SHIP SHORTAGE HITS
LUMBER BUSINESS
South American Countries
Want Oregon Lumber
But Can't Get Il

San Francisco, Oct. 5.-Stocks OF
North American lumber in South Amer
lea are running low because Of lack of
ships to carry cargoes from the Pacific
coast, according to Roger Simmons, of
Washington, d. c., government expert,
who has just returned from ten years
study of the subject of South American
lumber conditions. He is here today to
confer with lumbermen of California,
Oregon and Washington.
'The Argentine consumes half a bill
lion feet of lumber every year and
three quarters of this comes from the
United States and Canada,' he said.
"Chile and Peru, too, are in the mar
ket for huge quantities of North Am
eriean lumber
Simmons paid a tribute to South AM
erican business men as "brainy and
we'll educated and having high ethical
business standards.

DEALERS PREDICT
/. TWO DOLLAR WHEAT
BY JANUARY FIRST
Say Northwestern Farmers
Are Unit In Holding for
This Price
NORTHWEST MAY HAVE
TO IMPORT SEED WHEAT
Potatoes $l:45 a Bushel In
Chicago Against 4S Cents
Last Year

Chicago, Oct. 5.--Two dollars for
wheat was predicted by Chicago grain
men today before the first of January.
Prices today, both cash and futures,
ranged about ten cents lower than the
record price established in January,
1915, Immediately following the ont.
break of the European war.
The heavy decrease in this year IS
crop, coupled with discouraging eondi.
tions in Argentine and the demand of
the allies for available Australian and
Canadian wheat were pointed to as
factors in the present high price. II
was stated today at the board of trade
that the northwest has practically no
wheat Of seed quality, and that good
seed wheat was now selling at from
four to seven dollars n bushel.
The importation of Canadian wheat
for seed purposes is being seriously dis
cussed and agricultural experts are can
yassing the question whether or not
the Canadian wheat will be found
adapted to the United States cultiya-
ton.
Dealers in cash cheat say that the
northwestern farmers are practically
all adhering to the decision not to sell
wheat at less than $500 bushel while
the receipts of grain from other pri.
mary shipping points are extremely
light. December wheat has reached
$l.59 3-4, as against $l.06 year ago
May is $l.5S Is against $l.07 is n
year ago. Cash wheat is selling around
$l.G5 depending on the grade, while
the millers are eagerly swapping ny
all available milling wheat.
Produce Follows Wheat
As result of wheat conditions, mill
ers say, flour continues its steady rise.
Special brands were quoted today in
Chicago at 1910 barrel wholesale.
Millers say that if the wheat advance
continues, flour prices will have to
keep the pace.
Members of the board of trade today
said the present high prices could not
be blamed on speculation. They said
that were it Not for open trading on
the boards of trade, big elevator men
iohB ago Wouiu haNc corhereu tue sup
ply and wheat would have been much
higher than at present.
Produce prices are trailing close be-
hind grain. Potatoes are $l.45 a bush
cl wholesale as compared to 4S cents a
year ago. Eggs, butter, poultry and pro-
duce and other supplies are up cores
pondingly in most cases. Dealers blame
bad weather for the potato shortage
and say the hot summer damaged poui-
try and accounts for high egg prices.
With poor crops goes the heavy de-
mand Of warning countries for food
and dealers said lower prices were not
TO be expected this winter unless an
embargo is established to keep food
stuffs in this country.
