While the general trend of wheat price was to higher levels la the pit today, th market was not of th runaway sort that featured th cloeo of last week. Price were a boot c up In the first hour, July selling at Sl.lSVa September at (1.19 and December at J1.22V4. Rust report continued to come In and there war other factor that favored higher levels. Th recent sharp advance, however, baa In duced a trad Inclination to tak profits snd under such pressure some holders found them selves overloaded. Tbe general foreign aitua t!on waa practically unchanged and th world summary of crops waa bulllah. In tbe Initial trading, July corn eased off slmost 2 cents and both th deferred futures were weaker, although more moderately than July. July and December oats held a com paratively ateady course, while tbe September grain sold down fractionally In the ftrst transections. Much dryness in th belt was evidenced in the weather reports and stste- ments from investigators in the field aug mented the sentiment that this is th most critical period for the crops.

This particular bricklayer was a quick worker In fact, he was Al most too quick. In his eagerness to complete his task he accidently let a brick drop into the roadway. Immediately the man was concerned as to whether the brick had done any damage. He peered down and ob served a pedestrian struggling with his bowler hat, which had been forced over his eyes. "Did the brick hit anyone?" crltd the brieklayer. "I should think it did." replied the pedestrian, managing to get his head free from the gripping bowler, "it hit me!" "That's right," ths bricklayer cheer fully remarked. '"Always own up aiu tell ths truth! You'll find it pays.

Already the banks of Port-' land are receiving from the reserve bank at Saa Praneisco checks drawn on them and which they hav to honor without deducting exchange charge. Most of the items received bear east ern indorsements, that is, tbey come from points outside this district. For honoring similar checks the Portland banks have been used to deducting one-tenth-of 1 per cent for their exchange charge. Under the present arrange ment the checks must be received at par. The items have come from Salt Lakend east. Portland bankers are much 'interested in a resolution re cently passed by the Spokane clearing house which indicates that tbe bankers there will not abide by the order of the federal reserve bank. They have ! passed a resolution to the effect that I present rates are to be observed and ; that all banks are to be treated alike. ' If this means a strike against the generally admitted plain authority of the federal reserve law the bankers of this city will watch the outcome with interest. Further information as to the exact wording of the resolution is awaited. Wew Tork Banker Urges SoTelop xnsat of Waterway. Robert McQueen Grant, of New York City, president of a banking house of .that name, has been In the city a few days. He has been seeing slowly all the special feat ures of development which this north west country affords. He is tremen dously enthusiastic about the Colum bia highway and its beauties, lie takes us to task by saying that we surely do not appreciate the value of the Columbia river as a water way, or we should be using it more. He says it is one of our most valuable assets land no Lime should be lost in putting it to its fullest use. Jobbers' Collections Show Improve ment. According :o the report of the aujustment bureau of the Portland As sociation of Credit Ale 11 for June, col lections for the month show an im provement over May oJ this year and over June of last year. The bureau had inquiries sent to It concerning an acgregate indebtedness of $91,489, re- pcrts on which showed then was $242,- 326. or 29.97 per cent, past dus. Thii iLdebtedness was divided between $174,349 in city account and $417.14J lu country accounts. Of th city In debtedness $66,267, or S7.69 per cent, was past due, which compares will 4 2.12 per cent for May. Of the country indebtedness, $177,069 or 42.46 per cent. , was past due, which compares with I 45.26 per cent for May of last year. j The foregoing reports indicate that the accounts on the books of the Jobbers j in Portland's trade territory are in bet ter shape than they were last month or even a year ago. June Bankruptcies Increase; Liabil ities Less. According to the compila tion of the adjustment bureau of the Portland Association of Credit Men, there were 39 voluntary and seven in voluntary petitiens in bankruptcy filed lu June- in Oregon. This compares with 31 voluntary and three involuntary, a total of 84, petitions in May of this year and 80 voluntary and three In voluntary petitions, a total of 33 peti tions, in June, 1915. The liabilities under the volunta.-y petitions In bank ruptcy for June, 1916, were $128,326.95, which compares- with $176,637 In the preceding month and $191,996 for the corresponding period it last year. These figures would indicate the go ing into liquidation at this time of a larger number of small concerns.
