THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. FOItTXAND. SEPTEMBER 2, 1017. 13 FLOUR PfilGE GUT First Step Toward Readjust ment of Market. LIST IS 40 CENTS LOWER All Vncertainties as to Wheat Buy in": Regulations May Be Cleared ITp in Time Xor Buying to Begin Tuesday Morning. Definite Instructions from "Washington as to wheat buying and distribution are. ex pected by M. H. Ho user, in charge of the food administration in this zone, between now and Tuesday, so that operations can begin In this territory on the same day that trade- is resumed in the East, There are a number of points In the regulations per taining to the Pacific Coast that are not clear, but It is believed that everything will be straightened out by Tuesday morning. The larger dealers, who have been idle for some time, are anxiously awaiting settlement of the matter. Millers are waiting for Mr. Houser to an nounce the wheat price definitely, so they can readjust their flour prices to the wheat basis. In the meantime, as a starter, they have cut the price of all flours 40 cents a barrel, which puts patents at $11.20. The new price will go Into effect when business is resumed after Labor day. Old wheat flour will continue to be used for some time yet, and it may be that the new Federal basis will not apply until flour milled from the new crop is ready for market. Mill feed prices have not been changed. The market Is firm as stocks are very light. At the Merchants Exchange yesterday 100 tons of October bran were sold at $31, 100 tons of October shorts at $33 and 200 tons of October shorts at $:t2.50. These prices are SO cents to $1 less than was bid on Fri day. Oats and barley were quiet with bids about the same as on the preceding day. Monday being Labor day, there will be no session of the Merchants' Exchange. Weather conditions in the Middle West as wired from Chicago, were: 'Minneapolis, clear; Winnipeg, clear; Illinois, clear and fine. Missouri St. Louis and Kansas City, clear to cloudy; St. Joseph, cloudy, good showers last night; Topeka, light showers last night; Wichita, clear and pleasant. "Forecast: Fair and warmer predicted for West and Southwest. Light frosts at Crookston, Minn. Killing frost at Bottineau. Temperatures reached 35 in Minnesota, 84 In South Dakota, 35 in North Dakota." Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Portland Wheat. Bar. Flour. Oats.

Growers Will Get Cost of Production and Wait for Profit. Very few hop dealers - are making bids j for the new crop of Oregon and Washing ton as they -consider such proceedure use- j less In view of the small quantity of hops j unsold and the strong position of growers. ! A California wire received yesterday esti mated the Sacramento crop at 40,000 bales agalnet 73,000 bales last year. Late spot vales in that section were 400 bales of 1915s by Dooney at 11 cents and 132 bales of 1916s at 16 cents. The 1917 English crop, according to mall advices, will be taken over by the Board of Agriculture, who will pay the growers a price designed to cover cost of produc tion. The grower will have to wait for the balance of the price or for his profit until the hops can be eold and the ex penses of management paid off. No grower will be allowed to pick more than 50 per cent of his 1914 acreage. The government will also purchase the entire unsold stock of 1016, 1915, 1914 hops on the market, fix ing afterwards the prices at which these hops will be offered. Consequently new and old hops will be sold only at price fixed by the government during the coming season. GREE2C FRUITS CLEAN t"P CLOSELY Supply of Peaches Is Light and Prices Are Firm. There was a close clean-up In all lines of green fruit yesterday. Peaches were scarce throughout the week and prices were firm. Local Crawfords shoulld be In better supply during the coming week. The first car of Takima Elbertas is due the latter part of the week. In past seasons peaches have always been cheapest in the two or three days follow ing Labor Day, but this year, owing to the lateness of the season, dealers believe the peach season will be at Its height In the week from September 10 to 15. Apples and other deciduous friuts continue firm. Cantaloupes are weak, but melons and casabas are In good position. The local tomato crop will mature very soon and cheaper prices In this line can be expected. Sweet potatoes are gradually de clining. Walnut Crop Is Larger. - California's walnut crop, which, speaking commercially. Is the walnut crop of the United States, Is expected to reach approxi mately 15,000 tons this year, an Increase of more than 15 per cent over last year's yield, according to a survey of the groves conducted by the California Walnut Grow ers Association. This survey has shown two things: First, a large increase In the number of bearing trees; and, second, a much lesser loss through sunburn than had been expected. Country Produce Markets Firm. The country produce markets closed firm, with light receipts of poultry and dressed meats which sold at Friday's prices. Butter was firm and unchanged and eggs were steaay. Paint Prices Advance. Another advance Jn the selling price of paints, effective September 5, Ts announced. White and house colors are raised 5 to 10 cents a gallon and porch and step paints are up 10 cents.

KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Sept. 1. (Spe cial.) That the sugar beet crop in Klamath County, which is being supervised by the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company, is very promis ing at this time is the opinion of . J. Flannlgan, who is looking after the matter here for his company. Mr. Flannlgan left this morning for Montague, Cal., where an other tract has been planted under similar circumstances. He had a number of very fine specimens of bet-ts In his car and was of the opinion that the yield here would be very satisfactory. A small part of the seed shipped in by the company last Spring was not first-class, and one or two of the places selected were not so well adapted to the culture of beets, which facts may bring down the average quality, but there seems to be little doubt but that the Klamath Baiin as a whole will prove Itself well adapted to the culture of sugar beets. The Utah-Idaho Company has made an offer to install a factory here next year if the small crop this Summer shows up well, and the necessary -acreage can be subscribed. About 100 acres have brcn sown this year. The farmers . are to receive SO per ton for their beets on cars at harvest time. The beets- will then be shipped to Grants Pass. Bean Tract Will Have 9000 Bushels. ROSEBURG, Or., Sept. 1. (Special.) The work of harvesting the Douglas County bean crop will begin here next week, according to County Agent J. C. Hurd. One of the best crops will be harvested from about 200 acres of land located near Canyonville. This land was planted by John Throne. John Slgnor, L. B. Moore and V. A. Bogard and has been given careful attention. Although the weather has not been favorable for the production of beans, 9000 bushels will be harvested from this tract, according to Mr Hurd.

No FEEDERS 111 DEMAND More Stock Wanted in Spite of Feed Shortage. SALES ARE READILY MADE Large X umber of Cattle Buyers Are Still TTnsuppIied Advantages in Fattening Stock of Good Quality Apparent. "While feed conditions throughout the country show shortages and owners are shortening their herds and flocks consid erably, there still continues an extraordinary demand for feeders and stock era In every type of domestic animal. There are men In the local yards and others who want more of this type than is being supplied, at the same time there is promise of heavy deliveries In this class for the near future. Commenting on the Northwestern feeder market, the Portland Union Stockyards Company says: "Cattle The considerable offering of dif ferent grades of feeders In the cattle depart ment for the past week has readily changed hands, and thre are still large numocrs of buyers unsupplied and a large volume of business Indicated to be supplied. 4 First class short feeders of good type are. bring ing $7; good feeders of ordinary types pass readily from $0.50 to $0.75; rough feeders, grading down as low as $5.50 to $6.50, and mixed breeds from $4.50 to $5. "Hogs There has been a tendency to rush into this department more feeders than the .trade demands. While there have been no material changes In price, yet the move ment shows signs of slowing down. How ever, the quality of stocker and feeder hogs offered during the week has been very excellent, and a large volume of business has been transacted In that department. "Sheep We have handled a small volume of breeding ewes through the week, but have had considerable call for ewo lambs. Something less than 300 splendid Ram boulllet rams have passed through the yards this week for stock purposes, and a number or this type are still available. "Along with the high prices farmers are now realizing for their livestock comes the high-priced feed necessary to make the stock ready for market. The greater cost of main tenance of breeding animals and the fat tening of the market animals must be fol lowed by a satisfactory return on the mar ket, else the breeder and feeder must cease to produce and feed. Returns that com pletely overbalance the cost of production In fattening are not to be had from inferior animals. No manufacturer would attempt to make an inferior low-grade product from high-priced raw materials in this time of expensive labor and working equipment. Re sard less of this fact, the farmer, who in truth is one, of the world's greatest manu facturers, sometimes overlooks this particu lar point and feeds scrub animals on high priced feed. This kind of practice is gradu ally eliminating a certain type of livestock farmer, thus giving the better class of breed ers and feeders an opportunity for greater returns from the better class of livestock they produce. "Much has been said .about the so-called eat-no-lamb' campaign. In explanation of the following clipping from a commission company's letter, it may be said that Mr. Hoover's idea was not exactly understood in the first place. His subsequent explana tions, hewever, have left it clear that he referred to the immature lamb, weighing 30 or 40 pounds .(baby lamb). Instead of the mature lamb, weighing 70 to 90 pounds, such as Is produced on the Western range. This lamb, at that time, yields good returns to the producer and at the same time furnishes a cheap and wholesome food for the consumer: ' 'The "eat-no-lamb" campaign seems to be at an end. We find all the cafes, hotels and dining cars serving lamb the same as usual, and, owing to the high prices beef and pork are selling at,, lamb Is no higher than any other meat, and the public will eat it regardless of people who are trying to fight the sheep business. The so-called promoters who are trying to increase the sheep business and advising the public not to kill ewe lambs will soon wake up to the fact that they are on the wrong road. If you want to promote any Industry, pay the price for the product and you will do so. The American people will try to produce anything they can make money out of. The reason sheep and lambs are scarce is because for years past the American public has done nothing but try to injure the sheep industry. Wool did not brine anything until ' tne last few years, and sheep and lambs , have always sold out of line with other meat animals. It almost came to a point where they had to quit producing both wool and sheep or else go to the county house. Now. when they get to a paying basis everybody Is hollering their heads off be cause wool is high. It is not any higher than anything else, and has always been out of line with other commodlt y-B.' ' The livestock market was quiet yester day without change in prices. Receipts were 90 cattle, 2 calves, 90 hogs and 3(i0 sheep.

