Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND, AUGUST 13, 191G. 15 WHEAT YET HIGHER Another Advance Made in Quo tations for Cereal. RECORD IS AGAIN BROKEN Exchange Prices Go to Highest Point This Season Some Falling Off in Sales Reported Canada Crop Is Big Factor. Xti record for wheat quotation for thU feaion wort aaln brolcan In th Portland market yesterday when the bid price of blueetem went to $1.17 a bushel. The advance recorded was a half cent better than the price prevailing on that ft-rade of wheet for the preceding day and was made In the face of a practically stationary mar ket In Chicago. The advance In bluest em quotations was aoooznpanled by similar or arreater advances In the prloee of the other a-radea of wheat. The greatest advance recorded was In the quotations for red fife, which made a Jump of 2 cents over the ruling price on the preceding; day. Red Russian quotations ad vanced 1 cent over the bid price Friday, and all other grades showed a half cent advance. The new quotations for wheat are: Blue stem. $1.17tt; forty-fold. $1.15; club. $1.12; red fife. $1.10. and red Russian. $1.13. Compared with the quotations ruling a year ago, the price of wheat is particularly satisfactory from the standpoint of the man with wheat to sell. Prices a year ago were from 8 to 17 cents lower on the different grades of wheat. The week which closed yesterday has been one of a steady advance in wheat quotations. The week's advance In quotations was as follows: Bluestem, 8 cents; forty-fold, 8 cents; club. 0 cents; red fife, 9 cents, and red Russian, 8 cents. The sales recorded were numerous, and It is estimated that over 10,000.000 bushels of wheat changed hands during the week in the Pacific North west. The volume of trade was probably greatest during the early part of the week Reports from different wheat centers yes terday indicated a slight slackening in the volume of sales. Dealers reported that offers from the East were not so good ao those made during the middle of the week when prices in the Chicago 'and European markets were making rapid advances. The future of the wheat market depends to a great extent upon the condition of the crop in Western Canada, which is as yet to a great extent an unknown quantity, ac cording to the Northwestern Miller of Au gust 9, which says: "All attention is now centered on "Western Canada. Black rust unquestionably exists In not only Manitoba but In Southern Sas katchewan as well. Samples of wheat cow at Minneapolis prove this. "Damage from rust and heat in Mani toba and particularly the southern part, with Brandon as the center, is conceded. From' the big prospects of July 1 the damage In .Manitoba is claimed to be 30 to 40 per cent. "It will be two or three weeks before vheat in the three provinces will be ready to cut. This means It Is late, and there is fear of possible early froqj. August 8 the temperature around Regtna and Edmonton was down to 44 to 40 degrees. While the clays are usually hot. the wheat appears to he not maturing- as fast as It should. "The presence of black rust in Southern Saskatchewan Is considered an unfavorable condition. Samples at Minneapolis show the rust in some cases Is on the stalk of the plant. With the wheat so Immature those who watched the progress of rust In South Dakota believe that with hot, muggy v. gather it could easily spread and prove the agency for serious damage. The growth Is dense While from present conditions In Western Canada good average crops of all grains can be produced, the final showing depends on the weather, and especially upon whether the existing rust spreads aud becomes active." An estimate of the wheat yield this year for the three provinces of Alberta, Mani toba and Saskatchewan places It between 200.000,000 and 25,000.000 bushels. The yield last year .was 807.000.000 buehols. The anticipated shortage there, cotpled with the shortage in the United State. Is taken by the bulls of the wheat world as a further Indication of record prices this year. Terminal receipts In cars were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Portland, Sat.. . ear ago Total this week. 3 US 70 1T9 3 4 1 48 49 63 24 19 10 37 l!f 251 240 21S 76 117 04 251 1 ... 1 4 5 9 ... 25 144 28 ... 28 107 1 B 3 22 ear ago Season to date.. 414 ear ago 758 Tacoma, Fri. . . .

