NO EXPORT TRADE
N WHEAT OR FLOUR
Eastern Competition Checks
Business in This Quarter.
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

BRIEF PERIOD. '

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

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

with steadiness to foreign flotations. Total

SUGAR TRADE IS DISORGANIZED
Lower Prices Expected Any Day In Coast
Markets.
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.

NEW FINANCING BEING ARRANGED
Several Foreign Loans Will Be Offered to
American Investors.
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.

Best Baying In Chicago Market Is
for Eastern Accounts Course
Grains Are Firm.
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.
Corn While strength in wheat had some
effect on the market, there was little In
the situation that was construed as bull
ish rnuniMr nff.Him increased mate
rially in some sections and fair quanti
ties were booked to arrive, t-asn prices
worft pptiprntlv one cent lower on old bill
lng, with new at a discount. Reports of
corn heinz down in parts of Iowa and
Nebraska as a result of storms caused a
minor upturn at one time, but tnese re
ports have been here tor nearly a weer..
Oats showed a firm undertone through
mil iK. hmv hni helrt within very car
row price limits. New billing No. $
whites are selling at September price to
one cent over, and it would not be sur
prising if elevator Interests bought some
grain to send to store. The loss of the
oLts premium taken away some of the
bullish ammunition believe coarse should
be sold on all bulges. ,
Provisions Ouiet. market featureless:
trade light and mostly in tbe way of
changing September to October. Cash trade
slow; 28.000 hogs indicated for Monday.
