this year amounted to 119, 100000
bushels, compared with III, 100000 in

over last year and 100000 in excess
of the July estimates.
Washington leads in the three north
western states with a wheat yield of
100000 bushels. Oregon produced
100000 and Idaho 11,300,O00 bush
els.
Oats show an increase of 100000
bushels over year ago in the three
states.
The corn estimate is 100000 bush
els, an increase of 100000 bushels.
The corn acreage this season is less
than that of 1914, but the average
yield per acre is said to be larger.
A statement of northwest grain pro-
duction in bushels follows:
Oregon-Wheat 100000; oats, a.

New military requirements and

Income Tax Jump.
Spirits and beer, which have been

NAMED untouched by the new sched-

only being jumped 40 per cent, but
its scope widened so as to catch even

New York, Sept. 20-The proposed

underwritten by a large syndicate of
American financiers and bankers, who
services. The securities offered, it
was said, will be British and French

Munitions Question Open.

Whether munitions of war will be
included within the scope of the pro
posed credit, so far as could be learned
tonight, has not been decided.
The underwriting syndicate, it was
reported, will be the largest of its
kind ever established in the United
States and probably will be open to
all national banks, trust companies
and state banks that may care to par
ticipate.
While the amount of the commission
to be paid these banks was not ex-
pressed in percentage it is understood
the profit will be a small one, possibly
u of l per cent.
Elimination of the reported differ
ences in opinion between American
financiers and members of the Anglo
French commission over the manner
of placing the loan apparently has
resulted in a victory for the American
financiers.

Financiers Win Point.

Previous reports were that the COM
missions views were that the loan
should be placed by subscription and
that there should be no underwriting
syndicate.
The American conferees were re-

whereby a syndicate would under
write the big issue and would receive
at least y of l per cent for it's SER
vices
Efforts to elicit an expression of the

were futile The various members of

Russia Question Unsettled.


New York, Sept. 22.-Munitions of
war will not be allowed to block the
proposed big credit loan to Great Brit
ain and France. nor will the s6O0,000,-
600 or SSOO,O0O,OO0 to be obtained be
locked up at once in New York treas
uer chest, according to a consensus of
opinion today of those in close touch
with the negotiations for raising the
money.
Exports of munitions it was esti-
mated, constitute considerably less
than 25 per cent of the total value of
American shipments to Great Britain
and France. Leaving them out of the
calculations, if provision be made for
the shipment of soil products and the
chief manufactured articles, exchange
will, in the opinion of bankers, become
stabilized. 1t would not be difficult.