Oregon's potato crop will be of excep tional quality this year. Judging from the early receipts of those tubers which are row coming In. The potatoes are of good eize, shape, smooth and come up to the requirements of a first-class trade. The cr6p production this year will be lightly below normal, according to the latest estimates available, as Is true In all of the four Western states which compete Su this market. Reports Indicate, however. tUat In all of those states. Oregon Wash ington. Idaho and California, the quality of the potatoes will be high. A Government estimate places the potato crop of Oregon this year at 91 per cent, compared with an average for the last 10 years of 95 per cent. The estimate for the other three states is as follows: Wash ington, this year 0 per cent, for 10 years per cent ; Idaho, this year 86 per cent, 3 years 94 per cent: California, this year 81 per cent, 10 years 90 per cent. An estimate of the potato production In the tour Pacific states, gauged by present crop conditions, places it at 42,000.000 busli e, compared with a production of 48,000. 0to last year. There is a decrease in acre age In those four states of approximately 8S.030 acreV The loss in both acreage and production, h Is estimated. Is the greatest in California. The anticipated decrease in potato pro suction should make for a good market en Ihe Coast. However, other things may coun terbalance this, including crop conditions in the East. The crop in the East is good this year, and according to the best infor mation available the potato production this et-ason will reach 375,000.000 bushels, com pared to S69.0OO.000 bushels a year ago. However, local dealers are not of the opin ion that the Increased production in the East will affect the market materially here, wing to the fact that "but few potatoes are ahtpped East from this market. At the present time the potato market is In a somewhat unsettled condition with varying prices. Dealers are paying as s rule from S5 to 60 cents a bushel for the tisw crop, and commission-ho use quotations range from $1.25 to 1.35 a hundred. It Is anticipated, of course, that these prices will be materially lowered by the Influx of potatoes on the market later In the season. Practically all last year's crop potatoes are now off tb market. II IDE MARKET FAIRLY GOOD HERE Good Demand for Leather for Export Re ported From East. The hide market continues fairly good In Portland. Quotations remain unchanged and a fair movement of the product is re ported. Advices from la.rge Eastern centers Indi cate that while the domestic market for hides Is generally easier and trading is spasmodic there Is still a good demand for leather for export. Dun's Review says of the New York hide market: "Country hides In all sections continue low, with the tendency downward. Few sales are znade.u tanners show a lack of Interest for all "varieties and extremes now are In even less demand than buff weights." TOMATO MARKET CONTENTM FIRM Increased Supplies of Cauliflower Now Ceme -to Local Market. The market for tomatoes continues firm, with a very good volume of business. For mer prices prevail. A carload was received from California yesterday and is probably the last which will come from that section this season, as the local product is expected to be sufficient to supply the demand from now on. Increased supplies of cauliflower are now coming In, It la anticipated that a drop In quotations on this vegetable will materialise during the coming week. PEACH MARKET SHOWS RATHER WEAK Liberal Receipts of Peaches Received From California, As a result of liberal receipts from Cali fornia and other points the peach market here Is believed to be weaker than In most other sections of the country, although -a good volume of trade is reported. Prices are not ranging above 75 and 80 cents for the best grads. The market Is also well supplied with Crawford s. Donglae Melon Crop Promising. ROSE1BU.RG. Or., Aug. 12. (Special.) That the watermelon crop In Douglas County will be bigger this year than ever before Is the belief of the growers. Better prices axe expected this year than in previous sea sons. Douglas County will produce several carloads of melons, half of which will be shipped to the Eastern mark eta As in past years, the largest crop will come from the Dlllard district. Bank Clearings.

CORN RECORDS GOOD GAIN Wheat Market Influenced by Escape of Canadian Crops From Serious Damage by Frost Railway Mediation Also Factor. CHICAGO, Aug-. 12. Almost corn pis to capo of the Canadian crop last night from x pee tod serious damax by frost tended to day to ease down to some extent the wheat market here. Closing prices, although un settled, were He to lo net lower, with Sep tember at $1.4Z to S1.43, and December at $1.40 to 1.40H. Com wound up c to He higher and oats gained Ho to He. Provi sions finished at a range varying from 80c decline to a raise of 10c Assertions that railway war mediation had failed ted to a transient advance In the wheat market at the beginning of the late hour of the session. During the final trades, however, the outlook was that a strike might yet be averted and that exporters were therefore not to be confronted with a possi ble immediate comparative famine of sup piles for Europe. Corn developed strength. Influenced large ly by the bullish nature of the Illinois state crop report. Oats bulged as a result of Canadian damage reports.

