THE nun 'MR Price Goes Up 10c Barrel Today Wheat Market Shows Steadiness Wjjh Many Foreign Sales Reported. The Portland Flouring; Mills Company Sits morning advanced the quotations on :heir several brands of Valley Hour. The rise will amount to 10 cents a barrel, md was caused by the continued short -tg'? In the water supply; most of their ipper river mills being run by water. The new quotations will also have the tffect of easing: the demand for this grade f flour, and "will make a sharper c:i II for Eastern Oregon or hard wheat varie ties. WHEAT STEADIER.

There is no Light as Convenient As Economical Nor as Safe as WHEAT (Kill I III Is Pouring Into Windy Gty the Gloomy Reports Thought a Scheme of Big Operators. to Be Furnished from Special Wires to Bolton, de Ruyter A Co.. 102 Third Street. CHICAGO, Nov. 13 The Record-Herald suvs: "There was a cargo of wheat in from Duluth yesterday of 84.000 bushels and there ha.s been a cargo in each day this week. There were about 1 00,000 bushels each. Within a fortnight there has ai -lied by hike front Duluth l,0.'2,0u0 bushels of wheat. "There were three cargoes in the lat ter part of October. So far us shown by the records, there has been received 1. 333.000 bushels of Duluth wheut within four weeks. No one knows Just how this will appear In the public stock. The tiade theory Is that this choice Duluth grain will be blended with spring wheat now here in the private houses and which Is being held for toning up pricess before presentation to the Inspection department as No. 1 Northern. The uuantlty of con tract wheat which will result from the blend yWlth the Duluth grain depends on the ipiallty of spring wheal which needs helping out. If this Is of a fairly good quality the Duluth grain will go a long way. If the Chicago wheat is of poor quality the Duluth will need to be used liberally. "The contract stock of wheat here last week was 2.877,000 bushels. Cash peo ple al predict fc.ooO.ooo bushels ranrr by the end of next month. If Armour un dertakes a serious bull campaign in wheat it is possible that some of the wheat may be sent out before the close Of navigation. ThoVe has been canslderuhle business done here of late and not reported, especially all of it. by Armour. The cash oats situation is improving somewhat. The East Is tuning with more courage and nut only carlots but round lots sre being sold. The change shows that the East has gotten rid of the oats it was hindered with all through August. Sep tember and October. There is no bull sentiment here as yet. There is a stock of 1.633. i"M bushels standaid. which none of the oats people want. They would prefer lo buy the No. 4 white and make the standard themselves. The oatmeal group appears In the market and sells Ibe -May. whcnuyexJA sJux&'a jsUtUgH),Xh old-time outs bulls have apparently soured on the market because they suy the standard has not been maintained. That government estimate of 9X8,000,000 bushels has had Its Influence. Yet there are-a 'few bulls who dare to predict higher prices. Some of them say the elevator people are taking the quality down and passing out only the poorest because the oats pay so well to cany they do not want to lose them. "The falling off In the wheat arrivals at Kansas City and St. Louis was the Inci dent In the wheat news yesterday, only 13.000 bushels ut those two points com pared with 610.000 bushels for 48 hours ut the same points the week previous. Yesterday's primary receipts were the smallest for Wednesday In four weeks. 1.312.000 bushels, compared A'lth 3,490.000 bushels for a double day. the Wednes day previous 1.245.000 December 29. and 1.428.000 bushels October 22. Everything suggests the maximum of receipts at Western points has been passed." Armour Straddles. CHICAGO. Nov. 13 Cables Indicate nothing but dullness. Armour was sup posed lo be on both sides of the wheat market yesterday and appeared to be buy ing May and selling December. It is gen erally thought contract stocks will be at least 600.000 bushels. The first Decem ber wheat still looks like a scalping mar ket. The tone of coin continues heavy. Country sells May and there evidently Is some pressure on the increasing move ment. Short interest is large, but buying seems to have no leadership and Is scat tered. Provisions are soft on the declin ing .price of hogs. The-Duluth Commercial -Record says: "Wheat crop of the Northwest may figure up 200.000.000 bushels. Jones of the Commercial West estimates It as 175. 000,000 bushels." Manitoba Is Up. WINNIPEG. Nov. 13 As a result of the efforts of the Canadian Northern Railway to move this year's crop the Manitoba farmers are today receiving (i cents more for wheat than at the close of last week.. This advance is based on the statement made by the Canadian North ern that it -"could now receive regular in stallments of several hundred more cars than it has had under contract nnd that It is the intention of the company to handle all offered at points along its line and haul same to the lake before the ( los ing of navigation. Wheat Grows Well. NEW YORK. Nov. 13. The Price Cur rent says: yVheat sh.ows a generally fine growth nnd the weather Is favorable. Fly reports continue thickest In Illinois nnd Western Indiana. Corn is curing slowly. Quality varies widely. Country disposed to sell fall pasture good, packing 540.000 against 685.000 last year." Scheme Is Suspected. NEW .YORK, Nov. 3. The. Chronicle says : . "In trading circles speculative comment has become se pessimistic as to move ob servers of long experience w ho feel the outcome of existing demoralization Is to be a big rise to almost question the exis tence of the situation's strong features. They ask with sarcasm. Ls the increase of $500,000,000 in the value of crops raised this year, as compared with last, a fact or is It a myth? Is there a torn crop of 2. 600.000. rii.it) or Is there a crop failure? And are the railroads blockaded with fretgnt or -rutrrng rates to get it? It is pointed out that In present campaign ad verse conditions have been heralded upon with a persistency that makes for the suspicion In this which have systemati cally disseminated such gloomy views anent the financial situation, expansion of loans and movement or money Troth banks to the treasury are the very ones who are absorbing the stocks.

