The OREGON STATESMAN, galea, Oregon, Toesday Morning, Jul r 25,1931 PAGG SEVEN IIEIPBICES ABOUT STEADY Reduction in Winter Grain Receipts has Steadying Effect on Market Domestic wheat markets re mained about unchanged during the week ending July 25, al though a sharp reduction In re ceipts of winter wheat had a steadying influence in central western' markets, according' - to the weekly grain .market review ot the United States hureau of agricultural - economics. Corn prices declined under the influ ence of beneficial rains in impor tant areas ot the corn belt, in creased' offerings ot old crop grain and low wheat prices. Oats were lower with corn. Barley and rye howerer, - held steady under good demand or the high Qual ity grain. Flax prices were fur ther ad ra need by poor crop pros pects and an actire crusher In quiry for the light receipts of old There was little' change fn the general .wheat situation. H arrest ing ot the domestic winter wheat crop Is nearing completion, but rains during the week delayed threshing in some areas of the central west. Low prices are causing increased . "storing o t wheat on farms, while prospects of lower freight rates, effective August 1, are tending to reduce country shipments. - H arresting of the new crop, began in spring wheat acres - of the northwest, where hot, dry weather . has forced maturity. Late sown wheats were seriously damaged by the drought and light yields re la prospect.' Harvesting of spring1 wheat In Canada Is expected to begin about August 1 and while benefi cial rains were received in some section they were generally too late to be of material - help to wheat. Prospects in Manitoba are tor a crop 66-70 percent ot nor mal. In Saskatchewan lees than 5 percent, and in Alberta 70-76 percvni . vi normal, according 10 trade ' reports. Harvesting is well under way in central Europe and over 17.000,000 acres had been harvested in Russia to July 16. ' Frequent rains - have delayed cutting and damaged both- qual ity and yields In both Germany and France. Dry weather, on the other hand, is hastening the ripening of winter wheat In Rus sia, and threatening damage to spring sown grains. Rains in southern and central Argentina were favorable for seeding, but wore moisture u neeaea in me pampas, a reduction of about SO percent In this season's seeding is expected by the trade. An. acre age reduction of about the same percentage Is In prospect in Aus tralia, where the department of agriculture is advising farmers i against any further expansion of .wheat area. - Dallas Band Gives Concert DALLAS.

CHEESE GAINING NEWi GORN ADVANCE IS THREE CENTS Applies Generally in West; Eggs Hold 1 Steady now PORTLAND, July 27 (AP) Further general- improvement Is reflected in the undertone of the cheese market. This not only ap plies to tbe local situation, but to the .oast and oven to . the inters mountain country, which, has. been the chief source of depres sion along he. Pacific slope.. Recent advance of lc In the selling price ot Tillamook! cheese was the first real step in the coast improvement. Cheese holdings in storage throughout the country show a very considerable decrease from a year ago- but demand to go into coolers is gaining at practically all points. In general there was no change in the. egg market situation for the week's opening. Local co-ops continue to quote 21c' for extras and "are selling at that.; Some distributors are quoting more bat are reported to be selling for leas. Strength In the live poultry market is continued generaally with the call including all lines bat greatest in heavy weight hens on. account of apparent shortage in that line. Turkeys in calL There is an extreme shortage ot chlnook salmon and especially Columbia river offerings. Crabs are in very fair supply with .qual ity generally favorable. Halibut is just about steady.
