Total receipts of Pacific Northwestern Uheat at tidewater markets since the sea son opened hav been 3.317.550 bushels. Portland's share of this was greater than Seattle's or Tacoma's. as shown by the fol lowing table, and It is likely the same pro portion will continue throughout the sea son, as greater preparations have been made by exporters here. - The receipts at the coast ports for the season to dato have been; Bushels.

STEEL "TENDING- UPWARD Politics Given S the Cause Tor the Depression of the Railroad Group Market Closes Dull but Firm. NEW YOP.K. Aug. 26. The week on the stock exchange opened with a continuance of the conditions which characterised the mar ket during the oast fortnight, namely, strength and activity In the metal shares. Amalgamated Copper sold at Its best price of the year and affiliated stocks advanced to better quotations, while United States Steel displayed a firmer tendency. Concur rent with the further prominence of these Issues were announcements of higher prices for copper by producers, an increased for eign ilemand for the metal and $1 advance In wire products. Politics was assigned as the primary cause for the heaviness of the railroad group, which was most pronounced in tne Pacifies and some grangers. Canadian Pacific opened with some show of strength today, but soon yielded all its rise and more. Union Pacific and Southern Pacific were plainly under restraint, with indications of pressure against St. Paul and the Hill stocks. Atchison made response to Its slateirient of July earnings. which showed a net gain In excess of t.loO.OOO. Tradlnv In the last two hours was robbed of all significance by reason of its extreme idltncss, but prices wero disposed to harden to the pctnt where some early losses were partly recovered.

CROP DAMAGE IN EUROPE Promise of a Large Movement From the Northwestern States Gives the Market at Chicago an Easy Tone. CHICAGO, Aug. 26. Promise or larger shipments from the harvest fields in the ITnkotas and Minnesota caused the wheat market todav to havo an easy tone. Although sentiment In the wheat pit had a distinctly bearish cast, selling pressure seemed to be k-ld in check. The chief rea son was fear of frost tonight In the Cana dian Northwest. But the weather this side of the international boundary line was fine, improving the conditions for threshers, and leading to predictions of a heavier movement to terminal markets. After opening firm or. account of European damage reports, due to heavy rain, wheat prices were headed downward and showed but little rallying power until after noon, whn tbero was ossin that exporters were .taking a liberal share of the surplus yield in Oklahoma and Southern Kansas. Covering by shorts late in the day rallied the corn market. Consignments of oats from the country to day were the largest or the season. Provisions ruled higher. Interest cen tered chiefly in lard.

Stanton Warbttrton's delay in finally withdrawing from the Repub lican party has greatly embarrassed the Auditors of the J3 counties com prising the Second Congressional Dis trict and will put each county to the extra expense, of either providing new primary election tickets or of going through an unnecessary first and second-choice Congressional contest. In Lwis County the ballots are printed. Today Wurburton telegraphed to County Auditor Swafford asking that his name be stricken from the Repub lican ticket. The Auditor replied that Warburtcn's name could not be taken off unless Warburton would agree to pay for new tickets, consequently Lewis County Republicans will select between Johnson, Warburton, Van Eaton and Richards and will turn iu first and second-choice totals. By telephonic inquiry it has been learned that Thurston County will not put Warburton's name on the Repub lican ballots. Pierce County, after a consultation between the Auditors and the County Attorney, . has decided to print an entirely new set of ballots, figuring that such a course will be cheaper than to go through an unnec essary second-choice count. In Pacific County the ballots are printed ana probably will not be changed. In, Che halis County they have not been print ed and Warburton's name may be erased.
