Persons who rare fnr large, unfinishei states with wide outlooks and far horl znriB will like Montana. The greater part of Montana Is out of doors. It Is a state much exposed to the weather and climati' conditions and sometimes it shows it. It covers an amazing' area, and it takes even the most hurried observer 24 hours? on train to cross it. The eye encounters continuity of broken hills and mountains. interspersed with valleys. An April snowfall made th country Christ mas-card scene, but it was "mo: ture" to these people out here and the rejoiced in it. The snow was sinking into the unfrozen ground and more was lyin on the hills waiting for the summer su to bring it down to a soil long parched i ney have just come to the end of a four jear drought in this Ftate that bgan it dirtn t do the stockraisers an the farmers any good. In fact. It nearly ruined them. It affected everybody. Loans Restore Confidence. The chief Interest of the state Is shee and cattle and, to a much smaller degree, wiirat and othr farm products. The Ion dry spell put the state in a deep hole. Th Termers were very hard up last autumn I'hy made arrangements to get govern m?nt money to pull them through. Since tbHt time thy have got something more than f lu.ooo.ooo from the war finance cor poration. Kven before they got the nione the circumstance that it was to be mad uviiilabe restored confidence and stopped the sale of breeding herds. The farmers were selling their cattle and shen to n; th"lr oVtwa in part and meet their curren obligations. The supply of livestock in th mate was being depleted rapidly. This year's higher level of prices for cattle and sheep has been a great help to me people or this state, but they still are in dbt and trying to pay out. They tel stories out here of fa rmers paying off their loans with one wheat crop in a. sa 5on when production was plentiful and prices at a good level. They are now hoping for two or three such seasons in uccespjon. This looks as if it might b tin or tnem. it is about time. Montana, once a mining state.

Copper Is still the one wg resource in this country copper and water power But it is the largest mining camp in the western hemisphere. The AKBconna mines are the largest single, in terest in the state. About $2. 000, 000. 001 wort n or copper has been taken out these hilis. They have made Butte and they support It. They are the reason for its existence. There are other mining interests in, the state, but they are sinallei ana scattered. rioneers Miss Montana. Montana sprawls magnificently over this northwestern country, but, for one reason and another, it is an almost unin habited .empire. It contains now only hooui ;.KMM'U people. One may travel for hours across It and never see a person or a dwelling. It has been here as long es any other state, hut never has become crowded by th westward tide of immigra tion, i'loneers have pushed ori beyond to the coast or they have gone toward the south, where the climate and conditions or living are easier, n is. in fact, an un developed state, except for its mining in terests.

The market sponded to the strength in the east and abroad, but no increase in the volume of buying was reported as a consequence. There was also a firmer tone in the coarse grain market. Oats was from 50 cents to $1 higher and corn was 25 and 75 cents higher on bid. The Chicago wire to the Gray-Rosen baum Grain company follows: . "Locals were again too bearish : last nifcht. Strong Liverpool market inspiring good buying and news more favorable. Export demand better. Foreign news im prcving, although domestic demand slow. Trade more impressed with local condi- to.ns, which are overshadowed by stronger situation abroad. On-passage stocks de creased 5,500,000 bushels." Wheat at Liverpool closed 2& to higher. The Price Current said: "Winter wheat conditions east of the Missouri river are favorable and the loss of acreage is ex ptcted to be small. Reports indicate that srring wheat acreage will 5e equal to thai of last year in the four northwestern state3. Oats acreage will be reduced." The weekly weather crop bulletin fol lows: "The week was unusually cold and stormy in the western states and unfavor able for field work. Continued excessiva moisture is showing bad effects on win ter wheat in some central and eastern portions of the belt on the poorly drained soli. Progress of the crop In Oklahoma and eastern Kansas was very good, but in north central and in western Kansas the fields are weedy and stooling poorly. ' Missouri conditions, according to the Missouri state crop bulletin, are: "Winter wheat looks fine as a rule. However, ther3 a-o 'yellow spots in some fields, due to to much rain, and some fear is expressed that it is making too rank growth. la the section south of the Missouri river it is Jointing. Some rather fine fields in thei river bottom lands are flooded. Little seeding of oats and little or no spring plowing Is done." Private cables state there Is no Im provement in the European crop situation or In the weather developments. A private cable states that the drouth conditions in Australia are distinctly unfavorable and Broomhall's Corn Trade News states that drouth is so serious in Australia that plowing and seeding has been suspended.

