BT STUART P. WEST. (Copyright, 1821, by The Oregonian.) NEW YORK, April . (Special.) At be close of the week the three matters ippermost in the minds of the financial . lommunlty are: The great British labor rial, tho trade developments as they bear tpon the question of whether or not the tuition at large Is getting better, and he course of money rates. The most pertinent comment upon in tustrial troubles in England has all along teen that they are too stupendous in their possibilities to make it conceivable how a vpture could finally occur, or. If it were o occur, how there could be a contest of my duration at alL The losses would be fabulous and the offering of the public so severe that one de or the other would have to give In aptdly, or both strike a compromise. Miat the British government could aur- ender to the unions has never been even hlnkable. Consequently the markets have tonsidcred but three eventualities first, in llth-hour settlement: second, an early ompromlse after the struggle was on, and bird, the complete defeat of the labor dement. Domestic Trade Reviewed. Testimony regarding domestic trade con lltlons has again been very conflicting til week. The brightest spot is the auto- noblle Industry, with many companies retting ready for capacity output. The dca held in some quarters that the re Ktvery here and in other lines, like the extile trade, was merely a flash In the lan Is disappearing. On the contrary, the . lest Judgment is that, while progress will le uneven that is to say. by no means leady the real turn in these industries las come and will prove a lasting turn. As to when a similar change will over mke other trades which are still scraping n the bottom as to both prices and pro. tuction. it is hard to say that trade rep escntatives are fulrly confident that prices rith them are on the upgrade. It seems ilmoHt certain that the virtually complete thutdown of the copper mines will start pper quotations up before long, simply lecause the remaining surplus will have een worked off. The steel men are the nost dubious of all. starch figures have Just shown pig Iron iroduction the lowest on record in com parison with furnace capacity. Irorr and a eel prices have so far displayed no in. dination whatever to mend. When the (idvale Steel directors passed their divi- lend this week they spoke of the company lolng business at a loss and had nothing o say that showed they were at all hope, ml of a change. The president of the Bethlehem Steel company admitted that xiis would be a lean year for the steel nmpanles. but looked for an Improvement efore the end of it. Summed up. the preponderating view In pusiness circles Is that the downward novement reached Its climax at the close ft 1920; that while in certain lines like Fair to good feeders Hora Prime light . 5mooth heavy Rough heavy Stags rt pigs 6.0O 6.00 .. n.ooeii.: .. 10.2."10.7: . . .! 9.2: . . s on t .2: ll.OO 9.

Estimate of 99 Per Cent of Xormal Is Made by Federal Sta tistician Kent. The condition of Oregon winter wheat and rye on April 1. 1921, Is estimated by F. L. Kent, statistician for the United States bureau of crop estimates, at 99 per cent of normal for wheat and 97 per cent of normal for rye. This compares with an April 1 wheat condition for the I'nlted 8tates as a whole of 91 per cent and a rye condition of 90.3 per cent. The ten-year average condition for the United States Is: Wheat. 83.6 per cent; rye, 88.4 per cent. Assuming that there has been no considerable abandonment of any of the 4O.6tt5.000 acres estimated as sown last full the present condition figure 91 per cent) would Indicate a probable 1921 United States winter wheat crop ok aDoui oji.uuu, 000 bushels.

