On the Portland Merchants Exchange for the
week, i wheat bidi were erratic : and generally
sharply higher. Tbe extreme point for tbe week
was reached on Friday at 31.40 for hard white
but on Saturday So was lost. However, tbe
week dosed with net gains . of around 10c a
bushel. '-
Coarse grains followed wheat in the Upward
price ! movement and' value continued strong
until the very end. ' i , L 5
World Distribution Normal i f
matter of distribution the world's com
merce in wheat is back to normal except Rus
sia, of course, production, however, tut uct yet
returned to its prewar basis.
The L'nited State. Canada, Argentina and
Australia, tbe greatest exporting countries, ' are
at ill far above their prewar productions thougn
below ! their war yield, while Russia and central
European countries are far below ther prewar
acreage and production.
- In the Southern Hemisphere, where harvest i
from about December 1 to February 1, Australia
ia ahipping freely, having .exported 29.40U.0U0
bushels, from January 1 to April 1, 1UZ1, wnicU
u over one half .of a year's average exports,
while Argentina with a surplus of 120.000,000
budiels has exported 17,720,000 bushels. Ar
gentina's comparatively small export so far -this
season are due largely to the fact that exporters
have tried to hold buyers, liable for the super
tax and not to any defect in the marketing ma
chinery. India, which complete it harvest in
April or early May. haa a short crop aa a result
of drought, and will have no surplus for export
during Uiis fiscal year..'
j E i portable Surplus Greatly Reduced
Tbe exportable surplus from last summer's
harvest in the United States and Canada tj
been so reduced that it is now apparent thajruss
carryover in the United States on July 1 will He
hardly half of the average prewar carryover on
that date.
In i Southeastern Europe. Roumama which
now includes Bessarabia, formerly a part- of
Russia, and Transylvania, lormerly a province
of Hungary-v-as a prospective yield this season
of "hardly mora than half the prewar average fox
that territory. The indication in Greater
Roumania" are for a crop of approximately 93,-
000.00O bushels aa compared with 174.000,-
000 aa a prewar average. This big reduction la
due to a small acreage and not to crop failure.
Production in the large Importing countries.
except the United Kingdom, haa not returned
to prewar average. Neither are tbe imports of
these i countries sufficient to equa.1 the prewar
consumption. The United Kingdom is back to
normal in wheat consumption. Its import for
this year being fully up to the average of pre
war yearn. - Franco is approaching normal con
sumption, but 'will not have it prewar average
supply of 'wheat thia year. The area in wheat in
France for the harvest of this aummcr la ap
proximately 8,000,000 acres leas than the pre
war average. Importations have been heavy and
doubtless will continue so until harvest, but not
sufficiently heavy to bring the supplies up to a
prewar consumption basis.
Germanra wheat imports so far this fiscal
year ilae been approximately 75 pur cent of the
prewar average. Belgium 'a net wheat import
so fag during the present fiscal year have been
approximately one half of lta prewar net Im
ports, j
Because of the new boundanea of the coun
tries comprising Central and Southeastern Eu
rope it is impassible to make exact comparisons
of wheat acreage, production, and probable ex
port 1 for those countries. However, sufficient
information ia at hand to make It clear that
production, and exports from the crop barve&iea
thia summer, will both fail far abort of the pre
war average.
ij Overproduction Not Likely
In ! the United States, Canada, Australia and
Argentina, the great areas sown to wheat in the
war years are decreasing out are soil consider
ably above a prewar average. Yet with K.usui
out of the list of exporters, as it probably will
be for at least two years more, there can be no
greati overproduction of wheat in tbe world,
although consumption in moat of the European
countries will probably 'be somewhat below
prewar average for several year longer. It is
deiirable that there should, be some surplus in
the world to carry over from one crop year to
another in anticipation of a possible crop short
age. For example. India will not be an exporter
this season, and may be an importer, because of
the aerioua crop ahortage there.

" Portland appears to be the low point
for many farm products, values here In
many instances being below those of
other cities of the. country. , It must be
confessed that in some lines it Is im
possible to find a reason for such action
of values, the trend of prices indicating
quite clearly that manipulation i has
been i more of an aid in the making of
values than so-called' supply and de
mand. !
Take butter, for instance. Prices here hve
dropped below other points and there is appar
ently no excuse for it. The output of butter
here i not excessively liberal, but there appear
tn be a lack of incentive to hold up value.
Them is one cause for the present Townesa of
the butter price here. The Dairymen' league
has persistently underquoted the regular private
creameries end this ha naturally forced the lat
ter to meet their prices, resulting in a cycle of
price lowering that has not stopped to date.
Butter was sent to California during the, week,
but most of this shipment consisted of sweet
stock for the use of ire cream manufacturers.

