' , The wheat market la on the whole about unchanged from yesterday. It showed some strength early but the flullneas in every position overcame the firmness and the Improvement was lost The foreign markets show also only dullness. Primary .receipts are again a little under last year, wun an me lam of strength In the cash position, the cash markets are not active, and the de mand on the whole la not large. With the fine weather In the Northwest trade In that direction Is looking for an In creased movement We think It safe to conclude that thia will take place, and not only will the movement be larger, but the quality of the wheat will be bettor, aa there is more threshing now, There la some talk of better blda In ex. porters' hands. Should the export de mand materially Increase It will change the complexion of affairs, but unless it does' we doubt If the artificial domestlo situation will be able to maintain prloea. Cora About Unchanged. The corn market is about unchanged. It la extremely dull, with moat of the trade local and largely confined to scalping operatlonb. After a great de cline there la mora or less scattered buying for a rally. General conditions, however, remain unchanged. While of ferings from firat hands are still email, they ahow an increasing tendency, and the demand Is less than it was when prices reached their present level. The weather throughout the west is nna ror finishing the conditions and quality (of the crop. Corn may have some scalping reaction, but we are inclined to think we would sell it on the rlae. ' Oats a Shade Better. The oats market waa a ahade better. On the whole It waa very dulL There was some buying through brokers, which seemed to be the reinstatement of hold ings recently sold out. The caah altua- tkm Is slow and the market ehowa very little rallying power. We are Inclined to think oats, too, should be sold on hard spots. . Provisions Setter, Too. The provision market is a shade eas ler. It la a very dull market In every particular. Receipts of hogs at west ern mints are a little lesa than last year, but the demand is at no time up to expectations. We see nothing to break the monotony of the decline. PRICE OF PRUNES NOT SATISFACTORY OUTLOOK rOX TXZS SSASOW'S CBO tS AXTTXXXtt , BOT rATOBABM rOX TXBBBAXBBS-BAaTBXXSBS X0 XOT OAXB TO BUT BO XBA sox xxowx. :...-! - The outlook for prune prices Is Any thing but favorable at this time. Yields were in nearly all Cases larger than during normal seasons And the demand there seems to he no demand at all Whether the dullness In the Eaatern market is due to an oversupply of this year'a crop, a large carry-over from the previous season or becauae ' pricea are not satisractory is- a mystery 10 mi local men. One thing they do know and that is that they cannot aell their prunea. The quotations ruling In the prune market this season Is at leaat hi cent under that of a year ago and still there la no call for atocks. A well known prune packer of this city says of the aituation: "The condition of the prune market In the East la extremely bad. The wirea wo get from that section Indicate that there is no particular market at all for Italians. Prices this season are fully H cent a nound lesa than they were at this time last year and there Is a notice able decrease of orders. California Helped Last Tear. "One reason why the market Is In the present condition, in my estimation, la that California had no large sixes laat year, but this year the state's supply of that grade Is much larger. The. prin cipal call for Oregon Italians laat year waa on account of the shortage In sixes of the California crop. The California dealers put heavy premium on. anything larger than a 6Q-60, and thla fact made the demrfhd for Oregon more strong. "California carried over from last season about 800 oara of her estimated crop of 100.000,000 pound. The crop In that state during the present season Is estimated at fO.000,000 pounds, some shorter than the yield of last season, but very much better as fr as quality and sixes are concerned. X,arge Increase la Xorthwest Yield. "The yield in the Northwet during the present season amount to about 16,000,000 pounds, aa against 18,000.000 pounds during the preceding aeason. This estimate Included Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho. 'Another reason, in my estimation. why the quotations on prunes and the market is so dull is on account of the tighter money market in the East There have been so many slumps In the stocks of Industrial concerns lately that bank era have been caused to withhold their loans tp a large extent Jobbers are more conservative than they were a year ago, and Instead of speculating largely as they did during the past year they are now only buying from hand to mouth." Tew. Sales At Any -Price. Local packers are very gloomy over the outlook, and do not know what to think of the situation. The market, thla year opened at about t centa and a few aales have been made.

The Child Violinist (An Old Favorite.) He had played for his lordship's levee. He had played for his ladyship's whim. Till the poor little head was heavy. And the poor little brain would swim. And the face grew peaked and eerie. And the large eyes strange and bright. Ann tney said too late "He la weary! He shall rest for.' at least, tonlarht!" But at dawn, when the blrda were wak ing, : ' As they watched in the silent room. With She sound of a strained cord break ing-. A something snapped In the gloom. 'Twas a string of his Violincello. And they heard htm stir in his bed: "Make room for a tired little fellow. Kind God!" was the last that he said. By Austin Dobson. Savannah. United States.. Shanghai. China Southampton, England . . .

Again taking advantage of the dense mist which overhung the city Inst night ' two highwaymen robbed Elmer Hultgrer. , of three IS gold pieces. They accosted Hultgren near the streetcar barns on East Couch street. The methods employer by tne thugs ; were novel. On of them, according to , Hultgren's story, threw him down and , placed his foot on tha victim's neck - while the other searcnea uuitgrana pockets and took the money. Hultgren. who is a musician living at 609 Northruj street was calling on the East Side, and was on his way home' when he was accosted by the men at bout 9 o'clock. The taller man caught him about the throat and threw him to the ground". When the robber's foot became too heavy on the victim's throat , Hultgren seised hi leg and threw him off. This seemed to frighten the high-' waymen for they ran away and eacaped In the dark. Neither had a revolver and neither was masked. The treatment accorded tha victim- was very rough and when he appeared -"- at the police station he could scarcely , speak. Ha says he had more money which the robbera overlooked. From the method of their work the police think that It waa done by some of the roughs who Infest the East Side. Hultgren; says one was aoout i years or ago, but the taller was older. He could give but a meager deacrlptlon of his assail ants. . : .: As Mrs. Polly Putnam, of 483 East Pine street waa walking along Six teenth street, botween Waahlngton and Burnslde, at 6:30 o'clock last night a strange man slipped up behind her and snatched her purse, which contained 15. . The chain attached to the pocketbook ' was broken. The thief evidently was no novice for he did his work with de- - liberation. There were many people os the street at the time and although the sneak was followed some distance by A witness of the robbery, he escaped. "Old Xlokory Wast XaUatauk From Boston Herald. E. F.
