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:

OREGON HOPS MARINO GOOD PROGRESS
Full Crop Looked for. but Future of Market
Is Uncertain.
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.

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. Panama

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.

RECOVER FROM 1R
Trade and Finance" Adjusted
to New Conditions.
COMING PEACE DISCOUNTED
Ease of Money Is Powerful Aid to
Recuperation Change of Atti

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

Through all of these phases, the Proce" , of

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

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

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. .

South American wools ars still a factor

There are still a few lots of Australian
wools offeieA that were purchased a long

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

order effective April 5 is the first of th.
various quarantine orders for foot and

to the quarantined area and consists en
tirely of modifications because of lmprovea
conditions. In connection with the laet
that for a brief time on April 1 there wer.

Damage to Bench Lnnd Orchards
Near Toppenish Is L-ight.
TOPPENISH. Wash., April 10. (Spe
cial.) Heavy frosts Thursday night
did some damage to fruit In the low
lying ground, but little in the bench
land orchards.
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.

CLOSING TONE UNSETTLED
Offering Pass Into Mrouj Hands
and Sellers Are Cautions Fa
Torahle Weather in Win
ner Crop Territory
CHICAGO. April 10. Evidence thst of
ferings of spot and May deliveries wer.
sslng into strong hsnds forced would-h.
sellers of wheat today to be extremely cau
tious shout acting on bear n.ws. in conse
quence, th. market closed unsettled. 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. Anglo-French snd
Ttninn fleets were asatn attacking th.
defenses of Constantino tended to ease th.
wheat market somewhat during Ui. last
half hour.
Corn sagged early and lata with wheat.
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.
Advances in tho provision market could
be traced largely to th expected resump
tion of hog shipments from here on Monday.
Cash demand from the Houth was said t.
have improved quite a pood deal.
Cash prices were as follows:
