At the close wheat waa cent a bushel higher to M cent lower. Corn was higher. Oats H cent lower to H cent higher, and rye H-H cent higher. The market started about steady but commission house selling sent prices down. Buying by eastern brok ers brought rallies which attracted new selling and liquidation. At the lows for the day December wheat was more than 10 cents a bushel under the season's highs es tablished early this month. Statis tics offered little market inventive, the domestic visible decreasing 783, 000 bushels, while clearances from Canada continued discouraging. Stocks on passage increased. Cash market quiet and steady. Beneficial rains over the winter wheat belt were reported over the week-end, This was reflected by weakness in the July option. Corn followed action in the major cereal. Scattered commission house buying contributed to the bulges with bulk of trading In December, reflecting the strong cash position, Oats and rye were featureless. Chicago, Oct 21 (fP) Firmness de veloped in grain prices today, with sellers of wheat scarce Most wheat traders looked upon European polit ical conditions as still critical. . Opening unchanged to higher, December $1.00-01, wheat soon made some additional upturns. Corn also started unchanged to higher, December 59U-, and rose further. NO IMPORTATIONS TO GERMAN MARTS While the September report from Consul Schnnre in Hamburg, Ger many, does not extend any direct hope of opportunity for importation into Germany of any volume o Am erican dried fruit, there are several very interesting items which may have future significance and which are condensed in the following re port from the department of com merce. (1) The import control author ities have increased the ratio for barter transactions for dried apples and prunes from 1:2 to 1:2.0, that is, these transactions will hereafter per mit the importation into Germany of American dried fruit valued at only about one-third of the value of the German goods, exported to the United States in return. (2) The semi-official organiza tion, representing German buyers on one side and Yugoslav exporters on the other, has discussed the impor tation of 6,000 tons of Yugoslav prunes of the 1935 crops, of which 2,000 tons would consist of packed prunes, 2,000 tons of bag prunes, and 2,000 tons of jam prunes. Ger man packers will doubtless oppose the Importation of packed prunes in spite of the shortage. A further obtsacle for the Yugoslav exporters Is the delay in obtaining payment over the clearing agreement, a de lay which at present is about six months, and this period may be in creased by further imports. In view of threatened' currency depreciation in gold standard countries, it is questionable if the Yugoslav banks will be willing to finance prune shipments for this length of time. (3) Bulgaria and Rumania are presumed to be able to furnish about 6,000 tons of prunes for the German mnrket from the current crop, pro vided an agreement can be reached on prices. (4) Unless some change take.; place to increase imports of Am erican prunes, total German imports this season will probably be limited to 12,000 to 15.000 tons.

(Associated Press Photo) HOP TRADING QUITE ACTIVE Pacific Coast hop markets remain ed steady during the week ended Oct. 16, with trading fairly active in each of the three Coast states, according to the Weekly Hop Mark et Review of the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Continued fair to good demand from domestic buyers and light selling pressure from growers in all Coast producing areas were the principal steadying market influences. Sales by growers totaled 1,969 bales, with California producers selling 830 bales, Oregon growers disposing of 629 bales, and Washington growers 510 bales during the past week, at prices ranging from 10c to 12'i-c per pound, ne growers, for 1935 hops, price varia tion depending upon quality and district where grown. Of particular interest to the hop industry was the release during the week of the October 1, report of the Division of Crop and Livestock Esti mates regarding the 1935 production of hops in the U. S. The indicated production In the Pacific Coast states is the same as was forecast, Sept. 1 being placed at 47,080,000 pounds, or about 235,400 bales. Of this amount, the Oregon production is estimated at 123,500 bales. How ever, from this amount only about 100,000 bales were harvested, the remainder being left on the vines because of low prices, red spider or other damage and because of short age of labor. For Washington hop production Is estimated at 56,700 bales, with a large percentage of this amount left on the vines. Most of the hops grown west of the Cas cade mountains were harvested, but in the Yakima Valley trade esti mates of the number of bales harv ested range from 26,000 to 30,000 bales. Low market price, insect damage, and labor troubles were factors responsible for leaving much of the crop unharvested. Latest re ports indicate California harvested about 55,200 bales of hops this year. Oregon markets were considerably less active than during the previous week, with gowers sales totaling 629 bales during the period. ' Of this amount, 325 bales netted growers 10c, 160 bales brought lO'ic, and 134 bales netted 11c per pound to growers, for 1935 crop clusters. 10 bales of 1934 crop hops were sold durlntr the period at 6c per pound, net grower. Demand was somewhat less urgent than during the pre vious period, but Oregon growers were not pressing their hops for sale, and offerings were only about sufficient for trade requirements. This tended to maintain a steady firm market tone in Oregon mar kets during the period. , Exports of hops from the TJ. S during July totaled 134.873 lbs., and during August 54,375 lbs. bringing total for the year ending Aug. 31 to 6,772,352 lbs. compared with ex ports of 7,700.204 lbs. during ihfl previous crop year. Imports of foreign hops into the U. S. during July totaled 146,876 lbs and during Aug. 201,266 lbs. bringing the total for the crop year ending1 By PHIL NOW LAN and LT.
