the patt month, interrupted by rains about
the 10th, Fruit tree are loaded. Grain
and hay crops have come along In good
shape though about two weeks later than
usual.
Very little hay was cut before the ISth
and the hay harvest Is Just now getting
Into full swing The weather is Ideal for
haying. R. II. Musser, county agent, esti
mates a total shortage In the alfalfa hay
crop in the county of 5 to 7 per cent be
low normal, the shortage all being In the
upper part of the valley. Red clover acre
age is away below normal, but the crop
showing is remarkably good.
The Caldwell Milling 4b Elevator Company
report paying for grain loose delivered to
elevators as follows; "Wheat, $-,90; oats,
$2.50; barley, 2.70. Work la progressing
on their 200,000-bushel concrete elevator,
and It will be ready to handle the sew
crop, which the company estimates will be
by all odds the heaviest ever handled at
this point.
Practically so fat cattle In this section
on the market. Fat steers would be worth
about $8. cows S0.S0 to 7 per hundred. Hog
price today, $13.50 delivered at Caldwell.
Dealers report supply on the farms very
light, perhaps not to exceed one-half of
Stocks of All Classes
Under Pressure.
OUTSIDE DEMAND LACKING
Ho one In the Northwest appears to be the .hofi on and a year
interested in wheat at this time. The mills
hero and on the Sound are out of the mar
Vet, and there is no demand from the
outa'de. Dealers are more or less at sea as
to values, but ft Km re that bluestem would
DO worth about S2.23 if anyone wanted it-
Crop conditions In the three states are
keing closely watched. Things are getting
to the point where wheat begins to need
rain, and unless It gets it in a few days the
crop in some sections is gong to be burned.
In discussing the outlook for the market.
m jeaaing grain man said:
L have no doubt the Government will
aot only forbid speculation In wheat, but
will also fix the price and control Its dls
tribut'on. No one can say at this time
wnat the price will be, but It Is my guess
that 2 a bushel at Chicago for No. 2 red
win be made the maximum basis. Values
.here and In all other sections will be based
on the freight rate from shipping point to
Chicago. That would make bluestem In the
-Northwest producing sections worth about
r the farmers refuse to sell at the
prtre- fixed, there is no doubt the Government
win commandeer the wheat and see to its
distribution to domestic consumers and to
the allies. No one who has studied the
situation doubts that much good will come
irom a Government fixed price and from
m prohibition of speculation on exchanarea.

0KEG05 PBUNE BCTEB9 WITHDRAW
Trade Is at Sea Since Opening Prices Were
Named in California.
The action of the Prune Association In
naming an opening price on California
prunes of 6 cents has caused packers In
this state to withdraw entirely from the
market as buyers. They had been making
contracts with Oregon growers on the basis
of 8 cents, but the low price announced by
the California combination has upset thel
calculations. Pending developments in the
South no further contracting is expected.
Crop conditions In this state and In Clarke
County, Washington, are unchanged. Prune
men look for a yield of 25.000.000 to 30,
000,000 pounds, but cannot tell at this time
how the crop will run as to sizes, Usually
the prunes ' are large when the crop is
light, and when the yield is heavy small
sizes predominate. This was not the cj
last year In Oregon, however, as there was
record yield and at the same time prunes
ran heavily to large sizes.
MALAGA GRAPES ARE XS MARKET
Demand for Cantaloupes and Melons Im
proves Berries Are Scarce.
The first Malaga grapes were received
from California yesterday and sold at $2.85
3.00 a crate.
Cantaloupes were In large supply and sold
well at unchanged prices. The demand for
watermelons haa also Improved.
Strawberries were senrce, as there was
but little picking on the Fourth, and th
market was firm and higher at S 1. 8562.00.
A car of mixed California, deciduous fruits
Will arrive this morning.
Two cars of new potatoes came up from
the South and were quoted at 44H cents.
An occasional sale of old Oregon is re

From W. J. Jordan, general agent. North'

"Weather the past week has been warm

moisture from the ground. The Prairie sec
tion had a good shower early In the week.

any more rainfall. This section is 30 davs
earlier than either the Palouse or prairie
sections.
rom J. T. Hardy, traveling freight and
passenger agent Spokane Portland . & Seat

tw crop conamons are not looking as
well as they did two weeks ago. and this
is due to It being very hot and dry. It
looked as though It might rain a few days
ago. out it turned out clear and hot. and
as not doing the crops any good. If we do

sa ground had formed a top crust and wheat
wi not advancing as rapidly as expected,
cpring wneat is jointing much closer to
tne ground than usual, which indicates
Shortage of straw, and is not the healthiest
fr rowing condition. A good soaking rain
during the next two weeks will be of great
benefit to all grains. The Fall sown wheat
in territory around Mount Hope to Spring
alley has a good stand of straw, and Is
licading out In fine shape. This Is the
west au grain 1 have seen In the entire
Palouse country. Farmers are cutting first
crop of alfalfa and are securing very good
tonnage, due to plenty of moisture this
Spring. The heavy wind of last Thursday
did uo damage to the grain. Pea and po

CHICAGO. July 5. Overtopping of all pre
vious high prices continued in the corn mar
ket today, notwithstanding that the record
smashing has been going on since last Sat
urday unchecked. Urgency of demand was
largely due to reports that distillers would
be allowed to grind all corn of which they
had ownership on July lo. The marKet
closed nervous, 2 to 6c net higher, with
July at t.62 to S1.62H and September at
1.544 to $1.54. Wheat gained 5 to 8
cents, closing unsettled, July S2.09 and Sep
tember S1.8UV,. Oats finished c to 10
up and provisions unchanged to 15c higher.
The immediate basis tor tne aavance ot
the corn market as a whole was th. fact
that No. 2 vellow corn in the sample trade
sold up to 91.82 a bushel as against $1.78
on Tuesday. Scarcity of supplies was evi
dent almost as soon as business began.
There was a little transient uncertainty.
owing to reports of beneficial raius in the
Southwest-
Wheat advanced mainly as a result of the
strength of corn. Besides, however, advices
were at hand that wheat In tne Houtnwest
had been adversely affected by hot winds
during th last week, and that the North
Dakota crop had suffered from drouth. Very
little business was done, as traders were
awaiting developments in regard to Gov
ernment Control.
Active call from export Interests proved
a big factor In lifting the oats market. On
the other hand, considerable selling that
was don. appeared to be advance hedging
ot the new crop.
Provisions ascended with hogs snd corn.
Holders, though, seemed disposed to realize
on the upturn.

PBNDI-KTOV, Or.. July o. f Special.)
"While there Is ss yet little Injury to the
ffruln crops of the great wheat belt Imme
diately tributary to Pendleton, farmers are
beginning to be apprehensive regard inn the
effect of the heat on their crop pronpects.
There was but little ratn last month, and
many bright days, alt hough the average
temperature was not great. The present
hot wave haa lasted, unbroken, for severs.!
days and the farmers are scanuins the sklea
for signs of a change.
Reports are coming In from the western
end of the county, where the soil is light.
Thorp, the farmers say, there has been some
burning already, though not enough to do
material damage to the crops, in the conn
try south ot Pilot Rock. also, there has
been some Injury to the grain reported. In
that section seeding was delayed several
weeks this year by the late Spring weather,
and the grain Is not as weil fortified as
usual against Inclement weather.
In other -sections the grain appears to
be stan dine the siege in fine shape.
