.UmatiNa Wheat
Being Sent East
for Export Trade
SLIDE IN CANAL AND SHORTAGE
or TONNAGE ON COAST ARE
THE CAUSES.

Umatilla county wheat, such of II
as is being sold is being shipped east
to New York for export This is
brought about by the temporary clos
ing of the Panama canal because OF
the slide in the Culebra cut and BY
the shortage of tonnage on the Pa
cific coast While In the past there
have been some shipments Of grain
east for the export trade, never has
there been anything like the amount
which is now going by rail to New
York, according to local grainmen.
Because OF the many steamers
leaving New York each week It Is
possible to make shipment to Eu'
rope in less than cargo lots whereas
a full cargo must be made up at Pa
cific ports The shipping Of the
grain overland by ran Is not affect
ing the price of wheat in the local
market, according to the buyers
However only clean Al wheat can be
sent this way as there are no facili-
ties for cleaning wheat in New York
such. as there are nt the Pacific
ports.
Small amounts OF Umatilla county
wheat are being sold every day now,
but there is still a considerable quan.
tity in the hands OF the farmers.
