Each Fall, as -soon as the -wheat harvest is well under way and the grain from tho different sections begins to come into the markets from tho field, this committee Is appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to inspect and grade and products of the country. Samples are sent to Portland from the different grain dis tricts, which are examined by the commit tee, and graded as first, second or third quality, each different kind of grain being considered separately. This -reheat is then placed in small sample bags, which are sent to the different grain markets of the world, where they can be seen and examined by the buyers. In Ibis way the grades of 'grain grown In the Northwest can be seen in New York, Chicago, Liverpool and London, and men In those cities when making purchases can tell, by referring to the samples on ex hibition at the trade centers. Just what kind of grain they are buying before seeing the shipment in bulk. The meeting this afternoon will be for or ganization. Later, when the wheat, barley and oats from the different parts of the country are .sent to the -committee, it will meet and grade the products of- the three states.

Brokers Trade Erratically ; Until! In fluenced, by Report of. Short . Yield and New Statistics. CHICAGO, Aug. 29. Foreign cables caused weakening in wheat today" at the .opening. Final quotations on December aredown 5sc, at $L06 to $L07. - For the first half hour the market was very erratic, prices fluctuating nervously. As soon as the rush of selling was ppent, however, the domestic situation again came into prominence. As it apparently showed no Improvement many traders. Ignoring the large shipments to Eu rope from other countries, became active buyers of the deferred futures. As a result the market suddenly turned strong. A report of a local crop statistician stating that the combined condition of Spring and Winter wheat is not above 70, the lowest figure ever reported, was largely instrumen tal in bringing out the active demand. On the basis of official acreage, the total crop, according to this authority, will-be little, if any, above 500.000,000 bushels. The report further states that complete threshing re turns from the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys have fallen considerably short of the expec tations entertained at the time the crop was cut. In line with this report were the figures of a Minneapolis expert placing the total crop of milling wheat at 490,000.000 bushel?. Much smaller receipts in the Southwest were an additional influence that spurred on buyers. The market continued to gain in strength, closing strong, with September at $L00. September, sold between $1.05 and $1.07 and closed with a gain of l&c at $L07. The corn market was etrong throughout the entire session in spite of lower cables. December -opened unchanged to Uc higher, at 50v461e, sold between 50 and 62Uc-and closed at- 51c September closed at 52c In sympathy with corn the oatB market was firm. December opened unchanged to c lower at 33f83c. cold up to 334e and closed at 33!&c Provisions were easier earlier In the1 day, but buying by local traders caused firmness, resulting in fair advances In all products. A moderate foreign' demand for lard, higher prices for hogs and strength of grains helped provisions prices. Trading was more active owing to prospects of a settlement of the strike. At the close October pork was up 12i4c at $11.474, lard and ribs each 15b high er at $7.07 and $7.47H respectively. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close. Sept.

Westerners Reported to Be Buying Heavily of United States SteeL NEW YORK. Aug. 29. Largely, it is be lleved. as a. result of renewed manipulated movement, today's stock market recovered to an extent from the Irregular tone manifested In the closing days of last week, and the trend of prices wan upward, a number of the more active Issues making new high records for the year. Trading at times was active. though moderate in volume, but the move ment. embraced a number of miscellaneous is sues. There were few over Sunday depart ments to account for the improved tone of the list. Much of the day's news was cal culated, If anything, to further depress prices. Erie's annual report showed a heavy decrease in net earnings, and other leading Vallway lines disappointing. As an offset to these adverse influences, however, advices from tho West indicated a steady expansion of railroad traffic, and offlclals of the granger roads, almost without exception, re ported a highly favorable outlook as a re suit of the large crop. Some commission houses reported a 6llght increase of business. London was not a fac tor, though Americans wereflfin. The day's movements began ' with fractional gains In most of the active stocks, on buying believed to be for a group of Western speculators. Gossip on the Exchange credited this group with extensive purchases of United States Steel Preferred on (reports of Improved con ditions In the lake ore trade, but observers were inclined to regard the advance as- an other drive against tne snorts. After some hesitation, in which traders seemed to be testlnrr the list for a short sale, a more defi nite buying movement set In. Brokers who were prominent in. last week a purchases of the minor Vanderbllt issues took fairly large blocks of New York. Central. After midday the tone of the .market became somewhat heavy, with a marked reduction of opera tions. The list showed general recessions and some early gains, including- that of-Steel- Pre ferred, were canceled, but the tone" at the close was firm. - There were no changes In Government bonds. and railroad bends were firm.

