September Wheat
Sells Below One
Dollar in Chicago
Chicago, Aug. 15. September wheat sold
below 81 per bushel shortly after midday, and
all futures sold at the lowaat prices on the
crop. These prices era the lowest since No
vember a year ago. A steadier feeling existed
early aa the result of profit taking by short
and a little investment buying by locals who
believed a rally due. However, when the
market reached a moderate advance there waa
wheat put out largely against purchases in
Winnipeg, and as soon' sa the demand waa
filled up by these offerings prices broke
rapidly, stop-loo selling accelerating the de
cline. At 09 He for September further short
covering developed and the decline was cheeked
for the time being. Minneapolis reported cash
wheat Be lower for eld and unchanged for new,
while Kansas City cash wheat was off 3e.
Local premium were unchanged. Foreign
exchange suffered further weakness. Milling
demand for wheat waa euiet. Exporter took
180.000 bushels of wheet out of this market.
Corn reacted with wheat, but good support
waa uncovered around the previoua closing
level. There waa good buying early, largely
for short account and offerings war light.
Some long com came out on the gnarket when
wheat broke. Reports from important sections
tell of com firing because of the intense heat
and insufficient moisture, and this waa the
bull factor. Exporters took 250.000 bushels
of corn out of this market.
Oats were influenced -by the trend of corn
and local buying induced by this factor gave
n. rkt . etaadv tone. Minneapolis re-
. .aa shinnina demand for cash oats
there, and local handlers sold 100.000 bushels
to exporter. : ?:
Provisions were dult An easier tone waa
noted early, but the firmness in corn ceased
some buying later. - - '

Tentative approval was given for the use

While the loaning nowers of the war finance
Corporation were renewed this sear for onl

likely to legislate to carry the wort" beyond

Infected Fruit
Handlers to Be
Given a Jolt
Growers and dealers who continue to handle
infected fruit must expect to be prosecuted,
according to the Oregon state horticulture laws.
Rigid inspection of the markets in Multnomah
county during the past four year has not
given results as expected by the county, fruit
inspector. C. N. Walker. In "the past four
years tne rruit waa condemned end destroyed.
Present condition of the markets indicate
that this penalty is not severe enough to stop
the handling of infected fruit. It has served
to inform the dealers of the state law in
handling fruit. We feel that all g sowers and
dealers have had an opportunity to inform
themselves of the law and therefore there will
be no hesitancy in asking heavy fines.
The following is a copy ef the Oregon state
horticulture law covering the sale of infected
fruit which will be inforced:

Conditions are very unsatisfactory in the
wheat trade at the moment, foreign and do
mestic markets slike showing decided sing
rishaess. although prices are somewhat mixed.
Locally there is ao snap whatever to the
buying. Exporter are generally reported tn
tho, market for Hmlted supplies a round $1.08
per bushef, the low mark for the season to
date, although bids ss high as $1.10
encountered for club in a very limited way
Foreign sitnation appears to have gone from
bad to worse. British interests continue to
hammer values with no special desire at the

The monetary situation abroad appears to be
the big problem, slthouarh at the

is having a depiesiing effect upon country
