EASTERN DEMAND URGENT Ten Iays Will Clean Vp Surplus in Northwest at Present Kale. Highest Prices of Season Are Being Paid. TAie. wheat market wai strong yesterday with actual prices well above the top mark established last month. In the country prices were equal to those current here and In some cases may have surpassed Portland quotations, so keen was the demand for wheat to ship East. There was also a mar ket at tidewater for wheat, and taken all together the market developed more strength than at any time heretofore this season. While the volume of business is not as heavy now as earlier, when stocks were heavy, yet there appears" to be a general selling sentiment throughout the country. It was estimated yesterday that total trans actions since Friday morning aggregated fully 1.000,000 bushels. If business keeps up at tills rate, the remaining supply of wheat In the Northwest will be cleaned up In about 10 days. . The car situation did not show much change. Nearly all the shippers are getting some cars, but none of them all they want. The fact that the shortage is not becoming more acute Is regarded as a favorable sign. At the Merchants Exchange, wheat bids were advanced '1 4o 5 cents over Friday's prices. Except for red Russian, all the offers were in the 60s. The oats market was firm, and b'lds were ev quarter higher. It was said prices are at a point where business can be done with the East, but no such trade has been re ported yet. The barley market was quiet and offers were 50 cents under Friday's. An Eastern firm, in a current circular, enters Into an exhaustive discussion of the wheat supplies of the world, claiming that world's requirements will this year be COO.000,000 bushels, and that the total sup plies from all countries are only 490.000,000 bushels. They say: "The outlook is. there fore, for a continuing high price, especially when the supplies from this country begin to show exhaustion." It is pointed. out that the export surplus from this country cannot be more than 00.000,000 bushels, with a minimum reserve, and that half of this has already been exported. Their estimate of the corn crop Is 2.647, S32.O0O bushels. Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: . " Whfat HarJey Flour Oats Hay Portland.

There Is a wide difference in the opinions expressed by onion men as to the condition of the market. While a few claim the situation Is satisfactory, others declare the market Is Inflated and In a bad way. It Is said that a few California speculators, who t bought here early, are, now trying to hold up the market at an artificial level while they unload before prices break. The local quotation is maintained at $2.50 at f. o. b. points and while there Is an out let In Montana and the Northwest for a limited quantity at this price, the quotation Is out of line with Eastern markets. It is said a few cars could be moved to New Ycu at ?2 and it Is declared this Is the extreme price Justified by present condi tions. The California market Is reported heavy, with large stocks, speculators hoMIng 270 cars In cold storage there and about 12'l cars In dry storage, while In Oroscn some 300 cars remain. Stocks held by Oregon growers In their own onion-houses are keep ing we!l. but with warehouse stocks tt Is said to be different. If, as Is reported, the speculators are Playing the old game of Inducing Oregon . onion-growers to hold the market up to a fictitious price while the traders get the profits, it Is well for the growers to make r themselves acquainted with the facts. HOP PRICES ARE HOLDING VP WELL Large Volume of Business In Coast States In Loot Few Days. Hep trading has Increased In -volume In the last few days. About 29O0 bales have changed hands In Oregon, Washington and California, at prices ranging from 11 to 13 cents. The best prices were current In the Taki ma section. Amcng the lots sold were 173 bales by Paul Lundahl at 12 cents. 181 bales by Frank Jackson at 12'4 cents. 05 bales by George Carr at 12 hi cents, several lots aggregating 400 bales at 13 cents and 300 bales at prices ranging from 11 to 114 ceniS. i Oregon sales, the particulars of which were not given out. were said to amount to 600 or 700 bales at 10 to 11 cents, be sides numerous lots of common hops at lower prices. , Wires from California re ported sales of Sacramentos at 11 and 1H4 cents. While hop men. growers as well as dealers, are keenly Interested In the results of the prohibition elections In the East, they derived somo comfort from the word that the dry laws In the principal states affected will not go Into effect until 1919. The trend of things, however. 13 plain, and there is likely to be considerable reduction In the Pacific Coast hop acreage In fthe coming year. NAVEL ORANGE SEASON HAS OPENED Further Advance in Cranberry Market la Ex pected boon. The first straight car of navel oranges to reach Portland this season will arrive to morrow. These oranges have passed the Government test of 8 to 1 and shippers ad vise that the stock is very well colored. During the first few weeks of the navel or ange season the oranges are expected to run heavily to 173s and smaller, which means a premium on 150s and . larger. The first shipment of Japanese oranges Is due to ar rive In the coming week. The Eastern cranberry market Is very firm and dealers find It almost Impossible to bu more at the present time. The trade looks for a price advance at almost any time. Loeal cranberries are closely sold up. The apple market was steady at the close of the week with the demand chiefly for the lower priced grades. Both Oregon and California cauliflower is now In market. Supplies of Southern toma toes are fair. All small California vege tables are firm in price, and because of the scarcity and high price of canned goods, the trade anticipates a strong market for fresh vegetables through the Winter. The potato market continues quiet and no favorable change in the situation is expected until transportation conditions Improve. DECREASE IN FAILURE RECORD Slatittics for October Are Highly Favorable as to Liabilities. With business generally prosperous, fi nancial obligation are met with greater promptness and the country's failure record continues highly encouraging. Strictly com mercial defaults numbered 1240 during Oc tober and the aggregate liabilities were 10 -775,654, as reported by B. G. Dun & Co, as against 1154 -insolvencies for $11,569,078 in the previous month; 1599 for $25, 022. .ISO a year ago; 160 for $29,702,178 In 1914; 1434 for $20,245,406 in 191S, and 1150 In 1912, when the amount involved was $15. 762.337. It thus appears that while thi-re were 90 more reverses than in the shorter month of September, the number was less than in any Octobei back to 1912. with thisj sanallest Indebtedness of any month since May, 1910. Not in any October since 1905 have there been so few large failures as was the case last month, those for SIHO.OUQ or mure num bering only 1-3 and involving $2,241,216 al together. These figures contrast with 30 similar defaults tor $11,829,159 last vear; 4S in 1914 for $16,140,095: 33 In 113 for S.i64.4'.t9. and 21 in 1912 for $5,756,359. After eliminating the reverses of unusual size, there remained 11:27 smaller insolvencies and the amount supplied by these was $8. 531.43. or an avera of ii!.t. This a. er ase compares with $8728 a year ago and is the smallest for the period since litoil. The large suspensions last month occurred as -tlows: stven tor M.113, 3S amon-; manu facturers, only two In The trading class for $253,717, and four In other commercial lines for $874,161. Butter Market Closes Firm. The butter market closed firm with prices well maintained on city and country cream ery grades. Local stocks of fresh were closely sold up, while the reduction In storage supplies Indicates another general advance before long. Similar conditions prevail In the egg mar ket, there being a ready demand at full prices for the best offerings. Poultry and dressed meats were steady al the close. Saturday's receipts were light. Salad Oil Advances Again. Further advances were announced yester day In bulk and case salad oil. Eastern gelatines were also quoted higher. Date prices have an upward tendency. Jobbers have been advised that orders for Fard dates have been , cut 60 per cent. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

