1 1 EUROPE mm mm of SHIPS ENGAGED FOR NEW CROP LOADING Notwithstanding the Belief That FVance Will Need Record Impor tation This Season's Trade Feels Quite Dumpy. r By Hvman II. Cohen. ' ! With more ship chartered to data i In the Pacific northwest for grain load ing for foreign porta, than for about ' 11 years, there la much leaa preaaure In the market for the coming wheat . crop than had been anticipated. While it la true that exporting in ' tereata are not at thla time keen to I take hold ef supplies because f thi rather alow foreign demand at the mo ment, the fact remain that Europe la vary likelr to call for record ahlp i menta from thla aection during 1914 . It and ahlppera have prepared for this. Outwardly the market beara every i evidence or extremely low prices for . the oomlng crop but that thia feeling la net shared entirely by the trade waa ' Indicated the oast week in the interior i by the purchase of club wheat there , on the basis of 80o a bushel, tidewater track. ' While theae purchaaea were i for early delivery and were of rather , email volume, atill the deala reflect . the changing aentiment in the trade alnce it became apparent that the world la not going to produce such i big crop of wheat as a year ago. Object to Bullish Report. Some of the buyers object to the re cent reports In these columns which told of a probable good demand from wheat abroad. They received the Im pression, they said, that the farmers were advised by the articles not to sell their wheat. This Is far from the fact. There Is no attempt by this da partment to tell producers whether to sell or hold. They are given the news of the markets uncolored and they are auowea to Dase tneir own juagmen from these facta. Every line of Infor mation that can be secured- In the world's trade that has the slightest bearing upon the price of wheat at Pa cific) northwest points is printed In theae columns. It Is the only Informa tion that the producer haa to Judge tho market and the newa is always given pirn ror wnat it is wortn, notmng more. Trance aa an Imrtartar. Important messages were .received during- the week from Prance tellina- of the expectations of the leaders of the , grain trade there that record importa tions or wheat will be necessary by France to fill the wants of its millers. The wheat market at leading world's primary centers has of late been held rather firm. Orowera wre far leaa keen to accept current values than for merly. The situation, in their opin ions, was Improving ao far as the price was concerned. That Pacific .northwest wheat ex portera in a more limited degree ehare their thoughts is indicated by the rec ord number of ships chartered to move . the coming crop. ' There Is no denying the .general I bearlshness that has recently been shown In the apot wheat trade through out the world.. At Chicago this week the lowest prices for nine years ruled In wheat options but alnce then there has been a gradual hardening of val ues, indicating once again that when a big crop Is reported the trade be comes too bearish and that short sell ers are later forced to cover. te Market in Doubt. While there appears to be In sight a rather good market for' wheat at Pa cific northwest points when the sea son starts, there is much doubt regard ing the ultimate range of values. Sonsn of the leading export Interests have expressed the forecast that they will be able to purchase wheat late in the season at materially reduced values than firsl quotations. While they are fuesslne: as to this outcome, their ln erence Is natural In view of the gen . era! depression in the world's trade.

