- Weakness la WkMk
The wheat market is weaker today
and mills are not so anxious to bur as
they were at the opening of the Season.
Front Street, fieri t. 4. There was con
siderable weakness In the local wheat
market today, neither the millers nor
'the exporters making any special effort
to buy at prevailing prices. The weak
ness has effected all of the Northwest
ern grades and if It should continue for
a few mors days, eventually prices will
gSJ lower. (
"The present quotations on wheat are
already too high for the millers to make
any profit on their manufactured prod
uct," said a large millman. today to The
Journal. "It la so high that at present
we do not really care to make any pur
chases at prevealllng quotations. The
price for some time has been much too
high for exporters to ' dabble ' In and
there can only be one result from this
and that is lower prices. Our enarket
here has been quite steady while the
markets of other large grain centers
has gone up and down several times;
generally down. Prices In this, country
are all too high for the Americans to
get their share of the foreign trade un
til such a tune a when the foreigners
have sold out or our prices are lowered.
This, at least for the former event, IS a
long ways off."
Eastern Sutter Has Arrived.
A email shipment of Eastern cream
ery buter has arrived in the local mar
ket but as yet has not dlsturBnd the
strength in the local article. The East
ern stock is of excellent quality and
easily compares with the home article.
Quotations oh both products are the
same. Local butter is growing more
scarce each day and today very few of
even the larger dealers had any supplies
on hand.

take a small amount of their stock out
of the cold storage Institutions. Some
of them have made efforts to get In
stocks of Eastern but ruling prices there
are about as high as here. Prices are
. firm at 23 cents a docen. The market
will advance providing receipts grow .no
larger within the. next few days. De
mand is active. The same old story
way lj said of the poultry situation
receipts very light and demand especial
ly for oJd hens very active. Prices are
unchanged. ...
Onion Prospects Are Bad.
The prospects for Oregon onions this
fall are now showing up very bright at
the present moment. California had a
large crop of onions this year and the
demand for shipping purposes thus far
has been anything but encouraging. The
stock from that state is not as good as
In former years but It Is expected that
a majority of the fall onion trade of the
'middle states will be done by that state
on account of the ability of its growers
to sell at lower prices than the Oregon
farmer. The demand for Oregon onions
la very small as yet and until the clos
ing out of the Walla Wallas at their
lower figure there Is not much to ba
said of local supplies.
Oregoa Onions Small Bixsd.
this year's Oregon onions seem to be
mainly of very small sixes but the qual
ity of the stock taken altogether is
much superior to any on' the coast.
Blight has struck the crop In some sec
tions of the Valley and. this may pre
vent a larger demand for shipping. ,
California Potatoes Are Higher. .
1 Alf grades Of potatoes are 6 cents a
hundred higher tn the San Francisco
market according to a telegram received
by Wolf A Bon from the head house in
that city today. River burbanks of the
better grades are quoted at 86 cents but
a large part of the stock Is going at 70
cents a hundred. Salinas, the better
grade, easily bring $1.60 and, 1.76 per
hundred. Oregon stock is slightly
weaker with the larger receipts and no
shipping demand. Prices are the same.
In the Produce Marks! .
, Watermelons and cantaloupes are slow
sellers. Peaches from he Dalles are
arriving In large supply while some
stock was received from Ashland today.
Grapes continue to slump In the market
with the too heavy receipts from Cali
fornia. A small shipment of tomatoes
from The Dalles was eagerly picked up
on the street this morning at top quota
tions. New California green figs arrived!
today and are quoted at $1.60 per 20
pound box. A car of sweet potatoes Is
due from Sacramento tonight.
. tight Meat Receipts.
The receipts of fresh meats today
were very small and the demand for all
storks is ruling strong.

lative dullness. Liverpool Is steady avll
there was a little better export business
reported today. Milling demand seems
still urgent every place except here and
all markets wheat is selling at relative
ly better prices than la Chloago. The
Northwestern Miller estimates the prob
ability of some damage to the condition
of wheat in the Northwest by recent
rains. On the other hand, Minneapolis
advices Indicate rather freer reodlpts.
The trade was disposed to even up over
the three days Intermission. We see
no change in the general conditions.
We don't look for any material decline

Chicago, Sept. 4. Tho Record-Herald
today says: Patten added at least 100,-
000 bushels to his oat holdings yester
day. His line is now certainly of re
spectable proportions, some millions of
bushels. The settling boys say the oats
ran very largely to the Patten house.
The bull leader has a very enthusiastic
following, made up largely of outsldo
commission traders. The Western man
is lending the best possible help by not
selling his cash oats. Receipts here are
very small. The story from the West in
regard, to the yield Is all of one sort:
small In bushels and light In weight.

