Cohen European complications were directly re sponsible for the better anpeaxance of the wheat trade at the week end. While there Wt no new business shown for Pacific, eoeat wheat . for European loading, the imfrroTed trend of the foreign and Chicago trade cre ated a general air of hopefulness in the Pa ri lie Northwest situation - Prices here con tinue aomewh&t out of line with world's trade conditions and until adjustment is shown either by advances elsewhere or decline here, no new bnsines is possible. Exporters who sold short and chartered ships for September delivery were the only opera tors in the export market for the week. Hieh premiums were still befog paid by these in terests. Milling wheat sales are reported al though bids are not quite so high as tfee excited fisures of a week or 10 days ago. Flour market reflected a fair tone for Ori ental business, but at a further cut of 10 to 20o per barrel, while for local patent the market has been quiet. Indications point to a price around $6.50 for new crop bakers' bine stem. Millstuff showed a Weaker tone with a fnrtiier loss of $2 a ton during the week.

(Cohen The railroad companies can do -much to aid th.jttle Industry in holding Its own against most adverse trade-and financial conditions. Thy have been asked to make special rates on feeder and stocker stuff from Portland to the interior, wniie tne specuie request was mace oniy lor entry-into Central Oregon, it appears just as necessary for a croner rate to be made into other sections of Ute Portland territory. There la no denial of the seriousness of the cattle mar ket situation. Thousands of cattle are being dumped on the market and; elsewhere along the coast when the animals should be kept at home. Owing to the lack of finances of many of the cattlemen, they have found it necessary to market their immature cattle in a hurry. The result is not only a demoralization, of the selling price of cattle in the stockyards, but the likelihood of even - greater famine later in the season at country points. Low Rates a Cattle Seeded A special low rate on feeder and stocker cattle is abso lutely needexfTat this. time to save the cattle industry. It is also needed to save traffic for the railroads, it the railroads grant the lower rate on feeder stuff from Port land to interior .Pacific Northwest points, it means that they will ' receive three hauls instead of one. In ether words, so far as. the railroad lines afe concerned, they will do nraetieallv three carloads of business where' today - under existing rates they would have but one car to haul. They haul the cattle from the interior, rehaul Tt buck to the feedlots. and then later haul it back to Portland,"' 16 is a costly process, but it, means salvation to all concerned. ' The scarcity of money, and the poor condition which the cattle market has been in for some time past, has forced rapid liquidation of many producers. This liquidation has continued far beyond the period that leaders of the Industry had believed possible. This continued liquidation has' so weakened the morale of the market that many legitimate feeders have been forced to the wall. Now Hate Weald Make Better Market Establishment of a temporary low rate would develop a feeder and stocker market at Portland that would be good for the entire livestock and railroad fraternity. r - While the situation at this time is naturally most desperate in the cattle industry, still at times it would he a very, good thing to have a low rate on feeder sheep. The railroads are even more- interested in granting this low rate on feeder livestock than the producers, for the very good reason that unless the rate Is granted, the volume of shipments will decrease instead of increase. Growing traffic is what the railroads need. v - -- ... j- J K 1 . i . DAIRY PRODUCTS TONE IS BETTER Butter and Eggs Are Advanced - for Week, While Movement in Cheese Is Good.

It was written by a man in one of the Willamette valley counties, who is in position to know what he is talking about, and I quote from his letter as follows : "Our county assessor's records show that-the value of dogs in this county equals two thirds the value of hogs," and bo far as I know that county is not particularly noted for the quality of its dogs. G. A. Peirson, President Portland Union Stockyards Company. " By O. A. Peine President Portland Union Stockyards Company Rise and fall in hog production in the Pacific Northwest is fairly accurate, gauged by the receipts of live hogs at the Portland Union Stockyards. I give twlow some figures showing the number of head of live hogs received at the North Portland market by years from and including 1916, to date, and compara tive by months for the first eight months of 1922 and 1921.

Where the receipts from Oregon for the year 1916 showed 207,000 head, 1921 was only able to show 70,000 head, a drop of approximately 68 pen cent. Reference to the comparative receipts by months 1922 and 1921 shows that Oregon Is falling still farther behind, the receipts for each of the eight months this year being less than corresponding months in 1921. except the month of agalrat "oO 000 J ait year " 8 fr eisbt raoathM from Oregon this year is 40,000 Idaho la Recovering Tv,Refererc ? th t53' shows that Idaho Is recovering their ground rapidly.'

We received a request yesterday for two carloads of feeder pigs to be used in cleaning up off grade fruit and shattered grain in the southern part of the stata. Immediate shipment was asked, and with the further request to advise how many more feeder pi? we could secure for that section. As a matter of fact, we are having difficulty in assembling even two carloads. Possibly Oregon will make a better showing In the last three months of t year when hogs are being turned off the stubble fields to market Idaho Is awake to the situation, and Is stepping In and getting her share of the monev that has been passing through that state to the Dakota. It la to be. hoped that Oregon will be doing likewise shortly. Higher prices along the coast generally ia fluenced a further advance in both eggs and butter in the Portland trade for Use week. All dairy products stood in a very good poss tion. In the butter market prints showed a rise of 2 cents for the eek. Only 1 sent ad vance was shown for cubes became of the tact that previously there had been an ad ranee in that hn while prints were etatiocarT for the advances in the Pacific Northwt l iiurtng the week. San Francises made a sharp advance of 3 cents but io.it a fraction of it Ixm Angeles made a 2 cent rise, which was followed, by a similar amount at I'orUand and Seattle.

