While the cheeae production of the
Tillamook country this season la consld

there,- the market hae absorbed more
liberal supplies man any one muciiu
. t thla time. -
There haa been a disposition anions;
buyers to hit tha market really harder
than the aituatlon justified and aome
:who have been holding off the bulk of
their purchase for more favorable
price to them, are now getting- Into the
market on quite a heavy scale.' All aeem

i have- rushed Into tha market for quite
heavy supplies of cheese of lata and this
has been a great help toward tha malnte-

i Because of the Improved tone of the
' Tillamook- market local aellere are
somewhat firmer in their views. Few of
' them have purchased as heavily as they
i wish considering tha prospects ror an
advance rather than a decline for the
lxear .future.

j so firm ata a week ago. There Is no
I weaaness shown, however, and makers
say they are still able to maintain val
'ves. The north is buying but scant sup
plies at the moment and this results in
'a larger volume going into storage than
'would have been the case had the out-
aide been a liberal buyer. 1 .
r The local outside creameries are. how
(ever. showing quite a (rood tone to their
markets and none of the best makes are
.being offered at less figures than the
finest of city makes.
Warm Weather X affecting Zg-ffa.
At this time of the year It is usual for
; aggs to arrive in the markets In- various
.conditions. Just at present the quality
Is quite badlv mixed and prices show a
: range of fully lc a dozen. For select
stock the market is disposed to show
firmness. Arrivals are not so heavy as
a week ago because of the larger coun
try call and this Is expected to cause an
advance nero in tne near ruture. .

COPPER USED
FOR BOOSTING
Stock Market Advances
Sharply on Professional
Trading for Clique.
New York, June !. Tha big, people
succeeded In putting; tha stock market
about 1H polnta higher today through
professional trading unassisted by tha
public. Copper shares seem to be the
pivot upon which the advances hinged
and Amalgamated was one Of the lead
ing shares of today's session. While at
times things looked a trifle gloomy for
the success of the bull movement, the
final outcome clearlv showed that tha
kbig interests were going to have their
unai me general speculative iraue re
lieved. The fact that the government Is
about to take another large amount of
money from the national banks Is a
feature which the big people must over-
will be able to get ine
the market and make the
come before they
nubile into tne
proposed advance a reality. Call loans
are still around 1H per cent and this
is one or the greatest neipa to put uie
market higher. It likewise shows that
there Is little call for funds for in
vestment because If the call was heavy,
loans would be higher.

WHEAT CROP, TOO
Dry Weather Responsible for
Decrease This Year in
Grain Harvest
Jqseph Scott, ' manager of tha Jones-
Scott company of Walla Walla, which
buys the major portion, of the wheat
raised In tha Wail a Walla valley every
year, says reports from all over eastern
Washington and Oregon ahow that tha
crop la the lightest It has been for six
years. In many section of the country
the grain will not even be beaded. At
the leaat calculation the shrinkage will
be 25 per cent. Dry weather In May
and June Is tha cause of thia Mr. Scott
and his agenta have been in touch with
the wheat country for the past three
months , and his atatement la extremely
Conner vavlve. He said:
"There has been little rainfall In the
great wheat bolt of the inland empire
aince the first of the year and practi
cally none since the first of May. The
prospects are that only three fourths of
the normal cror will be harvested. The
dry weather has been especially notice
able in its affect on the Walla Walla
valley and in the Umatilla' wheat belt
across the mountains. In the Toehet
country the yield will not exceed 60 per
cent of the normal. In some parts of
this section tho grain will not be cut
at all. It Is this section that cuts down
the icrop to such a low average.
"Tn the Eureka Flat country, lands
which last year produced 25 bushels will
this year fall short of 20 bushels. Most
of the farms will not produce 16 bush
els. Farmers of foothill landa will have
the usual large crops, but tha foothills
are only a speck in the great grain
belt"

OF INSANE PATIENTS
New York State Commission Will
Establish Observation Hospital.
(Special Dispatch to Tba Journal.)
New fork, June 29. The New York
stats sanitary commission la going to
undertake a systematic and thorough
study of insanity. 'As a beginning, a
large hospital will be established In
poughkeepsle, where persons who fear
that they are threatened with Insanity
may have treatment and examination
by experts.
If this observation hospital Is suc
cessful, others will be started, it being
the purpose of the commission to In
augurate a general system of Insanity
hospitals, or laboratories, as they are
called, and to keep carefully prepared
records which will throw a valuable
light upon the -treatment of mental
disease, as is now done in Germany.
This system already has been tried
upon a smaller scale at one or two
places in this country, but the , New
York scheme Is a state affair, and,
therefore, - assumes greater importance.
It will provide- better means of discov
ering anfl,- keeping out cranks, and. It
will command the confidence of pa
tients and their friends. It will afford
better-opportunities' for discovering the
causes of Tnsanltv and removing them
before they bavemade cases hopeless
