MUNICIPAL BOND SALES ARE LARGER Bullish 8entlment Reenlts In Advances til Values in August. August, usually a dull month for the bond business, was this year somewhat different. During the month a bullish sentiment caused municipal bonds to advance in value to no slight extent, according to the Daily Bond Buyer of New York. New York City issues, in particular, have reflected the op timistic feelings of bond dealers, who attach great importance to the expected raising by act of Congress of the rates of the Federal income tax, from which levy municipal bonds are expressly exempt. Another Influence worthy of mention was the growth in the deposits in postal savings banks, all of which funds must be secured by deposit of public bonds, either Govern ment, state or municipal. From the figures below, which are com piled from the records of the Bond Buyer, may be seen the volume of sales of new long-term municipal bonds In the United States in August and the eight months' period ending August 31 for the last ten years: August.

Reports of the odlcial testers for four cow-testing associations in Coos County for the month of August show that the milk and fat production has held up remarkably well for a month usually considered the dryest of the season. E. P. Black, of "the Coos Bay association; Herbert A. Ballin, of the Coquille Valley: Kenneth Nelson, of Myrtle Point, and L. B. Moore, of the Lower Coquille association, have made theeir monthly report to County Agriculturist Jay L. Smith. Seventy cows have produced 50 pounds of fat or more. The leading- producers were: Hol stein, owned by Frank Rogers, Coos Bay, 77.3 pounds; Durham, owned by Archie Philip, Coos Bay, 74.5 pounds; Jersey, owned by E. A. Howey.

HIGHWAY WORK IS RAPID Work Progresses Fast on Salmon Creek Road. RIDGEFIELD, Wash.. Sept. 5. (Spe cial.) The concrete work on the Sal mon Creek road south of here is pro gressing rapidlV. Nearly half a mile has already been laid toward the Pa cific Highway, and the remainder of this work will be completed in about 10 days. Following this will come the laying of a three-foot strip of macadam along eacH side of the high way, and the whole will be covered with a light covering of asphalt. "When this highway is completed the farmers will have a 15-foot permanent highway running east for one mile from the Pacific Highway. Another stretch of road that will be of great benefit to the residents along it will be that running from the Pacific High way at Hod's store west to the Lake Shore schoolhouse.' SHOWERS STOP HARVEST Continued Rain Will Mean Loss Around Gaston. GASTON, Or., Sept. 5. (Special.) Since Friday evening this locality has been visited by several showers, and the farmers are hoping the weathor will clear tip so the threshing and hay. ing can continue. A large quantity of grain is in tne shock, great fields of oat hay are Just cut. and continued rains would mean a big loss. The usual week-end crowds of auto mobiles, decorated with camping para phernalia, were noticeably absent yes terday. As a rule they are seen rush ing through bright and early Saturday morning and straggling home late Sun day evening, but the threatening weatner must nave caa its effect. NO WHEAT SURPLUS Entire American Crop May Be Required at Home. PREDICTIONS ARE VERIFIED Condition of Spring Crop Placed by Expert at' 42.1 Per Cent, Lowest Ever Known Big Ad vance in Chicago Prices. CHICAGO. Sept. 5. Bis advances In the value of wheat resulted today chleflv from seemlrtg confirmation of the worst predic tions of losses resardins; the Spring- crop ield of 1918. Prices closed unsettled, but 4i to 614c net hls;hr, with December at $1.52 to $1.53. and May at $1.53 to $1.54. Corn sained 114 to 2c and oats 1 to Hi fililc In provisions, the finish ranged from 7 li c. decline to a rise of 15c Virtually no wheat was offered at the out set, and It was necessary to bid the mar ket up 24c before sales began to assume much importance. Meanwhile the demand was broadening. An extreme bulge of 61i cents was shown by wheat in some cases. Foreigners gave signs today that no time was being lost in getting hold of a share of the surplus of last year's wheat in this country and in Canada. Although the set tlement of the railway strike was partly re sponsible, attention chiefly centered on a statement by a leading expert that the con dition of the domestic Spring crop at harvest was 42.4, the lowest ever known. According to another authority, the ISIS crop In the United States was 25.000.000 bushels under bread and seed requirements, and allowed no surplus for export. Corn sympathized with wheat. Crop estl matea were materially lower as compared with a month ago. Oats were lifted by a good export demand. Figures on this season's yield of oats were greatly reduced from the Government total of last month. Most of the trade in provisions consisted of changes from the nearby months to the Jnnuary delivery. Price changes were irreg ular. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.
