PRICES ARE OUT OF LINE Transactions on Atlantic Seaboard Are to Meet Sales Made Sev eral Weeks Ago. Lack of export business in wheat tor flour is responsible for the dullness of the wheat market In this section. There are of ferings by farmers, but dealers say the prices are out of line with export values and that It Is Impossible to sell here in competition with Canadian and eastern wheats, the prices here being about 10 cents a bushel higher, and until this condition U changed either by an in crease in foreign exchange rates or a de crease in ocean freights there seems to be little hope that the Paaclflc northwest will be able to work off the surplus that a 70.000.000 bushel crop would indicate. The British commission has been out of the market for two weeks and there is nothing to show when it will come in again. There are almost daily reports of wheat being sold in the east, but most of this has been on the part of ex porters who sold considerable wheat flour buying: Chicago options as a hedge, and now they are having- to pay stiff prices for cash wheat in order to meet their ales. On the local grain board all September wheat bids were unchanged from Friday. One hundred tons of bulk corn were sold for September delivery at 85.50. Oc tober gray oats and September-October feed barley advanced 50 cents. Other coarse grain bids were the same as the day before. New York advices were that the long shoremen's strike has a depressing Influ ence and is restricting foreign buying. Texas millers, like those here, will not buy wheat, unless they have demand foe flour, and the flour demand at present ia very 'poor. Clement Curtis estimates the corn crop at 3.090.000.000 bushels as against the gov ernment's August 1 estimate of 3,003,000, 000 bushels. Terminal receipts, in ears, were report ed by the Merchants' Exchange as fol lows: Wheat. Bar. Fir. Oats. Hay. roniana Faturday Year a70 . This week....... Year ago........

EARLY OREGON APPLES MOVE WELL Gravenstetns and Astrakhans of Cooking Grade Bring S22.50 Box. Local Gravenstelns and Astrakhans of cooking grade are coming in larger sup Ply and are selling well at $202.50 a box. California table Gravenstelns are quoted at t3 80.fr 4. The federal estimate of the Oregon apple crop is 8,426,000 bushels, about 60 per cent of which will be of commercial quality The crop last year was figured at 5.679.000 bushels. A report from Niagara county. New York, states that the apple crop is in fine healthy condition, there being no insect or worm trouble with the exception of a little aphis. The West Virginia co-operative crop reporting service describes the apple crop of the big commercial orchards In the eastern panhandle as good, while the farm orchards in the rest of the state average fair crops. - The eastern apple market Is steady. New York Duchess sold at 85c 8 11.25 a bushel basket in Pittsburg. Illinois and Michigan Duchess sold at 75c?t2 a bushel basket in middle-western markets. Cali fornia Gravenstelns sold at $2.5003.25 a box in Chicago. ANOTHER BCTTER ADVANCE COMIXG Stocks of Beet Quality Are Small Erg Market Firm. The butter market is very firm and another advance in prices of prints is in sight. The change may not come, how ever, before the middle of the week. There was some movement in cubes and fresh extras were quoted at 58 cents. Eggs were In 'small supply and with a good local demand prices were firm. Buy ers offered country shippers 48 cents, case count, and 52 cents subject to can dling. Jobbers asked 57 cents for can dled ranch and 60 cents for selects. Poultry and dressed meat receipts were moderate. Prices in the poultry line were firm, while the meat market was quiet. Bank Clearings.

' Specialties Are Sold Sown bat Later Rally Briskly Tone at ' Close Is Steady. NEW TORR, Aug. 28. Bears tried to take advantage today of the absence of a large number of traders by raiding some of the more " volatile stocks, especially those comprising the steel, equipment, oil and other popular issues. Their efforts were successful for a time. Replogle Steel being the center of their objective at a precipitate decline of about eight points. Related shares were depressed one te three points, but rallied briskly in later dealings. Replogle making virtually full recovery, A steady tone ruled at the close with sales of. 173,000 shares. Foreign - exchange was again reaction ary, although rates on Paris were better. The clearing house statement fulfilled general .expectations in that actual re serves made-up the greater part of last week's heavy, loss, although actual loans and discounts -expanded by slightly more than $41,000,000. , Trading in bonds was fairly active but featureless, a better tone ruling for do mestic Issues, Including the liberty group, with steadiness to foreign flotations.

