COAST MILLS HAVE ORDERS General Advance of Twenty Cents Barrel Is Announced Wheat Finn With Jiroader Demand and Fewer Offerings. AH tfrades of flour were advanced 20 cent a barrel yesterday morning, which puts the market on the basis of 3 for patent. This U the price that pievalled throughout June, a 20-cent decline having occurred at the opening of the current month. The present rise was not unexpected in view of the strength of .the wheat market, but It is evident also that flour values have become firmer because of the broader de mand for that commodity. There is a dif ference of opinion as to the amount of busi ness booked for shipment to the Southern states, but the aggregate is believed to be fslrly large. Most of this business has been secured by mills in the interior. It was said yesterday, however, that at least one of the tidewater mills had accepted an order from the South for flour. It was because of this new trade, more than anything else, that the wheat market has been more active in the past week. While individual mill purchases havo not been large, the total turnover was the best by far for any recent week. Offerings on the part of farmers have decreased, which Is not surprising, since the wheat market has . turned stronger. About a week ago quite a number of growers appeared to be gnttlng ready 10 sell, but the advance in prices caused them to change their minds about letting to. . Nor was any wheat to be had in the local market yesterday, as not a single offer to sell was posted at the noon session of the Merchants' Kxchai.ge, the first time this has occurred In months. Bids for prompt delivery white wheat were unchanged, while August delivery was Is to 2 cents higher. Ilea wheat bids were about 2 cents higher. The only cereal for which an asked price was named was oats, but bids were 50 cents lower than th previous day and no deals were closed. Earlier in the week 500 tons of oats were sold on the board. Barley bids were unchanged yesterday. Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Portland Falurdav "S ear ago . 1 Total this week. 311 "Year ago 4 Keeson to date.. 7M 1 en r ago 2 1,1 Tacoma Krlilay 15 Year ago " 15 heason to date..

Northern apricots are beginning to make their appearance and the first straight car from Wenatchea will be on hand about -Wednesday. They will sell at $1.23 a box. A few small express lots have already ar rived. Wenatcheo growers xect a heavy crop, but the length of the season will de pend on the weather. TCarly- local peaches and California freestones are selling fairly well. . Pears have dropped sharply, but southern plums are firmer, as the season is nearly over. California Gravensteln apples In four and four and one-half tiers are meeting with a good demand. Oregon Astrachans will be available In about week. Small fruits were steady. Potatoes and onions are gradually declin ing. The first crop of Karly York and Wlnnlngstadt cabbage "is about finished and Kiat Dutch and the later varieties, includ ing ranish Italrihead. are being handled. Tomatoes ore coming front all the producing sections of California and prices are on a reasonable basis. -There la a temporary scarcity of peas, as the first crop is finished and the second not quite ready for market. Local green and wax beans are m large supply. C.ICKMAN'R SKK VALl'E IN WOOL Now Hold Thirty Million Ttollars Worth of Argentina Product. The Englisji wool trade has been greatly xi-tted ly the information, published re cent !y, that German buyers hold Argentine w ool in Buenos Aires to the value of ap proximately $:;0,000.000. This means that the buyers huve about doubled the amount of wool they owned, as compared with, that cent rnled about a year previous. It Is a matter of common knowledge that the Ger mans have made many efforts to obtain the bulk of the South American clip. The purpnse of accumulating this vast aupply was to have it quickly available for shipment to tJermany at the close of the war. It has been suggested that German financiers art anxious to invest their .money In wool and other raw material which will have considerable value after the war. This is considered, says the Boston Trans cript, a better investment than the securi ties of their own government. Reports from Australia indicate that pas toral conditions at present are excellent and a" good clip of wool is probable. A enrreepondent says t hat, if tha conditions continue to be utisfactory, a splendid clip Is aspuretl. The season In New' Zealand a in reported to bo satisfactory and no complaints are heard from . South Africa, The labor question is very much in evi dence in all countries, but It is felt that the season generally w!U b satisfactory if good weather continues. fcYA TO R A T K I Ml LK I S sCAKCK NOW VnuaunI Vo reign aud Domett Us Demapd Cause Advance. On of the numerous articles which have severely felt the demand of the war and of our own domestic preparations for trou fble on the Mexican border is condensed milk, and at just this season of the year, when condensed milk has an unusually large domestic demand, it has made tne product especially scarce.

