That an increasing number of
mills is being forced to cease oper
ations because of inability to mar
ket their product without too great
loss is Indicated In reports to the
West Coast Lumbermen's associa

27. Production for the week was
30 per cent below normal for the
week previous 22 per cent below
normal.
The mills shipped 13 per cent
less than they produced and soul
29 per cent less than they cut. In
order to equal normal production
the new business taken would have
had to be increased more than 100
per cent.
Due to an increase in both do
mestic and foreign cargo orders,
new business totalled about the
same as the previous weeK tnougn
in the rail trade exclusively it
amounted to only 906 cars as
against 1077 cars for the previous
Lweek.
A new low record for the balance
of unshipped orders in the rail
trade was reached this week, name
ly 3303 cars.
Production at 120 mills was 60,
1S7.3S2 feet. New business amount
ed to 42,719,9ti6 feet of which
9.278,751 feet was domestic cargo,
3,881,267 feel was export and
2,37ti,94S feet was for local deliv
ery. In the rail trade shipments dur
ing the week amount to 1026 cars

Salem Gruln Pries
To the Editor There seems to
be a geijeral misunderstanding lo
cally in regards to what the price
of wheat should be here.
As an illustration, some time ago
a Gerwils farmer sold some wheat
to a. Salem dealer and expected
$1.35 net per bushel net for his
wheat undoubtedly he noticed the
market quoted $1.35 in the local
papers which was quoting the
Portland ma,rket, (sacked; wheat,
Portland delivery. Undoubtedly it
would simplify things in quoting
a grain price to state if Salem or
Portland delivery also state if
bulk or sacked grain. The Gerviais
farmer undoubtedly was very much
displeased with the price received,
he undoubtedly before selling aia
not consider that the Portland
price meant sacked wheat allow
ing for freight and grade. The
gnp.de of wheat sold tested 56
pounds to the bushel making it
No. 3 wheat also containing 2 per
cent dockage in order to correct-
ly price this wheat In bulk deliv
ered to Salem
The basis to work from will be
the nearest terminal board of ex
change quotation. Portland Is Sa
lem's nearest terminal that has
in exchange on grain. All bids
posted on the exchange are made
on sacked gnain, delivered at Port
land on stated grades and weights.
There are six classes of wheat
that the exchange deals in, nurd
white, soft white, white club, hard
winter, northern spring iand red
Walla which are all eastern Ore
gon varieties. The valley varieties
are classed as soft white, the red
wheat equal to red Wfllla and our
white and red mixed wheat equal
to three cents below soft white.
The highest priced wheat is hard
white, soft white Is usually five
cents less than hard white and our
valley red wheat is three to five
cents less truan soft white.
The average valley wheat tests
from 56 to 58 pounds to the bushel
and from 2 to 6 percent Foreign
matter or grain other than wheat
known as dockage. Our red wheat
will run from 58 to 60 pounds to
the bushel with about the tttme
dockage.
The Salem market, is determin
ed by the following deductions
from the quotation on soft white
on the Portland exchange:
Sacks per bu. .07c; freight and
war tax per bu. .07725c; aeiuunt

These figure Vmd gfrade will
hold good on the average grade of
valley wheat. Applying thec de
ductions on the Clivals growers
wheat which was 20c bushel, mak
ing a net price bulk of $1.15 per
bushel in this transaction the
dockage was taken cure of in
weight.
There also seems to be some
misunderstanding about the price
of wheat on Dec. 2, s appeared
in the paper that local dealers
were not buying wheat and that I
there was practically no wheat!
shipped out from this vicinity.
Speaking for our company we are
always in the market for grain
and our quotations are dally bas
ed on Portland or terminal basis
ind our price on Dec. 2 on aver
age valley wheatv was $1.25 per
bushel bulk. In regards to the
amount of grain shipped from this
vicinity we are not in a position
to speak for other dealers but up
to date we have shipped over 65,-
000 bushels of gnain to terminal
points, we hope that hereafter the
grain dealers will not be accused
through Ignorance having a low
er market than elsewhere.
