acres. The most noted recent increase haa been California, which started In rice growing in 1913. when 293.000 bushels were grown, in 1934 California produced 800,000 bushels, the acreage increased from 6100 acres to 16.000 acres, and the 1915 planting will probably exceed this. It is estimated that 200.000 fibres mav finallv be devoted to rice in Call fomia. this being the area suitable to its culture. If this should be accomplished. rice production of the United States should go up to nearly ao.uiw.wu ousneis. Chicago Dairy Produce. CHICAGO. April 10.

COMING PEACE DISCOUNTED Ease of Money Is Powerful Aid to Recuperation Change of Atti tude of PuMic Toward Corpor ations Banks Are Sound. Henry Clew, the New York banker, writes of the financial and Industrial outlook as IOA.Tsigi indicate that we have entered li period of permanent recovery from the war The first effects of that cataclysm were panic, followed by paralysis, then a P 1. 'n,-.! taimaan f&r and confidence. Through all of these phases, the Proce" , of m, ? i Mn,mrriai read1 ustment has been progressing with remarkable steadiness nr.ni fMr b now almost totally disappeared and buoyence is taking Its place. Trade and finance, at least so far as con cerns the United States, have been com pletely adjusted to war conditions; and tne tendency now is to discount in advance the coming of peace. Confidence has been iur ther strengthened by progress of the war itself While it would be unwise to indulge In premature optimism, the hope of an early end is based upon the belief that prepared ness on one side and exhaustion on the other can only bring one result. xuo opinion is that peace will come during the vorsal presentiment in favor of early peace that must nave some juuuu.uu mr. wish. War is the very es sence -ot uncertainty, however, and setbacks must be expectea. aitnougn me ouuuua i- clearer than at any time sine me . m,"1 beSan- , . Among the favorable developments of iva nAanA t. th rhanefi of attitude mt Wash ington and by numerous influential poli ticians toward big business. The slgnifl nf thi rhnnc-a in nolic v will gradu ally be appreciated, inasmuch as enterprise will be stimulated by cessation of the at tacks that have done so mucn to business confidence during the past decade. a favnr.hiA imnrMkion has also been created by a number of court decisions, both in the which have restrained many of the pernicious attacks upon corporate activities, ana w sured our corporations fairer treatment. Banks In Sound Condition. Mnnev continues abundant and easy, and this. too. Is a nowerful aid to recuperation. Our banks are in sound condition, reserves K t t tr hivhnr than at anv time since tne new system went into effect. The strength of the New York monetary situation is illus trated by the freedom with which foreign n At inns are eominir here for capital. Can adian Argentine and Swiss loans have already been nlaced upon tms marset. nouana Also understood to be knocking at the door. Even Great Britain is securing financial ffiMHttos in this market through the exten sion -of credits resulting from our excess of exports. No very extensive London borrow ing frnm this nuarter is likely. Inasmuch as Great Britain has shown marvelous ability to finance the war on ner own account as well as to render financial assistance to her allies. To a very considerable extent. Great Britain is naying the war out of current rev- enue. it being estimated tnat tne country could pay almost Its entire war expenses by giving Up a 1CW lUaUlico, iui.ii a.O uvtuui, iv- bacco, automobiles, etc. This, of course, will not likely bo seriously undertaken, but it shows the wide leeway which Is possible. Our forels-n trade continues to present a remarkable excess of exports, due entirely to abnormal conditions brought about by the war. In February we shipped about $75.- 000.000 more foodstuffs than In the same month last year. Over $10,000,000 in horses and mules were exported to Europe, chiefly for war purposes. In addition many mil lions were expended on munitions of war, the record of which is not yet obtainable. Our February exports to France were $30,000,000 larger than a year ago. To Great Britain $52,000,000 greater than a year ago, and to Italy $20,000,000 more than last year. In March the results promise to be still more astonishing, the total shipments from this port amounting to over $136,000,000. or $48. 000,000 over a year ago. Our imports are still running heavily behind, the March total at this city being lfss than $90,000,000, com pared with $107,000,000 last year. The re duction in imports Is, of course, mainly due to the Iocs of trade with Germany, France and Belgium. Gold Is Xot Needed. Under such circumstances, heavy gold im ports would be ordinarily expected, but the fact that gold is needed more abroad than here, our supply being far beyond require ments, calls for other modes of settlement. Very considerable amounts of foreign se curities have bee a sold in this market re cently, and more are likely to follow, es pecially should this market continue Its present advance. On the other hand, the new foreign Issues referred to above and the granting of credits to foreign countries will tend to absorb this balance and restrain gold imports. In this connection it Is of interest to note that the Administration at Washington ha3 apparently withdrawn its objections to the floating of loans for the belligerents in this country. The most emphatic reminder that the stock market has successfully faced the war crisis, was the abolition of minimum prices by the Stock Exchange. This is a most en couraging declaration of financial lndepend. etice, wiucn cannot dui nave a wnoiesome influence throughout the whole financial world. It means that we no longer have fear of foreign dumping, and that this mar ket has shown its capacity to meet all legitimate demands. Speculation on the exchange has broad ened considerably and shown widening activity, the transactions In stocks and bonds during March being much larger than for several months past. There has been a good investment buying, and the whole mar ket shows a healthy tone in spite of the ex cessive and somewhat sensational advance in certain specialties. Such features must be expected while the war lasts, especially in securities which benefit from war contracts. This phase of speculation may, however, be easily carried to tne Ganger point. General Trade Improving. General trade Is quiet, but improving. More activity is shown in the iron and steel industries, also in the textile trades, al though the volume of business is still much below normal. Some of the railroads are making better returns, partly as a result of the advance In rates, but the volume of traffic does not as yet show any Important Increase. Should the present spirit of hope fulness which exists In financial centers ex tend to commercial and industrial circles; as it probably will, we may look for better reports irom ine ranroaua. It is a little early to form any opinions about crops, but the agricultural classes as a whole are prosperous, and the present Soring will undoubtedly see increased ef forts to augment ins yieius, parnuuiariy ui food and animal proaucts, wnicn are cring ing war prices. This market has now experienced a very considerable advance, and more or less profit taking must be anticipated, especially should events of an unfavorable nature oc cur. The outlook, however, is for continued improvement; and a widening of activity would prove more satisfactory and sounder than any spectacular aavance at, hub ma t all nrobabllitv the market will show wider and more frequent fluctuations, af fording good trading opportunities. . SHEEP SHEARING ACTIVE INTERIOR MARKET - FOR OREGON WOOlT NOT YET OPENED. Eastern TraSe la Quiet With South Americas Clips Still a Factor. Mohair Finn. The weekly market letter of" the Portland Wool "Warehouse Company says: Our correspondents In the East report a quiet market, with a tendency on th. part of :ow wools to advance, while fine wool, urn maintaining a sready market. The only weak spots reported in the last week are off grades of scoured wool, which are shad ed a little to clean them up befor. the new season starts South American wools ars still a factor In th. market, and dealers are trying to maks tho most ot sny small lot of cheap wuola that ars offered to bear the market Three-eighths and ons-querter-blood South American, which compare with our Valley wools, are ell.rea arouaa w io o-c ioay, clean, wtalla th. domestic ons-iuartsr and thres-slshlhs ars s.Ulns; trod Hc io ac, with a good demand.