It was esti mated that as much as 1,000, COO bushels at the seaboard was disposed of for shipment to Europe. Part of the total was definitely Bald to be domestic grown, the rest Cana dian. Liverpool dispatches indicated some renewal of anxiety in regard to the ade quacy of supplies. Corn prices were lifted by word that the erop was firing in Illinois, Missouri and Kan sas. Temperatures above 3 00 were report ed In the Southwest and there was serious complaint of the absence of rain. In oats, ss In other cereals, crop damage reports acted as a handicap on the bears. Moreover, the call from the seaboard was good and stocks were expected to show a big decrease for the week. Provisions rallied on account of the strength of grain. At first the market had been depressed, owing to a big decline in the value of hogs. Leading futurt-s ranged as follows: "WHEAT. Open. High. Low, Close. July l.o$'4 $1.1:: $l.os- $1.11.

A leading authority In the trade says: "The present situation Is different from anything I-ha've seen before, and I hope 1 wlil not see it sgaln. If the shortage In beans becomes much worse It will mean a practical end to business, as the supplies In the market are unusually small. Great Britain has stripped Manchuria and Japan of beans. This was done soon after the crop was harvested last Fall. We cannot import from Austria because of the war. Russia and France need all their own pro duction. The United States has consumed annually much greater quantities of beans then have been produced here, and It la easily seen why the present shortage has developed. "California normally produces about one quarter of the beans grown In the United States, Michigan about a half and New York a quarter. California has a full crop this year, but the rains in New York and Michi gan make it doubtful If there will be more than a quarter crop there. The prospects for next year ere for a half grop." While no statistics on the annual ttrodue J tion of beans in this country are available. it i o vBiimuiea rougmy mat lu.nuu.uiu bushels are harvested yearly. As an ele ment In increasing the present shortage, which appears to ' grow worse steadily. It was mentioned that the Belgium Relief ( ommittee has purchased between 300 and 400 cars. Canada about the same quantity and Greece has bought several shiploads. "The report that Government demands for the use of the Army on tho Mexican border have been responsible for the rise in the price Is incorrect said a large handler of beans. "So far as I know not an order from the Government has been placed In the mar ket. I have not heard of any inquiries. The Mexican situation hat had no effect on con ditions. Whatever supplies the Army has taken probably came from the ctnnrri wno have materials on hand." LINEN OUTPUT CHECKED COST OF' FLAX WORRIES BRITISH MILLS. Supplies of Raw Material Are In- sufficient to Meet Needs ot Manufacturers. The high cost and shortage of flax iu reported to be seriously checking the pro duction of linens by the Irish. Scotch and h.ngiish mills. Raw material available la said to be insufficient to meet the needs of the mills in Belfast, aud at present there docs not appear to be much relief In slcht ior several months. Shipments were ex pected from Russia, but the railroads run ing through various flax producing sections are so congested with frroops and army sup plies that freight shipments for ordinary commercial purposes are exceptionally dif ficult to arrange for.

Tho run of salmon in tho Columbia River Is still backward, owlnc to tho hlca ater. tp to data the pack has been about 40 to 43 per cent ot normal, and about 50 per cent of thw birr pack of last year. The season is pretty, well advanced now. but the packers have hopea of turnlnR out tho ttsuat quantity. Tho run la certain to Improve when tho river drops two or three feet more and with, a fall of five tset the catch should bo all they can take care of. Off the bar the boats have been dolnr well for aeveral days, but very few Hah are being caught Inside. On the upper river, however, toward the Cascades, the els are doins; a little better. The market Is In a very firm position, but there is not likely to be any chance from th- opening prlcea on Columbia River chlnooka. as th. canners hav. sold most et tha pack ahead to their regular customers. In the Kast the salmon trade haa an idea that the deficiency in the rack cannot be made up at this late date, but packera on the river do not agree with them. Hall advice, from the East aay: 'Columbia River aalmon ar. very firm. and all advices from the Coast reiterate the disappointing volume ot the pack. Ac cording to present indications the run will not exceed SO per cent of last year's. due to tlie high wsters prevailing through out the Spring. The season Is now so far advanced tbat it is Impossible to make up the loss already austalned. Red. Alaska la also very firm, with most holders ask ing tl.Ci. but it Is said that It Is still possible to buy at Sl.tiiMj in occasional instances. Tlnk salmon is firmly held at P3 rents by most holders, and aome are asking 071, certs and SI. Yet it was possible to buy at 02 cents, and one important house waa willing to sell r.ooo esses at that figure. As a mater of fact, the underlying situa tion appeara to be strong, with an advanc ing tendency, wire it not for the fact that there is .till some to be had here and there the lower figure. As matters atand. holders at the higher figure are wining te stand back and let the cheaper men get the business la the belief that their own will be worth more when thla is out ef the market.
