TITE SUNDAY OREGOXTAX, . PORTLAND, JULY 29, 1917: 13 CROP LOOKS BETTER Grainmen Are Now Less Pessimistic. TIME FOR RAIN TO HELP Harvest Area Is Spreading and More Wheat Is Available, but Farm ers Show Little Indication of Selling Good Prices Bid. TTheat prospects In the Northwest have Improved somewhat in the past week. The cool weather has stopped the loss from burning;, though It has not added to the yield. The change In the weather, how ever, has caused a much better feeling to prevail among farmers and dealers, and there Is less pessimistic talk heard than si week aero. Phone messages from several sections of the Inland Empire yesterday told of the prevalence of strong southerly Winds and good Indications of rain. Crop experts believe that with the sub sidence of the hot winds rainfall In. the next few days might add 10 per cent to the wheat crop. As the situation stands today outside estimate for the three states Is 40.000,000 bushels. The harvest area is spreading and with ft more or less urgent demand for wheat ft good business would be developing now If the farmers were In a selling mood. The holders of early wheat, however, are not much disposed to let go now. In some quarters of the trade this is taken as an indication of the attitude the farmers will maintain during the coming season. With the Government getting back of them, so to speak, by fixing a minimum price, it Is considered more than likely that the growers will be slow sellers right along. A small amount of business has been done In the past few days at $2 to the farmer for club wheat. Bids for bluestem and Turkey range from 4 to 5 cents above club. There will be ft meeting of the Merchants' Exchange Association Monday, when a nom inating committee will be appointed to select officers for the ensuing year. The members will also pass upon the matter of resuming tiiilly ' sessions. The Llverpol grain cable said: "Wheat steady; export offers dearer: ar rivals slightly lower. Corn firm: consump tion good; arrivals moderate. Oats strong rood absorption; lighter export offers. "Argentine Weather unsettled, rain In parts: growing crop excellent, but crop ad vcrsely affected. Buenos Aires wheat dull and unchanged. Corn quiet, with small busl cess. Oats easier." Chicago wired the weather forecast for the Middle West: "Continued high tem peratures for the first half of the coming week and only widely scattered thunder showers in sight." Terminal receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Whnt Rar. Fir. Oats. Hay. l 3 IB 24 r.9 o l l 2B f,3 3i 211 1.17 l'J.-i pointed in this respect, with the result that we had to start more from California, and were surprised to find that although Oregon was not drawing on California supplies very heavily, nevertheless their market had ad vanced. , At this time the market is excep tionally firm." EGGS AXD BUTTER ARE STEADY Good Demand for Large liens but Light Ones Are Weaker. The egg market at the close of the week was about steady, but there was no snap to trade. The supply on hand was sufficient for all purposes. Butter was unchanged, with the undertone firm. In the poultry market there was a. good demand for heavy hens at 16 17 cents, but light bens were weaker at 15 a 16 cents. Good Springs sold well at 20921 cents. There was almost no sale for ducks or geese. Dressed veal was firm at 16 cents for the best. Pork was unchanged. New York Batiks Decrease Reserve. NEW YORK. July 28. The actual con dition of clearing-house banks and trust companies for the week shows that they hold U06.891.57O reserve in excess of legal requirements.