j Banner Wheat Ostlook
Salem, May 7- Only enough an rah in. - to
dry out too ground and to give color, to the
grain ia now needed to insure a bumner wheat
crop for Marion county this year, according to
gram meat who haw mad a survey of the sit
uation, here withia, the past few day. Winter
wheat i aaid to be exceptionally good, but at a
stag now wnere wermta and stiashina are 1
aenoal to its proper erelopsaeat. .
Further reduction became general in ' the
price i of cheese not only at Portland and at
Tillamook, but in the East and in California.
There appears to be an overplus in the manu
facture of cheese at practically all American
centers this season and, while consumption is
unusually liberal, demand is not sufficient to
tas care of offerings as the flush production
period progresses. '
I Chicken Price Lower '
Lower prices were forced again for chickens
during . the week. While there was no : really
liberal supply of poultry offered in tbe wholesale
trade for the period, demand was lacking. Most
of the big killers appear to have a greater sup
ply of poultry than they want and thia results in
stagnation 01 buying except try tne smaller
fellows. : The latter have an insufficient volume
of trade to take care of arrivals.
: j Dressed Meat ere Slow
Market for country killed meats showed s
slow tone along Front street for tbe week, j There
was a weaker tone and slightly reduced: price
for hogs, but calves of quality were only in
moderate' supply, although considerable off -grade
stuff j came forward. Thin calves and i heavy
stuff are hard to sell. Mutton was further re
duced with a lack of appreciation among re
tailers for supplies.
J Potato Trade Ebbing
Iirin the week only a very limited Volume
of sales was shown tn the, potato districts sur
rounding Portland. Witn Caiuornia markets
down, ' due to the previous heavy purchases,
local requirements were not ot capacity to . take
care of offerings. With new crop stuff from
the south in more abundant supply and prices
gradually working lower for such stock.' it is
apparent that the big movement of old potatoes
is over: for the season, althoueh more or less
of such stock will be needed for some time.
j j New Onions Appear
New California onions of the Bermuda type
made their appearance in tbe local market dur
ing the week. This apparently seals the end
of the old season for Oregon stock, a season that
was the most disastrous known to the trade.
I Appla Demand Continues
Demand for apples continued favorable dar
ing the week. A survey of the Portland hold
ings , showed much less apples in sight here
than 1 during any recent year at tais time.
Stocks in the hands of sbinrane aeencies are
now comparatively light, although many pri
vate growers bold a liberal aggregate.

Qversupply of Wool Due to

' ' , . By Hyraan M. Cones ,
t Lack of demand -for wool, with shearing well under way, in the Pacific
Northwest, is due both to the tariff tinkering and to the overplus of wool supplies
at practically all points in the world. Wool prices abroad have today reached the
lowest levels known for many years. In fact the depression
, K ' jfc. in wool prices has Teached the point where tariff or no tariff

fool the growers. The only ones 'that; will benefit the
slightest degree from the enactment of a tariff by the United
States will be the speculators, who have filled the warehouses
of the country with foreign wools, and- the shoddy interests,
who see their business vanishing as a result of the present
congestion of wool offerings. . - -
Too Much Wool la the World
To state the situation simply, one' must write this one
fact: There is too much wool "In ' the world for current
requirements. This is not due to any overproduction of
fleece of the sheep, but to an underconsumption. Due to the
fsLct that most of the woolen mills have utilized as much.
if not more shoddy, than they have of Yirsln wool, stocks of fleece,off the, sheeps'
back have accumulated at all points. j - . .1 ., j . ' .
While the present low price of wool has naturally stimulated the demand
for. virgin fleece, still manufacturing; operations are i so limited and so . much
manufactured, goods is held-unsold, that this does the i present wool market very
little if any good. ' -
, ..Disposal of South African Wool Supply
Trade Commissioner P. J.- Stevenson reports from Johannesburg. 3buth Africa,
that the Union government has announced that the British government is willing
to purchase up to 100,000 bales of last season's wool clip, the schedule of prtoes
for the various grades to bethe schedule of the 1913-14 prices used for the 1917
scheme during the war. Heiwever, the 55 per cent addition given in 1917 in not
included. It is agreed that 60 per cent of any- profit realized on the resale of the
wool by the British government will be credited to the Union government for the
account of the sellers. ' The arrangements for valuation and payment and the
other general features will be the same as those adopted in 1917. The Imperial
government will not make cash payments, but the cash expenditures of the Union
will be deducted from their indebtedness to the British government.
The Union government is investigating proposals looking to the disposal of
the new clip which is recognized as being of far more importance) than the disposal
of 100,000 bales of the old clip. Tire value of the present plan lies in the fact that
it will serve to release the "frozen credits" that are locking up! capital of banks,
brokers and merchants which is needed to finance the current business of the
country. . i t

