"Efgi are acarce and higher
and It look a If receipts would
ran behind for awhile.,
"Butter 1 coming In more
freely and we consider the con
dition much weaker for all
grade.
"Poultry ta alao weaker with
a better demand for fancy hens
than for spring chicken. The
latter have been In very large
aupply of late and the demand
for them haa alaoked off ma
terially. Laxge aprtng duck
are In good demand and the
trad doe not get all It needs
of them. Large spring geese
are alao good aellera and the
trad can ua more of them. Fat
hen turkey are In demand and
large spring turkey are being
Inquired for. I do not look for
Chicken the coming week, al
though a good many will be
wanted, especially hens.

Chicago. Aug. 80. 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.

HARVEST IN FULL BLAST.
Practically All the Wheat Tested at
Condon Goes as No. 1.
(Special Dlipatcb to The Journal.)
Condon, Or., Aug. 80. 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.

Wash.. Aug. 30. A heavy
downpour of rain last night has com-
fletely stopped all harvest work for

from near-by machines who have come
to attend the Jesse James show, which
Is to be here today. A general feeling
depression rules among the farmers.

WILLING HOP GROWERS .CANNOT .
GET PICKERS
By Hymen H. Cohen.
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.
