Th wheat market opened weak on a fractional decline in Liverpool cablea, but the latter advance there caused sharp advances with con siderable short covering. Foreign buy ers took advantage of the recent weak ness In American prices and bought hard winter wheat wherever It waa ob tainable. Tha fart that thara la an much damp grain thet must be moved at once has undoubtedly swelled the current receipts tar above the nominal corn la in lighter aupply in the local market than has been known at th) aeaaon In a great many year. Shippers ar having th greatest difficulty in getting cargo lota together and soma of them will be unable to meet their Au gust shipping contracts. Heavy rainfall and high winds through Iowa and alao portion of Wisconsin and niinot are creating considerable bullish sentiment In oata. There Is a good call for cash oata for shipment at prices H to 1 cent higher. Broomhaii cabled from Liverpool that he expected a heavy decrease fn Liver pool wheat stock tne coming week.

Harvesting In this vicinity la progressing satisfactor ily, but there Is such an enormous crop this year that farmers are having the time of their lives now. There are 20 combined harvesters and 16 threshing outfits running at lull blast in this dis trict. They expect to be through by October 1, weather permitting. A careful estimate places the amount of grain to be marketed at Condon thin fall at 600,000 sacks of wheat and bar ley. or 1.200.000 bushels wheat and 400. 000 bushels of barley. All wheat tested so far this season goes No. 1. Not one case of where any of the 1907 wheat tested less than 58 pounds, the average being 60 pounds. Fifty-eight pounds is No. 1: A great many of the farmers have contracted their wheat at 70 cents. About 85,000 aacks sold at that figure today. The recent hall and rain storms did no damage here. Ranchers six miles from here report no hail and very little rain. RAINS PUT STOP TO HARVEST WORK (Special Dispatch to Th Journal.) -Garfield. Wash.. Aug. 30.

Even the small number of grower who have contract and are eager to gather their hop crop this season are experiencing considerable difficulty In obtaining a sufficient cumber of har vesters. Not one of the large yards have more than half enough picker ta gather the crop In the usual time. Everv dav adds to the number of growers Who have decided not to pick their hops this season on account of the lack of encouragement In the price and offera of picking money. Yards ara be ing abandoned on every aid for this reason. Few vards show any matured hoc at this time, but all who can are hurrying the harvest with all possible speed to stop the destructive work of the ele ments. In some sections the quality could acarcely be better than ahown thla year, but In other place the stock Is so trnor that even In vears of good prices It would scarcely pay to pick the crop. Dealers hsve placed another 50,000 hundred weight on the crop of England within a single '24 hours In order to further muddle the growers. A feature of the present year Is that to date there haa not been a single sale of hops. Not a alngle bale of flggles hsa changed handa This Is a most ex traordinary eeurrence and shows the general lack of confidence In the market by the dealers. Votes by an Eastern Journal.