DEMAND FOR BUTTER IS HEAVY Bad Roads Hold Back Movement of Eggs in East. Bad roads, due to rainy weather, have held back considerably the receipts of eggs, and aa a consequence, the market has shown some advance, says the weekly produce review of Swift & Co. of Chicago. The general opinion seems to be that pro duction is very heavy and prospects are favorable for heavy receipts in the next few weeks, which will possibly bring about lower values, as the present level seems to be higher th.an the consuming trade cares to pay. Bad weather conditions have resulted in smaller quantity of butterfat being mar keted, and as the demand for butter is very heavy at the present time, the mar ket has shown some advance. The pres ent rains, however, should mean better pastures and heavier production within the next few weeks, resulting in lower prices There has been a good demand in the past few weeks for live poultry for the Jewish holidays, but with these now past tho general tendency will be for lower values. STORAGES ARE EMPTIED OF BUTTER Smaller Quantity of Eggs Put In in Past Week. There was a smaller gain in local stor age holdings of eggs In the past week, the Into-storage movement amounting to only 557 cases, according to the official report. The surplus of Jast season's butter was en tirely cleaned up during the week. The official report of storage holdings of dairy and poultry products at Portland and Seattle compares with, a week ago and a year ago as follows: This THE: WgATH BR. f S U Wind. 3f J3 5- 2. .STATIONS. 3 Weatna B S I f ? -t -i C 3 3 j Murk Your xt Shipment of Poultry-Veal-Hogs BLUE VALLEY PRODUCE CO. 4 III and !.llan t I'ortlnnd, Or.

Indications of Increased Export Buying Are Also Bullish Fac tor During Day. CHICAGO, April 19. "Wheat advanced sharply In value today owinsr for the most part to unexpected higher quotations from Liverpool and - to enlargement of foreign buying on this side of the Atlatio. Clos ing prices here, although unsettled, showed 2e to 3 c net gain, with May $ 1.42 to $1.42 and July $1.25 to $1.25. Com finished 1 c to 1 o up and oats up c to lc In provisions, the outcome varied from 10c decline to 5c advance. Surprise over the course of the Liverpool market led to active competition for wheat offerings here at the opening, especially as the rise on iritisn exchange was ascnoea more or less to taiK or a brighter outlook for harmony at the Genoa eco nomic conference, A decrease of nearly 6,000.000 bushels in the amount of wheat on ocean passage was also regarded as a bullish factor, ana there was gossip of a serious drouth in Australia. Indications that foreigners were buvinz wheat here for July and September de livery tended later to give the market an additional upward swing and so. too, did estimates current that 1,000,000 bushels of wheat and 1,500,000 of corn had been taken at the seaboard for shipment to Europe. Moreover, 16 steamers carrying to clear from Fort William and Port f Arthur today and tomorrow. Blizzard reports from the northwest attracted some attention also as threatening further de lay to seeding of the spring crop. Unfavorable weather and export demand for corn did a good deal to strengthen prices of corn and oats. Packers' selling virtually nullified in the provision market the effect of higher prices on hogs. The Chicago grain letter received yes terday by the Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland follows: Wheat The contributing factors to to day's advance were composed almost en tirely of foreign advices, including a good advance in Liverpool futures, a decrease of 5,500,000 bushels in the amount of wheat on passage, a better milling demand in the United Kingdom and unfavorable crop news from many of the important pro ducing countries of Europe. Domestic de velopments were very much the reverse. All primary points reported cash trades slow with flour business virtually at a standstill and millers buying on a hand- to-mouth basis. Missouri river points were again offering wheat liberally and Omaha cash prices were two to three lower rela tive to the futures. Crop reports disclosed nothing new, the only complaints coming from sections where the condition has been known to be poor for some time. The present situation is a more peculiar one with conditions closest to us against higher prices and likely to predominate. There does not appear to be a proper outlet for cash wheat at the present price represent ed by the May. Corn Trade was much broader than it has been of Jate with considerable of the buying credited to seaboard interests against export sales which in turn stim- i ulated the outside investment demand. Export sales for the day were placed at 1.000.000 bushels. There was a moderate Improvement In the cash demand in the local market and the trading basis was about cent better than yesterday as receipts were small: It will soon be time to anticipate a good-sized after-planting movement from the count rv and unless the foreign demand keeps large, we doubt that bulges will be maintained. Oats lacked individuality and followed the lead of other grains. A little export business was done at the seaboard, but the amount was not large enough to be influential in the market. Receipts were estimated at 45 cars and the trading basis was firm with the domestic shipping de mand somewhat more active. Rye Trade small with longs liquidating on the hard spots and exporters accepting offerings on the recessions. The local cash basis was half a cent hieher to one cent i unaer May tor No. 2 on track.
