UMATILLA MARKET ACTIVE Quarter of a Million Bushels Change Hands in the County Since Sat urday Afternoon Export . Firms Operate. PENDLETON", Or., Oct. 12. (Special.) Approximately 100.000 tacks, or 223.000 buahela, of wheat hava changed hands In Umatilla County alnca last Saturday .after noon, according to the estimates made today by some of the local buyers. While It la possible that this estimate ts large, the number of sales made In that time are un doubtedly the largest made In any similar length of time thla season. The cause of the large sales Is the increase In the local market prlca of club wheat from 7T to 80 cents. Though tha Increaae was mad Saturday afternoon, the buyers, through an agreement among themselves, kept the news of the In crease quiet, making their purchases by leading the farmers to believe that each of them was being favored by an offer of 3 cents above the regular market price. The plan worked admirably and the loosening upon the part of the growers has been gen eral in every part of the county. Many of those who were holding for $1.00 could not resist the temptation to accept 3 cents per bushel more than what their neighbors were being offered. Those companies who have made the largest purchases are Kerr Gifford ft Company. Puget Sound Warehouse Company. Northwestern Warehouse Com pany. Balfour. Guthrie A Companyr and Papjific Coast Elevator Company. The local mills and tbe mill at Atbens have also made large purchases. Amng those who have sold, with the number of sacks disposed of. are: Chris. Bredlng, 700(; J. Hudeman. 2500; J. Hanscom. 4000; C. W. Orton, 1VX)0; H. J.

Henry Clews, of New York, writes of Wall street conditions as follows: Reactionary ' influences are multiplying dally. At last the cautionary signals dls plsyed In the money market are being heeded, and It Is recognized that Stock Exchange prices have bean forced to a level Veyond rea son. Every known argument In favor of higher prices has been worked to the limit; every known element of prosperity ha been more than fully discounted. Even better divi dend returns have been more than anticipated, as Is proven by the fact that when these oc cur they are usually utilized as a basis for fresh realizing. , For months past the street has been stimu lated by optimistic views and activities of all kinds; some of them genuine, some of them far from trustworthy. Much of thl so-called prosperity talk has been exaggerated and un founded. Only tn the steel trade is thero extraordinary activity and prosperity com bined. This Industry Is certainly enjoying phenomenal success; all records of production pelng far surpassed, and the best authorities agreeing that the country will witness a tre mendous demand for steel at good prices for some months to come. This Is due to the fact that the Nation's Increase In population, activity and purchasing power compels large extensions In railroad and Industrial plants. Our railroads. It will be remembered, de ferred many Improvements during the period of economy which followed the panic, and many new enterprise of an Industrial charac ter were also postponed. Just now there is an almost too violent rebound; constructive work U very active tn ail part ot the United States, and the result Is a call for large quan tities of Iron and steel In various forms. Th widening use of steel a a oonstruotlve ma terial Is also a factor of much Importance In this respect. The position of stock market bulls was somewhat weakened by the late break. It ts generally conceded that prices had been bulled to th limit, and the public seemed slow to share the load of the big speculators In spite of the belt offered In the form of Increased dividends. As stocks are still -largely held by strong men. the sttustlon can hardly be called a dangerous one, although a very con siderable liquidation In steel Issues has taken1 place. The fact that Investment buyers can not be found at the present level Is a sugges tive one and means that holder must event ually adjust themselves to Investment condi tions. These are being materially altered by the continued rise In money Stocks that looked cheap .on a 8 per cent money market lose their attractiveness when rates rise to 4 and 5 per cent. As firmer but not stringent money. Is to be expected during the balance of the year, speculation must adjust Itself to the new conditions, wJitcb means that sooner or later the natural trend of values will be towards lower prices, especially for fancy stocks and those which have over-discounted the future. Of course sharp bresks will meet with stout resfstsnce, for the bulk of flost Ing stocks 1 still held by strong Interests. This means a market of shsrp fluctuations, and one that will demand careful watching by the trader. The Investor can sfford to wait, the present situation being In his favor. Important new flotations are Imminent, hav ing been deferred for monetary reasons, and It can 'be taken for granted that the big bank ing Interests will not permit any permanent break in the market. The speculstlve situa tion may have Its disappofntmenta to large holders, and some securities may still be too high, but underlying conditions remain sotfnd and hopeful and good rallies are sure to follow sharp declines.
