B ETTERG RAD I NG MEANS BETTER WOO L PRICES HERE E CONDITION IS NOT SO BEARISH AS E WOULD T Wheat ' Situation Throughout the World j la Fair America Gain ' fn'Prodnctlon WU1 Not Make Up . for World's Deficiency. Just why all this alarm among cer tain grain buy in intercuts that prices are . going to the bow wows Is bard to understand except the natural bear ish feelings generally entertained by the person who wants to bur a product. Right here it might be stated that It is not real good usslnesg tor buy ers, to no! about the country talking high prices or for producers to assert that they f believe values are going Bayers with high priced ships on their hands with which they have speculating in. are naturally not desir ous of paying: extreme values for the Krain to fill these ships. They are In a ;: position . where hutte losses stare them In the face unless they can pur chase the wheat for low prices or else foreign markets make corresponding advances, i The latter is scarcely like ly at this Itime. Crop conditions of course will make or unmake the price of wheat. The American isroo is heavier than a year ago. ' India - has a small' increase In output but, taking the world as a whole, th production does not prom ise to reach the totals of a year ago. This means, therefore, that there 4s really ho occasion for alarm that wheat prices will go to an extreme low record. If peace should be de clared the prospects for Brood wheat prices are even better - than ' if war continues. K. Such an idea is not en tertained, bv the general grain trade but . its outcome Is almost assured. The ending of the war would mean the release of many-ships now either held in . port because of -the fear of the enemy or are being used by the fighting nations for the transporta tion of supplies and troops. ' The fact that England recently se cured a number ; of ships to scarry wheat from India at rates said to be materially . less than - at present in effect in the open trade, indicates that the ship ' shortage will be less acute than formerly believed. ' If this proves true It means that lower charter rates will be the means of keeping the price of cereals up.- --Indicating the severe shortage of wheat-la Kurope is the announcement that the Italian government has sus pended all duties on wheat until Jan-' wary, 191. This scarcely looks as if Europe is assured of such a big crop of the, cereal as some Interests would have us believe. '-' Xiocally there was a fair volume of trading in ' .wheat during the . week. Considering the limited supply avail able conditions were good. Prices were err art 1c and reflected sentiment with the auick changes in the Chi casro "situation. - TV tit A X Bid Prices fcit; iti.

At present it looks as if at least 20,000 bales of the New Zea land wools available will not be cata logued. : : The remarkable rally of prices half way through the sales Is not easy to explain. A month ago it was the gen eral opinion that the amount of capi tal locked ut in previous purchases was so large that the buying power of the trade for these sales must be seri ously impaired. The decline of prices during the first week lent support to this view, but no sooner had prices reached what seemed to be a reason able level than the supposed financial difficulties vanished and everybody started buying eagerly.. .

What few clips In the Grays Lake country had not contracted at 25, went to Har ris at 264. , The recent removal of the embargo on fine wools resulted in a wild scram ble among the buyers for what few coarse clips r remained in this country. Competition has been keen, between Kiseman & Co., of Boston, Prank & Co., of St. Louis, and Swift & , Co., of Chi cago, and what few clips were held have been disposed of in the past week at prices close up to the 30 cent mark. HOT WINDS DO. SOME DAMAGE TO THE WHEAT CROP Walla Walla, Wash., June 26. Wheat growers of the Walla Walla valley were on the anxious seat Tues day and Wednesday, when hot north winds fanned the territory In this sec tion of the state, but, aside from fields of spring grain in the light-land dis tricts, 1t is said little damage was done. 'The breezes,- proving . of short duration, were followed by cool weather on Thursday and a light rain on Fri day and this probably will save the quality of the grain from being i af fected to any great extent. If is said, however, that some spring wheat in the western portion of the county shows unmistakable signs of burning and corn on similar land was badly shrivled. Fall grain, on the other hand, being further advanced, was not af fected noticeably. The damp cool weather of Friday, while not wholly welcomed by those preparing for harvest has been of much benefit to the growing wheat. Under these conditions spring grain is developing more satisfactorily and fields of fall-sown grain which are slightly backward Will not tuffer uniesa ait pians go wrong, harvest 1 . - operations will begin ' the first week in July, and the Fourth, is set as the date-for the beginning of activities generally. There wil be no celebration here on that day to attract harvest hands and make them backward about starting work in the fields. While many fall-sown fields appear to be wholly ripened and ready for the combines, there are north slopes that are as green as they were several weeks ago, and until - these take the golden hue, the growers will be in no great hurry to start their harvest,! According to local farmers, there Is no shortage of harvest hands. - Many of these growers have already selected their "crews and are breaking thejn in for the heavy work in the wheat while haying. .Th city ns filled with hdle men and many are making a farm-to-farm canvas for work. - RESERVE BANK STATEMENT 1 ...... . .. ,v .. 1 1 San Francisco.

