TVhilc commodity price fluctuations were
confined within a somewhat narrower
range, the course of prices In the whole
sale markets in the past week continued
toward a lower level, there being 43 de
clines fit the quotations received- toy Dun's
Review, as against 24 advances. The grain
markets again occupied the most impor
tant position, a disappointing demand from
abroad, together with favorable crop re
ports, having a depressing effect on all
cereals, and wheat, corn, oats, rye and
barley yielded to more or less extent.
In live meat", easier conditons pre
Talled In beef and sheep, largely because
of moderate consumptive demands, but
hogs strengthened somewhat. Provisions
moved irregularly, but as a whole, were
Inclined to give way.
Receipts of dairy products wen only
sMghtly in excess of requirements, and,
with all surplus of desirable quality read
ily absorbed for storage purpose, prices
of butter and eggs showed .some improve
ment. Quotations of practically all iron and
steel products are sustained, and advances
have been .named In some instances, but
disquieting advices regarding conditions
In merchandising channels continue to
dominate the cotton goods markets, and
the prevailing tone is still easy.
Sentiment in hides and leather remains
reactionary, whereas a better feeling seems
to be developing in rubber and silk.

0O0 from the federal reserve bank, for gov
ernment bond deposits left the market
bare of time money. Call loans, after
opening at the recent fixed rate of 7
per cent, rose to 9 per cent Just before
the close.
Foreign exchange, except the rate to
Buenos Aires, made further, recovery.
Railroad shares. Including many sec
ondary or reorganized issues, were again
in process of accumulation. Inaugura
tion of the new railroad tariffs doubtless
accounted in the main for the further
absorption of transportation 9hares. but
the larger earnings which are expected
to accompany the movement of crops and
heavy exports were not ignored In the
calculations of traders.
Reading was strongest of the rails, clos
ing at a gain of 2, Southern Pacific

FARMERS AGAIN OFFERING POTATOES
Digging Has Been Resumed Since Weather
Turned fooler.
The potato market has a somewhat eas
ier tone, as offerings by farmers are larger,
digging having been resumed since the
weather turned cooler. Buyers are pay
ing farmers 2(S 2 cents for the best
graded stock and around 2 cents for field
run. Most jobbers are asking 3 cents.
The Idaho crop reporting service places
the commercial crop of the state at 8200
cars, compared with 6830 estimated last
year. The potato crop, according to field
notes of the bureau of crop estimates,
needs rain in the northern lake section
and in North Dakota and Tennessee. Gen
eral prospects continue good. The planting
of the fall crop in South Carolina has been
delayed on account of dry weather. Po
tato prospects In Wisconsin and Minne
sota are less satisfactory, owing to lack of
rain. Johnson county, Kansas, reports the
average yield In that part of the Kaw
valley section at 170 bushels-.
Shipments throughout the country are
now averaging about 3000 cars a week.

DANCE HALL IS CHURCH
Peculiar Situation Develops in
'Purchase of iiuildtng.
PASCO, Wash., Aug. 26. (Special.)
Through the purchase of the Kni&hts
of Pythias hall a most peculiar Bitua
tior. has developed here. Previous to
the purchase of the building by
Methodists a lease had been secured
on the hall for dancing purposes,
which holds good until January 1,
1921.
The Methodists have taken posses
sion of the building, and are now
holding their services in the room
used as the dance hall, and upon
which the lease is held..
Unless an agreement can be reached
whereby the lease can be canceled,
the last three months of the year will
witness the unusual spectacle of two
dances a month, held in a Methodist
church.

CHICAGO, Auc. 26. All grains were
affected by the early strength in wheat
today, but the best prices were not main
tained, a reaction carrying prices toward
lower levels; At the finish wheat was
unchanged to 1 e lower, with December
$2.3314 to $J 33 12 and March $2.'JH; corn
showed net loss of c to lc and oats
were off Vic to 'c. Provisions, however,
ruled strong at a 12c to oUv advance.
Strength was shown early in wheat, but
the decline In other grains served to
temper bullish sentiment. December
showed a firm undertone, but did not
maintain the advance, while March was
under pressure. Export demand was slow
and bids from abroad somewhat lower.
Oats were firm early on short cover
ing, but weakened later with corn.
Provisions showed & stronger tone on
the strenrth In foreign exchange and an
advance of la25c in hogs.
The Chicago market letter received yes
terday by Overbeck & Cooke company of
Portland said:
Wheat December wheat . showed a
stronger undertone, but March was weak
and at on time the difference widened
to around six cents. Buying of December
by seaboard houses offset hedging sales.
There was a lack of snap to the export
demand today and bids were reported on
a lower basis, as Indicated by a reduction
of one cent In offers to the country for
shipment to the gulf. Premiums on spot
here were fully two cents higher. No. 1
grades selling at 24 cents over December,
but this was not surprising, lasmuch as
Chicago has been relatively the lowest
market In the west. While there are cer
tain elements of strength in the wheat sit
uation, th movement seems to be limited
only by the number of cars available in the
southwest and with a tight financial sit
uation we cannot enthuse on the buying
side.
Corn Practically all reports today indi
cated that the producer is getting ready
to sell old corn freely and that the extent
of the movement in the near future will
be governed almost entirely by the number
ish and on all bulges there is free selling. 1
In this connection it may be noted that
whereas the recent disposition was to buy
on breaks it is now the policy of selling
on bulges. Cash corn was unchanged,
but the demand was less keen.
Oats Trade was not large and the mar
ket affected by the action of corn. Coun
try offerings were not large, but this de
pended on the section of the west, one
Indiana house buying 100, (K0 bushels
over night. Eastern demand Is slow. That
section has considerable grain coming to
it on purchases for September shipment.
Feel that ultimately prices will be lower.
Provisions Fairly active; advance of 20
cents in hog prices causing some short cov
ering. Offerings were light until the ad
vance was established, when some realiz
ing set in; cash trade rather quiet: 14.000
hogs Indicated for tomorrow, 7000 left
over today.

HOSPITAL DECLARED NEED
Survey Made in Kastern Oregon
of Tuberculosis Situation.
BAKER, Or.. Aus. 26. (Special.)
That eastern Oregon is in need of a
tuberculosis hospital is the opinion
of Robert W. Osborn, expressed fol
lowing a survey of Umatilla, Union,
Vvallowa and Baleer counties as field
representative of tho state tubercu
losis association.
The machinery necessary for the es
tablishment of such a hospital Is
provided by a state law passed in
1917 which permits counties to form a
district for the construction and
maintenance of such an institution.
The statistics for Baker county
show that there are 51 cases of the
disease.
