Dec. 19-The wheat market awoke this morning with a bad taste in its mouth for opening values were lazy und stagnant, with a somewhat lower range than yesterday. Preliminary to this there was a loss of VI In Liverpool over the failure of the American mar ket to make good yesterday. Argentine advices are scant, but are generally about the same, wet weather being con tinued throughout the republic. There (vns a great deal of uncertainty among the trailers as to what were the real conditions In the Argentine, and some of the shorts took heart and sold again, with the result that after a sharp, early ndvunce the market sold off and closed a full cent under the high. As com pared with the close of yesterday to day's market was mixed, May being Vic higher and July Vic lower. Other pits were affected by the tone In wheat. In corn the range for tho dav amounted to about a cent a bushel, with tho closing under yesterday. While the oats market was slow, the price was fairly maintained. May clos ing unchanged at 62 4c and July at 45 'ic split, a mere fraction under the price of yesterday. Provisions showed a lack of support todav. and all options closed lower.

In fact the trade doh nut remember a time during any perloc when the sales were so heavy In this stale as lit the present moment. While complaining bitterly of a dull tone with no demand, the dealers aro making every effort to buy hops and that they are successful Is shown by late transactions Tho growers are seemingly ho nnxloiis to let go their hops that they are selling the best prod uct grown on the roast at lower figures than are being paid for Inferior goods in Washington and California. One reason for the great activity In the local hop market nt this time when in normal years the tone is dull on ac count of the holidays. Is the fact that growers everywhere are talking of or ganising and say they do not intend to let buvers always dictate Hie terms as well as prepare their statistics. It Is stated that the firm of Klaher, Wolf A Netter of this city Is one of the largest urchasers. Tula firm Is headed by lennsn Klnher of Tacoma. who is said to te one of the greatest short sellers of the const. M J Netttr Is handling the local business for the firm. &evlw of Eastern Markets. The New York Producers' Price Cur- rert In Its latent Issue says: "The markets Imve shown practically Utile change the past week. There has been continued buvlng on the Pa cific const at about former range of prices, but the demand, while steady, la not especially heavy. Borne export buy ing is reported In Oregon at tit 7c, with lower grades selling down to 5c. The Washington markets are somewhat hlghei and 7c Is reported offered In Yakima mr a choice crop. The stock In Washington Is very low In compari son to what Is left In California and Crcgin. The California markets re main unchanged at iii'c. In New York state there has been a steady de cline for the best lions and sales are ported from la'o'lBc per pound. The better grades are being cleaned lip In all se-tlons and the bulk of the crop In growers' hands Is poor. On the local market a sale of fancy Sonomns Is re ported at 11 'c, but this Is not con firmed. There Is a persistent Inquiry. however, for strictly choice goods at top pvl -cs A few small transactions etwecti de.ileis cover the trading on i the market nnd It Is only a sort of J hand-to-mouth business either In new hops or vearllngs. Trading with brew ers Is somewhat slower, although It Is understood that a large amount of busi ness ban been transacted during the past few w.-cks. The English markets are reported slightly stronger, but with American hops entirely neglected at present." Xtrr York Prices.

What is de clared to bs the record run for an east ern Oregon thresher was finished a few davs ao by Joel C. Wright, the res ervation farmer. When he closed aown 011 December 10 It was after a five- months' run. during wmcn lie inresnea a uuaiter or a minion uusiu-ih. On July 10, the Wright thresher be gun the season upon the reservation ana threshed 40.000 sacks of wheat. When the. run here was completed the macnine was moved to Gilliam county, wnere threshers were scarce this .year, and it was not until a few days ago that all of the wheat there was placed In sacks. During the run In Gilliam county a to tal of 67,(100 sacks were inresnea. The Wright thresher is a aij-lncu sep arator und is operated by a traction engine, of 27-horsepower. The crew during the season consisted of 17 men nnd of these half a dozen or more were with the outfit during the entire live months' run. The fact Is to Mr. Wright s credit that when otner tnresn- ing concerns could not secure men dur ing the season be never lacked a crew. Counting out tne lime iosi inrougn bad weather the Wrlsht machine aver aged 2,800 bushels of wheat per day and during the entire season It threshed grain to the total value or nearly jzuu,- 000. The average price received for threshing was 7 cents per bushel. Wheat Trade Stagnant. (Special Dlnpatch to The Journal.) Pendleton Or.. Dec. 19.

Until yesterday tne local quotation on cluh had neen hie lor several aays. but another drop of arcent occurred dur ing the dav. However, wheat is said to be worth 68c In Pendleton, and at least one buyer is offering that figure. Others declare they are out of the mar ket for the time being. Portland 1'nlon Stockyards.

