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.

Portland. 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.

Per mittee Appointed to Present the
Claims of Oregon Stockmen—Live
stock Exhibit to Follow Dairy Test
n October. 1905.
George Chandler, of Baker City,
lember of the state board of agricul
are. and one of the most prominent
kmen in Eastern Oregon, passed
n rough yesterday evening en rout«
tome from a meeting of prominent
t-x-kgrowers of the Northwest, which
■ as held in Portland last Saturday
evening.
The meeting was called for the pur-
ose of presenting the claims of th«
livestock industry of the Northwest
:o the Lewis and Clark Fair commis-
-cn. for appropriations and space.
Among the Oregon stockmen who
attended the meeting were: J. M. At
,-inson. Newburg; Thomas Withy-
ombe, Farmington; C. D. Minton
Salem; E. H. looney. Jefferson; A
'halmers. Centerville; Joseph Withv
ombe. state agricultural college. Cor-
aliis: M. D. Wisdom, Portland: N

Houten. Hay Creek; C. A. Westgate.
Albany; J. M. Flaherty. Plainview;
K. Scbmitaz. Shubel; Ed Shull. Al
any: R. Scott. Milwaukie.
It was unanimously decided by the
meeting to ask the officials of the
Lewis and Clark Fair for an appro-
. riation of $100.000 to defray the ex
penses of an exhibit of stock and a
• orking dairy test at the Lewis and
’lark Exposition. A committee reprv
renting the stockmen will represent
he request to the board of drector*
nd the state commission.
This committee is composed of the
oilowing men: Robert Scott. Oswe-
o; Thomas Withycombe. G. W
’Kamberlain, C. M. Cartwright. A. J
Splawn. of North Yakima, and J. L.
-Imith. of Spokane.
It is the intention of the fair coni
missioners to hold the livestock aho»
luring the first two weeks of
October. 1905. following the da ir}
test. This arangement has beet
uggested in order that the stock
brought to Portland to enter the dairy
ontest may immediately enter lh<
eneral livestock exhibit, without de
ay and expense.
A division of the fund ished for
by the stockmen is suggested ai
ows: Horses. $20 500; beef settle
45.000; dairy breeds. $15.5l>0; sheep

■1 500; swine, $7.500; poultry, $5,000 ;

It is expected that stockmen ali
’hrough the Northwest will use the!)
nfluence with the fair board to *e
ure this amount for a fair presenta
ion of the industry. Space and ac
ommodations will be plentifully sup-
plied for all exhibits.
