StrPLT OF GRAIN BAGS IS SHORT.
Not Enonxh Ordered For the Rlf Xorrh-
neatern Crop.
LEWISTOM. 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.

Harriman Issues Are the Worst Suf
ferers tTnion PaciXIteS Down . 2 1
Points From Its High Mark
on the Stock Exchange.
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.

cause of the Sharp -Decline In
Prices at Liverpool, ut
Later Rallies.
CHICAGO, Aug. 26. Decided weakness pre
vailed In the wheat market during the first
part of the session, but later a firmer tone
developed and nearly all the earlier loss was
regained. At the start local traders sold

duisjt was claimed, to Increased offerings from
Russia, Improved . weather conditions In Eng
land and to favorable reports from the Cana
dian harvest fields. '
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. A hardening .of cash wheat her
and reports that offerings from farmers In
Nebraska were on the decrease were factors
In bringing out the late demand. Tho market-
closed strong, with September VtO- above
yesterday's final figures. The deferred months,
however, wero still a shade to o below the
previous close.
Corn was weak throughout the entire ses
sion, closing weak, with prices a shade higher
to 6c lower compared with yesterday.
Oats were bearlshly affected by the heaviness
of corn. The close was easy, with prices a
shade to o lower.
Provisions' were weak nearly all day. Prices
at ths close were 3H to 16o lower.

Abstract a soeelaltr.
Certificates of Title mode by the Title A
Truet Co.. 7 Chamber of Commerce.
Relation of Speeclies and Votes.
H. S. Prltchett In the Atlantic.
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.
