SCOPE IS WIDENED
Portland Merchants' Exchange
Handles Eastern Grain.
OATS AND CORN QUOTED
.Large Quantities Will Be Brought
In Owing to Small Local Crop of
Former Cereal, and Excessive
Price of Wheat as Feed.
The Merchants Exchange yesterday In
augurated the selling of Eastern , oats and
corn to arrive. This action was taken cot
only because of the elimination of wheat
trading on the board, but also because, of the
assurance that a very large quantity of
Eaitern com and oats will be consumed In
this section this year. With the short oats
crop In the Pacific Northwest It will be
necessary to bring In a great quantity of
Eastern oats as stock feed. Corn will also
be uaed to a greater extent than ever before,
It Is materially cheaper than wbeat as
mx feeding cereal.
Two sales of Eastern oats for September
delivery were posted. Local oats were a
dollar hljrher on bid with no sales. The
handling of grain In carload lots was also 1 grain hay, 120; clover, 20; straw. $3.
effect that harvesting of the bean crop is in
full swing. AH available labor is being util
ized, even the boya of the district receiving
as high as $2.50 per day for "turning" beans.
The entire Gtfford district, according to re
ports, will return a fine average yield. From
one farm comes the report the crop is show
ing 700 to 800 pounds an acre. The Gilford
price Is nine to ten cents.

GAINS OF 1 TO 6 POINTS
STOCKMEN REDUCING THEIR HERDS
Raker County Cattle and Sheep Sold. Owing
to High Feed.
BAKER. Q?-.. Sept. 19. (Special.) Fear
la felt here that the stock Industry of East
ern Oregon will be seriously Impaired, if
not utterly demoralized, by the present ten
dency of .stockmen to reduce their herds.
Thousands of cattle and sheep are being
unloaded upon the market, and the exodus
of cattle now includes many cows with calves
at their sides, when in former years the
calves were kept for beef.
In an attempt to avert threatened dis
aster, the wiser heads among the stockmen
are conducting a campaign throughout
Baker County, not only to urge stockmen to
look farther into the future, but to Induce
small farmers to start herds by picking
up calves and by buying ewe a
The reason behind the unprecedented stock
movement is said to be the extreme cost of
feed, which Is being asked in the local mar
kets, notwithstanding the fact that on the
Irrigated lands the hay crop was as good
as tho average, and In aomo Instances un
usually good.
Tempted by the prices that are being paid
for their product, farmers are selling off all
of their surplus, and. expecting a mild Win
ter, many are reserving only enough to feed
their few remaining stock for three or four
months.
It is believed that the high prices being
asked for hay are In a large measure due to
the exhausting of the reserve supplies by
the long duration of cold weather last Win
ter. Where $8 was the normal price and
$10 a very high price before. $20 In the
stack Is being paid this year, and ranchers
are disposing of their hay In Baker for $23
a ton. The result has been that the stock
men who have not been in the habit of buy
ing all or a part of their feed are unable to
Winter their stock at a profit.
If the hay market does not dron soon It
s expected that Baker County will have but
few cattle or sheep to market for several
year to come.

for the better came today In the stock mar
ket. 'She selling movement, which has
made such headway of late, was checked
effectively and there was a general marking
up of values which reached substantial pro
portions, before the end of the day.
A noticeable change was the tendency to
follow up the market on the rise. The In
quiry broadened as quotations were ad
vanced and the strength was maintained
throughout the session. Total transactions
were i35,000 shares.
