GOOD DEMAND FOR CATTLE Sheep Will Probably Show the First Decline, as the Heavy Kecelpts Are .Telling on tbe Market. The livestock market fell steadily through out yesterday without particular change In any line. A good supply was available and there was an active demand. Cattle comprised the bulk of the sales. Steers ranged in price from $5 to $5.60, and good cows from $4.85 to J 76. Light calves sold at top quotations. A single lot each of sheep end lambs were sold. No hogs were disposed of. The weekly report of General Agent D O. Lively, of the Portland Union Stock Yards Company, follows: "Receipts at this market for the last week have' been: cattle 2345, calve 93. hogs 1276, sheep 7386. horses and mules, (S3. Taken as a whole arrivals have been very liberal and the general tone of the market has been steady, to strong. "The cattle market has been steady with top steers - Quoted at $5.65. Dem&nd has been good especially for cows and the lighter butcher stun. Good cows are quoted at $4.65 to $4.85. The quality of the offerings has not been strictly first class, but any thing approaching tops has met with a ready sale. "The hog market has almost recovered from the recent depression. Strictly good quality nogs can be quoted at from t.T5 to $9.83, an advance of 10c over last week's quotations. 'Despite the Increased arrivals the sheep market has held up surprisingly well, and though today's closing will be from 10 to 15c lower than yesterday's the market may be quoted as steady. Several lots . of good lambs have brought $6.05.' while some extra good wethers brought $5.00. The heavy re ceipts are telling on the market, however, and local dealers are looking for lower prices in the near future. The Joseph Herald says 40 cars of sheep were shipped from Enterprise and Joseph last week by Oxman of Durkee, who pur chased them from Messrs. Lttch,Faulconer. Ragsdale. Boudan, Hartshornand others. He will also drive some 4500 head over the mountains, making a total shipment of near ly 17,000 sheep for which he will pay Wal lowa County growers more than $105,000. The price paid was $4.50 per head for ewes and $2.75 and $3 for young wethers. Receipts at the North Portland yards yes terday, were 204 cattle. 77 calves, 800 sheep, 67 hogs and 14 horses.

June 23 The feeling of ap prehension over the crop prospect proved the dominant influence In stocks again today and forced into the background the more cheer ful sentiment of vst riv erowintr out of 'the brightening prospect for railroad ratb Increases and Improved investment demand. The amount of rainfall officially reported left a dubious feeling regarding the reports of abundant rains which helped to send stocks upyard yesterday, and stocks started with a hesitating and uncertain movement to correspond. With the-price of wheat rul ing 2c a bushel higher than yesterday and the advance sustained during the morning, the stock market's misgivings over the state of spring wheat in several of the Northwest ern states were revived. The agreement of the Price Current and the Northwestern Mil ler in their reference to the situation, there as "critical"- for the Spring wheat crop ap pealed with force to the prevalent uneasi ness. The importance attached to the crop news obscured such happenings as the return of J. P. Morgan. A story from Paris that Mr. Morgan was bringing home a plan for re striction of copper production by joint agree ment with European producers failed to affect coppers. The additional items cleared up by Congress and the promise thus held out of an early adjournment w ere equally ignored by the market. The retention of the Bank of Kngland dis count rate occasioned some professions of disappointment from London sources. The conviction is unabated that the bank rate will come down following the meeting of the kalf yearly settlements on July 1. and a period of notable ease of money is promised to follow. Korelgn exchange rates here con tinue to fall. The placing of financing bills with London bankers is reported to 1A fol lowing on again. Ihe easing of the money market in New York is restricted to the shorter periods. The passing of the half yearly dividend on Minneapolis & St. Louis preferred, weakened the Hawley group and hurt the general list in the late trad inc. Bonds were firm.

