Grain I all cut except In some of the higher
altitude, and moatly threhed. Berrlea wera
pracUrallr all harvested without rain, but
the yield aa considerably reduced on ac
count of dry weather. Tree fruit, es
pecially peache. are rather undersized a a
result of Insufficient moisture.
Spring wheat Very unfavorable condition
tat prevailed In tb principal spring wheat
producing stairs. Condition of the crop
in Oregon Is estimated to be T per cent
f normal, indicating a total production for
the state of about 5.TSO.0O0 bushels.
Cats This crop haa been subjected to
about the same weather conditions a spring
wheat. In Oregon the condition estimate la
considerably higher for oats than for spring
wheat soince oats are mostly grown In the
western part of the state, where early sum
mer moisture condition were better than
tn the principal spring wheat section of the
tate. Th Oregon crop 1 now estimated
at Jt?M,flOA bushels.
Barley Barley, being for the most part
a spring sow n crop, show a low condition
tn common with other spring grains. The
Oregon barley crop 1 now estimated at
4.MO.0OO bushel.
Corn In Oregon there Is a large In
crease In the acreage of former yean, but
anost of the acreage will be used for ensi
lage. Some will be "hogged off" and some
busked for winter feed. Very little of the
crop will find Its way Into the market.

Live stock The early September rain
have been of great benefit to cattle and sheep
en the range as well as on the farm. The
precipitation has been fairly heavy and nor

waa expected a month ago led to heavy
selling today In the corn market. Prices
closed unsetled. lc to c net lower, with

to $l.29". Oats finished c off to Vc
advance and provisions down 20c to $1.
Official forecast of a corn yield far In
excess of the most optimistic guess by
private observers would alone have been
sufficient to bring about a big rush to
Un mm. In adilitlon. however, the gov

the crop.
Oats were steadied by some inquiry from

Butter Market at San Francisco and Lead

Butter market conditions as wired to the
Portland office of the bureau of markets
yesterday:
Boston With dealer generally asking
cent advance on all scores today, the market
continues about steady. Consumptive de
mand contlnuea good, but wholesale busi
ness Is very dull. Fine butter seems to be
rather scarce, medium grades making up the
bulk of the stock moving on the market.
Some further inquiries of export buying, but
no salea reported today.
Chicago Market appeared trifle firmer
after advances reported from east this morn
ing, but practically no business has developed
and the tone is weak. No cnange in quota
tions and demand only for finest and very
cheap butter. Price spread between scores
very wide. Centralized dull and dragging
on all but the finest cars, which are still
saleable at a premium.
New York Fine butter found ready sale
and remained firm while underscores were
still dragging and selling at buyers prices.
Liberal offerings of cars of centralized rang