No meetings of the Loul Society the subject in been tuberculosis, e- I.! At all recent i State Medical h discussed has tally its rapid spread among the nes1"' "- There has been an nnio .-incut as re gards the disease among ihe whiles, owing to better sanitary pn-caui tons, but the doctors warnlngly pointed out that this Improvement could not long continue If the infection remained pi. va lent among the negroes, who cousittm.- practicujly all the domestic servants The mortality from i iiborc ulosis among the negroes of New (0 I. ana Is four times as great as among in. whites; in the cuurury pariah., It is uuu six to tea times as great. What is worse is. that while the dis ease is growing less precaleut among the whites and the mortality is lower, tu berculosis la spreading among the negroes and is nearly twice is prevalent among them as It Was twent) v.-ars ago. The doctors all agree that the most serious negro problem confronting the white to day Is the sanitary condition of the negro race. At the Shreveport meeting of the Louis iana Medical Society it was stated by doctors who practice mainly in the black families and among the negroes that at the present rate of increase of tuln-rcu-losis among the negroes of Louisiana it was simply a question of time when the disease would completely exterminate the race and thus by Itself solve the negro question. f-flnw doeOT' fWrt-rrer -sprecS " thaT 'The' disease presented many different charac teristics among the negroes and among the whites. In the Caucasian it was chronic. In the negro acute, being what is popularly called galloping consumption. It is sudden and volcanic, its duration be ing measured In months, whereas among the whiles It is Insidious and frequently lasts for years. Another marked differ ence In the two races Is that the white patient Is hop.-ful tHroughout the disease, while the negro is hopeless from Ihe be ginning. Among the white In Louisiana 25 per cent of the eases recover and 00 per cent improve under nood treatment. Dr. J. M. Barrier, of Richland Pwrlsh, declared that he had In his long practice seen improve ment in only two negrwes suffering from consumption, and both of these were mu hittoes. He had never seen a full-blooded negro survive .nsumptlon more than 12 months. Repot is from 80 physicians showed that tin per cent of the negroes treated by them for consumption died within the year, mid'only an infinitesimal fraction showed any Improvement. The doctors agreed that the spread of consumption among the negroes was due to Irreguhtr habits a,rd overcrowded and unhvgicnic sui i . .iindl.igs. The negro can -at or fast, sleep or not. :is (If whit.- n . i can not. If a i.egro has plenty he can outeat any white num living, if time- .,! hard he can outdo Tanner.

Frederick Sandstrum, a former Port land man, has arrived from the Nome country to spend the winter In civiliza tion, lie ls an extensive operator on Ore gon Creek, about 26 miles back of Nome. He reports that the past season has been one of the most productive in the his tory of that section. He was a passen ger on the steamer Ohio, which met with stormy weather. He stated but for busi ness delays he would have Sailed on the Oregon, which left two days before, and up to this time has not arrived In port. As Bhe is an old and unseaworthy craft, he fears that she could not weather the gale and ls now at the bottom of the ocean. - CONDITIONS IN THE NORTH. In speaking of the situation In the mines, he said: "Nome this season, with the outlying districts, produced in the neighborhood of $7,OtM00O, which Is a great Increase over the production of previous years. In the early history of the camp things were very uncertain, most of tbe property being in litigation, and no one was encouraged to spend money in substantial development. Now the controversy of titles has been set tled and capital has stepped in, and vast sums of money are being expended In wresting the yellow metal from the frozen sands. At first only such ground as could be easily worked was operated, with the result that only the shallow surface diggings produced. Now the era of deep mining has commenced. New discoveries will be made from year to year, and the output will increase cor respondingly. Ophlr Creek, which was at first overlooked as a bad one. has proven to be one of the richest in the country. Out of one cltUm which was puron&sed for $3,000 last sprtng over $250,000 were taken out last summer." THE COMMERCIAL OUTLOOK. "The opportunities for a big trade be tween the North and the Coast are mag nificent. Oregon is In a position to con trol the situation if they would wake up and take advantage of the situation. The state has foodstuffs of every kind that are in demand In ths North. They can compete without any difficulty. In the line of cereals, flour, fruits, vege tables and meats, they have a decided advantage in the production and facili ties for shipping. In the line of cloth ing and blankets, the Oregon production is famous. As It now stands, Seattle and San Francisco control this trade, not by natural vantage ground, but by be ing awake. Now, as far as I am con- rm'ij:n'vnHTiiH?dn"oSiAC of suplles and provisions in the spring which will amount to about $20,000. I prefer to make my purchases in Port land, and have no doubt but -what I could be outfitted here cheaper and more satisfactorily than at any other point. But the people here are not in a posi tion to deliver the goods from their harbor. Rather than fool around and ship goods about the country to some other port. I prefer to ship from where things are sent direct. Portland could do a good business with a line of steam ers to the North, but they have not the enterprise to enter a field and compete with lines that are established, and which are making big money through the timidity of the Portlanders. If they had the nerve to get In and take a chance there would be nothing to it." TWENTY MILES OF NEW ROAD Northern Pacific Lets Contract for Extension in Washington.