This was reflected in a good deal of scattering liquidation. Some further hed-e selling was also reported but otherwise selling was re stricted and the market derived a fairly steady undertone from bullish reports over the goods situation and a steady tone in the Southern spot markets. The presence of a tropical storm near the Island of Martinique moving westerly may have tended to slow up selling. The trade is always more or less nerroru over such storms. The market opened steady at unchanged prices to a decline of 7 points with December selling around 21.57. The market closed near the ,low of the, day with a net Joss of 7 to 15 points.

After their successes of yesterday tbe bulls were filled witn confidence. The locals bought on every reces sion and tried to enhance values, playing up the Near East situation as a bullish factor. In the near months prices held well but North west hedging pressure tended to keen the Mv delivery easy. Locals were receiving little en couragment from outsiders and some of them lost commence ana unloaded on the bulges. A good demand for export wheat was reported by local houses with sales of 120,000 bushels closed. Cash premiums were unchanged and at Winnipeg were He easier. Winnipeg market was easy in tone most ef the session and this exerted a depressing influence. Primary receipts were in excess of last year. The market closed nncnanged to He lower; September. $101 ; December. $1.01 1.01 ; May, $1.00(9 1.06 H . Corn was easy in tone, although pric changes were not marked. Trade was almost entirely local in character and the orders on the selling side were slightly in excess of tbe demand. Lower grades of cash corn were firm er. Exporters took 703,000 bushels of corn out of this market and 100,000 ishels at St Louis. Receipts continue heavy. Market closed nncnanged to He up. September, 62ie; December, 57 H 657sc: May, 60 c.

There was a little selling induced by tbe fact that the de crease in lard stocks waa leas thaa expected. Lard closed 7 H c off to 2 H e higher and ribs 2 He lower.

"... . . -i'i.h 1 11 u tcr nieir oujines8. Trade Improvement Discounted To a large extent, therefore. th advance rrora tne low points of 1921 was in the na ture of a recovery from prices that were ab normally tow to prices that were more in ac cord with actn.il values. But this recovery branched out in its subsequent stages into ao upward movement that was partly discounting improvement in general trade and partly reg istering the effect of gold inflation and the accompanyinir fall in the rat nt inrevMt For some time past it has looked a if the upward adjustment of investment bonds wss pretty weu completed. Bonds of the highest grade lika TTnied States government's and the municipals, have been brought to a 8 H & 4 per cent basis, and first class railway mort gages which a year aeo, returned 5 H 6 per cent, are telling to yield only 4 4 H . Now that trade may be looked for to absorb in creasing sums and with a cessation of the gold movement to this country, it is reason able to conclude that the decline in interest ratee has reached - its limit, and that the ad vance in investment issues based upon the fall in money rates tmiLst be somewhere near culmination. Investment Diverted to Stocks Bnt. with bonis selling where they no longer appeal tronly to the average Investot, tliero han como the familiar descent of invest ment capital into securities of inferior rank. This is one of tbe explanations for th sus tainpd upward trndency in dividend-paying railway shares and tbe better sort of industrial-. The other phase of the advancing move ment is. of course, the speculative phase. Pool and individual operators feel sure of their or edit supplies. They also know that they will be able to borrow money indefinitely on very comfortable terms. They are not reckoning upon any great trade boom be cause this cannot well occur without revival in foreign ror.mcrc and such revival still seems some distance off. These -speculative interests, however, do look forward to a period in home industry which will be one of good bttsinese vara me and fair, if moderate, profits. The upshot is that they are in no hurry to distribute tbe stocks which they are carrying, are" ready to give prompt support whenever the market slips off and ti offer their stocks In a leisurely man ner when, prices advance. Not Upset Over Europe The American security markets at no time have been in the least upset by the financial troubles of Continental Enrope. They hsve ignored the talk often heard in Wall street and outside, that the German crisis and its possible ramifications must ultimately have a serious reaction on this side. The rebuttal argument has simply been that we have no longer anything to fear from Europe dumping onr securities ginc& we are the creditor na tion. Furthermore. Wall street assert that our bu5iiie lias gi't ued to the shrinkage in the export trade and this shrinkage, due to deficient foreign baying power, is not likely to be any worse than we have seen it for the la-'.t 12 months. German Complications Igponed tt is not surprising, consequently, that the bond and stork markets should have ignored the latest complication in German reparations, namely, Germany refusal to accede to the Belgian ultimatum and deposit 100,000,000 gold marks in Belgian banks to seen re the ax month notes which it was supposed to issue to cover The remaining indemnity claim for 1922. But it is decidedly interesting that this development should have found the foreign exchangee equally indifferent Neither French franc nor German mark have been responsive to the news. This means one of two things, either that the inside banking view of the reparation muddle la that it is much lea tenon than apiiears on the surface, or else that exchange rates have become adjusted to bad new tven to the suggestion that France nd Belgium will seize upon this German refusal to insist upon occupying the coal and forest lands of the Euhr. ; NEW YORK BOND TRANSACTIONS - -i 3epprte- "vy The 3 iraal' Wall Biet Bureaw - Wall Street, Kw Tork, Sept. lfe Th deelsioa of the gorrraaaeat to raise tbe Brie of la-flag certificate was the oatstaading featare ef iaterett tn today's lvtBt sBarket.
