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.

WATCHING THE CROPS
WALL STREET UNEASY. OVER
THE WESTERN SITUATION.
Other News Is Ignored In the Stock
Market Period ; of. Easy
Money Expected. .
NEW YORK. 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. Total sales, par value
$2,123,000. I'nlted States 3s declined per

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.

FIRE ATTRACTS VOTERS
MEN" WATCHING BLAZE ALSO
SEE REGISTKATIOX SIGX.
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
lost both legs in a railroad accident
some years ago and gets around with
remarkable activity on two artificial
llmbs-
Byng, when arrested, was carrying a
revolver and a charge of carrying con
cealed weapons was placed against
him. He told the court that he carried
the revolver for self-protection, having
been threatened by Clark. . 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.
Monroe Guy was the ' top-line hit of
the bill in Judge Bennett's vaudeville
show yesterday morning and kept the
courtroom in a gate of laughter which
for a time the court made no effort to
suppress. Monroe Is a typical cotton
field negro with-an xuberantdisposi
tion. He laughed and chattered as he
told Judge Bennett that his incarcera
tion arose from the fact that he had
failed to act as a "stool-pigeon" for
the detectives.
"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.
"Yes, sah. kase If this heah man sees
me one minute afteh 6, he'll pull me in
again."

a pure malt product. It is not the

other things which has condemned
their use by the physicians" as well