There are still a few lots of Australian wools offeieA that were purchased a long t me ago and show a fine profit at the pre vailing prices offered, but they are la reality cheaper than the same wools sold In the last London sales, and when recent pur chases from abroad arrive in Eastern mar kets, they must sell at a higher price to show a profit. Advices from Australia du nots that there Is in estimate of th. short age In the Australian clip this year of 400.000 bales, or l.MI.OOO.OuO pounds, ana there is no question in tne wunu mi this shortage will have its effect on all markets of the world.

When the exhibit reaches its des tination it will be wheeled into place, the outside boxing removed, wires at tached to two electric motors and it will be in motion, with the exception of a few large charts which remain stationary and in view all the time. A small motor keeps in action a flock of two dozen dummy Plymouth Rock hens. Some of them are scratch ing in the straw on the floor of the house, others are walking around, some are hunting for bugs in the green turf on the outside yard. Oc casionally one will be seen to stop and take a drink out of a drinking fountain and once In a while one will enter the trap nest and the door will close behind her. The projection machine, wnicn buowi 62 slides and enlarges them to two feet square on the screen at one end of the exhibit, works automatically, dropping a slide in front of the lens every so often. With the exception or tne projection machine, tho entire exhibit was de signed and put together at the college. The mechanical features operating the chickens and the movable charts were desiened and constructed by A. O. Jackson, of the college cabinet shops.

A meeting of the farmers of this vicinity was held st the MrKinley School Thursday night. Byron Hunter, of Pullman, spoke on whether an agri cultural expert for Takima County was wanted or not. Mr. Hunter found the farmers not as interested as he had hoped. Mr. Hunter does not think it an opportune time for appointing an expert. Nine counties in the state have agricultural experts.

Vic off to tc up. compared with last night. Corn finished 4fcc to eVto down, oais varying from He decline to He advance and provisions at a rise of 2ic to 2oc. Wheat st th. start underwent a din. owing to good rains over th. greater pert of the Winter crop territory that had b-n complaining of dry weather. On th. break, however, shorts who tried to cover found offerings to hav. become surprisingly small. Cable reports that th.

The bulls were handicapped by the slowness of cash demand. Buying of oats appeared to b only of a scattered sort. Accordingly, the market had an easy tone.
