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

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."

TRt N E MARKET ACTIVITY SLIGHT
Foreign Demand Absent Big Crop to Be
Harvested in State.
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.

narrow and the volume of trading was

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.

The Chicago market letter received yes

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