Holders of abundant stocks offered freely and shorts seemed to have satisfied their wants. Pre-hollday dull ness prevailed in view of the two-days clos ing over Labor day. Frosts in the.

STEEL CENTER OF ATTACK Ralls, Metals and Marines Rally More Easily Than Other Issues. Washington Developments . Factor In Week's Trading. NEW YORK, Sopt. 1. The enormous ac cretion of war expenditures, the tenor of Congressional debates on war profits and taxes. President Wilson's reply to the Pope's peace note ana Indubitable signs that mon etary condltlon re likely to work less advantageously tu borrowers were the prin cipal factors of the week in the stock market. Shares of munition and equipment com panies experienced a setback of 5 to 10 points. The balance of the list suffered correspondingly, and the average prices fell to lowest levels of recent months, while in some Instances minimum quotations of the year were reached. United States Steel's huge turnover for the week, which approximated 800.000 shares, to the accompaniment of a net decline of 8 points, was the overshadowing feature. That stock not only failed to re gain any of its 4 per cent dividend, but closed virtually .at tho lowest level. Bethlehem's reversal became more severe after publication of the terms of the com pany's new financing, which bear signifi cantly upon similar projects now under con sideration. Irrespective of forthcoming requirements by the Government, it is believed the money market will become a powerful influence in the month now begun. Time funds show steady withdrawal by financiul institutions, and call loans probably will be made with greater regard for the collateral offered. Metals, shippings and rails were heavy to weak, but rallied more easily than the speculative issues. Soma of the railway returns submitted were disappointing as to July earnings, but in the main gains of the previous months were retained. Delaware & Hudson made a new minimum among securities, and Studebaker registered the lowest price in its history. Many other stocks showed marked depreciation, and a few were ax lowest prices of the year. Foreign affairs were lost sight of in the more pressing events at home, although the further slump In rubles to a discount of almost 65 per cent was not without bearing on the week's happenings in Russia.

