Chicago, Sept. 21. Logan A Bryan ad-
vlie: The wheat market la about IVi
centa lower. 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

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

On the whole, cash prlcea are firm.

. Chicago, Sept 21. The Record-Herald
today says:
The wheat movement to market last
week was better than expected, but It
was less than last year. The bad weath
er in the Northwest haa led to the ex
eectatlon of a notably small marketlna
of Spring wheat temporarily. The break Oregon hops this season promise 10

American exports, only 1,909.000 bushels, will be much shorter than that of last
and the smallest In four years. Few
people know abaolutely the export situ

ment of sales or demand give only an
uncertain idea of demand from abroad or
the lack of it. The plain statement of
clearances la something definite snd un
equivocal. The falling off In the exports

to let the opportunity slip through their
Angers to buy stocks sufficient to last
them for the entire year at the present

. Corn Bad Prost Bxpartsae.
The corn market had the frost ex
perlence It had decided for so long, but
like all anticipated expectancies, it waa
riot aa dreadful as expected. The long
wait had led to general preparation In a
general way. There was such a general
covering in advance of -the freese. the
market advanced not much over 2c on
it. Last week's corn prices on the scare
were not quite as high as they sold In
the middle of August. The rally was
speedily lost and at the close corn was
at tht lowest level aince July.
Oats have been holding better than
other grains. The countryman has not
been shipping. The receipts here have
been so small and the cash prlcea have
held so well that the bull speculators
have had.jio trouble holding the futures.
The eastern demand haa been poor In
tha territory between here and the sea
board, and has been selling cheaper than
Chicago.
Speculators In provisions generally are

The trouble Is not with the dealer.
for he Is doing all In his power to land

that his hops are worth more money,

If the market does reach that figure a

likely to hold for an even 30 centa.
The crop In Oregon thin year will
amount, all told, to about 70,000 bale,
while the yield of a year ago waa 87,600
bales. This year the supply of choice
will very likely only reach 24,000 bales,
while a year ago nearly all of the hops
graded choice. Tha prime will amount
to about 26,000 bales, and the moldy

the remainder. Prices for the prime

the green and moldy stocks may per

"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. The association now controls
bout 85 per cent of the citrus fruits of
California." " .;

The" standard certificate of health of
the census office, which was recently
adopted at a convention of the health
authorities in the East, la now coming
into use in Portland. It provides a uni
form blank for death certlflcatea and
embodies a concise and complete form
for recording the data required by the
uthoritles In the demise reports.
The new style of blanks does not meet
ith popular approval here and It I
likely that the health board will retain
the old death slips, as they are said to
be superior In many ways.

SON ARRESTED FOR
KILLING HIS FATHER
(Journal Special Service.)
Prtnevllle. Or.. 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. It Is now as
sured here that a resolution will be In
troduced In the T'nited States senate
shortly after it convenes asking that
President Roosevelt explain why he has
always been willing to accept the ser
vices of railroad and transportation
companies In his Jaunts about the
country. - '
The resolution wilt call attention to his
trip to the Pacific coast that eovefe'd
22.000 miles and was made at an por
moua expense without a cent of eoat
to himself or party.
The resolution will be backed up by
several conservative Republican senators
who do not believe that the dignity of
the chief executive should be lowered by
placing himself under obligations to the
trusts. -4 .