HEAVY BUYING AT CHICAGO Lack of General Rains in the Spring - Crop States Alarms Traders in the Pit Highest Prices at the Close. CHICAGO. June 23. Fresh alarm seized the wheat traders today because general rains failed to appear in the Spring crop states. .Except in ,a few spots, the great bulk of the growing grain, in a vast belt, was without much-needed moisture. Tem peratures were again high and damage re ports came thicl$ and fast. The close was Arm and lc tolc higher. Corn finished Wc to c up and oats 0c to 1c. Provisions in the - end showed an advance of 15c to 6a c. The wheat market was an enormously strong affair and crowded the upper levels nearly the entire das-. There was a great deal of selling on the swellings, but the same interest seemed disposed to buy on the weak spots. In consequence, some of the, big sellers of yesterday were forced to cover. The opening was wild and at a much higher range than the close last night. Practically no offerings were made at the start, although bunches of buying orders were In the hands of brokers. Highest prices of the day were made in the last hour. September fluctuated between 96 c and 87c, closing 1 to 1C up to 97 to 97 c. In the face of much speculative selling, corn ranged upward, influenced by wheat and bv dry weather. September ranged from 5959c to 60c and closed at 60ijr60t4e. net advance of c. The cash market was stronger. Xo. 2 yellow closed at 60 4j 61c. Shorts in oats bid frantically for scanty offerings at the start. Later there were Indications of considerable peddling out of long oats. Price variations in the Septem ber option were between 38c and 39c, with the windup showing a net gain of c. Final figures left pork 40 to 62 c dearer. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close. July $ .97 f, .98 .96 $ .97 Sept 97 .97 .96 .97 Dec .98 .98 .97 .98 CORX.

Even With This Eleventh-Hour Boon, County Clerk and His As sistants Have Dull Day. Registration of voters at the Court house had been proceeding slowly all day, so slowly, in fact, that County Clerk Fields was compelled to lay off one of the extra deputies who are doing the work. Bbt at five minutes to 5 o'clock, when the hungry, deputies were looking forward to good suppers, voters began to swarm Into the- registration booth, until they filled it to overflowing. It was all because of a fire which dam aged a dwelling-house near the corner of Sixth and Main streets, about a block away. The crowds went to see the fire, and on returning, noticed the big cloth sign which' Mr. Fields has suspended across the sidewalk on. the Fifth-street side of the Courthouse, which reads: "Voters, Register Here." In spite of the eleventh-hour rush the registration was small yesterday, com pared with previous days, the total be ing only 314. Of these. 233 were Repub licans, 54 Democrats and 23 Prohibition ists, Socialists and Independent voters. On the same day in 1908 the registra tion was 274. The grand total of regis tered voters this year is now 6S04. Among those visiting the registration booth was James Stout, of 7114 East Fifty seccAd street, who is 91 years old. He is a Civil War veteran and a Repub lican. But the political affiliation of Stout has not affected that of his son, Charles Stout, a lawyer, who registered as a Democrat. The elder Stout was bom in Ohio, and has lived in Oregon four years. The work of the deputy clerks is not without excitement. Charles H. Dodd, of 580 First street, a dealer in farm imple ments, refused at first to tell his busi ness, tersely informing the deputy clerk, who was busy handling hundreds ot names, that he "ought to- know." "f. have been registering here for years," said Dodd, to Justify his assump tion that the deputy should know him. He was about to leave the booth without signing the books,, when Deputy Allen called him back, and he signed up. FORMER HUSBAND RELENTS Charge i Against oCouple Who Mar ried Too Soon Dismissed. Divorced in Washington last March, Libbie Clark came to Portland soon afterward and was married to Richard Byng before the statutory six months had elapsed. Her divorced husband followed on Thursday and brought charges before the District Attorney against the man and the woman. The case was called in Municipal Court yes terday, but Clark did not appear to prosecute. Instead he sent a letter, saying: "I hardly know ( what to say to you. but "by the way things have gone mnd as my wife is already married to that home-breaker, I think that lt would be better for me not to cause her more trouble, for by the looks of things she is suffering enough, and of course the judge would believe anything that a woman says. I would say one thing: I never said I would kill that man, for I never saw him in all my life. Her lawyer said she was .still my wife or I would not have come here; that is for the six months. I will go back to Spo kane and sell the house and shop. My head hurts so bad that I cannot write as I should." Clark ist a tailor at Spokane. .

He was fined $50 for carrying concealed weapons, while the complaint against htm and the woman jointly was dis missed. NEGRO ENLIVENS COURT Arrested Because He Wasn't "Stool Pigeon," Prisoner Asserts.

"This beah man," he said, pointing to Detective Craddock, who made the arrest." "told me to let him know if I saw anythln' doin' and when I didn't see nothin' he pinched roe. , "Leave town before 6 o'clock," said the Judge.