This was on Th.u.ksglv ln-i day. They have been living since that time at Mr. Altken s studio, No :m; Broad way. Only a few of the artist's close friends have known of the wedding. Mrs. Altken ts the daughter 'f Louis de Llgny, the famous Krcneh inventor, who died In Paris a short time ago She met the sculptor about two years ago. Just when he had been brought Into prominence through the monument he 'had made for the nmy, nnd which was j dedicated by President Roosevelt He I was commissioned to make a bust of I Mile, de Llgny In marble, and when the j girl saw the young sculptor she decided I to learn the principles of the plastic art , herself. The lessons did not proceed I very rapidly, for the pair fell hoplsly In love at the beginning of the first afternoon's tuition Mr. and Mrs. Aitken were seen yes terday afternoon by a reporter in Mr. Altken's studio. "My people wanted me to marry some wealthy Frenchman, whom they con sidered good enough for the de Lignv family." said the bride. ' I didn't like the Idea at all. I don't care If I haven't a chateau and a title. I am perfectly happy with my American hus band." "And will you continue your artistic career?" she was asked. Mrs. Altken laughed merrily. "Art? No! I had four lessons, nnd then I thought I'd rather marry the artist than be one myself." Robert Altken was born In San Fran cisco'. His monument In that cilv, called 'Victory.'' and regarded as his masterpiece, was destroyed In the great fire. His statue of President McKinb-v Is one of the many examples of his skill In marble, bronze and gold. His studios and apartments in Paris contain the greater part of the studies and models of his work. He will re turn to France when the story of his elopement has subsided, for he has re ceived marked recognition and praise for his paintings and sculpture In the Paris Salon.

Tacoma, Dec. 19. Wheat Export: Bluestem, 82c; club, 80c. A few of the many marital troubles of G. Carson and bis wife Elizabeth rehearsed in the municipal court this morning when Judge Cameron was called uron to listen to evidence bear- ! Ing on the charge of threats to kill pre ' fei r. d against her husband by Mrs. Car son. inning the proceedings, which never for a moment lacked Interest, no refer- ence was made to the $25,000 damage 1 suit filed yesterday, and by which Car son seeks to obtain that amount in dam j ages for tho alleged alienation of his 1 wife's affections by L. H. C. Iladley. vice-president of the Baggage, Omnibus Ai Transfer company. ' A high official of that corporation was In court, however, and after re maining as an Interested spectator fin ally accompanied Mrs. Carson from the courtroom at the close of the hearing. I According to the story unfolded by Mrs. Carson on the witness stand, she 1 has for a long period been fearful that J her husband would take her life. She ! asserted that she was afraid of him be I fore she married him; that she lias been Jnfralil of him during all of the 10 years of their married life, and that she is ! still afraid of him. Asked why she ! married the man she replied that she j had good private reasons of her own for I that act. ! Mrs. Carson testified that because of his continual threats and his general '. evil temper she was forced to leave her husband something more than a year ago, but that he forced her to return to him. He had, sho said, on many oc- j ensions, threatened to kill her and then 1 himself. In his own defense Carson denied all of the allegations made by his wife. '' At the request of his attorney, W. W. Banks, further hearing of the case was postponed until 2 o'clock tomorrow af ternoon in order to give the defendant time in which to procure the attendance of witnesses who will testify as to his good character and general standing In the community. (Snerlnl Dispatch to The Journal.) Norrlstown, Pa., Dec. 17. The lino of modesty was defined in criminal court yesterday when It came to the delicate question of a woman showing her in juries to the court and Jury In an as sault and battery case. The plaintiff was Miss Apnle Selah of Conshohocken. who alleged that she was struck by An drew Donat of Bridgeport. ".Show the bruises to the court," said Assistant District Attorney T. L. Bean. The pretty plaintiff hesitated and. ap pealing to Judge Swartz, at her elbow, whispered her disapproval. "But wq insist," vehemently appealed Attorney II. I. Fox, counsel for the ac cusod. Judge Swartz then asked the location of the injuries. The young woman hav ing pointed to a place midway between the lower edge of a stand-up collar and the usual line of the upper edge, of a decolette bodice, the court decided that the exposure could be made. The young woman began to open her coat and then hesitated. She then de clared that the bruises had all disappeared and had left no marks. Her sensitiveness cost her the suit, for Do nat was acquitted and part of tho cost placed upon his accuser. company ror iiiitn sheriff was unable to give the dentist satisfaction, as the money is mixed with other chattels seized by the sheriff and must go through the usual pro ceases of the law.
