HIGHER PRICES ARE RULE AT OPENING OF THE CHICAGO TRADE Buying Is Light but Prices Fairly Steady; Unseasonable Weather Continues as a Bull Factor, in Wheat; Liverpool Is Weaker. Chicago. Aug. 2fl. Slightly higher grain prices were recorded in tlie pit at the own ing of the market today. - Wheat was un changed to ',i higher. Corn opened with a gain of to Vj. and oats was m to 4. There was very little buying la wheat In the early trading. Continued unseasonable weather over a large portion of tbe belt caused some uneasiness. September wheat was inclined to drop, while the deferred options maintained a fairly steady tone. Threshing returns from the northwest were favorable and induced some buying in Decem ber wheat. The influencing factor against a,ny heavy buying Is the Dardanelles situation. Liverpool market was lower today. Prices in the corn pit held fairly steady after the slightly higher opening. The oats market is considered to 1 In a better posi tion. Values held firm with the buying of fair volume. Provisions were up at the out set of tbe trading. Wuat closed irregular. Prices were Vi down to up compared with the opening figures. Corn closed with an advance of Vj to :'n ami oats was hit to higher. Provisions finished with au advance.

Plates unchanged and Indians 3d higher with nothing offered. Corn qniet aud neglected; poor spot demand offset private estimates' : of light Argentine shipments this week. Argentine weather con ditions clear and cool. Weather during the past 10 days has been favorable in western Eerope and new wheat arriving to markets, and growers are willing to accept 47d at mills but tbe quality is variable. If king dom merchants had assurances or could ob- 1 tain such from the gjveruuieut of no lurtner interference they would purchase at present prices, for shipments are moderate in view of war, high freights and insurance and their disposition to hold good reserves as long as submarine warfare lasts and fears of it becoming more effective.

LUMBERING Federal Government to Buy 18,000,000 Feet of Fir for Reclamation Projects. DENVER IS THE PURCHASING CENTER Word has been received here from Denver, ,Colo., to" the effect that the federal Rovernment plans to make pur chases of about 18,000,000 feet of fir lumber for use in the prosecution of Its reclamation projects in Colorado and Utah, in which district Denver Is the purchasing center. The welcome news came' from the Denver representative of a lumber manufactut Iiik firm here, and it is taken to mean that the federal Kovern ment authorities have come to the con clusion that now is an opportune time to buy lumber at favorable prices, since some of tlie material will not be required for use until next March. "I understand," said the lumberman who received the Information from his representative, "that tho engineers in charge of the various projects center-ins- at Iicnver have recommended that lumber to cover all needs in connection with the various reclamation projects up till next Marph be purchased now while prices are' low and transporta tion facilities ample. It indicates a disposition on the part of the govern ment to assist the lumber Industry for placing of an order of that magnitude at this time will have a tendency to materially strengthen the- market. And, too, it is evident that the govern ment buyers have come to the conclu sion that bottom prices liave been reached. Lumber manufacturers throughout Oregon and Washington will await with interest the specifications, which it is expected will appear soon. SAWMILL PROPERTY IS SOLD Sheridan Timber Company Disposes of Holdings at Sheridan. Transfer of the Sheridan Timber company's property at S'heridan, Or., to George M. Uracher and J. C. Bracher of the Bracher Timber company of this city, lias been practically closed, alter negotiations for several weeks. The property involved is estimated to be worth about $L'00,000. The Sheridan Timber company was organized about 10 years ago by Fre mont Everett who came here at that time from Nebraska. He laid tlie foun dation for the mill which now has a 10 hour capacity of 100,000 feet. The mill is shut down for the time beintr, but the plaining mills are runnlpg. Included in the property is a body of timber cruising about 175,000.000 feet of fir. With about 6,000,000 feet of lumber on hand the company intends not to resume cutting till the lumber market becomes considerably firmer. George Bracher will have charge of tne mill and J. C Bracher will attend to the sale of the output through the Portland offices. Fremont Everett says the the sale of the mill means his retirement from the lumber industry. He will probably devote part of his time to farming ;.s some farm properties were 'accepted as part payment for the mill property. Under the new ownership the coni- any will be known as the Sheridan umber company. MARKET HIT, NO CARRIERS New York Wants Fir but There Is 5fO Way to Get It There. Lack of carriers only prevents large quantities of fir going from, this port to a ready market in New York, ac cording to F. A. Sullivan of the whole sale lumber selling firm of Sullivan & Forbes, inc. Mr. Sullivan is in receipt of letters from his partner, 1. - W. Forbes, who looks after the New York end of the business, stating that. New i York is in the market for fir lumber ; in large quantities. The rail freight a long haul, excepting on the very high est grades. Spruce uppers are shipped by this route, 'however. In considerable quantities. "There is a good demand for fir lumber in New York," said Mr. Forbes this morning, "but without vessels in which to ship the lumber, manufact urers of Portland and other Pacific northwest points have , their hands tied. In the first place the American merchant marine is small and the few vessels suitable for the trade have been attracted to other fields mora In viting, due to the war." PRICES TENDING TO STIFFEN Advance at Early Date Held as No Surprise. Lumber manufacturers and dealers say there is a tendency to stiffen prices all around, and it is held that an ad vance at an early date should not come as a surprise. - For the past 30 days prices have ruled steady, and as the demand especially for clears is some what Improved. Marfufacturers have looked loneinsr ly for the happy moment when they would be In position to elevate quota tions, for the returns now from the log under existing conditions are said to be anything but profitable. In fact, the word has gone out repeatedly that many mflls are operating at ac tual loss. But in many instances it has been found less expensive to oper ate at a loss, than to shut down en tirely. FEW CAMPfl IN OPERATION Loggers on the Columbia River Have Little to Do. Few logging camps are now In oper ation in the t-oiumoia river district, and it will probably be several weeks before any of the idle camps will re sume work. On the Oregon side of tho river the Kerry Logging company and the Big Creek Logging company camps are the only large ones active for the present. On the Washington side ac tivities are a little more active, due to the fact that some of the Portland sawmills have camps on that side of the river. .