Portland A Seattle Railway follow: From W. P. Powers. T. F. and P. A,, S.. P. & S. and Oregon Electric Railway, on line, July 27: "While It was cloudy last night r.nd today in Willamette Valley there has been no rain, but prospects for ruin are good. Some farmers state a heavy rain now would cause more damage than it would do good. These are principally hay grow ers and farmers who have cut vetch for Ped and some Fall grain. It would be their own fault If such crops were damaged by rain, as they apparently made no effort to save same, allowing the hay to remain In cocks Instead of stacking It. I made a trip from Salem to Eugene including Cor vallls line today. Crops between Albany and Salem are in fairly good shape, but there are some very poor crops between Albany and Eugene, particularly between Fayettevtlle and Harrisburg and between Junction City and Eugene, where much flamage has been done by hot weather and winds to hay, grain, beans and potatoes. In this district one can see fine crops which Indicates land has been properly cultivated. 3 found on white land where land plaster liad been ued crops are In excellent condi tion. Practically all of this white land requires drainage and sweeting by lime to produce profitable crops. It also should be Fummer fallowed, to eliminate weeds, but find account so much land being farmed. by renters very little of It being handled In this manner. I do not believe the crop nltu ption Is as serious as depicted In Willam ette Valley, but It would, of course, have been much larger if wo had more moisture during July." From Agent, Albany, July 23 "Cloudy and cooler prospects for a little rain are better." From Agent, Orenoo, July 28 "Cloudy, light south wind and cool; crops no ma terial chang except some grain la being cut." SMALL GAIN IN BUTTER STOCKS Storage Holdings In Northwest Increase Less Than 3 Per cent. Cold storage holdings of creamery butter In the Pacific Northwest on June 15, 1917, were 2.9 per cent larger than on the same date last year. The figures Issued yesterday by the office of markets follows: Pounds. July 15. 1917 1,396.863 July 15. 1916 1,357.881 Reports from 266 storages In the United Ftates show that their rooms contain 63.874.- 878 pounds of creamery butter, while on July 1, 812 storages reported 43.489.442 pounds. The 207 storages that reported holdings on July 15 of this year and last show a present Ftock of 61.273.734 pounds as compared with 78.707,845 pounds last year, a decrease of 1 7.434, 111 pounds or 22.2 per cent. The reports show that since July 1, the holdings Increased 35.9 per cent, while the last report showed that during June, the June 1 holdings Increased 426.7 per cent. Last year the Increase from July 1 to July 3 5 was 46.4 per cent and in June the Increase was 675.2 per cent. BERRIES ARE SCARCE AND HIGHER Active Demand for Cantaloupes and Melons, Potatoes Are Firm. All kinds of berries were scarce yesterday and higher prices were quoted. Cantaloupes end melons were active at unchanged quo tat ions. A straight car of Eiberta peaches Is due tomorrow. There Is still a fair sup jhv of apricots on hand, but the season promises to be a short one. Lemons are rrong and oranges are holding steady, Walla Walla onions are arriving in car lots and they are of fine quality. The com Jng week will about wind up the season for California red onions. - A local Jobber says of the' potato situation 'The long continued hot, dry spell is cer talnly having Its effect on the potato mar Icet.

Applo Growers In Polk Plan to Change Their Orchards.. DALLAS, Or., July 28. (Special.) Prunes have proved aucn a profitable crop In Polk County that Ewing Bros., who own a model apple orchard of 100 acres, con template setting prune trees between the apple trees on iu acres. The apple tree: will be permitted to remain In the orchard until the prune trees are two years old then they will be grubbed out to aive more room for the development of the prune trees. The Polk County apple has an excellen flavor but prices have been so unsettled that Mr. Ewing feels he would rather grow prunes since both yield and price has been good for the past six years. Grain Near Riddle Below Average. RIDDLE. Or., July 28. (Special.) The first threshing to be done in this Valley was begun at the Weaver place, a few miles from town, Saturday. The grain in thl valley is not up to average this year, and the late sown grain Is almost a failure on account of the long dry spell. The prun growers have decided that the prune sea son will be somewhat later this year for the prunes are developing slowly this hot weather. Harvest Starts at Goldendale. GOLD END ALE, Wash.. July 28. (Spe cial. ) A numoer or headers started In th Klickitat Valley this week and by Monday harvesting of the Fall grain crop will be under full headway. Growers say that the Fall grain was not damaged to any great extent by the hot weather and a good yield Is expected. Threshing will start In about two weeks. ppie districts of the East and Middle vvest the crop, while generally in excess of the average for the past ten years. Is less than that of last year. In the Northwest the production is about the same as last year in spite of weather conditions which nave not been the most favorable. Following are the reports of various dis tricts in as much detail as can be secured at this time: Nova Scotia Pears, peaches and plums not grown to much extent. Some increase in apple production. Anticipate 4000 cars of apples, us against 3070 cars during 1916. New England States In general no de tailed reports