0OLLAR WHEAT. IS 0T FAB OFF,

General It view of the Market Siluu.
llon at Large.
The country at large seems to lie
atlsfled that the situation In wheat
baa the kind of bottom that won t
leak and that the prlre is high and
.' going higher aa the result of the laws
of supply anil demand. This is meet
Ing the briskest kind of buying by
the merchants In the Interior, espe
clallyclally the millers. Tbey are buy
ing at figures that are not given at
tidewater and the outlook that all
markets of the world will realize dol
lar wheat In a very short time. Lon
don and South American markets are
strong and have been In spite of the
oncoming crop In the great wheal
growing belts of the 8011th American
republics. The fact of the matter Ih
that there Is pot much wheat In the
bands of the producers, and the price
la bound to be hlKh until the mining
season. If the crop should be dam
aged It would resuls'ln prices much
beyond the fore anting of the hen!
experts In the wheat business. All
millers continue to lay In goodly sup
plies of wheat, and the shippers to
foreign countries are forced to keep
the price up In order to realize any
thing at all.
Eastern .Markets Compete With West.
The reason why the Portland mar-
kot In the past week was lower than
all of the others In the I'nltcd StaieH
Is given out to be that the Chicago
product Is on the Portland market at
the same price as the home product.
Now the cost of meats In the Chi
cago market plus the cost of shipping
to the cotmt ought to make meat much
more expensive, but the price Is ex
actly the same for the, home product
as It Is for the eastern meats.- This
bas hurt the western trade and unless
there Is some kind of agreement be
tween the growers of live stock In the
west w'th the packers and the buyers
In Portland the outlook la not the best.
Just how the eastern men can compete
with the western markets Is to bo ex
plained. The Chicago nnd the Kansas
City markets have hern Just a tilde
lower than the Portland mnrfcet but
tho difference Is not enruich to enable
them after paying the freight to com
pete with the home grown product.
Vegetables Scarce.
Tho vegetnble market In La Grande
Is Just now beginning to lee I tlie ef
fects of the frost In the California
country. Celery is coming vqrjr slowly
and the quality Is so poor that It Is
hardly saleable. The shipment from
Portland by some of the merchants
have been discontinued. Walla Walla
continues to offer pretty fair stock and
all attention Is directed to that source
of supply.
Lemons $SJ0 Ier Box.
It looks as if the lemon trade I
going to be the stlffcst In many a year
Never before has the crop been ruined
to the same extent or the price gone
to such prohibitive figures. Oranges
are beginning to thin out and we will
soon be at the end of the supply and
then this dainty fruit will belong to
the luxuries.

TIME WAS
When There Was An Excuse For
using kerosene lamps. People thought, and
rightly too, that electric lights were beyond the
AMI UiO Ml 1,11.
Many people who really want electric lights,
but who are unfamiliar with the progress in
electric lighting within the past few years, still
hold to this belief.
If you are one of these, you will be agreeably
surprised to learn that electric lights are now
within the means of every family in 11 (irande.
"We are prepared to demonstrate to the most
skeptical, that they are the most economical
light to use.
