HOGS OP ONCE MORE
Top Higher Than Saturday
Price by 35 Cents.
MARKET AS WHOLE STEADY
Cattle Offerings Decrease, but Con
ditions Unchanged, While Lambs
Remain Firm List of
Sales Lengthy.
JToss went op to 85 cents In the Portland
TJnlon Stockyards yesterday, with top $17.50,
at which the bulk of the heavy list ot sales
tor the day were consummated. A tempor
ary stiffening In hog Quotations with the
opening of the market Monday morning
was expected, but It la predicted that the
coming week will see the figures fall lower
than they did In the week Just closed.
Killers are bearing the market in an ef
fort to bring the prices down still further,
and this attitude Is being stubbornly con
tested by the shippers.
There was a marked decrease In the offer
ings of cattle on the market, with prices
steady and conditions much as they had been
in the previous week.
There was little doing In sheep and lambs
yesterday, with only a few new arrivals and
a small list of sales.
Prices remained the same practically In
sheep, the only changes In lambs being rep
resented In a sale In which the price ad
vanced 60c above top quotations of Satur
day and went to 113 60. On the whole the
market prevailed steady.
Kecelpts were 1279 cattle, 80 calves, 974
hogs. 843 sheep a. total of 67 carloads.

Cheese and Butter May Rise Mora.
The rise In butterfat, butter and ohaese
last week Is possibly the precursor of still
another upward move, owing to the dim
inution of the milk supply and the dwin
dling source of supply. Reports from the
dairy centers Indicate that the pasture Is
going rspldly in the drought and the milk
supply Is steadily decreasing. The coming
of th Fall rains Is a matter of as Intense
Interest to dealsrs In dairy products as In
other lines.

points. United States Steel reacted from
122 to 12014, closing at 12094. a net loss
of of a point
Other equipments and war Issues as a
whole also pursued an uneven course and
rails soon parted with their moderate gains
of the first hour.

Impending payments to the liberty lnn
and the next offering of Treasury celtlfl
cates accounted for the 8 per cent call
money rate and the greater scarcity of tlma
accommodations.

While Provisions Follow Swine and
Weather In Northwest Strength
ens Corn, Wheat Pit Re
mains Silent.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27. Fear of frost In the
Northwest did much to strengthen corn
prices today after liberal offerings had taken
away an Initial rally. The market closed
strong and near the top, lc to lc higher,
with December at $1.09 and May at $1.06.
Oats closed strong, c higher, and pro
visions finished at an advance of from 8c
to 80c, final figures being at the top for
the day.
The wheat pit was silent, trading in fu
tures having ceased with the last Saturday.
Cash wheat was somewhat easier, but trad
ers were awaiting the price to be fixed by
the Government.
Country offerings of oats were not Im
pressive, holders showing reluctance to dis
pose of their lines.
Advances In live hog prices gave strength
to provisions, and leading sellers of last
week bought freely. Lard was In good de
mand. The list closed at top figures for
the day.

REPOnTS FROM EASTICRN" OREGON
AND IXLA.SD EMPIRE ENCOURAGE.
indications That All Other Crops Will
Suffer Seriously as Result of
Unusually Sustained Drought.
Crop reports from the Inland Empire and
from Central Oregon compiled by II. E.
Lounsbury, general freight agent for the
O.-W. R. & N. Railroad, from reports from
various agents along the line. Indicate
hopeful prospects for the grain crop this
season, but serious injury to other crops
due to the sustained drought.
Reports from important points along the
line are In brief as follows:
Spokane, Wash. Wheat harvest and
threshing In full blast; small amount of
grain coming into warehouses. Yield is bet
ter than the more pessimistic claimed, and
as experienced grain dealers predicted, about
65 per cent of a normal crop. Continued
dry weather has cut the oat crop, which it
was thought would get rain before matur
ing. Potato crop will be about normal. The
yield will be small, but the acreage will
make up for that. Pasture is dried up.
Walla Walla. Wash. Harvest Is making
rapid progress. Grain in Walla Walla
County holding up much better than antic
ipated; other three counties about 75 per
cent of a normal crop. First shipment of
prunes has left Milton. Prune movement
from Walla Walla will start today. Onions
moving daily.
North' Yakima. Wash. Plenty of Water
for irrigation purposes, all canals full and
no restrictions placed on use of Govern
ment water. Mountain range and Irrigated
pastures good. Low range dried up. Dry
land grain very poor. Irrigated grain good,
50 bushels to acre and better; Increased
acreage, 15,000.
Lewiston. Idaho No rain during the week;
continued dryness with no Immediate pros
pects of rain; much concern being felt over
long drought. Harvesting progressing fa
vorably. Fall wheat showing up better in
estimated yield, but Spring wheat falling
down in yield.
Grass Valley Harvest about halt over.
Wheat turning out better than expected,
run five to eight sacks per acre.
Hood Rlvez- Fruit crop In fine condition;
pear harvest has commenced; estimates re
main the lama as formerly given. Potatoes
are In fine condition, but cannot set any
estimate of crop.
Waaco Pasture dry. Farmera about half
through harvesting; favorable harvesting
weather.
More Very dry. Harvesting about half
finished. Has been good harvest weather.
Condon: Harvest making good progress.
Heading Is 60 to 70 per cent done Very
little threshing done The yield, exoept In
the Fall grain. Is disappointing. The per
centage Is about 23 Fall grain, 75 Spring
grain, probably have 250.000 bushels grain
at Condon this year; normal year, 600,000
to 800,000 bushels.
Bend Harvest, going on full blast. Spuds
account dry weather not looking so well.
Second crop Irrigated alfalfa looking fine
Supply pretty well bought up.
La Grande Harvest going along nicely and
some threshing being done Pasturage get
ting pretty dry and needs rain badly.
Imbler Soil Is very dry. no rain to speak
of in three months. Farmers are now cut
ting their Fall wheat, and It Is turning out
better than expected. Other grain, such as
Spring wheat, oats and barley, la looking
pretty bad. It will be only half a crop
and will do well If It Is that. Potatoes are
looking as good as can be expected, and
the estimate is placed at 60 carloads. Ap
ples are looking pretty good and estimated
at 65 carloads.
Elgin Fall grain being cut and threshing
machines getting well under way. Early
reports show that Fall grain is running from
19 to 22 bushels to the acre. They claim" that
20 bushels average la good estimate. Pas
ture getting very soarce.
Enterprise Grain cutting well under way.
Second crop ot hay looking better. How
ever, there will no doubt be a shortage here
for feeding this Winter. Fall grain will yield
better than expected. It is now claimed
there will be very close to 200,000 bushels
In this vicinity for market.
Joseph Wheat being harvested; yield
light, 16 to 25 bushels to the acre in hills.
Second crop of hay will be heavy.