other than that a normal fruit crop is expected. Alalne Apple crop going to be consid erably below normal vielH Rnmnn vAt-v late. Crop probably between 60 and 70 per cent of normal with considerable of the fruit poor quality. Pears, plums and prunes not of sufficient Importance materially to affect the market. Peach crop promises to be large. New York Baldwins and Greenings will be light, the former particularly eo. The crop of Kings will probably be good. Indica tions now point to an output considerably less than that of the previous season. There will be a considerable decrease in apple production, but a targe yield is expected in peaches, while pears will probably not aver age over GO per cent of a normal cron. New Jersey The apple yield will be lighter tuan me previous season, while peaches will not only show an Increase over last year, but also an Increase over a normal year. The appies consist mostly of the earlier va rieties, which are marketed in nearby dis tricts. Pennsylvania No late detailed reports, al though prospects are for a small Increase in the yield of apples over that of last year. Kjnio uniavorauie growing conditions pre vailed throughout the bloom period, but this seems to have affected only the earlier va rietles. In fact, resrardless of this unfavor able condition. It is now expected that the appie crop irom the state will practically equal a normal production of 2500 cars, as compared with a production last year of 2100 cars. Peaches, however, have been ma terially affected by the unfavorable weather. Output 1b only expected to amount to from 000 to 2200 cars, or a shrinkage of 500 cars rom last year. The apple movement from ne state will take place during September. October and November. Michigan Apples are expected to be a very good crop, with the exception of Bald wins, which are light. Pears reported in good shape, but peaches are extremely light in fact only from 15 to 20 per cent of a normal crop of that commodity Is expected. The plum crop from present indications will be good. Wisconsin No late reports. Virginia Albemarle Pippin and Wlnesap estimated about same as last year, about ne-half normal crop. Yorks and Ben Davis probably around 30 per cent of last year's tonnage, or 40 per cent of a normal yield. The apple estimate for the state is 6000 cars, as against 10,545 last year. W est Virginia Latest reports indicate that so far as apples are concerned about 55 to 65 per cent of a normal crop Is anticipated. The peach crop will be excellent. In fact should break all records, with an esti mated production of some 3500 cars. Indiana The fruit crop is estimated at about 00 to 65 per cent of a normal crop. hat Is as applied to apples. Definite in formation Is difficult to secure, owing to the spotted condition of the orchards. Iowa The apple crop promises to be about 0 per cent better than it was a year ago. while the smalt fruits will run only about four-fifths of the previous year's production. Missouri At the present time indications re that the crop will be very heavy in the Ozark belt. No late reports are avail able from other sections of the state. Arkansas Earlier reports Indicating a substantial Increase over the fruit produc tion of last year are apparently unchanged. Colorado The Grand valley district, in cluding the shipping points of Palisades. Clifton, Fruita "and Grand J unction. Is est I- mated to produce this season about 2sno cars of apples, 6o0 cars of pears and 9O0 cars of Eiberta peaches. These figures rep resent an increase of 200 cars In the pears, while the peaches will be about the same as the previous season, with an Increase of 1O00 cars of apples over last year. Delta Countv is expected to produce 1200 to 15O0 cars of apples ; Montrose County about 50 cars of apples. The output of the Farming on district is estimated at 95 cars of ap pies and 35 cars of Eiberta peaches. Utah No late aetaiiea reports received in dicatlnff any change from the earlier re ports which promised about So per cent of a normal yield, as against an almost entire failure last year. California The present season is looked forward to by the growers as likely to be a prosperous one. The yield of both apples and pears should be heavier than last year. Texas The state has compiled figures showing the estimated production of fruits for the coming season, ana tney rigure mot about 450 cars of apples, 300 cars of pears mid 15O0 of ueaches will move. This rep resents practically a normal yieia lor app:es and pears, but only about 20 or 25 per cent of a normal peach yield. Washington The Yakima and wenatcnee Vallev, the heaviest producing sections or the state, promise a yield abot equal to tinf rtf ln-Kt vear. The w ana waua dis trict will also produce a tonnage about like that of last season, while the fc-pokane district will show a considerable shrinka ge. due to unfavorable weather conditions. The following figures represent the estimates of the principal commodities ior me various Washington districts: Appies rears reaenrs riuma Yakima 8,o-j yii i,ouo Xbi wAnt,.A 6 983 Wall- Walla ... 