DEALERS BUY GRAIN
ON COAST BASIS
One Per Cent Commission Charged
by Local Buyers-Barley and
Oats Change Hands

With only one exception all the
Pullman grain buyers are entirely
out of the wheat market so far as
local figures are concerned, buying
only on Coast terminal basis,
charging one per cent for commits
sion and six per cent interest on
:, money advanced on the crop until
final returns are made. One local
buyer, William Chambers, has pur-
chased wheat On a local basis, how
ever, paying cash to the farmer. Hc
has taken $4,000 bushels of wheat
since Coast terminal price was es-
taplshed as well as approximately
$4,000 sacks OF barley. The wheat
prices averaged close to the 50 mark
No. l wheat of the higher grades
and close to $40 for red wheat.
Buyers who are taking wheat only
on Coast terminal basis offer the
Following quotations, all being on
basis of No. l wheat, sacked, at
Portland. Ore:
Marquis wheat .S2.09

Inc farmer who sells at these prices
must pay freight to Portland, which
amounts to " cents per bushel, as
well as "a cents warehouses charges
and the dealers commission of one
per cent, total of approximately IA
GENTS which must be deducted from
Tue Coast prices. The buyers will
advance $3.50 per bushel on wheat
purchased on this basis, charging the
farmer six per cent interest on the
money so paid until final settlement
is made.
All the local buyers are in the

BIC RETREAT On
.SOMME FRONT IS
NOW IN PROGRESS

NEW YORK, March 14.-(Compiled
by the Associated Press from European
cables received during the day. AN
other great retreat by the Germans on
the Somme front is in progress, and
the consequent advance has brought
British troops to the ridge west OF
Bapaume, where the Germans aband-
oned their main defensive works along
a front of three and half miles. The
speedy fall of Bapaume now seems
extremely probable.
German military writer's who an
nounce the move, see in Won Hinden-
berg's retreat a strategic movement,
designed to draw the British forces
irto open fighting, much as he did with
the Russians in East Prussia. Paris
writer's, however, say if the move was
begun to disconcert the British it has
been frustrated by the British tactics.
The British since the beginning have
forced the Germans to continue their
withdrawal by following with superior
artillery. instead of going after them
with cavalry, this being acclaimed a
distinct departure from tactics pur-
sued in other wars where heavy artil-
lery played no such prominent part ds
has featured fighting in France and
Belgium, as well as the other war
fronts of Europe since Germany be-
gan the historic march toward Paris n
May, 1914.
The only other fighting of conse-
uuence reported in the west today is
that referred to Paris dispatches re-
porting the capture of Romeinville
farm in the St Mihiel salient by the
French.
News dispatches from the far east
say the Turks in Mesopotamia con-
tinue retreating west of Bagdad, the
British pushing up the Tigris in close
pursuit of the enemy.
