One of the Old Settlers—Visitor* OF MILTON FRIDAY, AUGUST 21 1903, general tendency is STRONG IN GRAIN MARKET. Livestock Market is Weaker and Marked by Several Pronounced De clines—The Green Grocers* Stuff Is All Cheaper Than a Week Ago_ A Few Staples Have Appreciated in Price. The local market is shifting but ir little things. One or two of the sta ple articles have jumped up a notch or two, but the rise has been little and usually comes at this time of the year On the other hand, most of the green things in the market have taker a tumble since this time last week, and altogether the scale is more to the liking of the housewife than it has been. The biggest change in the list is in the livestock scale, and the bottom seems to be loose in this part of the business. Cows have dropped from $3 per hundred to $2.65 and $2.75. and steers have gone from $2.G0 to $2.30 This is the lowest price that has held in the stock market for some time, and those who are dealing in that part of the business say that the low est price has not as yet been reached. The cause of the change is laid to the door of the scarcity of feed, and the consequent overcrowding of the range. Feed is at a premium and un less some of the cattle in the county are sold, all of them will come through the winter in poor shape, if they get through at all. The market is thus crowded and th»' price has fallen. Pendleton Retail Grocery Price*.

Aug. 20.—There is no im portant trading going on. business be ing done for some time past confined to suoplvins millers’ wants. Export ers are hardly prepart'd to trade ex tensively at present, even were there free offerings of wheat, it being rath er early to establish standards and prices. 'Wheat is coming to tide water in small lots, action movement here will hardly be in force before September 1. Some sections regard final results as above earlier anticipa tions. while on others the outcome will be poorer than expected, but on the whole the crop in Eastern Ore gon and Washington may be said to be turning out much better on thresh ing returns. In England values are depreciating on account of improved crop conditions throughout England generally. It is too early to give quo tations on new crop wheat, but prob ably 73 cents per bushel on dock here would be full export value. Mil lers are paying 5 cents premium above these figures; how long this will last is problematical. There is every indication that prices will hold firm, and many expect to see better quotations than those now prevailing. Few grain growers are anrious to sell, and th« majority are holding their wheat in the expec tation that the rise in price which be gan almost with the season’s opening bid will continue. Quotations are: Club. 76 0 78c; blue stem. 79081c; valley. 79c per bushel. Flour—The demand from the Orient continues good and millers are all satisfied with the way the new sea son opens up. Every steamer leavint- for the Orient has all available spac« taken up. The same is good until November, with good deman .. Not only China and Japan are in the mar ket, but reports say that Russia is also in need of flour, as stocks there have gone down to a low ebb. Cali fornia is taking fair stocks, as well as Central ard South America. Mill ers expect to use 17,000,000 bushel of wheat this season for export. If this is true, exporters will have very- little for export. Quotations are from $4 to $4.35 per barrel. Miilfeed—Receipts of millstuffs were light all last week, but the do mand was good and prices firmly held. Sales of bran were made on the basis of $22.50 per ton Most of the demand was from California, al though there was a good local de mand and from points in the interior.

J Owing to the extreme »-ut w<*at!>< r and the prevalence of slckn-'t tn the city, it Is probable that the opening of th»- city s< hoot* may be postp »red for a seek or two until it is cooler.

However, if it should tx-come cool by the 14th ot the coming month, th? school* will be opened on the regular time The time of the opening of the schools has been pUce-1 in the mid dle of September, for the very reason that it is generally the case that the hot weather has pa«««I tv and the cool days of the fall have cjme by that time. Owing to the location and the construction of the school buildings of the city, hot weather affect« the scholars here to a greater extent than might be expected. The build ings are low and placed where, dur ing a part of the day, the rays of the sun strike hard on the roof. When the room» are filled with children this heat is intensified and becomes most uncomfortable.

This delay would not be more than a week, how ever. The work at the various build ngs is progressing as fast as the men can get the materia) and make the changes, and it is expected that .»11 will be done by the time the day >( the opening comes around. Two of the basement rooms at the high school will be used by the pupils, owing to the overcrowding of the other buildings, and by the use of these it is thought that there will be enough room to accommodate all of the children that will attend THREE MEN IN UMATILLA The O.