Two carloads of Oregon Gravensteln apples are expected this week, and . are likely to bring good prices, as -.the California stock is ecarco and brings up to $1.50 for fancy four tier. Local trade in all good fruits is more active, as the city Is fast filling with visit ors' to t&b comfhg conclave. : The important feature in the wheat market was the heavy arrival of Oregon wheat, amounting to 80,000 centals, by the steamers Elder andLoggett.

Public Land - Business Passes the High-Water Mark. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Washington, Aug-. 28. It Is the opin ion of officials of the General Land Of fice that public land business In tho United States reached the high-water mark in 1903, and has now started on a gradual decline, in tne 12 months ended June 30, 1903, there were more public land entries made in the United States than In any previous year; more lands were taken up by settlers than in any other year, and the cash receipts from the sale of public lands far ex ceeded the receipts of any previous 12 months. In 1903 there were 207,891 en tries; there were 22,650,928 acres of public lands disposed of, and thS total cash receipts from sales of public lands reached the enormous sum of $10,557, 61S. During- the fiscal year' 1904, which ended June 30 last, there , were 172,857 entries, embracing 16,258,892 acres, while the cash receipts aggregated $8,795,893. In point of cash receipts tho year 1904 stands second to the record year, though It falls Into third place In matter of both number and area of entries. The year 1902, which held all rec ords until It ltt turn was eclipsed, re corded a total of 196,251 entries, em bodying 19,372,385 acres, but tho cash receipts of that year amounted only to $5,'880,088, nearly $3,000,000 below the cash receipts of the year just closed. Decline Began in 1903. It Is laterestine to recall that as far back as 1901 it was the belief of land officials that public land business had then reached high-water mark, and would turn and go downward. To tho surprise of every one there was an in crease in 1902, and a phenomenal ad vance in 1D03. That year, however, appears to have marked the top wave, and the tide appears to have turned. So marked has been the decline In the past 12 months that nothing1 short of a boom could again bring the figures up to those of a year ago. In two or three years there will prob ably be a check In the decline of public land business, due to the fact that lands under Government irrigation projects will be settled upon, and will begin to return to the Treasury money that has been expended under the reclamation act. "When these govern ment reclaimed lands are entered It will be noted that there will probably be an,. Increase in the number of en tries as well, but it Is not contem plated that the Sopenlng up of irrigated lands will be on such a large scale as to overcome the natural decline that results from the fact that the great bulk of the desirable public lands have been settled upon, and that the area Is gradually decreasing.

Mr. Williams", In his speech notifying Mr. Davis of his nomination for the Vice-Presidency, says: "Mr. Root forgot that Democratic Presidents are never killed, and that they never die while holding office." This la a truth thus far in the history of our country, and it has puzzled tho writer many times to understand why it has been so. Take Mr. Williams' speech as a whole, analyze It thoroughly, and we find a solution of the question. It Is that Democratic Presidents are too much in harmony with nihilists and anarchists to incur their dielike, and that Whigs and Republicans have been too honest and law-abiding to assassinate a Democratic ruler, however detestable he may have been. Let it stand so; and let Repub licans thank Mr. Williams that he has given us words from which we can learn why such as Tyler, Polk, Pierce and Buchanan tho strenuous advocates of human bondage, the violators of their pledges, the workers of cor ruption In their administration of the Govern mentwere permitted to live out their natural lives and die in peace, while such as Lincoln and Garfield and McKlnley were made martyrs to the cause of pure government and righteous liberty. E. WARNER. . The Eight Largest Diamonds. Kansas City Journal. The eight largest diamonds In the world are what are known as crown jewels Some of them are in an uncut state, and others are carefully cut and finished, so that there Is a wide difference in their value. The Kohlnoor, the smallest In weight, has been thus reduced by cutting. and is much the most valuable of the lot, and has been estimated at less than $500,000. The list is as follows: The Bra- ganza, part of the Portugal jewels, weighs 1SS0 carats; Kohlnoor, belonging to the English crown, 103 carats; Star oC Bra zll, 125 carats; Regent of France, 135 car ats; Austrian Kaiser, 139 carats; Russian Czar, 193 carats: Rajah of Borneo. 367 carats. Accommodating Motorman. Boston Herald. A New HaVen motorman Is said to have run his trolley car five miles at breakneck speed Monday night for the purpose of landing one of his women passengers at a hospital, where a few minutes later she was the mother of a bouncing baby girl. This Incident recalls a somewhat similar one which occurred at Benton Harbor, Mich., some years ago, when a woman riding In a slow, old-fashioned horse drawn car gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and out of respect for the sur roundings named one of the babes 'Oscar and the other Car'line.
