The onion crop at Walla Walla Is
about exhausted, and the crop In the
laklma alley Is a liKht one. Reports
from California are conflicting;, and it
Is probable the association will send an
agent to that state to Investigate con
ditions. A. J. Fanno was re-elected president
f the association for the ensuing; year,
J- N. Miller was chosen secretary and
W. M. Schoffer treasurer.
NO IMPROVEMENT IX CHAIN MARKET.

Kmporiees.
There was no improvement in the
grain m.irket situation. Trade was
lixrht and the undertone was weak. Kx
porters are not keen for wheat while
the foreign markets remain so de
pressed, and are taking; on very small
quantities. I-ower prices were quoted
by shippers yesterday.
Oats and barley were quiet and weak.

CHICAGO. Sept. 17. Extensive cov
ering of short wheat seemed to have
declined the market here. Slmultane
otisly there was strength in Europe due
largely to a lct-up in Kusslan offerings.
The fact that primary receipts were
nearly, 2.400,000 bushels less than for
the corresponding week last year, had
considerable bearing on the Improved
demand for cash wheat. The South
west. In particular, reported liberal
sales to Kastern mills. On the bull
side, too, were a well-known crop ex
port's figures putting the total yield of
Inter and Spring wheat In the Lnlted
States at U4.000.000 against the Gov
ernments September Indication of 67d
OOO.ooo. Earlier In the day the market
hnd been weakened temporarily by an
estimate from another source that the
crop In the Dakotas and Minnesota is
S.ooo.ono larger than had been deduced
from the Government report. Foreign
strength, however, encourtrged buyers
and helped force shorts to cover as the
market advanced. Decehiher ranged
from i94 to 1.00, with the close c
up at 51.00 V,.
Splendid, weather made corn easy.
No. 2 yellow cash closed at 55', ?55-ac
December fluctuated between 62c and
5.1c and 53 He. and closed steady at
63 c. a net loss of 4c.
Diminished receipts caused oats to be
Independently firm. December varied
from 35 c to SSTsC. and finished "c up
at .15 c.
The end of the day left pork 2 He to
l!4c down: lard 2Uc higher to 10c off.
and ribs ranging from last night's fig
ures to TVac decline.

Decrease.
The Financier will say:
The statement of the associated banks
of the City of New York for the week
ending September 17 was. in as far as
cash decrease is concerned, a little more
favorable than had been anticipated. The
known operation of the banks Indicated
a loss of about 36,OOV,ooo In specie and
legals, on account of shipments to the
interior and operations with the sub-
treasury. The statement of actual condi
tions, however, showed a decrease in cash
of only 33.837.8oO.
The Important feature of the statement
was an increase ot Jli.wo.soo in loans,
due, probably, to crop financing, prin
cipally to meet the needs of the South.
Deposits, by reason of the changes noted.
Increased 311.449.600. and as this called
for additional reserve, the reserve on all
deposits fell 36,700,000. making the present
surplus above the 25 per cent require
ment 321,369,1.0. which is above the aver
age for this season.
Owing to the demand for bills, the
banks are increasing their circulation, the
expansion during the past fortnight hav
ing been more than 32,000,000.
The summary of state banks and trust
companies not reporting to the New York
clearing-house showed, as a most im
portant change, an increase of 31.500.000
in cash and over 32,000.000 In deposits,
loans having remained stationary. This
gave rise to an Impression that clearing
house banks were taking on themselves
the burden of new loan commitments.
