Early trading in barley at Padffe Northwest
country points nas been of extremely small vol
ume. With a very short croo in tha three
state this season and with a rather poor quality
of the initial offerings, the trad is wondering
Just where It is going to get the. major portion
oi its requirements for milling.
Some new crop barley has been Purehr. 1 by
Pacific Northwest firm at California points, but
it is not known wher the bulk of tha require'
ments will be secured.
Gradual reopening of all the mill of the
Northwest is announced bat tha output of mlll-
stmis is still scant, Nona la being offered gen
eraJly on the open market;" mwt of the millers
nave back order on hand that will take them
at least a month to fill.
Broom ha 11 cabled:
Italy Harvesting continues to make rapid
headway and ia described as being good to aver
age. There have been some complaints from
northern Italy, owing to excessive dampness. In
southern Italy, however, an abundant crop is pre
dicted and where harvesting has taken place the
returns confirm this prediction.
France The appearance of winter cereal crop
is excellent. Harvesting has commenced in many
localities with the fine promised outturn being
attained. Insufficient rain has caused some de
terioration in spring crops , but despite tha dry
weather, the outlook on the whole is of a gen
erally favorable nature.
Spain Harvesting returns show great varia
tion. Some districta have fine? crops but gener
ally the harvest can be- classed bnly as moder-
Thls is , comparatively favorable, as the
early outlook was very pessimistic.
, United Kingdom Rain is needed for all
growing crop. Harvesting is under way in the
south of England. Wheat promise la very good
but oats have suffered materially from drouth in
certain sections. la.t reported , condition of
crops was much better than at this time last
year. As a result of the recent drouth it is ex
pected that the yield of barley and oats will be
slightly below the average.
Roumanian Wheat yield waa reported aa under
the average. Corn was said to be backward but
latest indications ahow the crop to be recovering.

Very share advance fa forecast, in the market
for cheese at Tillamook and Coo Bay manufac
turing centers for the immediate future.
Juti what the advance will be is not fully
known but it Is understood that Tillamook is
figuring upon a rise of either 2e or 3c a pound
over current" figure.
On account - of the great shortage of cheese
at manufacturing centers and the extreme prices
in effect t eastern points, it ia generally be
lieved that local makers will be able to maintain
the higher figure reported as due.
It cost about 80c a pound at this time to
land easteta cheese in the local trade and as the
home product 1 preferred to the outside stock
tha Oregon manufacture could he lifted to that
price and still shut the eastern stock out of the
trade.

With the French Armies in the Field
Aug. 10. (U. P.) The German com
mand is kno-wn to be considering throw
ing in the class of 1920 within the next
few weeks months ahead of time. Pris
oners declare there is a strong opposi
tion in Germany to sacrificing these
boys two years and a half before their
time, notwithstanding the desperate need
of 400,000 reinforcements, which this
class will provide. Since the losses in
curred on the Marne and Somme. calls
have been made for more replacements
than can be filled from recuperating
wounded.
