Cohen. Whlla (iraaon. Idaho and Washington wll not have quite 60,000,004 bushels of wheat this season, the total of the pro duction will come so close to that figure that the estimate made four months ago can soarcely be changed. , . Careful Inquiry among the larger mil lers, the smaller millers, warehouse men and grain growers of all sections of the northwest give the total production of the three slates about 68,600,000 bushels of wheat. While these figures are not exactly what tha final moving of the crop would show, they are about as close as tan be estimated at any other time But little of the wheat crop remains to be taken care of and this amount can be quite safely estimated at this time. vt-nm lrnra furnished hv fhe best men In the grain business and from personal examination of some of the best sec tions, 68.600.000 bushels can be safely taken as the true yield of the Pacific northweat for the season or isui. Yield XS a aurprlse. The wheat yield of the northwest this seaaon was a record-breaker. It sur prised even the growers themselves who had come to believe that the crop wou d be a heavy one. The weather aa a whole has been about aa perfect for the grow ing crop aa could be secured sny place on earth. While there were periods dur ing which the grain sunerea siignuy, n damage of consequence waa caused by climatic conditions except in the mid dle of the harvest, when rains ,n1tF: fered. Even this damage was of alight moment when the year's figure are gathered. . Taken as a whole, too, the weather conditions of the year have been most perfect from a quality point of view The bulk of the Oregon. Washington and Idaho crop of wheat this year w 1 break the world's record for fine quality, the amount of grain grading under No. 1 be ing normal in comparison with the total prTherVneVer was a time, nor there never was a locality that produced a pl?fect yield of any product that de fended upon man or the climate to make. The wheat crop of the Pacific L th.rofnr comes as close to being perfect as "possibly eould without reaching: mat go " been discovered. Even the much-heralded wheat-growing sections Of the Dakotas and other hard-wheat produc ers cannot compare their product with th Ae'..?.r,An" ".oa veSanew under standing this year when samples began to come from the nearby wheat fields. Heretofore there were regular grades that were hard, others more hard and atlll othera very soft This year soft wheat is hard to find because the grades seem to have Intermixed In some way and wheat that usually la very soft Is this year about as hard as the ordinary run. Much, Weeita for rrodaeers. Wheat producers of the northwest will this year receive more money for their wheat than ever before. Up to this time most of the wheat has been sold for foreign account and In many tnstances the prices paid have been from 1 to 3c a bushel over the regular printed quotations. This condition is due to tne fact that exporters had a very wide range to work upon this sea son. In order to get the wheat, how ever, most of them are offering within a fraction of their limits. This has forced millers to pay the same sum. IDAHO HARVEST ENDING. Little Wheat Remains to Be Gath eredFarmers Recrlye Big Price. Specll Dlpitcb to Tbe Journal.) Moscow, Idaho,, Sept. 28. The present week ought to se the finish of the harvest of 1907. In the Moscow sec ton the work Is about done, only a scat terinar field or untnresuea grmn uein visible here and there, practically every thin has been saved, and when th final balance Is struck It will be found that the loss from the rains has been much lesa than was anticlDated. Prac tically no wheat was lost barring, of course, the narrow path or tne nan storms and but little damage was done to that which was saved in tne wors condition. A small percentage Of the oats was slightly stained, but as a rule the crop was saved In prime condition. Red wheat is now bringing 70c in the Mos cow market, with two or three cents better for club or blue stem. Oats are worth 11.05 per hundred. Farmers are beginning to turn the! attention to next year s crop. Home wti have finished their harvest have already begun their sowing of fall grain on sum mer fallow, while many are preparing to start their plows. The rains which fel In Aucust and the earlv part of thl month have put the soil In Ideal condl tlon for fall plowing, and a continuance of the present weather conditions means tnat a large acreage win na sown mis rail. This year's cron has been a bountiful one and the high prices prevailing for both grain and hay have made the farmer very prosperous. ' Most Wheat Is Cut. Lewlston, Idaho. Sept. 28. Better than nine-tenths of the crop in the vl clnlty of Nes Perce has been cut and mors than half of U threshed. Farmers estimate the total yield of the prairie alone at 4,000,000 bushels. The grain is of the finest quality and shows no Indications or havlnsr been injured by the rains, as the clear, warm days of the last week have counteracted all Dad er- fects. The farmers now consider the prairie harvest safe, as the wheat In the stacks can withstand a siege of wet weather. Grain hauling Is under way and about 300 loads, amounting; to ap proximately 20,000 bushels, are pouring Into the Nes Perce warehouses daily.

HEAVY POULTRY DECLINE. Market Slumps for Several Reasons During the Past Six Days. There was quite a heavy drop of values In the poultry market during the past week. The drop was occa sioned by the muoh larger arrivals and the fact that buyers had been held up for too high values by some dealers. As soon as It became known that the market ,was broken, country shippers bepan to-send supplies to market in a steady stream. Many of them had re fused t6 make shipments when the mar ket was higher and local dealers were crying for supplies. Eggs are higher becauae of the local scarcity.

(United rrraf LMd Wlr.) Chicago, Sept. 2D. Wheat opened at a slight advance because Liverpool re ported prices of futures from to Vid higher In face of the closing weakness on this side. The local crop, however, was against the market, and with large offerings from the leading commission houses they joined that side In a body and sold heavily within a half hour of the opening. (Leased Wire Overbeck & Cooke Co.) Chicago, Sept. 28. The wheat market atarted good and steady at about the same values as the closlna- yesterday. The Liverpool strength and the good cash demand were the contributing fea tures toward tne eariy strength, out tne Dears soon gained control and nam mered values down. Australian shipments for ths week were placed at 360,000 bushels, com pared with 620,000 bushels last week and 440.000 bushels a year ago. The reaction toward the close which cost the market to 1c a bushel was due to the heavier arrivals of cash stuff than expected. Official prices: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.

The barley maxKet was very bulllsn. with sellers pressing for all the traffics would bear and a llttie more, as buyers were scared away by the asking prices. It was the opinion of some dealers. however, that prices would go still higher in the coming week. Some of the recently reported sales of feed at top-notch prices have been of brewing quality, but for sometime past there has been hardly any difference in price between the upper grades of feed and the starting point for brewing. In fact any choice barley is now accepted for snipping, "win m an urgent aeoinnu and to avoid the necessity of paying de murrage. The car shortage occasions no little delay In getting barley to tide water, and vessels are having slow dis patch. Both spot and futures closed niirher. Another vessel haa been added to the engaged list. The receipts werej f3,zti centals, inciuaing os.ui centals loaded at Port Costa for export. Oats were very strong and had an up ward tendency In sympathy with bar ley, but sales were rather slow. The re ceipts were 475 centals. Beans were very firm for large and small whites snd pinks. There have been some receipts of new Crop llmaa, bay os and red kidney. The market was vary firm for all leading products, especially flour and rolled barley.

The great strength of the sheep mar ket during the past week attracted con siderable attention from ths trade.