Rye MM FOUND FOR POTATO SURPLUS Shipping Orders May Clean Up Oregon Stock. HIGHER PRICES UNLIKELY Good Movement to South and Southwest ; Eastern Trade Active With Values on Steady Basis. The Oregon potato surplus, there is every reason to believe, will clean up. Not long ago It was feared the growers would rot be able to dispose of all their stocks, but a good shipping demand has devel oped and potatoes are now going out of the state at the rate of about 100 car loads a week. Most of the shipments are billed to California points, with a few cars going to Arixona. The -market Is firm, but prices are not much higher than they were. Shippers are paying growers SI for good graded potatoes and a small premium occasion ally for a fancy lot. Ordinary rough stock Is selling down to 50 or 60 cents. Most of the dealers think prices will hold around the present level during the re mainder of the seaBon. In the local Job blng market there has been some im provement In the demand but former prices are quoted. Few sales of Oregon Burbanks are made at over $1.25. At Idaho shipping points, sacked Rurals are moving at about SI to growers. In the east the potato markets generally were steady during the past week. Northern sacked round white potatoes closed at 80c to $1 per 100 pounds at northern ship ping points. The carlot market In Chi cago held at $1 to $1.10. Other middle western wholesale markets were slow, and 5c to 10c lower, closing $1.05 and $1.35. New York round whites were steady in the New Tork jnarket at $1.40 and $1.50 ulk. Sacked Maine Green Mountains continued slow and steady in Boston at 1.23 and $1.40. Florida Spauldlng Hose in double-head barrels started the week at $11 and $12 per barrel in New York, but closed lower t $9.50 and $10. Prices closed around $6 per barrel f, o. b. at Florida shipping points. Texas sacked Bliss triumphs anged $0.50 and $10 per 100 pounds lu Kansas City. Movement of old stock Increased mod erately, 2614 cars compared with 2297 the preceding week and with 2603 cars dur ig the corresponding week last season Shipments of new potatoes during the week totaled 200 cars. and Mendoclnos were disposed of, but the trices were not announced. Several cars of Sacramentos were sold at 13 to 16 cents, Oregons are quoted at 15 to 20 cents ac cording to quality. APPLE PRICES DECLINE IN EAST Local Market Is Steady With Fair De mand Reported. Local apple trade was fair during the week and former Drlces were maintained, In the eastern markets, however, there was a moderate decline. Northwestern Wlnesaps, extra fancy grade, declined 30 cents at Chicago to $2.25 and $3.50, hut held steady at 13.50 and $4 at Kansas City. New York cold storage Baldwins dropped 25 cents a barrel to a range of $4.75 and $5.73 in the leading eastern wholesale markets. . Shipments . of boxed apples were 815 cars compered with 373 the previous week, st.d with 413 during the corresponding i-eek last year. Movement of barreled stock was 444 cars compared with 5 S3 the preceding week Jind with 327 during the correspond ing week last season. Bank Clearings.

Money Market I" na tin factory. We have had somewhat the same ex perience In the money market this week is we had two months ago. When Wall ttreet, apparently surfeited with call kinds, reduced its bid to 5(4 per cent, the ateral, promptly called their loans on the Bterior banks, which were lending out xieir large balances on stock market col rround, very obviously, that they could Ind more profitable employment for their noney at home. As a result the lowering f call rates proved abortive, as it had in rebruary, and there were quick rebounds s $H and 1 per cent. Two months ago this reaction wound up n a certain degree of actual stringency, rhich is hardly to be expected again ow ns to the strengthening of the federal eserve ratio which has taken place since lien. Our Imports of gold since January 1 iggregate more than $130,000,000, and this practically the net addition to the sa lon's stock of gold, because exports dur ng the same period have been negligible. This gold movement, plus the release of tapltal from mercantile channels, has leant a large expansion in the supply of loanable funds. It would have forced down noney rates far more had it not been for Ihe policy of the federal reserve board in lolding to its extreme scale of discounts. There can be no criticism of this policy, though these discount ratea are plainly utlficiaL If the federal reserve authori ties were Influenced only by the question rf the money supply they would no doubt lave lowered their schedules before now. But they want to see'frosen credits' fur ther reduced, as they must be In order to restore banking conditions - to normal; I therefore they are maintaining a scale of rates which Is not Justified by the relax ation ot demand and supply. Crop Report Paradox. The April crop report, so far as its Iffect upon financial calculations is conserved.- has proved something of a para- lox. It whs so good In point of indicated I wheat yield as to be distinctly bad fr I the outlook for prices. romlse of a winter wheat crop 137.000.000 tusnels larger than last year, and with a fourth of the 1920 harvest still in farro ws' hands. It is easy to see why prices save been so persistently going down, and bj hard to see how the agricultural in luatrv can look forward to a larger profit nargin unless it can succeed In materially reducing Its production costs. Once again, as has happened often In the experience of the last seven years, sld-fashioned economic theory has gone stray. Theoretically a condition of very low prices where the producers contend there has ceased to be any profit at all will cure itself through restricted output. Bo far from thia having occurred, the acreage covered by the present winter wheat crop is one of the largest on rec rd and the Indicated yield has been sur passed only three times In the history of the country. .100 . 90 97 101 '0 93 loo 98 97 98 Baker 97 97 91 63, Crook 100 100 loo Deschutes ... no 83 lOOIGllltam 102 100 . ..