Kansas City, Mo., Sept 4. The month
of September Is ' ushered In with big
prospects of- a good ran from the 'far
Northwest in both sheep and cattle.
The range shipments have been light
so far and the commission men of the
various markets of the Central West
Chicago, Omaha, St Louis, St Joseph
and Kansas City are confident that the
ernment report next Thursday will drop shipments this month should more than
the oats condition considerably. The mane up ror tna llgnt receipts so rar.
August per centage was 79.6 and there
are those who expect that the announce-
meet next Thursday of the condition of
oats to harvest will be under 75. The
development of light weight has been
a recent one. There Is a shortage from
Tom Clotworthy, one of the- heaviest

sheep and lambs.

the average in the oats weight of about Western Oregon before the season is
five pounds, something that would not

represent this falling off In weight.
September Beport Important
Not much attention has been given by
the wheat people ' to the approaching
crop report, but the September an

sibility of their extending further South
tonight. Conditions were not severe
enough, however, to broaden trade very:
much. There is no change in the cash
situation, or In local- conditions. Reports
regarding crops are just as connoting es
ever, but the time for repairing lost
ground is rapidly getting shorter. Ths
tone of the market Is strong. The
weather is not Of the best for rlpenfng
the crop and a change, for the better is
much needed.
Oata Closed Steady.
The oats market closed steady. There
n nothing in general conditions ana
there was more or less evening up In
view of the approaching holidays. The
cash situation was still a firm one and
Patten Is the chief speculative holder.
The provlslo nmarket closed again
Arm and higher. Receipts of hogs are
a little more moderate and prices at
the yards are better. The Improvement
n cash demand Is not so good but Is
something and speculative buying is of
much more general character than for
some time past. It Indicates a growing
confidence In ruling prices.

official reference of the season to frost.
The Washington prediction was for
"possibly" light frosts, for North Da
kota and Minnesota today. There were
low temperatures In the North of Mani
toba as low as 32 degrees at one point.
There were no seriously low tempera
tures in the corn belt. But the mere
mention of a possible frost jumped the
September price almost a cent and the
rest of the list a fractional. It fur
nished Intimation of scares in store for
the corn speculator during the uncer
tain weather of the next four weeks.
The provision talent this season al
most to a man Is bearish on corn. This
is a peculiarity of the situation. In
the contest over the corn price it. Is a
trial between the grain men and the
provision men largely. The explanation
probably Is the feeding situation. The
provision men so well understand the
losses -which has been made this season
In feeding high priced corn and so well
understands the disinclination of feed
ers to keep at it. Grain people who are
bulls on corn Ignore the feeding situa
tion and are influenced by their crop
theories and by their views as to the
probably advent of frost.

STsw Tork Summary.
New York, Sept 4. American stocks
In London are idle, a shade above parity.
Metropolitan earnings are a shade over
6 per cent on the guaranteed stock. Re
funding of Southern Pacific bonds In
1904 brings dividend In sight. Forty-
seven roads this week of August show
about cleaned out the, sheep men, and it
Is safe to say that the storm toox on
about one-third of the stock. The. snow
buried everything. It came, too, right
at lambing time and was twice as de
structive as it would have been at any
other time. The reserves the govern
ment is making is another drawback
to both the sheep and cattle men of
our country. They are cutting off the
open range and playing hob generally
with us. All kinds of stock this year
are doing well. Grass Is abundant and
the ranchmen will be making money."
Cattle Beosipts Beoreass.
There was a decrease of about 15,000
head in the cattle received last week at
this market as compared with the cor
responding week last year, but a gain
of nearly "7,000 ovr the total In the
preoedlng week. The supply aggregated
a little less than 60,000, against 62,000
the week before, and 72,000 a year ago.
Chicago had 65.000, a decrease of 4,400
as compared with the preceding week
and a gain of 6,000 over a year ago. The
five markets combined received about
114,000, against 196,000 the week before
and 202,260 a year ago.
The Increase in the movement to the
local market was almost wholly rangers,
too thin for dressed beef men, and the
loss as compared with a year ago Is In
stock grades. While the volume of
trade In atockers and feeders wes
greater than the week before, or for
several weeks, It Is fully one-third less
than a year ago at this time, and at
prices 76 cents to $1.26 lower than a
year ago. Few offerings of stockers or
