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

hibition at the trade centers. Just what kind
of grain they are buying before seeing the

HALF BILLION BUSHELS
ESTIMATE OF TOTAL CROP STIRS
WHEAT PIT.
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:

STOCKS TREND UFWARD.
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. Total tales,

OREGON PEARS, PEACHES AND

Two Steamer Loads of Wheat From
This State Also Reach ttie San
v Francisco Market.'
SAN' FRANCISCO. Cal., Aug. 29. (Special.)
Southern Oregon fruits are- now quite a fea
ture in the local market, and sell quite
readily at fair prices, as receipts of several
California .Summer varieties are lessening.
Two 'carloads arrived from the Ashland, sec
tion today, chiefly of Crawford peaches,
which sold" on an average of 50 to 65 cents,
Eome fancy at" 75 centa and email but good
at 25 'cents. In the same consignment were
wrapped Bartlett pears In small boxes, which
brought-65 to 75 cents, and nectarines, which
sold at 75 cents for white and ?1 for red.
. 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. The market was firmer,
as a large portion of the oats are sold ahead,
and Eastern prices had a sharp advance.
. Barley closed much firmer. Other cereals
arc steady. Hay arrivals are unprecedenly
large. Ptotaoes are In liberal supply, dull
and weak. Sweets are lower, several car
loads being on the market. Onions arc-
weak.
Tomatoes again declined. Other vegetables
are weak. Fancy butter and eggs are higher.

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.
' Statistics for the Past Year.
The following table shows the area
that was entered in the several public
land states during the past fiscal year.

They Know Their Friends.
ELY, Or., Aug. 19. (To the Editor.) 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.
Opportunities, for making large
profits in wheat were never better.
