NO SELLING BY FARMERS Continued Breaks at Chicago Stop All Demand in This Section. Oats and Barley Steady. Flour Is lower. The wheat market was decidedly weak yesterday as a consequence of the sharp decline at Chicago, following the slumps of last week. At the Merchants' Exchange bids were 2 to 5 cents lower on white wheat and 1 to 3 cents lower on red wheat than Saturday's. Offers put out in the country were again reduced, bnt as was the case with the cuts of last week, no selling by farmers resulted. Dealers are not prepared to say. that the market has seen Its high point for the cur rent season, but the situation is so un satisfactory they are not disposed to operate on the present falling market, with wheat so htrta It la easily affected by every ad- Terse development, and there is plenty of opportunity In these times for unfavorable developments to occur. As for the farmers tn the Northwest, they are not holding enough wheat for It to be a strain on the market, and unless they get the prices they want will no doubt carry much of the grain over. The oats market was steady yesterday, with a moderate demand. Barley was firmer in response to the advances at San Fran cisco and In the East. The Liverpool grain cable said: Wheat easier as Influenced .by American weakness. World's shtoments llchter. Corn firm . on light shipments. Platte offers strong. Oats strong, with advancing soot anil decreased floating quantity of 1 3S0 0OO bushels for the week. American shipments liberal, but mostly to Continent, with Rot terdam and -France absorbing. Flour mat Jtet easier Argentina Weather generally . clear and hot. Interior movement decreas Jng. France Weather continues very cold, with moderate snow. Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Whnt Barley Flour unts nsy come from the Imperial Valley this season. It was fancy stock and was quoted at $3.50 a crate. - California Hops Easier. Several small lots or Oregon bops were re ported sold at 5 to 9 cents, according to grade. The demand for contracts at 10 11 cents continues. California letters noted the following lots of .pot Sonoma, sold: 3. G. Northern, 89 bales. 'to Jacks at 9 cents; J. L. Peterson. 164 bales at 9 cents; E. C. Well.. 100 bales at 8 cents: MacPhesell. 170 bales at cents: J. T. Fairer crop at 9 cents. Flour Prices Beduced. Local flour prices were adjusted to the lower wheat level, a decline of 20 cents a barrel on all grades being announced yester day by millers, effective at once. The new quotation on family patents Is JS.20, the price mat prevailed In the first half of the present month. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: . .

S ' 3B 27 31 3 LArDED NORTHWESTERN APPLES s'ew York Paper Denounces Eastern Packing Method. Packlmr tricks of New York apple grow er, ere arraigned by the New Tork Evenln-g Mall, which at the same time eulogizes Northwestern apples as "honest goods hon estly marked" and put on the market by exnerts. The article recites the story of a mass meeting called In connection with the - "H C. O L-." at which a barrel of New Yflrk state annles was opened up. This particular barrel proved to have four or five layers of good apples at the top. while the rest were shrivelled, good-for-nothing fruit. After stating these facts, and .alluding ts the state law against this practice, the writer states: - "And In the facts presented above yon have, primarily, a picture of the reason Oregon apples and Washington state ap ples crowd New Tork state apples out of the New York City market. 'How can the farmers out In the North western states do it. when New York state farmers can't?" I asked Charles McCarthy, who Is associated with, the National Con ference of Marketing and Farm Credits. "It's the expert," was his answer. "Down in Maryland, for Instance, the farmers are all organised. They plant potatoes from seed their expert recommends. They harvest potatoes when they are told that,' scl eniifically. the time Is ripe. They grade their product and their expert passes on very box before It can go out under the co-operative brand. No farmer can crook the whole farmers" alliance. They will not let any Individual farmer hurt the good name of all of them. The co-operative organiza tions of farmers to sell their product have all failed, save where they have employed an expert manager to keep every one of them straight In the Interest of all of them.

The run was short of the usual over-Sunday receipts, and the demand was keen in all divisions of tha market- Values now are equal to and In some Instances better .than any that have prevailed here, and In view of the general strength of all the livestock markets of the country. It Is reasonable to Oelleve that still higher prices will prevail. Two loads of prime hay-fe J steers were sold at $9, which Is within 15 cents of the extreme price paid here In the past for pulp-fed stock. Other hay-fed steers sold at $8.40 to $3.75. Cows were higher with the best offerings bringing $7.75. Choice heifers brought $7.50 and $8, and good bulls $5. 50. The' advance In the hog market to $11.35 for top grade was realized . on the sale of one load of 181 pounds average. The bulk of the bog sales were at $11.25. Only two loads of lsmbs were sold In the open market., and they brought the higher price of .'12.25. Receipts were 407 cattle. 2 calves. 2207 hogs and 3124 sheep.
