Receipts for the past week were . 1.314.300 bushels, which breaks all records for the market. In the same week last year re ceipts were only 418.600 bushels. 8lnce the beginning of the grain year, wheat receipts at Portland have been 6.644.400 bushels as compared with 2.531, S00 bushels in the corresponding period last season. Tacoroa and Seattle combined received 17,400 bushels in the past week and for aha season to date the total receipts of both ports have been 2.369.000 bushels as against 604,200 bushels In the same period last year. It is probable that the record established at Portland in the past week wilt not stand long. The wheat movement is only starting and the traffic is expected to increase as the season advances. The northwest has more wheat this year 'than ver before and the bulk of it will be handled through Portland. This city long ago firmly established itself as the chief exporting market on the Pacific coast. With the water grade haul from the in terior, advantageous freight rates and all the large exporting firms operating here, Portland has a decided advantage over the other Pacific coast ports as a wheat market. WHEAT MARKET IN BAD SHAPE Exporters Inuble to Sell Abroad Resell Wheat Here. The wheat market was a sick affair yesterday. The decline in the east con tinued, making about 10 cents for the week. 'Wheat prices on the local grain board were 2 cents lower than Friday and buying In the country became very light. Exporters could not sell abroad and some of them were reselling the wheat here they had already purchased. Interest in the coarse grain market was fair, but was confined to white oats. One hundred tons for August delivery were sold 'at the Merchants' Exchange at $26.30, or $1 more than was bid the day before. Gray oats, however, were $1 lower on bid. Barley waa unchanged. Le Count's crop report from Omaha mid: "Corn has been slightly damaged by drouth but generally speaking the crop is above an average." B. W. Snow wired from Monticello, 111.; "Pratt and Dewltt counties show little signs of heat and drouth In appearance of corn fields. yield per acre will be below an average; husking will be a dis appointment." Terminal receipts, fan cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Portland Wht. Bly. Fir. Oats. Hay.

The buying flurry in the hops market seems to have temporarily subsided. There were fewer orders on the market at the close of the week for spots or contracts, but previous prices held 30 cents- for the new crop and 20 cents for last year's growth. Hop dealers do not look for any ma terial ohange In the market until after harvest. Most of them believe that prices will remain about steady in the meantime.

CHICAGO,-1 Aug. 20. Bear pressure In creased in wheat today and December wheat and all deliveries of com sold at a- new low on the crop. The liquidation which has been in evidence- in coarse graine of late extended to wheat and while there was a fair showing of strength early, the advance waa short lived. Trade was not large, however, and was mainly of local character with some buying of September wheat attributed to seaboard account. Prices closed weak. 2 &4 cents net lower with September wheat at $L14 and $1.14 and December at $1.15 and 1.15. Corn closed weak, a shade under he opening with September at 51 and 52 cents, while oats closed cent higher. Country corn offerings were much smaller and cas-h prices, about unchanged. Oats showed independent strength ana averaged higher, although! closing around he inside figures In sympathy wKh tna break of the other grains. Provisions averaged somewhat lower. with some buying of lard credited to packers, while commission houses eold on he break of 20 35 cents in nogs ana the weakness in grain. Prices for all grain and provisions have had a severe' fall this week, owing largely to notice taken of adverse economic con ditions. Downturns. in the value of wheat began under the Influence of stock market depression, which was generally in.ou here as emphasizing- unfavorable reports about the business situation as a wnote. Attention of traders centered especially on official announcement that 5.700,000 per sons In the United States were out of work, and on federal resesve ooara state ments about other factors operating against mercantile progress. Heavy liqui dation on the part of holders of wheat mnA mt i h bears ooeratlng on an extensive scale, the market appeared for a while to have no support except, irora nrnflt.tai ns ahorts. on tne aeciine, ex port demand became broader, country offerings aecreasea ana 'r"""" ft" ' - ' . , . . H,mAth ni of a rauy was due. Selling pressure, however, remained sufficient to prevent any decided upturn The Chicago market letter received yes terday by the Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland follows: Wheat About the only support In- the market came early in the day and was malnlv in the nature 01 evening up tn" contracts over the week end. After the first hour weakness developed and gen eral Belling was precipitated by the de clines In northwestern markets, the latter presumably in ' anticipation 01 large re ceipts Monday, as both Minneapolis and Duluth reported heavy consignment no tices. There was some buying of futures by seaboard interests, but the volume was not important. The local casn marmi was irregularly lower with futures, choice grades being in good demand, while poor lots were almost unsalable, a large part of them being carried over unsold aajd some sales made aa low as 85 cents. There Is no evidence of the liquidation of cash and futures having run their course, and consequently de do not think the bot tom has been reached. Corn Showed weakness at the start, due to selling by cash houses, but encountered fairly rood demand on the break and held relatively steady for the remainder of the session. Receipts were estimated at 400 cars and there waa only a fair demand for the grain at around yesterday's basis. Country offerings were somewhat less lib eral, although it is conceded that coun try selling will increase materially on say small advance. This weight of cash grain will, in our opinion, be more than the market can withstand. Oats The market again showed evi dence of Independent strength due to Che let-up In hedging pressure and a grow ing belief that prices are low enough. This latter theory is perhaps well founded from a long-distance viewpoint, but we do not expect it to materialize until the cash demand shows a material improve ment.

BEST STOCKS ARE BARELY STEADY Speculative Issues Sell at Lower Prices During Week. NEW YORK, Aug. 20. Financial markets thia1 week failed to keep pace with the brighter business outlook reported by com petent observers in various uectlons of the country. Stocka of the better class were barely steady, whlie many of the specula tive groups aisplayed greater weakness. Public intereat again was almost wholly lacking and no support from that q'uarter is looked for until congress makes known its attitude regarding the funding of rail road obligations and the proposed tax re vision programme assumes concrete form There was .a fair oemand for bond and several new capital issues were readily absorbed. In the main however, the in vestment inquiry was limited to rails and some of the better known foreign flota tions. Liberty issue xflected further liquidation. ' Conditions in the basio industries again were exemplified by the further wage cut of the United States Steel corporation. In dependent manufacturers Increased their output on lower price schedules, but the average of production was estimated at below 2o per cent. In the many lines con tributory to steel and iron, notably equip ments, -production continued at low ebb. Motor, oil, rubber, tobacco, sugar and laper shares were among tlia many low records of the week. Heaviness of mall order Issues testified to the light purchas ing power among -the farming element. - Large sums of money came into the local market from the interior, but the best open rate for call loans was 5 per cent. Time loans extending beyond 60 days were mainly restricted to commercial projects on prime collateral. Uncertainty continued to mark the course of foreign exchangee. Local rates were governed almost' entirely by London, where conflicting reports arose regarding the re tention of the bank rate. Lnsettlement of Dutch and Scandinavian exchanges was popularly ascribed to heavy eelling at those centers of German marks. Koreign Bonds.