By J. B. WIUob
Secretary Wyoming Wool Growers' Association
and a governor of tbe National Sheep and
i Wool Bureau of America.
More than a tariff measure is need
ed to afford the wool growers adequate
protection. We need to have the French
Capper truth in fabric bill enacted and
need it in a hurry. Why. I have sold
wool for' lOVic a pound, when the tariff
was 11c a pound, and I have heard of
other wool growers who sold for even
less. No tarifr will prqtect the wool
grower froin the secret competition of
shoddy re-worked rags.. Shoddy must
be Identified by labeling, so that the
people will know what they are buying
and may choose between shoddy and
virgin wool.
The truth in fabric bill.- which has recently
been re-introduced by Congressman French and
Senator Capper, will compel textile manufac
turers to label their "all wool" cloth with its
content of virgin wool and of shoddy and will
force the shoddy venders out into the open. A
mere mis-branding bill, such as the Rogers bill.
would only prevent mis-branding, it would not
compel branding in the first place. It would al
low the shoddy vender to keep on hiding Derama
the misunderstood term, "all wool." j
Wool' Industry l Pern ? j
On account of the immense accumulations of
wools, the situation of American wool growers is
the worst in the history of 'the country. The
stockyards report a big liquidation of flocks by
sheepmen who can no longer afford to hang on
till better times. Thousands of eheep have been
sacrificed since , the department of agriculture
estimated that the number in America on Janu
ary 1 was 45.067.000 less than one sheep
for each two citizens. In Wyoming, alone, more
than half a million sheep ;havo gone since that
estimate was made. It jrill take years to get
American sheep husbandry back into good shape,
even with the aid of legislation.
Fully 70 per cent or 75 per cent of the 1920
wool clip is still unsold and the 1921 clip has
got under way with no prospect of a market
whatever. The wool growers anhot expect to
raise as much money on the 1921 clip as they
did on the 1920 clip, though their need is even
more pressing than it was last year. Western
ers cannot possibly sell their clips for the 'cost
of production. ! The tariff board treed that
their 1919 clip cost them more than 45o. a
pound to raise and their 1920 clip cost .dearer.
The 1921 dip' cost them leas because "of the
open winter and the lower cost of labor, but only
a few cents a pound.
, Public Wants Protection
Tb people, I have had opportunities to dis
cover, want the truth -a fabric bin passed, be
cause they want to know what they are getting
when they buy cloth. The shoddy manufacturer
cannot ward off the enactment indefinitely. As
I have traveled about the country I had the in
sistence of the general public for truth in
fabric legislation brought to my attention on
many occairiong. - '
Walla Walla Is
Looking for Big !
Crops of Fruit
Walla Wallg, Wh., Msy 7. Indications
foe. the fruit crop in the Walla Walla valley
are for a bumper crop. Thia is the report
made by 3. It. Wiley, district horticulturist,
and oi.o of the leading orcbardists of this
section. ,
Wiley and the orchardists point out that the
crop failure in the Middle Wt and other
sections of the country will bring hlgn prices
for the growers here and add that the fact
that small apples of the 1920 crop are now
bringing aa high a 1.25 a bov is n nvticn
tion that the frost damage to the other fruit
sections of the , country is already having au
enlivening effect on the market.
Danger from frost in the Walla Walls valley
is now believed past by the -growers here, the
Luton date of a ''killing frost in this section be
ing April 28. The fruit is well set and while
the early crop has not yet started, it ia be
lieved that orchardisU in general throughout the
valley will find it necessary to thin thear crops
considerably. Varieties that are expected to
yield bumner crop, are Wineaaps. Jonathans,
Newton.- Pippins and Delicious.
Concerning the outlook here John W. Lang
den, manager of an orchard of nearly 60O acre,
says, "Indications for the heaviest crop in our
listory were never - better. The fruit has- act
heavily, and we alio look for top notch prices,
equal if not better than those of last year.
"Of course, transportation rates wiU enter
into this feature of marketing the crop, but
we believe that we will get relief from the
existing excessive rates. The hearings which
have been scheduled for the western cities this
month may result in a reduction ia piices."

The Wool Market;
Territory Moving
Boston. Mass., May 7. - Territory wools
have begun to move a little in the West Tbe
market interest of the week has centered around
this circumstance. Several small clips have
been taken by Eastern houses at a fraction of
the prices paid last year.:
Now that the emergency tariff bill has been
made the unfinished business in the senate, the
friends of the measure are feeling - encouraged
though, complaining that the senators ia favor
of it appear to be asleep.;
Boston wool men are pointing out the neces
sity for some legislation of the kind in advance
of the permanent tariff bill, in order to pre
vent a flood of foreign wool and top. " In this
connection they cite the case of the big cargo
of Punta Arenas wool recently landed at thia
port. ,
In spite of . the cautious policy of mill,
especially the smaller one, a ooniiderabV volume
of wool has been moved recently. The mill
taking appear to be in Oregon. '
Price renuin on about the level -recently
quoted, especially the territory wool. :
Really choice wools are i relatively scarce, but
fine staple lots are quotable at about 85 cento.
Half blood staple sells around 70 cents.
Receipts for the -week were: Domestic,
1.386,300 pounds; foreign. 8,807.960 pound.