540 38 205 805 Others SS0 ijotaj 16,605 1,009 1,800 492 In addition to these figures the Spokane district will probably produce aDout tsuo to 650 carloads of all fruits. Definite Informa tion as to how this number will be divided among the different commodities is not now available. . , Oregon Reports complied oy ine i-Tuit vrnwArx' AeenCT rBpreBeii Li n k mo growers of the Northwest, Indicate that the Hnnd River district, comprising oom me Hnnd River Valley and Mosier district, will probably ship 1200 cars of apples during this season, while the Rogue River Valley and districts In the western part of the state will probably produce a total of some 1500 cars, thus making tne estimated pro duction of apples for the state 2700 carloads, Idaho Estimates for the southern part of the state give 2200 cars of apples from that district, while the Lewiston district is credited with being able to produce 250 to 300 cars of apples this year. Montana Estimated production In apples Is 500 cars, all of which will come from the Bitter Root Valley. 1 1-ounce flannel, l.OOO.OOO yards 1 S-ounce dark blue cloth and 500.000 yards. 30-ounce overcoating. This is 2.750.000 pounds of fin ished cloth, which represent at least 6,000, 000 pounds of wool In the grease. It had been rumored in the New York wool market that several large lots of Cape wools had been sold to the Government lately, and dealers believed that mi must be Included In the Navy stock. The following statement was made by Rear-Ad miral McGowan, chief of the Bu reau of Supplies and Accounts: "In order to Insure an adequate supply and to stabilize prices, the Navy has se cured raw wool, which It will furnish to contractors under certain restrictions and which will be manufactured by them into the required cloth. This stock of wool Is of unusually fine gradeS raised largely in Texas and Oregon, while part of it has been imported from Montevideo. "Samples of the wools may be seen upon application to the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts. Navy Department, which will in form applicants regarding the price and- grades of the wool. Bidders will base their quotations on the price at which they can obtain the above described wool, but ir it is to their interests to use their own wools or purchase supplies elsewhere, such action will be permitted. "The control of this stock of raw wool by the Government Is of unusual advantage. In that it will eliminate competition for raw stock among contractors. If contractors were forced to go Into the market and bujfc raw stock in a sufficient quantity to take care of these large orders it would probably bring about a very substantial advance In the price of wool and, obviously, of the man ufactured material. In order to permit of the widest possible competition, the Navy Is calling for proposals on goods covered by varying or alternate specifications, although the essential qualities of the material will be substantially the same In all cases. "Owing to the impossibility of importing the kind of dyes heretofore used on Navy uniform cloth. It was necessary to develop a new source of dye supplies. The Navy chemists, co-operating with the dye manu facturers and the woolen committee, have been carrying on exhaustive experiments and the result of these combined efforts has led to the development of dyes which are sub stantially as satisfactory as those used in the past. The efforts of the chemists have been largely directed to securing a dye which is absolutely fast to light and expos ure, which retains its original shade in arti ficial light, that will be fast to washing with soap in either salt or fresh water at a high temperature, and that will be proof against the effect of perspiration. "All these desired characteristics have now been obtained, so that contractors will have no difficulty in furnishing the Govern ment with satisfactory goods."

Flocks of Klickitat sheepmen are now fattening on the Summer grazing grounds of the Columbia National forest re serve around Mt. Adams and sheep owners are expecting that the price of lambs this year will reach $10 per head. Klickitat ambs fattened on the ML Adams ranges nave the reputation of being first-class mut ton and shipments commence about August beveral shipments have been made from Goldendale of early lambs turned off the range In the Simcoe Mountains that brought the owners from $8 to $8.50 per head t the Goldendale yards. The Union Meat Company shipped a car load of lambs front Goldendale to Chi cago, purchased from Smith Bros., of A 1- derdale. Wash., for which they paid $12.75 per hundredweight. Other shippers from Goldendale this season are Kayea & Cole man, Mabton, Wash., and Jensen & Sons, Toppenish, Wash. Tne price of breeding ewes reached the hlghwater mark in the sale of 1000 head by rim Ward, of Glenwood. to Emjl Lugin buhl, of Roosevelt, at $17 per head. Ward purchased the band at $1 per head last Spring and cleaned up SS000 on the deal. Alex Hamilton, former sheep inspector ior Klickitat County, has sold his lambs to Uriah Trumbo, a local eheepman, for Octo ber delivery at ?;. CO per head. Klickitat woolgrowers received SO cents and upward per pound this year for their wool, and It s estimated that the high prices this year will Increase the receipts from the sale of wool and mutton at least $-f0,000.

MARKET Lack of IN PROFESSIONAL HANDS Stocks In Fnblle Inquiry for Wall fetreet. NEW YORK, July 2S. Professional traders had the field to themselves In this week's negligible dealings, which Inci dentally marked the third anniversary of the war. Prices again responded to bear pressure, prompted by adverse developments at home and across the water, together with the utter lack of public inquiry for stocks. War prices and taxes again engaged at tention Thi, Im.llnn - hv did a good deal today to cause an all-around 1 the presentation of the Treasury Depart advance In values of Vraln and provisions, ment's $5,000,000,000 budget and the. mount Corn finished strong. c to 8c net higher. lng cost of the war.

