California la purchasing small supplies of
wheat in this territory While the volume of
sales la still limited, the fact" that tbe south
la buying at all la taken aa a good Indication
by tbe trade ln general.
The car shortage along the lines of the
Southern Pacific la causing much concern to
milling interests generally, because they ar
unable to fill their orders for millstuffs. Some
of the millers claim to have had orders for
several weeks before being able to secure
trsnsportatlon.
Coarse J rains are quiet ln tbe interior with
little business reported there in any of the
cereals.
Grain bags continue to strengthen ln tone
and price, but as there 1' practically nothing
offering here with guaranteed delivery, tbe
market Is considered nominal.
Broomball cabled from Liverpool that the
wheat market waa abowlng a firmer under
tone. There was nervousness over subma
rlnea and a probable embargo ln America.
Floating quantity la Increasing.
Argentine weather favorable. Port stocks
are increasing and the interior movement ia

United Kingdom General demand for wheat
la very quiet, aa It ia believed that supplies
are enough for tbe present.

WHEAT
Thurs.
Outside Demand Is
Less Heavy; Onion
Stocks Are Small
Sales Are Xot So Liberal, bat
Total Holdings Are Keeping
Trade Ideas Good.
While outside sales of onions are reported
less liberal by ahlppers, the msrket continues
to show strength generally and prices are
being maintained well at $2 per cental f. o. b.
country points.
The poor quality of tbe California atock
which Is being offered in the south at ex
treme low prices ia affecting to some extent
the demsnd for the better Oregon stock, sl
tlcugh recently the better clsss trade in tbe
south baa ahown more disposition to take bold
of the northern product. '
Total boldinga of pnlons ln this state are
so small that the trade does not anticipate for
a single moment that any difficulty will be
experienced in cleaning up all offerings at
ful values before new crop is available from
other sections.
Becaure of the. excellent quality of the
Oregon product and the fact that prices are
held within reason, it is Impossible far new
crop Australian onions to secure a foothold
on the coasT this aea.son.
Opening Strength a
Surprise for Wheat
Cticsgo, March 3 (I. N. S.) Wheat openel
stronger today. This change came as a mrr
prise to many of the big traders, who had
expected a continuation of the weak market.
Liquidation apparently has run its coarse on
the present bearish conditions. While the
short side today argued tnat large reserves and
the shipping situation la again a higher move
ln prices, the bulls took the stand that recent
depressive news hen been overworked, and
that tbe market la lower than the conditions
within.
Liverpool opened stronger today on factors
that In this country are considered bearish,
namely, the obstruction of shipping until the
submarine issue la settled. A good portion of
the optimistic side of tbe market continued to
favor sales on the rallies.
Both corn snd oata opened fractionally np
from yesterday's close. Trading in these two
eralns during tha first hour waa of a normal
volume and a firmness characterised the mar
ket. Later, however, fluctuations were more
pronounced. Technical factors ln these two
grains are ssld to have been exercised to the
maximum, and It la thought that tbe market
ia now awaiting newa or a controlling nature.
The bog market waa firm.
May wheat opened at 112. and was steady
at first. July opened at 109, and waa lees
regular.

Stanfield Section

There la nothing at all the matter with the
Stanfield section, according to Lloyd Klfhea,
editor of tbe Stanfield Standard, and a former
employe of The- Journal. Mr. Riches waa ln
the city today, baring come forward with
several loads of cattle owned by Dixon Bros.
of Stanfield.
The Stanfield section is ln good shape,"
says Riches. "The livestock men bsd plenty
of feed over tbe cold spell with some to
si are. For that reason there were only nom
inal tastes during tbe winter. The fruit
trees were not damaged, according to the best
svallable- information and tha growing wheat
crop is in excellent condition."

New Tork. March 3. (I. M. S.) The stock
market today opened blather. Industrial lead
ers were heavily traded la the opening; boar.
The baying movement was credited to certain 1
large Interests on the "inside," and which
are said to posses knowledge of the enormous
earnings of the big commercial institutions.
Rallies of this sort were augmented by the
natural abort covering that followed tbe in
coming support. Beading again was aceumu
ltted in large quantities by tbe same Inter,
eats' which were behind the recent movement.
The possibility of this government adopting
a fixed policy toward the German sub
marine campaign and thus obviating condi
tion of uncertainty, waa considered one of
the snstslnlng factors today.
The advance in copper dividend waa ex
pected to stimulate pricea, but failed, bow
ever. For this reason it 1 thought that the
copper list hss settled for the present to a
pure trading baals. It also a bowed that good
newa falla to affect stocks aa much aa bad
newa. It waa rumored on the floor ahortly
after the opening that Baldwin and American
Locomotive will merge. These two issue
were unusually active, bnt the trend of prices
ln the first hour failed to Indicate anything
more than mixed trading.