Hall", but Profit-Taking Causes Several Setback. Coarse Grains Higher. CHICAGO. Nov. 11. Big export sales In the- United States and heavy frost damage in Argentina gave strength to the wheat market today. The close, although unset tled, was 4 to lHc net higher, with Decem ber at 11.S9U and May at il.93i to $1.93". Corn gained 2 to 2c and oats s to He. In provisions the outcome ranged from 30c de cline to a rise of 25c. Houses with seaboard connections were active purchasers today of future deliveries of wheat. On the other hand, week-end profit taking by miscellaneous holders oper ated at times as a decided offset. It was estimated today that Argentina's export surplus hiU been reduced to 25,000,000 bush, els. Corn mounted to the highest prices this season. Rough weather, export buying and bullish Argentine crop conditldns were laige. ly responsible. lu oats, the principal factor was 'the strength of corn. There was also a good export demand.

New high price rec ords and substantial net gains of 314 to 7gc were sc-jred 'by the wheat market in the v-eek which ended last night. Bullish Argentine advices, resulting in large export sales from the United Stales and from Can ada, were of much effect in lifting quota tions till May ilcllvery of wheat climbed to $1.95'i a bushel. Highest prices yet this season and, there fore, the highest in many years, were thus reached yesterday. chiefly because frost damage in Argentina added to the Injury already done to wheat there by drouth and locusts. The estimates of the exportable surplus in Argentina were cut down yes terday ll.OOO.Ooo bushels, and on previous days had alo been heavily reduced. Anything like accurate knowledge of the amount of European purchasing done as m consequence in North America seemed to be unusually difficult to obtain, but that the totals were of liberal proportions there ap peared to be little doubt. In this connec tion, uneasiness which manr traders evinced at the outset of the week that imports from Canada and Australia would exert a depresslni influence here soon disappeared. Bad weather In Canada Interfered with threshing, and rust was said to be spreadins in Australia. " Election results affected wheat prices only Indirectly and in a transient sort of fash Ion. If at aU. Some authorities professed to trace alternate bulres ami -etbacks to sympathy with alternating ch- ,-ea of val ues in New York stock markel .. said to be more cr less due to election news, but lead ing traders here were by no means agreed that political considerations cut any ap preciable fig-iro of a lasting kind as to the price of wheat. Corn and cats gained respectively about 6 cents and 2 cents a bushel for the week. Export call was active for both cereals, and the Argentine crop situation, as well factor's trerst!l of wet. were bullish Stiff advances formed the rule In pro-li'0-0"'- tn,e 3am"' nsinr from $1 to $2.1-.

TREATiNG GROWN GALL tsiLriiru FOOD FKFKCTIVE in rEBIMKNTS IX JACKSON. EX- l.lackleg I Found In Wheeler- SnJan GrtMN Ioubtful In WtMro True Co-ope ra tion In Crook. CORVALU5. Nov. 11. (Special.) County agents reports to Acting State Leader Kvaiu 1 this week show activity in the usual In- i t crests on the farm : Ja kffon County The greater part of this week was spent In checking over experi ments In the Klamath orchard started by I'ro feasor Henderson. Different materials as sulphur, sulphuric acid and copper sul phate were applied . to the roots of trees affected with crown gall in an effort to find some cure for the crown call. In checking over the results the sulphur was found to kill much of the crown gall, and, further, no blight was found on sulphur treated trees. This Is attrlbui-'d to the fact that click beetles and other Insects work ing on root blight were absent, due to the re pe la nt nature of the sulphur. The results of the experiment has such merit that the manager of the orchard has ordered a car load of sulphur, and Is going to treat all tr.- not for crown gall alone but as a repellant to insects and In that way reduce the blight. Not a case of blight was found in the roots of trees treated with eu.phur where two years ago these trees were badly blishttjd. Claude C. Caie.
