movement Is not over yet. as a SCO-bal lot
a report?! Ut Bight to hivt bn ao!d
t Independence.
In Its genera! aspects. It a aHIing
rather than a buying market, but that the
position tai a steady on wi ahown br
!.. mdinHi wlih which the offerings wr
absorbed. The bulk of the veiling tu done
by a few of the larger grower -dealers.
Their wllimjrne to let go at this tins show
vast they think of the futura prospecra of
the market.
The heart buyer wa X.ouis lachmund.

Faul ft. O. liorst. If the b!g New Trk
operator a launched another bull project.
It ta certainly bln worked alone different
publicity lines than th famous campaign
mt IWtk for veryon connects! with L h
muod'a purchases thta jeer aem to have
had bta mouth sealed. It Is known tu
everyone In the trade, however, that most of
the bops sold this week bave gone to Uca
DiunU.
This Is on reason why tho dealers hava
kept th operations of the week as quiet
as poaib!e an-i another reason has been
the desire of the selling grower-dealer to
keep their business under o er until they
got saTvIr out of the woods.
Amor the latest lots purchased by
Urhmund was tMi bales belonging to Eph
Toung. of Independence, which were taken
at 13 cents. He Is also said to have bought
part of the Ilurton crorv. and a bunch from
dealers. All three bops will, without doubt,
g- abroad.
No further rranssrtions for rerulsr for
eign acooant have ben reported. The rl-prt-rs
want to buy chnper and for th time
timet uf them are auM to be out of the
game. Condition abroad are shown by
the folio ing cab! roceied yesterday by
Ktaber, Wolf Nctter. from their London
office:
"London market du'l at unchanged prices.

Jonathans Moving at $1.50 With
Many Shippers Offering at
That Price.
The dally market bulletin of the North
western Fruit Exchange follows:
Apples The market today Is somewhat

referred to a deal which we had oa wfth
a buyer at Atlanta. Oa. We are pleased
to report that we have concluded this deal
successfully, having sold car CI1Q 374 4$ from
Cash mere. 3th. containing $40 Jonathans,
74 Grimes. 13 Mcintosh K "da, at a straight
average price of $1.60 f. o. b. As this car
contain let three-tier. 274 four-tier. 17$
four and one-half-tier and 2$ five-tier ap
ple, th price on th three and one-half-tier
and four-tier Jonathans will run to
about $ 1.43 and the four and one-haif-tler
and fire-tier to $1.33 f. o. b.. which la the

f. o. b. for all grades and sisea
We have a!o sold car ON StrSl. straight
Turk Imperials, from .Cashmere, 2d. at
$1.2 straight f. 6. b. all grads and sixes.
We fled It extremely difficult to get th
prtcee on Jonathans above $1.60. as so
many shipper are offering at that price.
If there were more co-operation among
the shippers there wnnld be little difficulty,
we think, tn advancing prices on Jonathans
to $1.7. We quote from a telegram re
cel ed from one of our best customers to
day as follows:
"Are offered fancy Jonathans from same
district at $1.34 but prefer to buy from
you-"
We bad quoted thia buyer aA price of
$1.70. and we are still fighting for a
higher pric than $1 54. Our traveling men
are wiring In orders from the trade and we
are Introducing Northwestern apples In
towns and to a claea of trade which have
never heretofore handled them In car lots.
Cold storage We would like to bear im
mediately from all of our member tn re
gard to the matter ef cold storage. W
have a complete set of cold storage rates
In practically every large center tn the
Middle West and East. Reservation should
be made very soon now by those wishing to

of this exchange Is to sell promptly unless

la the time to ale Ibcs Instruction wtib us.
QUALITY IS VARIED
All Grades of Livestock on the
Local Market.
UNDERTONE IS STEADY
Fancy Calves IJft the Old Level of
iprlces, but Packers Are Not
Willing to Pay Former
Sura for Hogs.
Yesterday's offerings at the yards em
braced all classes of livestock and a good
demand developed. The quality showed wide
variety, as is Indicated by the prices paid.
Only one load of steers of medium grade
was moved and they brought $4.20. The
cows did not grade high, either, and sold
at $:: to 31. Heavy calves brought $3.73 to
$4. while a lot of fancy lelghtwelghta lifted
the quotation on that class up to $7.00.
Several loads of mutton material were put
on sale. Top wethers again command $4.23,
whole good ewea sold at $3.23. The lambs
disposed of graded medium and brought
$4.23 to $0.
In the hog market. $10.23 was as far as
the packers would go yesterday. A small
lot brought $10.20 and another load $10.
The record of the Portland' bog market
since It began to move upard a year ago,

tao weeks the fnlon Stockyards were open

Shipments Reported for the Week
Are Twice as Heavy as a "Year
Ago Stocks at Primary
Points Piling Vp.
CHICAGO. Sept. 30. There was a bear drive
at grain prices in the last few minutes today
and the market, which had been wavering for
Sims time, cloeed weak. During most ot the
day wheat was higher than yesterday, but was
unable to make any noteworthy gain. The
slight rtee was due mainly to the feet that
Liverpool quotations were not so weak as
had been expected. Buying power, however,
was not Important and ttere waa increased
selling with each advance. One reason waa
that the relative bullishness In the English
market had partly for a basis predictions of
lifrhter world's shipment, but the fact devel
oped that the total, although smaller than last
neek, would be larger than a year ago. Ar
gentine, Indian and Australian shipments were
jthown to be more than twice as heavy as at
the corresponding time 12 months previous.
Then, too, the stocks at primary points In
this country kept piling up Incessantly. De
cember ranged from 96c to 97Vic and In the
end was 96S96V4C, a net low of c.
In corn a new low record price for the aea
son was set. December fluctuated between
484c and 49?4HU;4c closing weak at 41s 4 if
4&c, a net hies of "4 tile. Tlie cash market
wss easy. No. 2 yellow closed at 52i524c.
Shorts were the only buyers of oats. Decem
ber sold from 324 to 33c and hniehed HtHsC
QlZ at 224$32'7sc.
Some firmness in provisions was followed
by liberal September short selling. The late
quotations showed pork 20c down, lard 16c
higher to 174c lower and ribs at 124c ad
vance to 10c decline.