In the eastern psrt of the state, with a few exceptions,- con ditlons were very favorable to fall seeding and the winter has been very favorable for the growth of the crop. At this time It seems probable that the acreage that will be reseeded this spring will be con siderably Jess than normal; In fact, almost negligible. Here is a report from Morrow county which Is fairly typical of others from the Eastern Oregon wheat districts: "The winter wheat condition today shows a better prospect (barring future mis. haps) than we have hsd for many years. The wheat kept growing all winter and the moisture in the soil is abundant." In the western part of the state con dition of the wheat crop Is generally re ported to be fine, although there was a little "drowning out" in February and March. But owing to very wet weather. the seeding last fall was much below normal. Brood sows Reports generally indicate a decline in the hog Industry. In the state the number of brood son's on April 1, as compared with a year ago, appears to be only 90 per cent, and as compared with the usual number, less than 80 per cent. For the United States, the com parison with a year ago is 97 per cent, and as compared with the usual, . only 78.6 per cent. Naral Stores. SAVANNAH. Ga.. April 8.

LITTLE WHEAT SELLING BY FARMERS Offers Withdrawn When Decline in Prices Is Checked, The country wheat markets were quiet at the close, not from lack of demand, but from the unwillingness of farmers to sell. Offerings were liberal when prices were eclining. but most sellers withdrew when the market became steadier. Bids sen to the country yesterday were the same as on Friday. Offers for wheat posted on the local board were also unchanged. The lack of interest in the coarse grain market was shown by the $25 bid made for white oats at the Merchants' Exchange. There were no offers at all for oats or barley. The aversge condition of winter wheat Washington on April 1 was 100 per cent of normal, the best condition that as obtained on April 1 for a number of years. . One year ago the condition was but 73 Per cent of normal, while the 10' year average on April 1 is 90 per cent. The past winter was almost ideal, so far as the wheat crop was concerned. Mois ture is abundant throughout the different sections of the wheat belt, and very little damage has been reported to date from soil- blowing or from heaving. Assuming the average abandonment of acreage and average influences prevailing until har vest, the April 1 condition forecasts I production of about 21,784.000 bushels as compared with 20,120,000 in 1920 and 20,- 428,000 in 1919. The rye crop of Washington averaged 98 per cent ot normal on April 1, against 82 per cent a year ago and 94 per cent the 10-year average condition on April 1.

No more berries will be brought this season from Louisiana, as they now cost about as much at ship ping points as the first cars sold for in this market.

Rates for call loans rose to highest levels in msny months after relaxing to lowest recent quotations for renewals. The sudden advance coincided with neavy withdrawals - of local reserves by interior banks. Spread of the British coal strike gave a sharp setback to exchange rates' and threatened disturbance of Anglo-American trade. - Proposed investigation of the trans portation systems by the senate and earn est consideration -by the administration afforded no oerceDtlble relief to railway securities, some new minimum quotations being made by high grade stocks and bonds. The cominr week. It Is believed, will witness significant developments In the steel and iron trade. Opinion is that the United States Steel corporation will soon announce reduced price and wage sched ules and that Independent producers win order moderate upward readjustments. This course is indicated by advances made bv the Renuhlic Iron & Steet company. In other branches of industry tenden cies are almost wholly toward lower sched ules.
