Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OREGOMAX. PORTLAND, AUGUST 1, 1920 WHEAT PRIG IS STILL UNDER WAY Cereal Goes Down 10 to Cents at Exchange. 12 OFFERS ON CURB LOWER Sales Are Hcld'Xp by Sensational Developments In Market Hold ers of Wheat "Withdraw. The sensation! drop lit wheat Quota tions continued In Portland yesterday when prices went Jown 10 to 12 cents . on the local boards at the session of the Mer chants' Exchange. There were no sales. Holders ol wheat have practically with drawn from the market as the result of the developments here In the past two days. Dealers are also showing little dis position to buy at going prices, as indica tions yesterday were declared to poln to a proboble further drop in figures the first of this week. Unofficial offers on the curb following the cession of the Merchants Exchange yesterday were reported -at a figure con feiderably lower than bids made during the cpsion of the exchange. Some dealers yesterday declared that the phenomenal drop in quotations was bound to be followed by a reaction .which would shoot the price up again. Other contended that bumper crop condition; were sure to make for at least a $2 wheat at Chicago, with a conesponding dros here. ' The drop yesterday orer previous quo tations was 10 cents for hard winter and northern spring, 11 cent for hard white And 12 cents for all other grades. The drop was principally due to the bearish market news from Chicago. Reports on weather conditions yesterday announced that there was scattered rain In the Chicago, Milwaukee. Ohio and Min neapolis districts. St. Louis and Kansas City reported partly cloudy weather, warmer, with no rain. The crop situation throughout the coun try is declared to be probably better than figures Issued by the government would in dicate In a financial letter for August 1. Issued by the National City bank of Chi cago. The letter predicts prosperity this year to the agricultural areas, provided the railroads prove equal to the task of trans porting the products to the market. The tetter says of the crop situation: "The crop outlook, considering the con dition or all crops, is excellent and likely to show further Improvement during this most Important month of the crop year. Although the government's July figures for all grains show 10 per cent less acre age than last year, the promised yield Is only 3.3 per cent smaller and about 1 per cent below the. ten-vear average. Further more, the total wheat estimate, while be low last year, shows a decline of only 1.6 per cent below the five years prior to 1918. The total crop situation Is probably consid erably better than these figures Indicate for weather conditions of late have been distinctly favorable and there is good rea ort to look for pronounced Improvement In the forthcoming government report. It is significant that potatoes; tobacco, flax, rice and apples show Improvement as com pared with a year ago, with the promise of a total value for all crops above the five year average. This estimate is based upon a continuance of favorable conditions and euch progressive improvement as may be reasonably looked for during the next few weeks. The most trustworthy advices por vide basis for believing that the comlnn year will, witness cemtiriued prosperity in tho agricultural area, providing the rail roads give those communities the shipping facilities that they require." Terminal receipts In cars were reported" by the Merchants' Exchange yesterday as follows: Wheat. Barley. Flour. Oats. Hay. Portland Saturday .... Tear ago. . ... Tot. this wk.

An aggregate loss to grain men of $1,600,000 is declared by G. F. IHnwoodie. traveling freight and passenger agent of the S. P. S. raid road, to have been the result ot a severe hail and wind storm which recently struck the Rlparia and Lew is ton. Idaho, section; The storm is' said to have been the most severe experienced In that district for 20 years, and much grain previously in ex cellent condition is now a. total loss. In a report -made to the Portland office of the railroad, Mr. Dinwoodte says of the storm: Thi storm affected -the Snake River valley from Riparia to Lewiston and then up through Moscow, Pullman and Palouse wheat belt. Many places the rain and hail was so heavy it was termed a 'cloudburst and in some instances farm buildings and implements were swept down the river. A total loss to grain men of $1,500,000 was the result. "The section, Lewiston to Grangeville, which takes in Camas prairie proper, was not so badly damased. Only in a few in stances Jthe wheat was broken .down by heavy rainfall. Canuu prairie farmers are looking forward to one of the best crops known in that section." MALAGA GRAPES NOW IN MARKET Shipment of California Elbert a Peaches Arrive Here, The first shipment of Malaga grapes was received In Portland yesterday from California. The grapes were In good shape and went readily at $4 a crate. Dealers anticipate that these grapes will begin to come in In good quantities this week to take care of the lociil trade.

Activity In the prune market stilt re mains at a low ebb with practically no pales reported. It Is Impossible to quote a definite price at the present time, although some con tracts were made seme time ago at 10 to 16H cents for the 30-35s. Whether the market will open later on at that figure dealers are unable to predict at the pres ent time. There is practically no export demand now. The high rate of foreign exchange Is one detriment to the making of sales in foreign countries. In addition good crops of prunes are reported in France and the Balkans. Bomcming ue unite in me way of ac tivltly In the market is expected this month when It is believed a price will be set. The crop will start to coming in early In October. This year's crop In Oregon Is estimated at 0,000.000 pounds which it Is declared will be a record-breaker. The fact that the crop is heavy will mean, it is declared, that there will be a greater run ot small prunes. BEAN QUOTATIONS MAKE DECLINE .ocal Tomatoes Will Be Plentiful This Week at t.5 a Box.

