Csnyon. on the (X R. N. Spokane branch
In Whitman County. Other cart of new -wheat
have been received b7 the Pacific Coast Ele
vator Company, M. H. Houser and the W. A.
Gordon Company. About a dozen cars ars
now In transit from the Interior to tha Port
land market, and from this time on the
movement will steadily Incraaae.
The wheat market Is not yet aetrrs-
While tha buylnc In the aoresate has been
oonsSdsrabls. It has been divided up among
av larwa Bomber of millers, eat porters and In
'tsrlor marohants, none of them securing
very largs qnantltlea The leadmg buyers
'have been Inclined to hold aloof In view of
tha uncertainty of the market, but there 1
more disposition shown now to operate, al
though lower prices are being talked off.
The farmers, as a class, are holding back,
many of them having their Ideas fixed on
the dollar basla Of ths few that have sold
- already, soma of them needed the money
jand others lot go becanss they thought ths
pries offered a good one.
The tone of the market yesterday was
weak. The Eastern markets were off. and
while there was soms gain In Liverpool
i options, the cargo markat was no bettor.
Quotations In the local market were Vt cents
for club and $1.02 for bluestem.
Oats and barley were weak. Tha latter
cereal la now coming forward freely, and
f 26-50 Is quoted as-an outside plica. There
la very little disposition to take bold of nsw
oats. In view of the excellent prospects for
a big crop. The best price offered for the
new crop Is (28.80. A very email quantity
of old oats remains, and holders of such are
firm.

Heavy Receipt From the South and Near
by Sections.
Front street was again heavily stocked
with fruit, but there was a brisk demand
for most varieties. Prices generally held
steady. The season for cherries and all ber
ries except blackberries Is almost at an end.
Three cars of bananas wars among yester
day's receipts.
Ths market la badly ovsrstocksd with to
matoes, and poor lota go at any prfoa. Po
tatoes are also In oversupply, and vary
weak.
Tha California Fruit Distributor says of
the movement of deciduous fruits In ths
past week:
plums and Prunes, 10ft cars The plum
movement will be considerably lighter from
this time on. Shipments during this last
week have averaged about 15 oars per day,
and probably will not exceed this quantity
any time during the season. The earlier
ssctlons are now cleaning up their plum
crop, and shipments consist almost entirely
of Splendor, Imperial. Diamond. Grand
Duke. Giant ana Gros prunes.
Peaches. 16 oars Peaches ara In liberal
receipt, and will so eontlnus for the next
two or three weeks. Ths quality generally
averages ery good. LsUe Crawford and El
bert, ara now available for shipment, and
Susquehannas will be offered next week.
The peach movement last week would have
been muoh heavier except for tha car short
age, which curtained shipment considerably.
pears. 88T cars Ths heavier movement of
Bartlett pears Is past. Sacramsnto River
will finish Its heavy shipments this week:
8ulsun Is shipping liberally, and . will con
tinue to do so for ths next two weeka
Heavy winds bar, done soma damage by
blowing off fruit, and ranners ars In ths
market for their supplies at good prices.
This will havs ths effect of curtailing ship
ments. Quality of tha fruit was never
better.
Grapes, S cars Carloads of grapes havs
begun to go forward. These are principally
from the Fresno district, and so far prac
tically nothing but Thompson Seedlees have
been moved. Fontalnbleau, Rosa de Peru
and a few Tokays are moving from the ear
lier sections. The quantity Is not large,
however, and It will be at least two weeks
before any considerable quantity of Tokays
win ba avallabls.
JTSEP IX KXOUBH HOP MAKKET.

Still Bad.
Thsrs was some trading In tha sew crop
of hops yssterday, but ths Interested parties
kept ths details to themselvea Offers of

