The California hay market has been stim ulated by export business. The weekly mar ket letter of Scott, Wagner & Miller says: Export trade is fairly good, the. Govern ment having placed an order In this market for 000 tons of hay for shipment to Ma nila, which, together with 2500 tons placed a few weeks ago, will have quite an effect upon the export market, which is very firm. Inquiries for large quantities for other outside points are beinp received, but up to date we cannot note the placing of any orders. '"Receipts of hay for the past week were 2.V4 tons, a slight Increase over last week of 2S30 tons. Most of the hay arriving is coming out of tho warehouses upon which season's storage has had to be paid. This necessitates higher prices being asked and therefore the market has a very firm tone, with consumers paying these advanced fig ures to obtain their requirements."

CHICAGO, Oct. 18 Huge receipts at Altnneapolls, Duluth and Winnipeg, with a promised continued heavy movement in the Northwest throughout the week, did l good deal today to denress the wheat mar- ket here.

Other speculative articles, too. showed losses corn c to lc, oats lfcc to lliic and provisions 2 Uc to Z2U& What little reaction from the lowest level of the day took place in the wheat market appeared to be due to the smallneas of gain in the Lnlted States visible supply. The seaboard aent word that 1,000.000 bushels had been purchased for export, but that almost the entire amount was from Manitoba. Oorn receded In value as a result of the break in wheat. The improved weather tended also to stimulate selling. Oats followed the bearish lead of other grain. Cash houses unloaded freely. Commission houses went to the bear side of the provision market. The incentive seemed to be the fact that an early ad vance in the price of hog-s bad gradually disappeared. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High.

' Fred Braekmas, of Warren, Writes to Postmaster at St. Louis in Search for Helpmeet. WHOEVER thought there was a man right here in Oregon who couldn't find an Oregon girl to his liking. Every body else knows that Oregon girls are beyond comparison with those of any other state whatsoever, but Fred Brook man, down at Warren. Or., doesn't share in this opinion. "No more Ore gon girls for me," he recently wrote. One girl who read his letter suggested that it might be a case of sour grapes, but there are no data available to prove this is true. Indeed. Mr. Brook man, in his letter, intimates that it would be easy enough for him to get a wife right at home if he only would say the word. Mr. Brookman says that his mind has been made up all the time to marry an Eastern girl. Just who she is doesn't seem to matter. His letter, seeking assistance in the matter of selection, was written to Colin M. Selph. postmaster at St. Louis, Mo., and Mr. Selph being willing to do what he can as an aid to cupid, has had it pub lished in a St, Louis paper. Here is tho letter: Warren, Or.. Oct. S. 11B. Mr. Post master: Dear Sir 1 am going to write few lines to ask a favor of you. You will think It funny, but I will explain. I would like to know if there Is any young widow or girl that would like an Oregon man for a husband. The neighbors here, wanted to know why I did not get married and I told them when I got married I was going to have an Eastern wife, and I am going to make my word good if I can. 1 am 28 years old. weight 170 pounds, dark brown hair and have a small farm. Would like a widow or girl about my age and fair looking. I have been married and wife being dead, and no more Oregon girls for me. If you can do anything for me I will pay you for your trouble.