Sterling Effects- a Rebound and Rates on rance and Italy' Move Up. NEW YORK. July 31. Price move ments on the stock exchange today were narrow and the volume of trading was small, 174,000 shares .The - tone was one of underlying firmness, but the inquiry was light and . trading kept within the usual limits of a mid-summer Saturday. The best evidence of an upward ten dency developed -among railroad issues in which during the late hour there was an exhibition of Quiet strength. Recent move ments of industrials tended to restrict the demand in. this section and in some of these issues there was an easing off in quotations. Dealings In bonds were nominal and without material changes among leading issues. Total sales tpar value) $3,790,000. Old United States bonds unchanged on call for the week. The foreign exchanges were bid up with relative briskness. Sterling effected a re bound of more than a cent from yesterday and rates on France and Italy also moved up. The clearing house statement revealed an actual deficit below legal requirements. as laat week. Actual loans and discounts decreased more than $2O,OlM,00U.

STOCK. MARKET TRENDS DOWNWARD Declines Accompanied by Noticeable In crease of Offerings. NKW YORK, July 31. The trend of the stock maraet this week was decidedly downward. A number of prominent issues In the industrial division recorded min imum quotations of the year, while United States Steel fell to Its lowest price in almost two years. Declines were accompanied by a notice able increase of offerings- Credit conditions were again the chief drawback, the money market remaining very stringent, except for call loans. The reaction in securities coincided with similar movements In various commodities and an extension of the reversal in many lines of manufacture, especially textiles. leather. ruDoers ana Kinarea staples. A I most the only -cneerrui development was furnished by the more enormous and mors encouraging crop outlook. Unsettled, conditions abroad were again Kansas City Livestock Market. KANSAS 'CITY, Mo..

Wheat led the procession, show ing net Iocs of 10frI3c. with December Ufa 2.12 and March $2.12 2.13. Corn s down 2 0 6 c with September 1.34 01.34, and December $1.20 0 0. Oats suffered a slump from to cents, while provisions also were lower. Cutting of prices occupied most of the time of the traders in the wheat pit. here wai lack of support while the sell ing was general. Prices were the lowest e the government control went into ffect Farmers wc-e reported to be mer iting their grain as fast as they cn. hi!e exporters were said to be watching for prices to become inure stable. Corr, suffered material recessions In sym pathy -with wheat. The heavy1 liquidation in July, the break in wheat and the un satisfactory financial situation contributed to inspire shorts to continue their efforts toward lowering values, , Oats ruled weak with other grains. -Provisions were undr oresure from Irca? bears and prices registered dec lints rom io to oi cents. The Chicago market letter received yes terday by Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland said of the Chicago market : v heat Today s market was an ti.tcr upiicate of yesterday's, declining 12 cents ud closing at the bottom. The buik r-f he presure was credited to being nature hedging of cash grain purchases n he southwest, notwithstanding that futur- prices are below a hedging basis. Bids, to rnve. were reduced 1 cents aim toe country sold liberally at that. Spot sates nowed ioses of cnts a bush! here. hlle In the southwest the markets were to 15 cents lower and In Minneapolis ff 15 to 25 cents. To further aaeravate he situation, foreigners were out of the market after taking fair Sized quantities estrday. The market at t!ie r.,oineit is ntlrely minus a strong sustaining influ ence. Corn Beneficial rains in Indiana, Pil ots. Missouri and parts ol' Iowa and Nebraska took away the only bullish ar gument that the market has had for the past few days. Support was confined mainly to profit taking by shorts and the resistance to liquidating pressure was Insufficient. A'l cash markets were even weaker than the futures: spot values in Chicago were 4 to 5 cents lower while In St. Louis it was hard to . dtspo ot small receipts at 8 cents under yesterday. The July delivery hare went out at tfce lowest figure registered since it advanced $1.83 . The country was raid to be asking for bids to arrive, emphasising that he producer Is not in holding mood. There s no reaion why he should be with a l.OOO.Oon OoOO-bushe! crop in sight, a lib eral surplus left from ist year and the Ivestock population decreasing, vv nue we do not favor commit men ts on the long ide under present conditions, we consider he market entitled to a rally from around this point and would, therefore, wait a substantial bulga before taking an ag gressive position on the short side. tat9 The drerreo montns item com paratively steady while the July died vio lently at the lowest iigures since iai February and 60 cents below th high price established for cash oats last month. Advices from tne southwest were sug gestive of an easier car situation and the country apparently willing to take ad vantage of all available equipment by of- fering freely. oats were naaiy in neeo of a stimulant to give other than tem porary fine unimportant rallies. Kye liquidating pressure continued in line with the break in wheat and under the Influence of a week cash market, we see nothing to encourage purchases even at this decline. Provisions were under pressure most, oi the day with light support; 34.000 hogs indicated for Monday and 4W0 carried over unrold todtty. Hog products are still in a weak position from a supply ana demand viewpoint and will require better buying if prices are to be maintained. Note: Since wheat review was written St. Louis reports their cash market on wheat 16 to 10 cents lower. Kansas Clt as much as 2S cents lower for dark hard wheat.
