WHEAT. HOT INJURED
Banker Finds No Damage in
Palouse From Rain.
NEED FOR LIVESTOCK SEEN
Offirfr or Lumbermen's National,
Upturning From Montana Con
vention, Makes Inspection
in Inland Kiupire.
Wheat growers of the Paloufe and the
vast Inland Empire country have Buffered
no 1 09 on account of the rainy weather."
I; Mid Graham Dukehart. assistant rnsnirr i
the I.umhermens National Bank, yesterday.
Mr. Dukehart baa Just returned from a trip
through that territory, having previously
attended the convention of TfffMontana
State Bankers- Association, held at Kalis
pell. "In Colfax I called on the different bank
ers and found that they are all satisfied
with conditions and look for a prosperous
year." he continued. "In company with
one of the bankers. I visited the wheat
fields around Colfax and saw them thresh
ing an enormous wheat crop. The way the
threshing crews unhooked from one setting
and proceeded to another without loss of
time was an eye-opener. It was just like a
circus. Wheat growers In the Talouse are
harvesting 43 bushels to the acre. The
harvest la pretty far along, so rains should
do little damage, if any. There is no dam
age as yet from unfavorable weather, and
little grain remains to be cut.
'I found some farmers beginning to raise
stock. Some refuse to sell their grain, and
are feeding It to hogs with marked success.
As In ail other sections, a dearth of cattle
la apparent. Feeders are hard to obtain at
any price, and because of this condition the
farmers are unable to grasp an opportunity
for considerable profit.
"At Toppenish. on the Yakima reserva
tion, .all the land is leased, and the improve
ments therefore are of a temporary charac
ter. The principal crop is alfalfa, and the
farmers were somewhat ca.eless In curing
their hay. It Is not Al stuff, and contains
weeds and some cheat. Here Is an example
of alnppy farming. The average farmer is
not going to-set enough above the cost of
1 I V. I hair rt HuV HnT feed in stock.
It has oeen their practice In recent yearn
wben hay was nign 10 aiF
and sell even their yearlings, so now they
have no stock to feed.
peach orchards around North Yakima are
In a hiph state of cultivation and are beau
tifully kept. The Yakima Valley has an
enormous fruit crop this year, and they are
now marketlnjf their peaches and early op
pies. Orchard investments around Yakima
are brinKin satisfactory returns. North
Yakima is a live, up-to-date town, with class
A buildings, wide etreets and an automobile
fire department. The Kennewick hth lands
produce large crops of jrrapes and apples.
SV'hlle I was there one train of 56 refriger
ator cars of fruit pulled out of the station.
"One opportunity that is being overlooked
almost all alonit the line is that of raising
hogs. Enough goes to waste on the average
farm to feed a good-sized band of porkers.
If farmers would only embrace this oppor
tunity, they could clothe their families and
have a substantial surplus from the profits
of hogralsing.
'The convention at Kalispell was well
attended, and after the business sessions
were concluded the delegates were nter
tained by a trip to Lake McDonald and
Glacier Park. We also took a motor trip
CO miles east of Kalispell in the Flathead
Valley, where they are just harvesting a
large grain and hay crop. Wheat and oats
four feet high, with heads correspondingly
heavy, were seen. There were enough dele,
gates from Spokane and San Francisco to
enable us to charter a special Pullman from
Belton. Mont., to Spokane, and this mad it
pleasant for all." . . j
PURCHASING OF WHEAT IS CHECKED
Bayers Apparently Are" Filled I'p and With
draw From tlio Market.
There was a decided slowing down of
activity in the wheat market yesterday. A
few buyers were still in the field, paying
80 cents, but the majority of the larger
dealers have withdrawn temporarily. Wheat
was freely offered at the old price and for
the first time in two weeks the offerings
were in excess of the demand.
There were no changes in the barley or
oats markets.
Local receipts in cars were reported by
the Merchants Exchange as follows:

by the Liverpool Corn Trade News as fol
lows: United Kingdom The continued wet
weather which has prevailed for the past
ix weeks has caused irreparable damage
to the wheat crop and a considerable por
tion of the new wheat is unfit for milling
purposes, and nearly all of it unfit for im
medite use. The. weather today shows im
provement. France There are some complaints of
sprouting and bad condition of wheat, owing
to wet weather. Our own agent takes a
more favorable view regarding both the
quality and yield. The oats has suffered
damage from wet weather.
Uermanv Much of the wheat and oats
crops has been damaged by the continued
rains, and there is an increased demand
for foreign wheat. There are many com
plaints regarding the potato crop.
Roumanta The outlook for the com crop
has improved. Plowing for the new wheat
crop is progressing under favorable weather
condition. .
Hungary The outlook for the corn and
potato crop is good.
ustralla The wheat crop shows a healthy
growth, although it is somewhat backward.
Russia Our agent at Odessa stales that
the weather Is fine, although there has
been some damage to the crops by rain.
Arrivals are large. In the Volga region
i v.. hinHoroH lt harveatlnK. and some

the southwest the weather is unsettled after
general rains, and harvest reports are un

NEW YORK, Sept. 4. The most note
worthy Mature of today's dull and irreg
ular stock market was the growing im
portance of money as a factor.
For a time the list gave signs of an in
clination to shake off the heaviness of the
previous day although opening prices were
generally lower. This was followed by a
buying movement and short covering soon
established gatM of a point or more In
some of the n representative issues.
In the earlyafternoon when call loans
we're quoted at 4 per cent and time rates
went higher the market sagged until lit
tle was left of the gains except in certain
of the higher priced specialties, notably the
tobaccos, which repeated some of their spec
tacular performances.
Private advices from Berlin, where pri
vate discounts were again higher. Indicated
an early advanee in the bank rate.
The bond market was again heavy with

Sunday, en route from Portland. On
July 23 H. Johnson, a young civil engi
neer of Portland, was drowned in the
Cispus, his body Seing recovered but
a few days ago. Mr. Green accompa
nied the body to Portland.
Mr. Green is interested in develop
ment of extensive water power proj
ects in Eastern Lewis County, on the
Cispus River, and at PacKwood LaKe.
Both are regarded as quite feasible and,
when their development is finally ac
complished, will require an investment
of between $20,000,000 and ?25. 000,000.
Eastern Lewis County, according to
Mr. Green, and all who are familiar
with its resources, is a treasure house
awaiting rail transportation. Coal,