IDAHO SHIPPERS OBJECT RATE OX FR11T PROTESTED A.D FIGHT IS PROPOSED. Southwestern Section. Hard Hit by Spring Frosta. Wants Product of Northern Section. BOISE. Idaho. Aug. 12. (Special.) Southern Idaho shippers and growers are up In arms over the tariffs filed with the Put) Ho Utilities Commission by the Oregon Short Line Railroad Increasing rates on fruit In carload lots from (i0 to $30 a car. The tariff is effective August 25. but the Com mission will endeavor to have it suspended aud carry a fight on it to the Interstate Commerce Commission, where there Is a complaint of th Iaaho Commission pend ing against the tariff increasing refrigerator rates try tne urt-gon tnort uine. Growers and shippers of fruit here who have been hit hard by the crop shortage a eel are that the proposed increase in rates. If thoy are allowed to stand, will mean almost the ruin of the fruit Industry, and State Horticultural Inspector Guy Graham asserts that orchards In Southern Idaho will have to be cut down In order that mora profitable crops can be raised. If euoh mgn rates Become eriectlve. Southwestern, and In fact all emit hern. Idaho offers a rich field to the fruit growers of Northern Idaho, particularly the LewUton section, where fruit Is plentiful if the srowers and ihinners there can for ward part of their crops to this part of the state. The late frosts of last Spring virtually Kiuea on tne small iruit crop, ami there is many a housewife unable to pay the prices for the small amount of fruit on the market. Were it possible to relieve this condition by shipping In fruit irora ins nonnern pan or tne state so that It could reach the Southern Idahso markat to be sold at reasonable prices, the shippers ju::i vumiy reap n ricn narvest in tne returns. WOULD FIX 'BOX SIZE BILL. PASSED BY HOtE CAUSES FAVORABLE COMMENT. Action Is Now I'p to the Sena ite. Plan In Standnrdlzlnsr Berry Basket la Outlined. Action of the House In passing tha -nones: grape ana oe-rry Datet bill, sponsored 1-y Fepr?sentatlvs Tteavls. of Ne braska, and preecrlbirt; dimensions for standard baskets used tn the interstate shipment of grapes, small fruits and 'ber ries, has caused a gr.-at deal of favorable, comment among fruit men. The bill was urged by fruit growers for protection against competitors using undersized containers. The Mil has been sent to ths Senats and is awaiting action there. The terms of the bill were explained on the part cf the Mouse committee on coin asre. weights and mfasurt-s in Its report, as follows: "The climax basket specified In tha first portion of the bill is the name of a stand ard basket which has been generally used by the grape growers of the country. This basket Is not manufactured by any riven manufacturer, but Is generally known by the term -cllrr-ax basket. "The demand for legislation, with refer- ence to fixing- av standard for climax bas kets, comes from the state of New York and other grape-growing communities. Up to tnis time tms basket has not oen standardised as to size, and for that rea son those grapegrowers who are pursuing a legitimate Industry, and who are honest ly endeavoring to give their customers full measurements, are suiiering considerable loss because of another class of a rape mer chants, who are selling the same com modity in baskets which they call climax Baskets, but wnicn, in fact, are smaller in capacity than the baaket aeneraUy knorwn to the trade as the climax basket. It Is in the Interest of honesty tn this commerce to standardise the sue of the basket, and the bill accomplishes this pur pose. "The second purpose of the bill Is to standardize baskets and other containers which differ from the climu basket so as to Insure honesty In the fruit, berry and vegetable business when resort Is had to a different basket the container. The request for a standard smaller basket for berries, etc., comes largely from the South anl Middle West. "There are two classes of quarts known to the trade. One Is called the 'dry quart and the other the 'wine' or fluid ouart The dry quart contains approximately one- tnira greater capacity than the 'wine or 'fluid' quart. Legitimate berry and fruit merchants have been disposing of their product by 'dry quart and fractions and multiples of the 'dry quart, but they are constantly harassed and annoyed by com petition which disposes of the same com modity by the wine' or "fluid quart, with the representation that they are selling full quarts. The bill takes as lis standard the 'dry quart and fractions thereof. "The penalties In the bill apply only to Interstate commerce in the containers, for the reason that the committee on principle and policy was opposed to attempting legis lation with reference to intrastate business. "The enactment of this bill, so universal ly requested, will promote honesty In the berry and fruit business; will insure the customer receiving the full quantity of the product which he seek to purchase and will destroy the piratical competition from which the legitimate fruit growers and mer chants are now suffering so severely."

Predictions that the export trade of the United States will continue active following the war are made by Henry Clews in his weekly financial letter. Ha saya In part: "When the war ends It Is practically cer tain that big foreign orders will be received from abroad for railroad equipment, indus trial planta and other reconstruction re qulrements which Europe cannot meet, it has been estimated by high authority that $3,000,000,000 will be required to replace the necessary plants and property thus far de stroyed In Belgium and France, and that a goodly portion of such orders must come to the United States. If this supposition proves true, our export trade, especially of steel products, will continue active after the war with a consequent stimulus upon many other industries."