Disturbing effects of the strike manifested themselves especially In the corn trade, where shorts made a sreneral rush to cover and speculative buying was active. In ad dition to the strike, continued drought dam age reports tended to lift prices. Complaints mat injury had been rendered worse by ex treme hear covered a broad stretch that In cluded much of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas ani Nebraska, Unfavorable crop news from North Dakota and Western Canada increased bullish sen timent regarding wheat. The chief other bullish factor, aside from the Indirect In fluence of the strike, was the prospect of final agreement on the terms of the food control bill with a provision for a generous minimum fixed price to be paid for wheat at primary centers. Despite the outlook for a hufro crop, the oats market rose with corn. The strike of switchmen here gave reason for serious ap prehension that the movement of the crop might be delayed. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. with misgivings the steady outflow of the country's gold, large additional amounts being shipped to Japan, Spain and South America. Forecasts of the United States Steel earn ings for the second quarter, to be published next Tuesday, range from $15,000,000 to $25,000,000 over thoje of the preceding period, although allowance is made for changed conditions in that industry. General trade is reported to be satis factory, but authorities lay more than ordi nary stress upon the undertone of conserva tism, due to uncertain Government regula tions. Leading railways are submitting reports on June earnings, those thus far available being very favorable. The feature of the week In the transportation division was the cut in the St. Paul dividend, which seemed to have been discounted, however, in the stock's steady decline. Cascara Baric Plentiful.

Cheering crop reports from the big central corn states have more than offset In the corn market during the la9t week the bullish consequences of the aomewhat seriously impaired outlook in the Southwest, where drouth has been made worse by temperature above 100. As a result, prices this morning ranged from ex actly the same level as eeven days before to down. Wheat showed a gain of 2c to 8c and oats of "c to 1 hi c. Provisions made net advances of 5c to 57c. Easing down of tension on the corn mar ket did not begin until after prices had ascended to the highest point yet this1 sea son. Industries were competing sharply foi the limited offerings available for immediate use and there was a noticeable dwindling of scanty reserve stocks unti on Tuesday rural offerings began to enlarge, owing to brightening crop prospects east of the Mis souri River. Tasseltng had then started in Iowa and there were continuous later ad vice from important districts elsewhere that the outlook was now fully normal In many sections where the crop .had been back ward. Chances of liberal Imports of corn to the United States from Venezuela counted also in favor of the bears. Confident In the enactment of a lfberai price minimum guaranteed by the Federal Government had much to do with the strength which developed in the wheat market. Besides, unfavorable crop reports from the Northwest aroused considerable anxiety that was not entirely relieved by subsequent reports of welcome rains In Canada. New high price levels were reached for oats as well as corn. - The big discount of oats under com was a noticeable bullish factor. It was said also that the Dutch government was loading oats at the seaboard. An advance In quotations of meats at Liverpool stimulated demand for provisions Pork soared to the highest figures1 ever known. NAME REVEALED BY DEATH Henry Grass, Known as Charles Gray, Involved In Old Feud. HOOD RIVER, Or., July 28. (Spe cial.) Following his death today at Wycth, on the Columbia Highway west of here, neighbors learned that Henry Grass was the real name of a 55-year- old rancher who has resided among them for the past 15 years under the name of Charles Gray. A neighborhood feud In Illinois, where the Wyeth rancher was reared, resulted In a fight In which a member of an opposing fac tion was Injured. Fearing legal con sequences, young Grass ran away and changed his name. He was married and reared a family of six children under the name or Gray. The man's secret, however, had be come known to his father-in-law, James Gorton, who also resides at Wyeth, here today to arrange for f j neral services. Mr. Gorton, who gave the true name for the death certificate, says that he had urged his son-in-law to assume his rightful name, but that the matter had been neglected. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

NoTf Department Purchases Oregon and Other Clip for XIae by Cloth Contractors. The new phase of Government buying of wooiens as Indicated in the fact that the Navy Department now holds a stock of wool which may be used by mills In the manufac ture of cloth on a fixed price basis has been of great interest to the men's wear market, says the New York Journal of Commerce. The purpose of arrangement Is the checking of inflation from competitive bidding among prospective contractors for the necessary supply of wool. If the mill which wishes to undertake the work cannot get wool at a lower figure. It will naturally bid on th basis of the Government price. For this transaction at least the raw material market will not be forced upward. The Navy Is calling for 1.000.000 yards of Copper Market Is Firmer. NEW YORK, July 2S.

That the grain crop In this section of the Inland Empire Is better than has been re ported, is the opinion of C. A. Hastings, of Balfour-Guthrie Company, of Portland, who has .lust completed a trip of Inspection throughout this district. "The entire Northwest Is badly In need of rain." said Mr. Hnstinp-s. "It In difficult to predict what the yield will b. If a good, heavy rain should fall within the next several days It would Insure a fairly good crop of Spring-sown grain, and would benefit the Fall-sown grain In the higher altitudes. "In the Lewiston district Fall-sown grain has matured several weeks earlier than usual on account of the dry weather. The cnop is made and a rain would not affect it. In the higher altitudes the berries are not fully developed. All In all. I fully expect the yield from the Inland Empire will be in excess of the reports that have previously come from the district."
