It la seldom- tbat bath.shickens and eggs ar moved alow ly at thrsaro time, but auch ba been tba case for the paat 10 days.

Weak. The poultry market has been grad ' uajly shoved down a few points since the first of the week on aooount - of heavy receipts and little demand. The poultry market has been weak. Many commission men started the week with coops left over from tha preceding Sat urday and the result were soon forth coming. Friday the market was flat but yesterday the men holding chickens had cleaned up pretty well. They were pot caught again. It la quite probable therefore that the nest week will start off more auspiciously. FRUIT RECEIPTS Lota of Fine Fruit In Front Street Displayed, bnt Demand Light. There have been notable receipt In - fruit the let- few day. -The commis sion men are beginning to experience the heavy day of fruit handling. Lot of fin fruit ha arrived and will ar rive within the next few day. Peaches, apples, apricots, berries of all kinds- and pesch plums are on the list of arrivals. The best fruits are now Just beginning to get cheap enough for general use and the housekeepers are ouying large quantities ro r canning. Apricots and cherries are dls&DDesr lna as also loganberries which latter have been hanging on unusually long thla season. In their places are com ing admirable crab applea from, The Dalies ana other early appiee. However, the recelpte have been larger than the supply, although the supply wiu su.w ui umpir iruiv ' arrtvaa. HARVESTERS CUTTING GRAIN IN THE WALLA WALLA -COUNTRY OREGON POTATOES Farmer - Should Pay Attention to Early Potato Crop. Demand came this week from Nome, Alaska, for potatoes that could not be lined, tuny matured early potatoes were asked "for and tha Oregon crop preferred. These potatoes had to be shipped on August 16, and there were 10 carloads, wanted. Oregon . merchants who received this order were compelled to pass it on to California, as they could not get the Potatoes in uregon. mey mignt poaai ly haVe scraped up a few care by dint of hard labor and extra effort but tha results would not repay the effort In this condition of affair -the mer chants are beginning to realise that the Oregon farmer should pay more atten tion to early potatoes than Is his wont Usually the valley grower plants a few potatoes and allows them, to take care of 'themselves until everybody else's potatoes are ripe. Then he dlga them up, hauls them to market and takes what' he can get for them. All the commission men deplore this condition and say universally that could this condition bs relieved the result would be most gratlfylngly apparent ' TOMATO RECEIPTS HEAVY Vegetables for Dinner Tables Arrlye for First Time This Week. Receipt in tomatoes were heavy dur ing the latter part of the week, even exceeding the demand. Some very fine regetablea were In stock from The Dalles and prices were beginning to drop.

Small wonder la it then that for mllea and miles every hill and hillside is cov ered with this Walla Walla wheat and for 10, yes in many Instances, 18 hours' of the day men toll, gathering this crop to feed a portion of almost every civil ised nation on earth.

WASHINGTON WHEAT CROP WILL BE ALMOST 40,000,000 BUSHELS (special Dlapatek to The JoernaL) Tacoma. July 27. The Washington wheat crop this season will be between 88,000,000 and 40,000,000 bushels, the largest the state ha ever produced. Stale Grain Inspector Arraamlth has re ceived reports from all sections of the Eastern wheat belt from whieh he com piles statistics of a most Interesting character to the people of the state. These reports show that there are ap proximately 1,800.000 acres of land In wheat in Washington. In Walla Walla county there ar 200,000 acres sowed to wheat; Whitman haa 40O.ortft acres, Adams. 876,000; Douglas. 276,000; Lin coln. 300,000, and Franklin, 200,000 acre Th wheat In Walla Walla coun ty will average, according to the re ports, from 26 to 80 bushels to the acre; In Lincoln, 22 bushels; in Frank lin. ZO buenele, ana in whitman ana Adams 28 bushels each. In Douglas county, where there were two crops of araashonoers and late frosts, the aver age 1 the lowest, being about 18 bush els to the acre. Th wheat thle season in addition to being the largest crop will also be the best grain ever proaucea m m '-"' Chief Deputy Grain Inspector King says thora will be no smut in it; that no drouths or hot winds have shriveled the grain, and that nearly all the wheat that rolls to market will be classed The farmers are, nevertheless facing the problem of harvesting at a time when there is an enormous scarcity of labor. Already harvest hands are at a great premium, and harvesting has hardly begun. With the great crop harvested there will still remain the additional problem of a scarcity of cars. This scarcity of rolling stock is already so pronounced that bljr exporting firms here are refusing to fix vessel to car ry away gram until-mey am mur that they can get their wheat to tide water. Due to a similar scarcity of cars last season several exporting firms here had to pay excessive demurrage charges on vessels chartered and which could not be loaded.

