Western AVashington Slocked by Re
fusal of Growers to Sell Heavy
Iiuslness in California,
on 15 -Cent Basis.
The bop market is steady graining In
strength, with enlargement of the Eastern
demand. Buying is still confined chiefly
to California for some reason that the deal
ers here do not understand, but they be
lieve that the Inquiry will soon be turned
this way.
It was reported yesterday that two Eugene
lots, thoss of Anderson. G5 tales, and Hardy,
60 bales, bad been bought by T. A. Livesley
& Co. at 11V4 and H cents. There were
also reports of 12 cents being offered in
this state.
Twelve cents was freely bid In 'Western
AVashington, but growers would not sell.
In the Yakima section better than 13 cents
was offered during the day. The Bhadbolt
lot of 150 bales of Taklmas was sold.
The California market held strong at
15 cents for the best hops and buying was
heavy. Proctor purchased 1200 bales and
SVolf S0O bales at this price.
Among tht Sonoma and Mendocino lots
old at 15 cents were: McCutcheon, 140
tales; Dick Hall, 2S0 bales; Peterson. 80

BARLEY BIT3 SHARPLY ADVANCED
For Feed Grade $35 Is Offered on Local
Hoard.
Barley was the strong feature of the local
(train market yesterday. At the Merchants
Exchange bids for feed barley were ad
vanced $2 to 535. In the country blue brew
ing barley was sold at $33 to $34 f. o. b. It
was .reported that one exporter has the
barley supply closely bought up here.
The wheat market was rather weak. Bids
in the Interior were generally reduced a
cent from Saturday. The car shortage Is
keeping buyers out of the market. They
figure that they have all the wheat bought
that they can ship by the first of the year.
Foreign crop conditions, as reported by
Broomhall are as follows:
Inited Kingdom Weather la now more
favorable, and about five-sevenths of the
wheat has been harvested. In the southern
districts ploughing has a fair start.
France Weather has been unfavorable,
but wheat is all harvested and threshing Is
slow, owing to scarcity of labor. Early sam
ples show fair quality, and movement of
new wheat is increasing, but still very mod
erate. Foreign - arrivals are good and meet
ing ready absorption. Stocks moderate.
Germany Crop prospects are considered
favorable. Loss of Danubian supplies further
Increases the food difficulty.
Russia Rains are general and hindering
completion of harvest and ploughing. Estl7
mates of yields are being reduced, and It la
believed that official figures are much too
high. Old reserves are abundant of all grain,
but the quality is unsatisfactof y, as much
-sumed locally and for seed. Prices are ad
rancing. Stocks at north ports and also the
Black Sea are moderate, as It Is not be
lieved that straits will be reopened to enable
shipments this season, and therefore move
ment is light everywhere
Argentine Drouth continues over a wide
area, but there are no damage claims of im
portance. Some rain has fallen in parts.
"Wlyat offers are very light.
Australia Weather fine and crop con
tinues to improve on largely reduced acre
age. Government steamers are commencing
to joaa, ana tnere is some cnartering oe new
steamers, and shipments are estimated to in
crease moderately.
India Weather favorable. Punjab reports
eood rains. Wheat offers larger.
Balkan States Crop prospects generally,
favorable for wheat.

WMINNVILLE, Or.. Sept. 25. (Special.)
Unusually large yields of red clover seed
are reported from Yamhill County - fields
this year, the farm of Dave Klrby. of Belle
vue, producing 90 bushels from nine acres,
and Duncan Ross, east of McMlnnville,
threshing an average of nine bushels to
the acre. By a strict adherence to the
plan of clipping the first crop at a given
stage of Its growth, as suggested by the
Oregon Agricultural College, the farmers
successfully have - combated the ravages of
the clover seed midge, which a few years
ago threatened the destruction of the clover
seed industry In the Willamette Valley.