ROAD CONTRACT CANCELED Car Sliortage Prevents Work on Pa cific Highway Section. Because it has been Impossible to get railroad equipment to haul mate rials to the scene of road operations, the Oregon Hassam Faving Company has been obliged to cancel its con tract with the State Highway Commis sion for paving ten miles of the Pa cific Highway, divided equally on eith er side of the boundary line separat ing Clackamas and Marion counties. The contract awarded July 22 was for $135,954. Instead of laying the ten miles of highway as covered in the original con tract, the Highway Commission has de cided to lay about eight miles of pave ment In Clackamas County extending from Oregon City south. Bids for this work will be opened at the meeting of the Commission in Portland next Tuesday. Bids later will be invited for several miles of pavement to be laid in Marion County. SAPLINGS WILL BE STORED Forestry Officials Start Building in Which to Keep Trees. A concrete storage house. 44 by 24 feet in size, has been started by the forestry service at the wind River ursery and will be used lor the stor age of planting stock in the Spring. Before growth starts the saplings are dug from their beds and they will be placed in the storage house until condi tions are right for their transplanting in reforesting operations. If the young trees are left in the ground new growth starts and trans planting afterward is not so success ful. The object, of the storage is to hold back growth from four to six weeks until snow melts in the regions w?-ere the young trees, are to be planted. Phone your want ads to The Orego- nian.

FARMERS EOT SATISFIED PRICE FIXED BY GOVERNMENT, THEY CLAIM, TOO LOW, Paloase Farmers Aaaert They VU1 Lose Money on Less Than Two Dollar 3Iarket. PULLMAN. Wish.. 6ept. 1. (Special.) Telegraphically advised Uils morning that the asuincton, 1J. C, authorities fixed the- price of wheat for this year's crop, at the Chicago market, at Jfil.JO, farmer of the wheat region of the Palouse were unan imously of the opinion that th price would lose them money this year and. discourage maximum production next year. j,ra ye, wneatgrower, aid the Chicago price which amounted to about fl.&t) for the Inland Empire was not a lair deal to the farmers, and did not take Into consider ation the costs of production, or the yield it was possible to obtain. A. A. Rounds states that the price will strike the farmers pretty hard. L. CJ. Thayer says it i too low, costs and production considered, and wiil make the farmers operate this year at a loss. Ir. E, A. Bryan, former president of the State College, and now Commissioner of Education for Idosho, who has loot) acres of wheat land in Whitman County, the heart of the Inland Empire wheat belt, summar ize ine situation thus: "The price is too low. My tenants last year seeded wheat which cost $1.50 a bhsh el. Their Fall seeding was Winter killed. This Spring they reseeded ax a cost of $-.i0 per bushel. Their total outlay for seed. Fall and Sprinpr, waa $6 an acre. "Plus thia was the extra expenae of Spring cultivation, due to the lateness of the sea son and the start of weecs ahead of the time It was possible to Spring sow. To ail this, also. Is added abnormally high cost of labor, machinery, supplies all things which w heat farmers must use. "It is the renters who will be pinched the worst. The owner of the land, receiv ing $1.M for his third of the wheat, can survive; but the tenant, owning ttie horses, the machinery, and meeting the heavy ex penses of living and harvesting, will be hit so hard by the high production costs, the low yields and the Government price that it Is doubtful If he can come back to try again next year. The price, instead of look ing to maximum production next year, looks to a low production on account of tne blow it inflicts now." Professor E. Ci. Schafer. of the farm crops division of the State College, states that he does not see how the farmers can come out even on les than Houston McCros- key, of Garfield, wiated that the price would make farmers k1 the Inland Empire loam money this year and discourage production next year. tow 1h ton Expects S2.06 Wheat. LEWISTO X, Idaho. Sept. 1. (Special.) The Government price of $2.J0 at Chicago for the 1917 wheat crop would mean $1.67 at Lewlston, If the crop is to be 'sold on the Chicago market, but it has been the understanding of Lewiston dealers that the Government plan provides for establishing sonea for the marketing of wheat, and the fame price will prevail at all zone centers. Tho Lewlston country would doubtless be included In the Pacific zone and the mar ket centers would be Portland. Tacoma, and Seattle. A price of t'2.'2n at either of these points would mean better than S2.0S for the growers of the Lewlston country for the No. 1 grade Sprinsr wheat. The No. 1 Spring grade is based upon 61 pounds to the bushel, and samples deliv ered to local dealers would Indicate the Lewiston country crop will be from one to five pounds below this weight.
