This is demonstrated every day. I have sold 14 homes since July 1st, and have several customes who are just waiting to find something that just exactly suits them. - I have several homes in South La Grande that are close to Fourth street that has just been paved and will Increase values in that section of the city. South La Grande is one of the most pleasant residence sections of our city in which - to live. Prices are very low compared to what they will be two years hence Remember this last statement. VERY EASY TERMS. I have property in every section of the city that I can offer as low at $100 down and small monthly payments on the bal ance. There are many who are paying $25 and more each month for rent that should investigate my listings. , J , , ' - - ' jj MARKETS L0CU- wp state; HAH SELL WHEAT EARLY MARKET QUOTATIONS.' PLLL Ujj UI M0TT0I1 QUIET FIFTY THOUSAND OFFERED ONE WEEK. IN Price Tops at 70 Cents for Blue Stem .. at Warehouses. Fifty thousand bushels of wheat have been sold' during the past few days to warehouses at Imbler, Con- ley's Spur and Union and small quan titiies at Island City. This is a strong commencement of sales for the year a crop but was largely brought about because of the rains that made thresh ing impossible for a few days and the growers started to haul. ' During the selling period the supply on hand was exhausted because the machines were temporarily idle and then commenced the threshing again. . Good Prices PrevaiL Wheat opened just about as was predicted in the Observer several weeks ago. Sixty-five to 66c is the price paid by the Kiddles of Island City for club, 66 to 67c for Forty Fold and Bluestem brings from 69 to 70c. These prices cover slight fluctuations daily and all sales made thus far have come within range of these figures. , GeOv'"'H.r;:iGurrey He Who' Sens' Iet realestatIe ! Fresh ranch eggs 3oc.

The spring fry supply now keeps up fairly well here at prices that are not far off from the quota tions of 10 days ago. , In the cattle division traffic at the Portland yards yesterday was confin ed to small lots, of poor to medium ;a grade steers and bulls. Dealers held that the prices paid did not necessar . ily indicate any weakening in the mar ket and expressed the belief that the steers like those moved at f 8.85 yes terday, had threre been any in sight, could have "been disposed of at that flfirfe. . Quality beef material now U the exception rather than the rule.' '. This condition obtains more or Jess also in the mutton section. , One lot of 45 hogs carried over from the day before , and. grading consider aby short of primechanged hands at $7.10.
