Oermea Is higher, while the quotations on Wheatlne baa advanced 30 cents a case. The hay market is firm, especially tim othy.' Middlings have dropped 60 cents a ton. Onions Oo Higher. Scarcity of onion stocks has caused a slight advance in the local market, but with a resumption of the movement to this market prlcea will undoubtedly go back to former lists.

There was further qolet generaU liquidation and a good deal of pressur from short selling. Fine weather throughout the West and Northwest was the principal depreaaing factor. Primary 1 recelpta are a little I ens than last year, and the expecta tions are that they would Increase. The cables were conflicting. There seemed to be a little more cash activity In the different markets, and there were ru mors of pretty fair export business. The prospfect of "the closing down of the Minneapolis mills on account of the ewt; strike helped the selling. The visible Increased rather more than had bean expected, and there was a small Jn- rreane on passage. We see nothing 10 change our views that for some weeks to come the market will probably have a dragging tendency. At the moment, however, after five daya' consecutive break and 5 cents per bushel lower prlcea, a reaction la probably due. The pressure of immediate liquidation must be pretty well over, and It would not take much in way of export demand or a few clouds In the Northwest to bring It about. New York Just now report 75 loads taken for export. Cora Closed Baary. The corn market closed heavy and 1 cents lower. Continued flne weather In the corn belt was the depressing In fluence. Bo far -complaints of damage by the recent frosts are few and faint. There Is a better cash demand and corn Is being taken quite liberally for shipment. The weather, however, is tho Liquidation In corn, too, has been quite general, and It would seem if at least a scalping re action is due. Oats Fractionally Down. The oats market is fractionally lower. The weakness seemed mainly in con nection with to tireajr -rn f ofh ar.d wheat. As compared with these mar kets, oats were fairly steady. Patton Is still a large holder and his holdlnaa Coata are sufficiently great to b a factor in maintains; prices. There are no In dications yet of liquidation by him. On the whole, cash prlcea are firm. Provisions Irregular and Sown. The provision market closed irregu lar but lower. The large packing in terests are a factor in making prices. The market is kept by them in a more or less artificial condition most of the time. For thla reason general outside business Is small.

In the interest of the fruit business. He says: "The orange crop of California this season will be a record breaker. The trees are laden with fruit, and tha sizes this season are very likely to be right. If nothing happens the orange shipments pr California this season will reach be tween 28,000 and 80.000 cars. The northern section alone will ship about 2,ooo cars, an increase of at least $00 cars over any previous year. There are yery few oranges left In California and all the late Valencias remaining will not go over ISO cars. The growera are holding their stocks for October and November shipments with the intention of getting higher prices. The entire fruit outlook In California this season was excellent and the gTtrwers Tnave en Joyed a most prosperous year. With the exception of a small amount of cling and lata October peaches and a few. grapes the supply of citrus fruit In California Is out.

Sept. 21.-A division of opinion concerning the guilt of C. M. Dunkle of Deschutes, exists here. Young Dunkle waa arrested Friday for the murder of his father, who was found buried under three feet of earth over which a fire had been built. The son was one of the party who discovered the remains. He was arrested because sus picion was directed to hlro from the fact that he practically led the searching party to the place where the old man's body was found, and also because he had been known to frequently quarrel with his father. Dunkle does not deny quarreling, but says he can account for every minute of his time from the day his father disappeared and when he was discovered burled In the hastily made grave. The murdered man s money naa disap peared and it is believed the murderer took it. MUST ACCOUNT FOR " HIS LITTLE JAUNTS (Journal Special Service.) Washington, Sept, 21.
