states generally wheat and rye are in
fair condition though the winter wm

and oats coming up; seeding of wheat and
oats completed in some localities.

the soil for working. Winter wheat and
rye did not come up well on the north

not come up at all. Much wheat was re
sown during latter half of month, and
much sowing of spring wheat done.
Idaho Month was rather cold and there
was considerable cloudiness and inadequate
sunshine. Wheat and alfalfa have come

growth of these crops has been retarded.
Wheat seeding is about half finished in
the Twin Falls section. All vegetation is
backward. '

The millfeed market is very firm and
another advance ill price neems to be in

has-advanced $6 a ton and prices in the

Hard-wheat flour Is also firm and there
is reason to believe that quotations on

not seem to be any chance of getting
better price from the government on soft
wheat floor, notwithstanding it is costing
me mills more to manufacture.
Wheat was firm yesterday at Saturday's

more active business in the market for

tling effect on sentiment, while there was
also selling oy the trade presumably
against lower firm offers. The opening
was 8 to 14 points lower and active

White Stock Will Command Four
Premium Over Brown.
seffinninff today local ejg dealers will
inaugurate the system of buvine eir
cording to color as well as quality. For
whits eggs the buying price to country
shippers will be 39 cents delivered to Port
land, and for brown eggs, 35 cents. Re
tailers will find It necessary to make the
same distinction in selling to their cus
tomers. . .
The demand from eastern markets is
solely for white eggs and in nearly all
markets they command a premium over
veto red eggs. The change in the method
S buy Ins hers will facilitate trade with
outside markets.

to Permit Buying for This Market.
The cube butter market -was steady tof
firm with 5900 cents asked for the best
grade. There was a sharp reaction In
tba tian Francisco market, but the price
has not yet fallen to a point tha will ease
the situation here. - Prints were un
changed. Eggs come in freely by express and there
was little change In the local situation.
Shipments by freight to Seattle storages
are still out of the question.
Poultry arrivals were small and prices
were unchanged. Farm dressed pork was
higher at 22 V cents. Veal moved at 23'3'

CHICAGO, April li. Corn prices un
derwent a sharp setback at one time today
as a result of opinions current In some
quarters that the end of the railway
strike was at hand. NThe market closed
nervous, at the same as Saturday's fin
ish to IVaC lower, with May 1. 67 Q .67tt
and July $l.r9; to Jt.KO. Oats lost Me to.
lfec. In provisions the outcome varied
from 17a decline to 15c advance.
Recclpcs of corn were scanty and & ma
jority of traders leaned to the view ihat
demoralized traffic conditions would for
the time being prevent any accumulation
of stocks. - Price bulges that ensued
reached In some cases the highest level
yet this season.
Oats weakened with corn after jump

Provisions were goverened chiefly by the
action of grain. v
The Chicago market letter received yes

were reached early, though In the fore

the railroad strike was nearlng an end.
which brought out contracts bought on the
theory tbat the strike would prove a
bullish factor. The cash demand was not
good.' with Industries unwilling to buy
except at prices considerably lower. The
corn market since the first of the year has
been a different problem. The country's

The present state of inflation is abnormal.
Men with vision cannot help but foresee
the crisis of reaction. While today the sky
may not be overcast, still the barometer is
disturbed.
It is a time for caution and prudence.
"Closer prices, closer terms, closer collect

We expect during the next 12 months to pack 25.000 cases of salmon
and 15.000 to 20.000 cases of clams, beef, vegetables and berries.
Our big cannery, general store, hotel and the 53 acres of land is
valued at $30,000. The merchandise and cans on hand are worth
$7500. We have paid several thousand dollars down on the new
boat we are building. There are no debts. There is 73 per cent of
our $100,000 capital stock still In the treasury. The new boat has
a freight capacity of 65 tons. It will be placed on an 8-hour run
with a freight rate of $15 a ton. The boat should easily earn for us
$10,000 or more a year. The general store and hotel are both doing
a fine business. We offer you a small block of our stock at 10c
(par) a share to raise the money needed for the final payments on
the $20,000 boat. You" can invest any sum from $25 up. Send for
