Barley lit In Good Demand Activity In
Wheat ExikvUxI Soon.
The wheat market Is undergoing an
oft spell at the present time, and little
Is changing handtt, says the Pendleton
Tribune.' Prices are ranging about "5
cents on an average and this Is nut
what farmers feel they ought to get
and will get more before long. Wheat
hauling Is getting well under way to
the surrounding stations. A number
of cars were loaded yesterday at C'a
yuse and Mission. Cars we're sold to
be plentiful yesterduy and will be
ready for a rush when conditions Im
prove..' Barley Is more active. Good brew
ing quality la bringing about $1.20,
while Inferior grades are worth as low
as $1,10 for feeding purposes. There
Is not a very large supply of barley In
the country at the present time and
farmers who have it on hand have lit
tie difficulty in disposing ,' of their
holdings. ' '
Mill feed H so scarce that a price
can hardly be quoted. Where there
la any to be had the- top price can be
obtained. Local millers were tukiu
bran at $24 per tin, shorts $25 per
ton, and rolled barley at $27.
The cause of the long continued
scarcity In the supply of mill feed Is
the dullness In the export flour trade.

street, from which place he telephoned
to Mrs. Brlttan that he had the child
with him, and that he would be right
over to the house. But as he made
his exit from the saloon, Jesse Lleual-
len, who had been deputized by Bher
Iff Haviland, arrested him, and escort
ed hlra to the county Jail, where he Is
being held awaiting Instructions from
the Falls City authorities, on whose
orders the arrest was made.
In response to questions asked him
In the county Jail by Mrs. Brlttan last
night, Breen said that the reason he
was unable to produce the child with
in the given time Monday afternoon,
was due to the fact that he had mlsln
terpreted the signals which had been
flashed to him by members of the
horse-thieving gang who had the boy.
Later he said that If Mr. and Mrs.
Brlttan and Deputy Sheriff Butler
had romalned at Tollgate until S
o'clock, Instead of returning to Walla
Walla at 6, the child would then have
been delivered, as he returned with the
boy at that time and found the camp
deserted. He then took the child to
Fletcher's mill, where It Is being kept
for him.
That Breen has been after what
money he could secure Is evident
from the fact that a few days ago he
told Mr. and Mrs. Brlttan that before
he could deliver the boy to them, they
must pay him 50 cents per day for the
care of the toy since he had been kid
naped. The money required for this
purpose aggregated tome $285. Be
lieving thnt there was still an oppor
tunity to secure more cash, Breen evi
dently returned to the city last night
with hte Intention of securing the
money for the boy's care,, and hoped
to escape before his presence here had
been discovered.