Although the California refineries as yet have given no Indication of following the eastern market downward, the sugar trade throughout the country is badly dlsorgan Ixed and lower coast prices are expected any day. Tbe present situation has been pro duced by a reaction from conditions of an exactly opposite character that ex isted in the first months of the 1919 1920 campaign. Fears of a repetition of the experience of the two preceding years when sugar was practically unobtainable during the period of heaviest consumption Induced buyers of all classes to make com mitments for supplies for months ahead. In many cases up to December, their com petition with each other for such supplies forcing - prices to almost unprecedented high levels. What was not then foreseen has now come to pass. The great consuming pub lic, accustomed to economy in the use of sugar forced by war-time contingencies, has continued the practice when the need had passed, no doubt being confirmed In it by consideration of its high cost despite the more plentiful supply. Thus with de liveries on contracts, made in expectation of at least a normal demand at this sea son, steadily pouring In upon them, whole sale dealers and manufacturing coifaumers find themselves, in view 'of the restricted market and acutely curtailed bank credits, unable to take care of the sugar. Attempts to resell at prices below any quotations made by refiners meet with no success, as everyone is in the same box, so there is much talk of repudiation of contracts to avoid the heavy financial Iorses acceptances of deliveries would en tall. ENGLAND NEEDS AMERICAN APPLES Good Export Demand for Fruit Is Assured ' This Year. A strong European demand for Ameri can apples is assured, according to J. Forsyth Smith, Canadian fruit trade com missioner, who, for some years, has been station in Liverpool. Considering this year's world supply of apples affecting the British market, Mr. Smith said that the crop in England is almost a tailure. Kent, the principal pro duclng county of dessert apples, has only 15 per cent ot the crop it had last year. The Washington and Oregon crop of box apples is short, and British Columbia will have only from 60 to 63 per cent of the crop harvested there last year. American barrel apples will be a fair supply, but will be handicapped by the adverse ex change rate. Although the Nova Scotia crop will be of good quality and fair amount, it will be leas than that of 1 season. So. taken all in all. the demand for apples In Great Britain this coming fall and winter should be quite satisfac tory. On and after November 15 price con trol will be resumed in Great Britain, when the maximum price for a barrel 40 pounds net mill be 23s 6d. as compared with 67 shillings 8 pence last year. The new price for a box of apples weighing 40 pounds net will be 23s 6d, ac compared with 20s lOd last year, while boxes weigh ing 37 pounds net will sell for 21s 6d. 'These prices." said Mr. Smith, "must be regarded as quite fair to the shippers, and should produce for our fruit values as high as the market would pay. CANTALOUPES SHOW BETTER TONE Trade Taking; Well to Taklma Offerings. Peaches Are Scarce. There was a better tone in the canta- loupe market at the close of the week. The California shipping season Is about over and the trade is taking more readily to Yaklmas. There was no improvement In the melon market and none is likely while the weather keeps cool. Peaches were scarce. A car of Califor nia Lovells is due Monday and Northern Elbertas will, be coming along In a small way the latter part of the week. High peach prices are predicted for the remain der of the season, as the crop in the north west is very light. Malaga grapes are now sufficiently ma tured to be quite satisfactory. A car of seedless grapes Is due Monday or Tuesday and Mack grapes will arrive the latter part of the week. Possibly a few Tokays will come in by express, but no car lots ef lolwt are expected for another week. .... 66.50 64.50 63.50 57.25 4(1.50 41.00 No, 3 eastern yellow. 65.30 B.J.UU oj.uu FLOUR Family patents. $12.95; bakers hard wheat, $12.95; best bakers' patents, $12.95; valley. $11.20; graham. $10.80; whole wheat. $11.05.

NEW YORK. Aug. 28. Aside frem a broader Inquiry, mainly at higher prices, the stock market this week differed slight ly from preceding periods of the apathetic midsummer season. Foreign developments, 'as measured by the Russo-Pollsh situation, were more hopeful, but improvement found only pass ing expression in the international exchange market, which again sagged under the increasing weight of remittances for food stuffs and cotton. More promising crop prospects and high er freight and passenger rates gave a de . elded impetus to the demand for trans portation stocks.-- These securities, to gether with numerous low-priced railroad bonds, were almost the only Issues to stand out . in the week's hesitant move ment, . . Trade reports and! advices continued to stress the uncertain trend in many lines of manufacture. While business authorities say that the crisis resulting from post-bellum condi tions has been successfully overcome, the federal reserve board and conservative banking interests, almost as a whole, evince no disposition to change their long sustained policy of credit repression. There is no reason to believe, however, that negotiations for the placing of sev eral foreigu loans, . other than a new French obligation; are taking concrete form. These underwrltings. it is assumed, will offer unusually attractive returns to American Investors. Apropos of new international financing, the July foreign trade report offered food for reflection in the heavy falling-off of merchandise exports. Excess over imports, as compared with the corresponding month of 1919, showed a decline of al most 50 per cent. WHEAT AVERAGES HIGHER MARKET ADVANCES WITH "LACK OF PRESSURE. Swift & Co. Stocks. .

CHICAGO, Aog. 28. Trading today was light, the markets being practically with out a feature, although a good export busi ness in wheat was done overnight. At the flnish. wheat was up c to 2c above Friday's close, with December $2.36- to $2.37 and March $2.32. Corn advanced c to c; oats were c lower - to c higher and provisions ranged from 5c lower to 15c higher. Wheat futures averaged higher as the result of lack - of pressure. A house with eastern eonneotions was the best buyer, while the northwest sold, presumably hedtginr against- cash grain. - Corn averaged higher, due to the strength in wheat Oats were in sympathy with grains. Provisions were dull.. . . The Chicago market letter received yes terday by Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland said: Wheat Lack of pressure made a higher range tor lutures, out tne casn mwi was heavy, with premiums on spring wheat here off 8 to 5 cents, while winter wheat was 1 to 2 cents lower. No. 1 grades sold from 20 to 23 cents over December. Export demand was not very keen, but the tendency to hold for higher prices on the part or the country ana lack of a heavy movement at the present time caused sentiment to be decidedly mixed. It was reported that 500.000 bush els of wheat were taken for export toaay.