Improv ing Every -Minute In United States as Well as in Europe. The Portland .'Wool --.Warehouse Co. reports the general wool situation as follows: Our correspondents report from both Boston i and 'Philadelphia that ' while the market Is 1 slow,' prices are very firm at.last Tjuotations and mills have not as yet started to operate due. no doubt, to it being midseason with- them and while it Is slow on the average, there are Still some very- good . sales reported of the new wools at - good figures. . - - -- wools are beginning to arrive from the interior and while there are some Australian wools that look cheaper, the American .manufacturers, . as a whole, prefer and are paying a better price for domestic stocks. The army contracts ' are to be let soon, and the quantity and who will bo the ones to get them. Is still an unknown fac tor and it looks now from what lnfor- mation can be learned.' that these con tracts when they are let, sre going to be extremely large and that will keep the small mill busy taking care of the orders of the overflow from the mills, that receive the contracts. The fine wool situation , is improv ing every minute both in eastern mar kets and in London, and the fine wools today In Boston are cheaper than thev can be purchased abroad and this is especially true of fine tops which have gone up approximately 12c a pound In the past two weeks. The shortage of fine combine; Wool is beginning to be .more apparent all the time, as the strong staple fine wools from Aus tria are limited and most of the wools offered now, in comparison with pur fine wools, are defective. The -season has about closed out here with probably over half the wool leit in tne state. ' -ine Willamette valley wools have been sold as high as 81 4 c and from our reports would judge that the valley is fairly clean of wools with only a scattering here and there. The Montana and Wyoming wools are open shortly and we look for a strong market in those two states,-as lots o-vork has been done to classify the wools and-, put them into a mer chantable shape, and whether the buy er will take advantage of this expert handling, remains to be seen. Carpet wools in the east are very scarce and extremely hard to get on account of shipping facilities and while they don't enter into competition with domestic wools, they still have a bear ing on the market. A great -deal of the wool left in the- country will in all probability come through our ware house here to be graded and sold, and from the present prices in London, we will be able to sell our wools abroad at a much better figure than we could even sell to the mills in this country.

Soma time ago the National Livestock Exchange, which is composed. of all the local exchanges of -the country, passed a resolution to stop the practice. . Tbsc claim was made that the direct buying of livestock was sot . only detrimental to producers . but to the ' general , In dustry. - : ,.-.:.. ,( :- . - The effect of direct-buying of live stock upon producers is easily . seen. With killers holding-a liberal,, supply of stuff on direct purchase, they have been able at various times to 'hold this stock as a club against shippers .to the open . market. - thereby forcing lower prices than the stock . was actually worth. This condition has been shown both - here and at other points'. Ho place where direct buying- is shown is exempt from this trouble. It cost money to buy livestock di rect. In fact the cost of direct pur chases is so great that the country In terest who sells is generally the loser. This applies not only to those that sell to the direct buyer but -to the ones who ship to the open market, The man -who sells direct is simply forcing his neighbor to accept lower prices for his livestock-than it is actually worth. Oood Cattle Are Scarce. 'While there was quite a fair run of cattle in the North Portland yards, in cluding 10 loads of JUexican tock dur ing the week, little really top stuff was available. - In fact tops were conspicu ous by their absence generally in - th cattle trade. - The fact that California feeders of Mexican cattle have been shipping in this . direction indicates that , ..even though the situation here has not been of the best recently, the market re turns are probably better to outsiders than competitive centers. - - General cattle market range: Select steers ........ ...I 7.00 Best hay fed steers S.8KVU 6.506.7S 6.00(00.35. .00tJ.10 6.75 (Lp 5.90 7.00 i 7.60 4.S0 uooa to cnoice ............

An erratic tone was shown" in the hog: division of the- North Portland market during - the week.- Receipts were liberal and this affected the price situation somewhat, although at the opening prices advanced a dime to $7.86. Later when out aid , Interests were not here to compete for offerings,-local bargain hunters had things their own way and beat the market back to $7.76, later being forced to make - a concession of another nickel with tops -at J7.80. Hog supplies have come forward to all Pacific northwest packing centers in too much abundance recently.