Another Egyptian Woader.
Baltimore News.
Another wonder of ancient Egypt ha
been uncovered by the hand of Profes
sor Flinders Petrie, who. during his
work of trie last year at Memphis, dis
covered the palace of King; Aprles, the
Pharaoh-Hophra of the Bible and the
contemporary of Jeremiah, B. C. 629
588. Tha details of the palace show It to
have been very Impressive, with a
length of 400 feet and breadth of 200
feet, painted columns 40 feet high and
the middle court 100 feet square.
The approach to the palace led up
through a large mass of buildings to a
platform at a height of about 60 feet
above the plain. In the ruins a scale
armor, hitherto rarely found In Egypt,
was discovered. Good bronze figures of
gods were also found. What Professor
Petrie described as the one. supreme
piece was a fitting of a palanquin of
solid sliver, a pound In weight, deco
rated with a bust of Hather, with a
gold face of the finest workmanship
of the line of Apries the Great.
A gateway and immense walls de
scending deep into the mound indicated
that there lay ruins of successive pal
aces built one over the other. v
Professor Petrie expects within a
few years to have discovered the ear
liest records of the Egyptian kingdom.
Use of Flour In CJhlna.
Baltimore Sun.
Tha use of flour upon a large scale
as the food of the Chinese, depends
upon Its price as compared with rice.
tvith rice cheaper than flour for the
same' food value, the Chinese prefer
rice. It is, therefore, motives of economy
and not preference for flour that lead
to Us consumption.

teen, even twenty plows trail the
powerful engine as It moves deliber
ately across the prairie. Horses can
not work 24 hours a day, but Iron and
steel need no rest. Men can take rest
by working in shifts.
Take out your watch and see how
long it takes the outfit to overturn
an acre of sod. It should not exoeed
ten minutes. To plow the same amount
of ground the old-fashioned single
plow and the out-of-date team of
horses must travel six or seven miles,
according to the width of the plow. A
few days ago Thomas Mitchell, driv
ing two rigs of 18 plows each, broke
a full quarter section In three hours
over two days.
If the owner of the land is In a par
ticular hurry to get in his crops he
will hitch seeders behind the plows and
harrows behind the seeders, and 'when
the traction engine has made the dis
tance he need do no more with his
crop uncil he drives Into it with his
binder. . .
In Lyman County it Is estimated that
at least a hundred steam and gasoline
plowing outfits are at work and there
are not less than SO In Faulk County.
In the state not less than a thousand
of these steam power rigs have been
making their way back and forth
acrosshe prairie land. This Is equiva
lent to saying that they are producing
25 000 acres of plowed land every day.
Today the man who buys virgin soil
In Faulk or In a similar .county doesn't
move on his land and bring a meager
outfit of horses and machinery with
which to till It. He stays on the old
farm further east or In his town house
and hires the owner of a steam plow to
break his land, seed It with flax and
harrow It.
Flax nets the seller an average of 1
a bushel and it yields about 15 bushels
to the acre as a rule. 'That means a
gross revenue of $15 an acre. The man
who dooa the plowing charges 3.60 an
acre, making for himself about 90
a day as long as the season lasts. Other
expenses should not exceed 3.60 an
acre, so that the owner pretty sure to
realize $8 an acre from his land with
out moving on it or investing a dollar
In buildings or machinery or live stock.
Flax Is the usual first-year crop.

Broker Wellington frowned. The girl
had taken his dictation slowly. And in a
stern, skeptical voice( he said: "How
soT"
"It's your new vocabulary that puts me
out," she explained. "I had Mr. Meer's
vocabulary very pat 'as per.' 'contents
noted.' 'Ihe same' he only used about
800 words."
Her flattering smile warmed ths man
like a sunbeam. ...
"But you, sir, have a real literary style.
Beg to submit," 'our best attention,'
slump," "bullish," -hypothecate,' they're
all new words to me, and, of course, I
can't rattle them oft very fast at first.
But Just you wait. Say till day after to
morrow. Then you'll see."
"All business men have different vo
cabularies that their stenographers must
get accustomed to, eh?" said the broker.
"'Tea, sir. Some large, some small.""
Again her smile flattered him. "Yours
is larger than most. I should say it was

Millions From Hanter. ..
Outing.
A deer In the bush is., worth more than
a deer lri hand, for the live deer attracts
the tourists and the sportsmen, who leave
money behind, money found beoause it
cost tha state nothing.
This Is borne out by Germany, where
600,000 people yearly pay for hunting In
the forests. The returns from hunting
licenses and rentals amount to $82,500,000
yearly for Germany. Germany Is ahead
of the United States In this respect. Only
one state approaches Germany In revenues
from hunting and tourists. Maine's 250,000
tourists yearly leave 26,000,000 behind
them. Alabama collects yearly $25,000 in
hunter's fees.
