Bushels as Compared With.
517,400 at All Sound Ports.
Wore wheat In coming Into Portland this
year from the interior than ever before.
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:

Prices Remain Steady at 30 Cent for Con
tracts and 20 Cents for Spots.
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.
A government crop bulletin Just Issued
puts the condition of the American crop
on August 1 at 83 per cent, as against
a ten-year average on the same date of
89.5 per cent. The 1921 forecast from
condition on August 1 and July 1 is given

ONION PRICES ARE ON VP GRADE
American Crop Much Smaller Than Laat
Yeur and Demand Strong.
There la a much stronger tone In the
onion market and northwestern yellow
onions are now quoted by local dealers as
high as $3 a hundred. A stronger eastern
demand is given as the reason for the ad
vance. According to the latest government re
port, the total acreage In late onions in
the United States is 37,530, as compared
with 43,649 acres last year. The Indicated
yield per acre is 2S9 bushels against 414
euphels last year, and the estimated pro
duction 21,713 -cars against 36,137 cars In
1920.
The following estimate of the 1921 pro
duction in cars of 500 bushels each is made
by the government specialists:

Grains Are Irrc g-ular. .
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.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
WHEAT.
Open. High. Low. Close.

When Investments Profit Most
To insure rapid absorption, new bond issues are brought out at
slightly under the market price of similar securities. These new
issues, therefore, usually advance in price.

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.