STOCK SALES HUGE
Biggest Day's Trading in Wall
Street for Nearly Decade.
NEW RECORDS NUMEROUS
Steel Soars to 120, but Does Not
Retain Its Gain Other Advances
Largely Sacrificed "in Clos
ing Minutes of Session.
NEW YORK, Sept 25. All records In
point of activity for nearly a decade were
surpassed on the Stock Exchange today,
when 2.25O.O00 shares, exclusive of count
less "odd lots." changed hands to the ac
companiment of numerous new high rec
ords. Many of these gains were sacrificed
In the last hour, more particularly the last
13 minutes, when a selling movement as
vast as It was unexpected caused a shrink
age of almost six points.
United states Steel, in which dealings
again were on an almost Incredible scale,
dropped from 120. its new maximum
achieved in the forenoon, to 114i. closing
at 115. a net loss of two points after a
gross gain of three points.
Coppers, which .rivaled Steel in promi
nence and strength, .with new records for
Anaconda. Utah, Inspiration and several
lesser issues, also broke abrutly. though.
In some Instances, retaining a part of their
advance.
Reading, also included in the list of im
portant stocks that found a new high level
at 115H, yielded two-tnirda of its rise
In the closing price of 113. Other rails,
which hnd manifested strength, notably
Union Pacific, St. Paul, New York Central
and the coalers, fell away In the receding
movement.
Motor shares, like Maxwell and Stutz.
and Central Leather, all of which had
broken into new high ground, capitulated
to the weight of the selling.
Gent-ral news lost none of its recent fa
vorable tenor, money rates showing an
even greater ease. Western freight move
ments wtre thi'ad of last year and that
section seems to have recovered from the
effects of threatened labor troubles.
Bonds were firm on an expansion of
dealings. Total sales, par value, $4,850,000.
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.

AMERICAN STOCKS GROWING
Strength In First Part of Session Due
to News of Threatened Kailure
of Crop in Argentina, TTn
less ltaln Comes Soon.
CHICAGO. Sept. 23. Although wheat ad
vanced to the highest prices yet this sea
son today, the market afterward receded,
owing largely to an Increase In the United
State visible supply total.- Prices closed
weak at 11.55 to $1235 4 for December ana
$1.64 V for May, with the market as a whole
"c off to ic up. compared with Saturday's
finish. Corn lost He to lc net and oats
'sliic to Vc. In provisions the outcome
ranged from 6c decline to a like advance.
Wheat values had a decided upward list
during the first half of the session. News
of a probable crop failure In Argentina,
unless rain came soon,' tended to etiraulste
purchasing, and so. too, did a material fall
ing off in world ahlpmenta As soon, how
ever, as the United States visible supply
figures began to Indicate that the total this
Keek would be materially bigger than was
the case a week ago, the market showed a
disposition to react.
Profit-taking by holders of wheat as
sumed large proportions In the last part of
the day and left the market In the end at
virtually the lowest level of the- session.
Corn swayed., with wheat, but oats were
steadier 10 some extent by export sales of
500.000 bushels.
Provisions were rsther slow. Packers sold
distant futures -and appeared to be back

TUMALO SHOW IS HELD
.TTOnEr.CEXEIUL A3IO"G VISI
TORS AT PROJECT EXHIBIT.
Mr. Drown Make Address Denouncing
Brewers Amendment and Single
Tax Measure.
BEXD. Or., Sept, 23. (Special.)
The sixth annual exhibition of the
West Side Agricultural Fair Associa
tion, held at Tumalo Saturday, was
one of the most successful in its his
tory. Large numbers from Prineville.
Kedmond and Bend were present, in
addition to one or more representatives
from every family or the Tumalo
project.
Attorney-General Brown," who was
the speaker of the day. devoted fhe
greater part of his time to a discussion
of some of the initiative measures
which will appear on the ballot at the
coming election. He was especially
vehement in his argument against the
so-called brewers' amendment and the
single-tax measure. In Mr. Brown's
opinion the prod'-frtivity of the irriga
tion project, coupler! with the market
furnished by the mill workers at Bend,
means certain success for the settlers.
In the afternoon he made a trip over
the project with Manager Fred N.
Wallace, returning even more enthusi
astic over Its possibilities than when
he had seen the fair exhibits.
Luncheon was served by the West
Side woman's organization at noon,
after which there were races and buck
ing contests. There was a dance In the
evening.

rRIKEVTLLK, Or.. Sept. 25. (Spe
cial.) The decision of the Supreme
Court Tuesday in the suit of George 11.
Brewster nirainst Crook County for
$332, unpaid salary, has finally dis
posed of a matter which has been a

troversy has been completely sustained

tle which has lasted for two years.

important duties, as the right to use

the Importance of this decisioa is far-
reaching and finally determines a
question that has been a source of
much dispute.