APRICOTS FOR WASCO COUNTY AGEXT CHASE EXPECTS LARGE IX CREASE IX ACREAGE. Co-operation -Clears Section of Malheur of Rabbits Pints and Clover In Josephine County. . CORVALIUS. Aug 12. (Special.) Half a doxen county agricultural agents report activities to state Leader Marls this week as follows: Wasco County The last few days, with the expert help of F. Galligan, we have been setting In thousands of cherry buds in ths young sprouts of tres whers we did not get a good stand of Waterhousa scions last Spring. I have been trying to give some demonstrations to growers so that they can do much of their own budding, thus fa cilitating the work. Cherry buds are rather harder to make stick than most fruit, but by putting In a greet many ws expect to get a good stand of buds. We are satisfied that this country can grow good apricots. The commercial com panies now here can care for several times the amount that they are now getting and it Is simply a question of a bigger acreags and a better prod uct- Apricots should be carefully thinned early In the season, which will avoid eo much of the undersized fruit now hunting for a market, and materially increase the weight of th remainder. When it Is remembered that apricots will bear a fair crop at four years of age, that they are low headed, comparatively easy to pick and handle, that diseases are few and that the apricots can only be grown In a few favored sections with success. It Is rea sonable to expect, a great Increase In apricot acreage tor this section. A. R, Chase. Malheur I was asked by two farmers for help In establishing an Individual pumping plant to Irrigate about 200 acres. I took them over Into Idaho to examine several pumps In operation that a local Idaho man has Invented. We found that this type of pump was more efficient than most pumps and they will now go ahead and develop their land. The last two days of the week I spent looking over the ground where the rabbit campaign was csrried on last Winter. I find that In ths Willow Creek country, and other places where the rabbits were fought around the hay stacks, that there are few rabbits, " but between Ontario snd Vale, where the people would not co-operate to the best advantage, the rabbits are so numerous that they are doing much damage to the crops, having taken several acres of alfalfa and more of grain. Nineteen ranchers were visited last week. Last week I visited a section where a small group of dry farmers are trying three of my demonstrations. One of these was planting clean seed potatoes. This man who planted the clean sed will get about 50 bushels per acre, while several of his neigh bors crops will not be worth harvesting'. I also secured some flax for two parties to plant In this neighborhood ; one planting is too thick and the other Is on three piots; new ground, ground last year In peas, and a third plot that was In com last year. Thst on ths pea ground Is a good crop, that on the corn land fair, while that on tne new ground is not good. One of the troubles that I find with demonstrators 1s thst they axe usually handling a small plot and consequently fall to follow directions. It Is much bettor to get a big lot ot something planted that you can watch carefully. W. W. Howard. AL OUTCOME III DOUBT Railway Mediation Failure Causes Drop in Stocks. UNUSUAL FEATURES FOUND Wall Street Business In Copper Re cove rs From X tha rpy G rea t Britain Said to Be in Mar ket for That Metal. NEW TORK, Aug-. 13. Ths end of a moderately aotiTs and Irregular week found ths financial district mors than srsr In doubt regarding th outcome of, th contro versy between tns railroad managers snd their 400. OOO of organised emplojes. Fall- , urs of ths mediation conference ot which Wall street seemed so hopeful, was fol lowed by some heaviness In Important rails, but the list In general held firm as a final break was not reported. Another unfavorabla condition was fur nished by ths Government crop report, which bore out some of the mors peseimlstlo esti mates of damage to corn and wheat tn ths VWst and Northwest. In spits ot these dis closures, little impression was made upon prices of stocks most likely to be affected by reduced crops. El where ths market presented unusual features and cross-currents. The nominal decrease in tonnage for July shown by the Unites. States Steel Corporation indicated no cessation In that Important industry and the quarterly and monthly statements of Independent manufacturers of fabricated steel and iron were of- a most hopeful tenor. Coppers recovered from their long period of comparative Inactivity on signs of a renewal of last year's enormous Inquiry from abroad. It Is understood that Great Britain Is In ths market for supplies In ths metal running into the millions of pounds. NEW LOAN WHISPERED GREAT BRITAIN SAID TO WAXT (230,000,000.