New York June 20. The occurrences recorded during- the paBt week have been In great part lacking In variety and Interest, aside, perhaps, from the gold movement and the change for the better In conditions In Europe. Then, too, the prospect of our new banking system being in operation some time in September haa doubtless lent much en couragement and confidence to bank ing interests, as a huge total of com mercial paoer shortly will h avail. able as a basis of speculation, and the prospect of the lama, baa almost en tirely dispelled fears of money strin gency. Thla, despite the brilliant crop outlook, and the consequent prospects for a keen Interior demand for funds for crop moving purposes. Conditions on the continent were for quite a period decidedly strained, aa a consequence of the political tur moil In France and delay on the part of the French government In providing for Its financial requirements. The French Investment markets -were closed to foreigners pending a govern mental offering as It was apparently the desire of the French minister of finance to preserve the home invest ment inquiry for domestic purposes In order that the welfare of the govern ment might not be subordinated to that of other states. Therefore much gratification was expressed on the bourse and in other circles when It became- apparent that the new French cabinet was likely to be a success, and me ueuer zeeiing was galvanized by the announcement to the effect that the government would offer about $160,000,000 In 3 per cent bonds about July 6; the disposal of which Is practically assured. According to ca bles, financial conditions will Improve greatly after the loan is placed, and many underwriters who have been1 forced to carry heavy burdens for numerous months will thus shortly be able to relieve themselves through means of appealing to French in vestors. In addition to the foregoing the sit uation in Russia shows improvement, and Russian securities have displayed a much firmer tone. The same applies with equal force to Brazil, and inas much as the French have large inter ests in both of those countries, it is not difficult to perceive why the conti nent has become more cheerful as a re sult of the tendencies to which ref erences has been made above. The exportations of gold so far this year have been estimated at about $70,000,000, and the fact that domestic money rates have not been influenced to a material extent by the loss of tnat amount or goia. particularly when it Is considered that- over $50,000,000 has been engaged for shipment during past few months is a rather strong commentary on tne well liquidated state of affairs In nearly all domestic lines of constructive endeavor. It Is quite true that the lagging tendencies ooservaoie in iraae circles ana tne consequent slack demand for accom modations lor general business pur- making it feasible to expect such a vast amount of yellow metal within such a relatively short time. All of the foregoing has been fol lowed by - somewhat better demand from foreign sources for American se curities. The inquiry so far has been for a specific group of issues, and not general, nut it is connaentiy antici pated that the demand will broaden and extend to most all Quarters. Metal stocKs nave neen favored ty Europeans, and In addition there haa been a fair absorption of high grade railway shares. The New York stock market has been moderately stimulated by the In creased interest in American issues. but even' so, the action of the list has been rather discouraging to Interests constructively inclined, owing, no doubt, to the narrow fluctuations and the lack of aggressive leadership on the buying side. The delay In handing 'down the de cisions In the eastern rate cases has been looked upon by many as the cause of the prevailing Inertia, arid In addition the legislative activities at Washington have also been described as belna one of the principal I re straints. However that may be, Jt" Is beginning to be realized that the high ly satisfactory crop prospects, the vast accumulation 01 runas at reserve cen ters the well liquidated state of af fairs In commercial and industrial lines, and the Improvement in condi tions In Europe, are factors which were least expected and are likely to assert themselves . as controlling influences and likely to overshadow many of those ills, the importance of which Is likely to be exaggerated when senti ment Is nnduly depressed. This is to say that while it Is quite true that a forward movement would be greatly accelerated should the rate cases be out of the 'way and 'congress out of session, still it is never possible to size up the situation without finding a few weak spots or discouraging tend encies. Therefore It perhaps Is only a reasonable conclusion that Inaction will shortly begin to wear upon the nerves of business and financial communities. The next change of Importance, there fore, whicn most logically is likely to occur would seem to be one which would contemplate an extension of en ternrise and a desire to minimize, rath er than magnify the Importance o factors wnose power to cause harm is rather Insignificant, when the gen eral wealth and vitality of the whol country la considered. . ; San Francisco Barley Calls.

Shorts Hustle to Cover on the Early Movement. Chicago, June 20. There was great action in wheat for the day. The re ports of heavy export sales and enor mous lake charters for prompt ship ment 01 old wheat the past few days finally created some bullish feeling in the trade and ttaere was a bull market the first hour today. Around ton prices two or three big houses began putting wheat Into the market in large quantities. When one big house stopped selling others began and It looKea as ir tne supply was coming largely from one or two sources. It was the popular view in the open mar. ket that much of the selling was on orders from the leading Interests which announced the heavy sales of old cash wheat and the prospect of a clean up of the bulk of Chicago stocks oy tne ena 01 next week. The problem the trade has to deal with now Is not old, but new wheat. Elevator people had heavy country ac ceptances over night. Most receivers reported the prospect for early move ment. At close cash business was re- ?orted at 240,000 bushels, including 40,000 bushels of new wheat to ex porters.

