WHEAT ADVANCE FAILS STOBRING SlLES'

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 2S.-The
extreme levels reached by wheat pri-
ces at Pacific Northwest points dur,
ing the week failed to bring about as
much selling as the trade here had
anticiated.
While practically every days trad
ing brought new price records for the
season TO date in the Northwest mar
kots, wheat growers are far less In.
clined TO let go Of their holdings than
when values were zoe to 25c a bushcl
lower.
This feeling seems to be general at
practically all world centers. The
higher wheat prices have scared the
less incentive there seems to be ann
ong growers 10 let go Of stocks.
In measure the Society Of Equity
has something to do with this lack
of selling, but the farmer is very
human and proposes to get about as

sible, While II is quite possible that
he may hold over the period OF price

none that can convince him that this is
the proper time to let go. II is stated
that the Society Of Equity has asked
farmers to hold their wheat for $l.G0

means the eastern farmers or not is
not known, Wheat prices are not uni

EXPORT FIGURES
ARE UNRELIABLE


WASuINGTON, Feb 9 - Whua-
sale inaccuracies in government Csc
port statistics were admitted today
by Secretary Rcdncld of the depart
ment of commerce in speech before
the chamber of commerce of the
United states. He said. however, that
by an order issued February he
had rcmcdird the situation so far as
was i'm his power and that the gross
errors of the past caused 10y refusal
of shippers TO give the government
facts and by antlquated laws, would
not be repeated.
The secretary referred to a charge
made a month ago by officials Of the
chamber of the percentage of error
i'm departmental reports was so great
il was impossible even for experts to-
estimate it; that single cargOes ruu-
ming into thousands Of dollars in
value left American ports without
being recorded, and that the pub
lished export figures for 1914 fell far
short of the actual exports. He said
this probably undcrstatcd the case.
There was but slight inacowaCy i'm

ON imports were more fully under
government control.

No matter how far you go back in
human history, or prehistory. you find
the same thing in slightly varying
forms, depending upon climate and To-
cal circumstances. The succession OF
races which spread over Europe in the
old Stone age dwelt in caverns, and un-
der projecting brows of precipices. with
the slightest barriers, or none at all,

Yet il is evident that there were fam
