Corrected Etch Day Giving the Wholeule Pricei of Commodities, Farm Produce, and Vegetable, PORTLAND, May 22,-Thc straw berry supply today was far from iufticient to meet the requirements of the trade, dealers generally reporting inability to fill order. Bad weather for sbmc day past has retarded ship ment from the South, and Oregon arc not yet ready for the market in a large way. With a few days' of warm weather bcrrie will be plentiful. To day California were quoted at $1.40 to $1,90 a crate and Oregon! at IS cent a pound. There was a firmer feeling in the potato market today, due to more favorable reports from the South, but no changes from the quotation of yesterday were announced. Jobbers are paying as high as 70 cents for select offerings, but stocks of the best are said to be pretty well cleaned up. Reports were of unusually light re ceipts of eggs today, and quotations on candled goods were raised a frac tion at the Board of Trade. On Front street the market was reported steady and practically unchanged, with 19 cents the top price for the best cand led stock. There is said to be but little out-of-town demand for eggs just now. y" " Tilt . - I I uram, riour, reeu. Wheat-Club, 82c; Valley, 82c; bluestem, 84c; red Russian, 80c.

Joyce. 180 Sullivan St., Claremont, N. H., writes: "About a year ago I bought two bottle of Foley's Kidney Cure. It cured me of a severe case of Kidney trouble of several years standing. It certainly is a grand, good medicine, and I heartily recommend it How Colts Aro Put Through tho Grand Morry-flo-rotmd. He was a big black beauty of a colt and Just as mean as be was handsome. Bronc had never been thoroughly bro ken by his former owner, and wben I first saw him be was In the hands of the beat horse breaker In camp, who was putting the finishing touches tools education. "They called this pony a' outlaw afore I took a-bolt of him," remarked tho broncho twister. "Shucks! Now adays ef a hoes bucks his caddie blan kets oflfn him the boys say: 'Outlawl Bad broncho! Guess I'll ride that old boss over yonder.' "I've sweated most of the ugliness outen him a'ready," continued the trainer. "He ain't got but one mean habit left, an today I'm a-goln' to lam him to fergit It" ' The mean bablt referred to was this: Wben Bronc decided to go straight ahead he'd go over rocks and down the steep banks of a wash, through cactus and tho well named cat's claw, and If the chollas pricked him or the curved claws of the brush snatched at his flanks he - would throw in some fancy bucking for good measure as he tore along. But turn? Never! The trainer took his rlata from the saddle horn and tied one end to the rope bridle or hackamore, fastening it securely under the Jaw. Then he pet ted the colt working toward its flanks, until the animal allowed him to reach the tall and fasten a loop of rope in its heavy strands. The free end of the rlata was passed through the loop in a way which would bring the horse's head and tall togeth er when tightened, and by passing tho rlata once more through both hacka more and loop it was prevented from slipping when released. "Now fer the grand merry-go-round!" announced the twister, and, standing away from the colt's heels, he pulled the rlata taut until the animal was bent nearly double. "Keep turnin' till I say you kin stop," be command ed, and in fact the bewildered creature was revolving like a top and painfully learning the old lesson of his race that man's will is law for the horse. We sat in the shade of a mesqulte watching him for twenty minutes or so, wheu the broncho twister decided that the stiff neck was sufficiently Um ber. When he mounted he discovered his error. The frightened horse danced and bucked with htm and finally tried to roll over the rider, who sprang from the saddle Just in the nick of time. But bis patience was by no means exhausted. "Here's a shore way to make 'em limber," he announced, and, picking up a large flat stone, he tapped the horse's neck for a few minutes steadily, but not with sufficient force to hurt him. "He'll feel that perty soon an find it easier to turn than brace his tender neck agin the reins." When the pony had been reversed that is, tied head and tail on theoppe slte side and allowed to rotate anoth er half hour, he was dripping with sweat and completely subdued. The broncho twister mounted, and the colt allowed himself to be ridden about the flat until he tangled in his trailing rlata and fell, the rider still on top. "Now we'll turn him loose an' see how be behaves hlsself," remarked the trainer, and, unsllnglng the ropes, he again mounted and rode the now tract able horse In circles and figure eights, wheeling and turning at will. As the trainer concluded, "I'd a heap sooner twist this critter's neck with a rope than have him break his back an' mine, too, over yonder cliff." Which was the Justification tf Bronc's hard lesson. Out West Bad Attack of Dysentery Cured. "An honored citizen' of this town was suffering from a severe attack of dysentery. He told a friend if he could obtain a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy, he felt confident of being cured, he having used this remedy in the West He was told that I kept it in stock and lost no time in obtaining it, and was promptly cured," says M.
