Mails to Liquor Matter

Richard H. Edmonds of Baltimore,
publisher of the Manufacturers Record,
predicts that congress at this session
will pass a bill barring the mails to Ii
quor advertising matter and solicita-
tions.
In five years. or ten at the most, the
country will have national prohibition,
Mr.. Edmonds thinks. He says that pub
lie sentiment is against the liquor IN
terests, and that legislators, regardless
of their own feeling in the matter, can
not ignore the public.
Speaking of the governments esti-
mate of the value of this years cotton
crop, which was .$1,0s9, 100000, Mr.. Ed
monds declared that the value of the.
seed was not included, which would give
more than $25O,OOO,OO0 additional. Mr..
Edmonds left Monday for Birmingham
and from there he will go to Daytona,
Fla, where he will spend the winter.

Wheat Market Has Firm UndertOne

PORTLAND, Aug. Despite
the weaker tone and the lower prices
named for wheat in tne Chicago mar
ket during the carry days trading
the general worlds cereal situation is
firmer, with prices somewhat higher.
The decline in Chicago might have
been expected, in view Of the fever
ish and sensational advance of the
previous day The fact that foreign
markets are firmer and sharply high
er indicates that the situation in gem
eral is better.
Buying of wheat at interior points
Is again increasing the higher prices
acting as stimulant to the selling
movement at primary points. New
wheat is moving unusually wei. In
some Of the leading districts 81 a
bushel, or even better is being offer
ed and this is a popular price with
producers.
Flour market is firm at the advance
of 2Oc a barrel quoted during the pre-
yious day, and another advance Of
similar amount Is expected almost any
moment.
Broomhall cabled from Liverpool
that wheat was strong and excited on
the strong American cables, and fur
ther buying on the American govern
ment report Later there was pause
In the demand, owing to what is con-
sdered sensational American adj
vance. spot strong, to cd advance,
with prices nominal and buyers eau
uous. Cargo market strong Manito-
bas Is sd higher, winters 2s sd high
er,
There were purchases Of Manitobas
at the rise, but winters were nominal
Strength in Chicago and Winnipeg
and further unfayorabe reports from
spring in both belts, and the dearness
OF export offers served 10 create a
feverish condition. The government
report was bullish, but the extreme
advance should discount the damage.
India Australia and Argentine offers
larger.
Further weakness and price de-
preston is shown in the sugar trade
all along the coast Another decline
of Zoe per hundred pounds is being
quoted by refineries on all grades OF
refined sugar, the change now being
effective here.
With the beet sugar season now in
full swing in California and a lesser
demand for sugar on account Of the
closing OF the canning season by
housewives, together with the lack OF
heavy business from abroad, the trend
of the entire American sugar trade is
weaker.
The decline here for the day places
the basis for granulated in the local
market at IS flat. This is considered
very extreme price FOR this period
of the year, and some are inclined to
look for further price losses within
the immediate future.
Speculative interest in the sugar
market is naturally at low ebb. since
the market began to sag, and this only
adds to the general weakness
There was firmer tone in the
sheep and lamb trade at North Port
land during the day with a small
supply reported IN over night Good
yearlings are firmer at $6.25, and the
market for lambs is exceedingly firm