Beeeat Bond 8alov Three sales of
bonds were closed this week ln which
Portland bond houses were either the
successful bidders or among those at
the top of the list. The Port of As
toria sold to Morris Brothers $75,000
of bonds issued to pay for general port
development purpases. The expendi
tures will include, it la understood,
coal bunkers and grain elevators. As
the Port of Astoria limits are one with
the county boundaries, the obligation
lies against the. entire property of
Clatsop county. Tbe bonds bear 6 per
cent interest. One-fifth of the Issue
will be retired after 15 years and one
fifth additional each succeeding fifth
year. The sale price was 103.11, which
returns to the buyer 4.77 per cent.
To finance the erection of an addi
tion to the high school and to.' one
grammar school, the school district of
Walla Walla sold to the state of Wash
ington, at par and Interest, $200,000
bonds, optional after one year, 4 per
cent interest, payable annually. The
state bought them for the irreducible
school fund. The Lumberaena Trust
company submitted a bid of a premium
of (4,067.77 on the basis of the bonds
bearing 4 per cent Interest, dae in
20 years, but optional1 after 10 years.
Interest payable semi-annually. The
school trustees had difficulty ln decid
ing between the bids of the state and
the trust company, because they were
so clOBe. Between a , per cent bond
payable annually and a 4 per cent
payable semi-annually, there Is a nom
inal difference in favor of the seller
of 13.85 a thousand, but in order to
earn the difference the school district
must keep its Interest money busy all
of the time. The trust company of
fered to demonstrate to the school
districts that lta bid waa the highest
but the difference waa so small that
nothing came of the offer and the state
took the bonds. There were 13 bids
in all submitted.
There were 85 bids made for an Is
sue of $85,000 of bonus offered by the
school district of Idaho Falls. Morris
Brothers and the Lumbermen Trust
company were the second and ntiird
highest bidders, the sa's being made to
a Salt Lake hnus at a premium of
$2978, a basis of 103.60. The bonds are
for 20 years, with optional payment
after 10 years and-bear 5 per cent interest
next fall's trade. "The rise In woo
the premium on spinning machinery
the extra cost of dyeing, Increases
wages, have brought wool goods ii
general to nearly twice the accus
tomed price. There is an effort mads
to reserve men to supply the needs, of
the Industry- but the labor supply if ;
wholly Inadequate."

Two Principal Causes of Tallarev-
Selected because it was believed to be :
an average business community, a an in
vey ct the business development of
Waterloo. Iowa, has been made. The v
changes that have occurred In the bust .
noes houses of that community and
the reasons for them have all been ao :
curately ascertained covering a period '
of 20 years. It has been found that ol
the 20 concerns in business at tbe be '
ginning of the period studied, only
six are active today,' and a great many
other changes ln addition have oc- '
currcd. Two causes for business fail
ures which led all the rest ln fre
quency of occurrence, were overbuying
and poor bookkeeping.

Vancouver, Wash., March 8. Some
interesting statistics have been se
cured from the educational directory
relative to Vancouver's comparative
standing with other districts in the
state as to enrollment and expenses of
operating the affairs of tbe district
There are 43 districts in the state,
which have an enrollment of 600 or
more, and Vancouver ranks tenth. In
high school enrollment Vancouver
ranks eighth.
Thirty-three district are spending
more per capita for the education of
their children than Vancouver and nine
are spending less. Tbe average for
the 43 districts is $6.50 more per pupil
than Vancouver spends, and the aver
age number of pupils per teacher la
26.7, while Vancouvera average Is a
little more than 29.
The local tax levies vary from fire
to 19 mills. During the year 1911-14
Vancouver's levy was the lowest of
the list: for 1914-15 Aberdeen was one
tenth of a mill lower but the previous"
year Aberdeen's was nearly double
thatof Vancouver.
An average of the past three yeara
shows that Vancouver's levy has been
the lowest of the 45 largest districts
in the state and less than half of the
average for that time. The average
in 191S-14 was 11.13 mills and in 1814
15 tt was 11.8 mills. Vancouver's levy
during that time was fivex mills.