LI LOW PRICE AT SEASON'S CLOSE Too Much Publicity of Former High Price Believed by Some Growers to Be Reason; World's Market Is Really Higher. By Hyman H. Cohen. The payment of 2c" a pound less for wool at the Shanlko sales this week than initial transactions is scarcely in lino with the general tendency of the wool market at world's centers. The market for wool at all points in the world with the exception of Shan lko has been firmer and higher dur ing tne last weeK or 10 days. Tne for mer Shanlko sales were the result of much publicity throughout the United states as tney inaicatea a very snarp advance over the prices that were be ing paid prior to the time the free trade bill was put Into effect. This seems to be just what the big eastern mill interests were not look ing for. They were agbast at the pub licity given the Shaniko sales ana for that reason the last offerings did not meet with such a good reception nor such high bids. . Were world's conditions lees favor able than at the time the first sales were made at Shaniko this season. there would have been no reason to complain. As matters stand, with the world's trade generally Quoting a high er price, the Shaniko sellers believe they were discriminated against by buyers. The sales at Shaniko leave but few lots of wool In the hands of Oregon producers. In the main they have re ceived from 2 to 4c a pound more ror their offerings than a year ago. There was scarcely sufficient wool left at Bnaniko- previous to tne last sales to cause buyers to worry about securing tn eae oixerings. The feeling in the wool trade in the east Is best Indicated by the following mail advice from Boston: The volume of business has hardly been as large during the past wee aa it was in the one preceding, but manufacturers have been obliged, nev ertheless, to buy a fair quantity of wool ana xor wnat tney nave taaen have paid full recent rates, although any endeavor to advance prices haa met with , the same stiff resistance that has been In evidence of late all along the line from topmaker to weaver. . The present week will see a practi cal end to the buying of wool in the country west 01 tne Mississippi river. Very little wool is now left in the northwest and Texas will doubtless fee pretty well cleaned up this week. The struggle , wiQ then be transferred to the seaboard markets in earnest and the question is whether or not the market will advance sufficiently to allow the dealers profits on their later bought wools. - In In thia connection It is certlnent to consider the heavy Importations of wool which are being made at - the present time, Latest cable advices from Bradford. England, indicate that the American operators are making 1 the market on wool and tops, more SHANIKO W IN RECEIVE WHEAT MUTTON TRADE NOW RATHER' STRONG HERE WITH BIGGER DEMAND Killers Forced to Keep Values In tact Even Though Run Is Big; Country Interests Are ' Buying Supplies t Present Time.

Cohen. The wonderful strength of the sheep market at North Portland as well as -l ouier American eiocixyara poinia Is attracting much attention from the I trade. The big run of mutton and j lambs at North Portland during the'Oroclett for a one and one-half story week failed to even in the slightest particular weaken the trade and all arrivals were gladly picked up by small and large packinar Interest at last week's full values. The fact that sheep owners in the country are themselves purchasing mutton is sufficient reason for the strength In the trade at practically all points. Wool prices were so good this season with . the likelihood of a similar showing next season, that there is a general, tendency at country points to get back Into the mutton business. Considering its closeness to the sheep supplies and the limited demand that has been shown in the coast mar kets for muttasi up to the last year, the present strength of the trade in the face of flush of season arrivals, is causing comment1 of much favor to the North Portland trade.

With California grass cattle of good ESS? ifnertyuUesroed for the coming week's trade at North Portland, there was a general tendency to weaken views among buyers In the , local yards during the week. There was a email increase in ins . volume of catUe arrivals during the ! wo1r nmn.ri1 with tho nrttvtnuH nix days: Very little real good stuff putj in appearance during tne ween ana in a measure this accounted for the aimost general lack or sales at ex- treme values.

There was a fair advance In the price of swine at North Portland dur ing the week in the face of a small in crease in the marketing. Hog prices throughout th. coVntrV are showing similar condition ' and there is still room for a rather smart advance in the local price before it reaches its Usual position in uu wunirj v u bub. Whether this advance will materialize will depend considerably upon the amount of stuff that is available for killers during the coming week. Re ceipts during the last few weeks have been somewhat reduced and unless more stuff comes forward there Is a general belief that killers will be forced to change their views and again place North Portland at the head of the hog markets of the United States.

Buyers, while "bucking" some what, are still glad to be able to se cure supplies and are forced to accept the wool at the prices asked by hold ers. In Ohio medium wools have com manded as much as 27c, and the gen eral price for fine and medium wool has been 25c and 26c to the farmer. Some growers declare they will not sell their unwashed wools under 30c In Michigan 24 c to 25c is being paid for medium clips, and as much as 24c is being paid for medium bright clear clips in Missouri.