There was a further slight decline in the cotton market today. Evidently a good crop is expected. Quotations by Overbeck & Cook com pany: they did not deny that these might aft erward develop such conditions from present indications as to Justify the action of this market. Foreign mar kets were all lower except Paris, which wss up He. Antwerp also was slightly higher. Liverpool was from H to c ower for futures, ivocal receipts were 93 cars, compared with 660 last year, and shipments were 208,000 bushels. th greater part of the latter being No. 2 red, consigned to New York. Minneapolis and Duluth received 278 cars, against 175 the like day In 1908. Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour 600,000 bushels. Corn Independent Continued favorable weather for corn started trading a trifle lower than it closed yesterday. No such material weakness was displayed, however, as was for a time depressing the leading cereals. Trade was largely confined to scalping operations among the local pit traders. Receipts at Chicago were only 166 cars, compared with 164 re ceived the similar day last year. Ship ments were 803,000 bushels; last year 661,000. Liverpool reported futures lower. Slightly easier at the opening, the oats market showed considerable strength when the other grains atarted to assume a bullish front. Local re ceipts wsre still of the same light vol ume that Indicated the almost entire exhaustion of the previous crop. In the market for hog products, the lack of animation ga.ve slight oppor tunity of judging what might have been the result of general trading. Prices were fairly steady with a narrow trade. Local run of hogs was 17,000 and prices were 6c lower. Estimate of Monday's local receipt 41,000, and for the next week 135. 000. The total re ceived her th present week was 122, 000 head.

New York, July 87. The market thl week has kept on at a leisurely pace with the Improvement which net In a month ago. There has been no explana tion or. speculation to account for the rise in prices. It cannot be suld any more now than it could at any previous stag of th movement that the outside Bublle hav Interested themselves in io proceedings or that the buying of stock ha come to any appreciable ex tent from Investment of capital. Un doubtedly th movement Is receiving actlv support from several powerful f roups of financiers. But the opera Ion o far have failed to attract much of a following spart from the occa sional trading. Probably a very large majority of the habitual operators have been skeptical of th rise at the outset Some of them have operated and lost money, other have gone along with It reluctantly, always prepared to Jump quickly on th first signs that the pro pelling power is giving out The opin ion is everywhere expressed that stocks may be put up In the manner they have this month for some time longer, but that there Is only one object in view, and that is to sell as much as possible. Conditions More Auspicious. Several points may be made which have a forcible significance for the nearer outlook. In the first place, the present has been selected for efforts on the aide of higher price because condi tion, according to expert judgment, ware more auspicious. Th market a month ago bad been thoroughly llauldated and prices were unduly low. There was a large margin for advance accordingly on the simple law of reaction. Besides this, the out side situation at the- end of June was in many respects decidedly brighter then a month or six weeks previously. There was a notable Improvement in crop pros pects, the money market gave promise of continuing easy for some time ahead. and with th adjournment of congress and the state legislatures there was not the same rear as formerly or fresh as saults upon corporate Interests. Even the most incredulous observers may therefore admit that an excellent basis haa existed over this month's up ward movement In Wall street. Wheth er or not the clouds will gather later on, the outlook Is for fair weather and plain sailing for another month to come.
