Chicken market Is on the fence and It will not take much to send values either way. although it would be harder to put the market uti than It would to send It "lnft'fi. All depends upon the arrivals during the next few days. At the ores ent time the larcrer buyers have about as liberal supplies as they need and If Arrivals are heavv tney will he with drawn from the market and allow pup jules to accumulate and thus force a lower value. If, on the other hand, the nocks on hand on Front street show a decrease the trade will be able to main tain the present range.

A slightly weaker tone was noted In oats and both options closed with a loss of 2 He per cental from Saturday. Barley marKet was anotner or tne coarse grain list to show losing values today. The loss was tne same as in oats. While the price of new wheat Is show ing no disposition to weaken in fact, the low mark has been wiped out buy ers are using more caution In making purchases. At country points millers and exporters are paying n a basis of 4c for club and sec for Diuesiem. Views of growers are getting nighty and and for this reason buyers are easlnir off In their operations. Wuile no business in new riour is re ported, makers are holding quotations stiff around prices for old make. small amount of old flour Is still being sold for export.

Courtney Is stll In Jail In Indianapolis and furthermore no officer or other authorized person has left Portland to get rrtm. An effort was made Saturday evening to have the extradition papers for warded to J W. Doyle, attending the f;rand lodge of the Ancient Order of III .ernlans, who It was thought would ac company Dr. Courtney to Portland to stand trial for manslaughter leading to the death of Stella M. Bennett. An objection was made by the district attorney's office to allowing either Mr, Doyle or P. K Sullivan, editor of the Catholic Sentinel, and member of the city executive board, who was also at tending the grand lodge convention, to act as custodian as Dr. Courtney was, like them, a delegate to this convention. By the t.me the district attorney's office had heard of the plan of the de fense lo have a friend of Dr. Courtney come westward with him the extradi tion papers had been made out with Mr. Doyle named as custodian. Today an effort was made to have E. E. Montague authorized to go after Dr. Courtney, but Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald would not permit It.

July 27. Reports have reached the city that much of the clover crop that nas Deen reserved for seed has railed to nil witn seed and will not make a ciop and is even now too ripe to make good hay. The reason for this condition is suid to he that the grower has failed to comply with the custom and requirements in t tie raising of clover lor seed. It is said to he abso lutely necessary to cut the crop early In the season for hay and then allow It to grow and develop again and allow the new growth to develop into blossom and see.. Those who ar facing this dilemma now recognlxe their mistake and admit the failure Is due to their own fault In the failure to obey the recognized principles in the raising of clover. jt Spo?ane, Wash., July 27 So intensely warm has the weather been during the last few days that the farmers have worked only part of the time In the har vest fields, working in the early morn ing and late evening and laying off through the rTbt part of the day.
