Wheat Climbs Steadily
For Week at Portland
There was very little irregular
ity in the steady movement of
wheat prices to higher levels dur
ing the past week, reports the Port
land Grain exchange.
The grain trade, without excep
tion, feels that prices have advanc
ed too rapidly and that caution
should be used to insure a healthy
recovery of prices, rather than a
speculative skyrocketing with a col
lapse later.
Wheat prices have doubled with
in a month at most interior points
of the Pacific Northwtst and there
has resulted a most stimulating ef
fect on general business, dispelling
to a great extent the gloom of the
past few months.
The situation locally has not
changed, as there is no opportunity
to export wheat at present levels
and current demand is pretty well
taken care of at this time. There
has been a greater tendency to sell
by the interior this week and as this
continues there will be more activ
ity and a general unlimbering of
credit and money.
Harvesting in Australia is now
in full swing and yields are report

ore than Indemnity
Your fire insurance dollar provides far more than you realize. Of
course it protects you from financial loss in case of fire. But it does so much
more that it ranks as one of the most effective dollars you spend.
Merely as indemnity, Stock Fire Insurance is one of the cheapest neces
sities. Its average rate has consistently declined for more than 20 years,
until in 1930 it reached the lowest figure in all American fire insurance
history.
STOCK FIRE INSURANCE
teaches better building practices furnishes a service for the suppression
of arson, another for the improvement of community fire defenses and
conducts many general fire prevention activities, all of which
have contributed to the reduction of fire waste and the loss
