Wfc are quite sure that there wIH be but few M-e chicks In the city when Saturday night comes around. We think that there will be a fair demand the coming week for good hens and good large Seringa, and that shippers will be safe in shipping moderately. If shippers will watch th market reports they will find that all the chicks In the country can be marketed at good prices there are none too many alt will be wanted if the market Is not 'flooded. Good large turkeya have been scarce this past week, and we have not been able to fill all orders on the same. We hope that w will have a good many of them thin coming week, large fat ones.

JACOB, WEINHARD BUYS IT Only About One-Eighth or the Crop of Columbia County, Washing ton, Now Held by Farm ers Market Strong. DAYTON". Wash.. Oct. 26. Within the last few days hundreds of thousands of buohels of barley have been sold In Columbia County. Not more than one-eighth of tho crop Is now held by the farmers, and this la largely due- to organization among the growers them selves. At Turner and Whetstone all the barley Is In the warehouses and owned by the buyers. Comparatively little Is now heM by the farm ers at Dayton. Alto or Huntsrllle. Thos five depots are the principal storage points In the county. Of the 400.000 sacks stored. 50.000 sacks remain unsold. A month and a half ago the outlook was discouraging. Barley then sold at 75 cents cental, and the farmera formed a pool to mop the downward tendency. The pool was a loose organization, and pessimists said that It would accomplish nothing. Although weak ened by the withdrawal of members. It ha at last succeeded In getting. 00 cents a cental for its barley. Yesterday it sokl. through Jacob Welnhard. of Dayton, to a buyer whose name was withheld. 110,000 jacks at that figure. The resultant flurry in the market has pro duced a decided upward tendency. Barly was Hold from SSft cents to 00 cents a cental yesterday: the market was strong at' 00 cents, and Corbett Brothers reported large purchases at that price. Within a few days, at 85 cents a cental. A. P. Cahlll bought 10,000 sacks of barley from different" farmers: Corbett Brothers, 35.000 socka. from the Hopklnfl Brothers, and the Kerr. Gifford Company, 1800 tons, from Alexander and George Price. The last two re ceived $30,543. said to be the largest sum ever received by a farmer for a grain crop in this county. These purchases ranged around 65 centa a cental f. o. b. C. J. Broughton. the wealthiest man In the county, now has the largest holdings of barley at Dayton. He recently sold 1000 tons. The Seattle Brewing & Malting Company had a buyer here for two monthn, but it did not buy much barley, as it inclined to bear the market. Its buyer, however, reported largo purchase. elsewhere. A few farmers are holding their barley for more than 90 cents a cental. The wheat crop of the county In practically all sold. 5T0GK MARKET HEAVY STIIjD FEELS THE EFFECT OF WEDNESDAY'S PRICE BREAK. London Selling on Account or Rus sian Disturbance Conservatism Toward 31etal Industrials. XEW YORK, Oct. 20. The stock market today showed the chilling effect on rentlment of the sharp break in prices which developed late yesterday. There were occasional isolated points of strength, but they were not effective at any time as an offset to the generally he'avy tone. Weakness In the general list was not acute, but there were some con picuous declines as well as advances. The coalers made -a further demonstration of strength, but the movement showed signs of over extension and lost Its force In the ab sence of any development to explain It. The growing disposition to exercise more discrim ination in the operations to advance industrial stocks was encouraged by the Incident of the passing of the dividend on American Hide & Leather, preferred, as well as by the poor showing of earnings reported yesterday by the Corn Products Company. A spirit of great conservatism was mani fested toward the Iron and steel railroad equipment Industrials. An Incitement to this spirit was the admonitory tone of the Cleve land Iron Trade Review of a "real peril In the present tendency to advance price-V The president of one of the principal car-construction companies alto came forward with a flat assertion for publication that the de mand for car equipment was being "exagger ated and was calculated to do damage by stim ulating a rise in the price of materials." London was a seller to a notable extent In this market, principally on account of the uneasiness excited by the upheaval In Russia. The same influence was a factor in the whoat market, owing to the obstruction promised to the movement of the Russian cereal crops. The progress of the settlement on the stock exchange In London held up the rate for call money there. The easy tone of money was maintained in this market, but sterling exchange made a further advance and expecta tion grew ot an early announcement of gold exports. With the subsidence of the mid monthly tide of pension payments, the Sub Treasury has also commenced again to with draw cash from the New Yoric money market. These developments caused some apprehension of a renewal of money stringency at the period of Uve monthly settlement. The pressure on the stock market gathered force and the clos !nr was weak at the lowest. Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value. S2.435.000. United States bonds were all unchanged on call.
