Idaho. Au. 2S. (fecial.) -A general ehorta- of grain bags 1 re ported tn th three Northwestern tate by local grain buyer who have been sooarlng th country for bags to supply local orders. The bortago Is due to larger yields than expected and th activity of the farmers' union tn buying direct from Importer and manufacturers, which resulted In Coast job bers nd local buyer ordering only a suf ficient number of bags to accommodate regular customers. While It Is certain there will be a ma terial advance In he prioe. the problem of securing sufficient sacks to handle the crop he not been solved and farmer are clamor ing at .the warehouses for bags with which to keep their threshing machinery In mo tion. In many sections of the Inland Empire the farmer bought entirely through the farmer' unions, which orcanlzatlon award ed th contract for supplying baps to the Lowest bidder. These contracts fell to the importers and manufacturers and for a time the local grainbuyer was entireV out of the game. Upon the arrival of the union shipments and the apportionment of the freight charges, the farmers found they were paying practically the same price as asked by the local warehousemen and In addition wero -compelled to pay cash for the bags when delivered, while the ware house companies had been selling on time. The demand for sacks was mads early In the season by farmers who were not pre pared to pay the cash before the harvest and the small shipments made by tha grain companies were soon exhausted. r - PEACHES ARE'lS BETTER SCFTXY.

NEW YORK. AOs. 20. Another period of stress end storm was experienced by the stock market today. On heavy liquidation prices reacted from 8 to over 7 is points, the greatest losses being again made by the Harriman Issues and theTr affiliated stocks. I nlon Pacific sold off to 18, the lowest price In a month, while Southern Paclflo suffered correspondingly. Sentiment had become more bearish over night and the board had a fresh supply of ammunition In the way of pessimistic ru mors concerning the condition of Mr. Harri man. A large part of the day's business was In Union Pacific, that stock for all practical purposes dominating tne situation. On th way down to 201 at the opening g great many stop-loss orders were dis lodged, many more accounts Impaired and margins wers thrown over. Conservative estimate of the long sale of Union Pactflo since the beginning of the week vary from 120.OO0 to 2O0.000 shares, or one-fifth to one-quarter of the entire Jtradlng In that Issue since Monday. f Frequent attempts were made to force Union Pacific below 200. but they were un av.illing until almost the last hour, when 00 shares cam out at 190. and 600 shares at lower. These were soon followed by a. block of 2000 shares at TJnlted Sratea Steel, which relatively had been the strongest of the half-score Issues prominent In the recent rise, also reflected heavy pressure. From these low price the list had another brief respite with another low level. Union Pacific closing at 198. a break of 21 point fronr the top record price of August 16 lat. The rst of th list was In more or less disorder. Another heavy Increase In copper exports was reported. The New York, New Haven & HasLford Road submitted the result of Its operation for the fiscal year, showing a reduction of $1,700,000 In operating ex penses and j total net gain of over $a,000. 000. Returns of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit Company for the year showed a decrease of $170,000 in total earnings. The weekly statement of the Bank of Eneland waa favorable In that It reported another gain In Its proportion of reserves. to liabilities, but the exhibit or tne aa.no. of Franco gave no hint of the ease and abundance of money at the French capital. Bonds were weak with severe loeses and large transactions In speculative issues. Total sales, pat' vatne, $6,017,000. Govern ment bonds steady. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.. Closing Sales. High.

' For a time the market lacked any dsftnlte support and prices lagged. Generally clear weather In the Spring wheat country on both sides of the International ' boundary tended to depress the market. Toward the middle of the session sentiment changed to 'bullishness, mainly because of active buying by a leading elevator.

There Is much evidence to show that the outpourings of people to hear a can didate for the presidency hare no sig nificance in showing how Ihey are to vote. Slen will come to hear the candi dateof their party simply out of curi osity, and out of the common desire to Bee and hear the man who is tire candidate for so great an office, and there 13 little evidence to show that the votes of these great assemblages re affected by the speeches which are made, or even to show that 4he crowds are in any way politically friendly to tho candidates. 1 Going out of Denver one night on a Pullman car, I found the smoking: room full of those who had come to. Denver to attend the Republican welcome ti llr. Taft, and to hear him speak in the new Denver Auditorium. Niiturnlly, 1 assumed that these men must be mainly Republicans, and was much surprised to And that seven out of "nine were? Democrats, some of whom had made n 300-mile trip out of mere desire to hear the candidate of a rival .party. Tin verdict of the smoking room was Hint the candidate is misled by the appeals of the professional politicians, each of whom has a direct interest in keeping the candidate on the Jump.- FARMS FOR CITY MEN Financial Independence' for Indus trious Owner of a Few Acres. Ohio 8tate Journal. A retired Methodist minister who, i prCMlllJllA lei,,','! ' spesed himself a small farm tells us that I he cleared $1000 last year; He will do considerably better this season and next vear he has it all figured out that hta eight acres will net him tfWO. He has learned much about the business of rais ing things for market and Is qualified now "to go into It on a ratlKT extensive soale. Hie health Is entirely restored and ho finds much Joy in his new work. A telegraph operator of our acquaint ance bought four acres near Columbus a year ago and with no previous experience of country life, started a chicken farm. The salary attached to his old job mis CO a week and his earnings from eggs and broilers have averaged a little moi than that. In spite of much ill luck with his stock. He has learned a great deal about chickens In the last year and Is conndent of future success. i One hears so much about marvelous prollts from small farming, and most small , farmers seem so poor that It is hard not to be somewhat skeptical. We recite these two of several similar In stances which have come undor our own observation as Indicating that the city man who goes Into he country in tlie right spirit prepared lo employ the same intelligent industry which spoils suocens in town, is) fairly sure to get along. And It if; comparatively difficult for Senator Aldrich to do much serious damage to the man who owns five acres and knows how to work them. Crowded Out by Visitors. , Atchison Globe. The I.ysander John Appletons lived in a houso of five rooms for many years, and were so crowded that none of their kin ever expected to be Invited to visit- them. But recently Lysander John made a little extra money, and his wife had two rooms built on. "Have you heard the news?" was shouted all though Kinville. "The Appletons havo two more rooms." News like that spreads like fire In Kinville, and they began coming by twos and threes, and always with the deafest old man, loudest-voiced old woman and orossest babv they could find. This explains why Lysander John's limbs are tied in knots; he has been sleeping in a hammock for six weeks past, being crowded out of his bed by visitors from Kinville. THAVKLKUS' GlIDE.
