Porhaps tha shipper do not know It

amount of Oregon cantaloupes which en

reveral things to look at In the flret

rip enough to move out of the whole

The Oregon cantaloupe aeaaon begins

The now era In the livestock market has

proven most satlsfactorr to commis
sion merchants and Hhlppcrs alike. Tha
change In operations will not be very
I great until the new yards on the penin
sula are occupied and then Portland will
have the most up-to-date livestock fa
cilities in tha country.
Just now it Is planned that the stock-
yards will be safely located in the new
piaca cy Aiarcn 1 and by that time
everything will be smoothly operated.
By July 1, 1909. It Is expected that all
will be In readiness to operate the new
Swift plant on the peninsula and Port
land will take care of larger shipments
of livestock than even the more san
guine at this time expect.
Portland has several " weeks' trial of
the new system of selling livestock and
while the commission merchants have
not become wealthy, they are Quite
satisfied with the regular changes and
the shipper knows that he is getting a
square deaL The fact that the repre
sentative sales are now published by
The Journal gives to the shipper of

Tha course of the local wheat mar
ket during the past week was quite
interesting, showing as it did the full
control the farmers have over the mar
ket There were few dealers who supposed
that the market would go back to the
high figures of several weeks ago, but
that's exactly what has happened. At
this time local wheat values are within
a fraction of - the extreme high mark
during tne spirited right or early August
and present indications are that still
higher values will be obtained.
The present market is entirely a farm
er's affair and the producer fa almost
setting his own price on the grain he
raises this season. While it looks at
first glance as If he has been a per
sistent seller of wheat, the reverse Is
the case. While the movement of wheat
today Is one of the heaviest for this
fierlod of tha season for many years, a
aras per cent of this wheat was pur
chased before the harvest on contract
even before the grain was threshed.
Exporters are very liberal buyers of
wheat at this time and their purchases
at tha moment are only limited to the
extent that the producer will let eo.
While there- Is practically nothing doing
In .a milling way for flour, tha millers
are purchasing everything they can ptok
up at present values.
There are some millers and exporters
opposed to tha board of trade, because
of Its dealings In future delivery, but
there Is scarcely one that does not do
that very thing himself. Tha heavy
purchases on contracts previous to the
harvest show this. ,. Practically every
miller sells flour several months ahead
of time of delivery, up In reality he Is
not only buying futures, but selling
tnem -neagmg. in other woras.
The cash oats market shows a sharp
advance ror the week, following tne
stiff, upward movement of the previous
six days. Toward the close of tha week
producers were somewnat irecr sellers
of oats around $29 and $30 a ton basis
of track delivery Portland. The heav
iest movement has been from eastern
Orearnn and Washington. Willamette val
ley growers seemingly being unwilling
to let go under X32 and Hi a ton.
The joke of the barley market seems
to oe on tne buyers tnis time, ior
never were they so unprepared to hold
off tha market as at this time. Avail
able supplies are so small that they
are forced to buy at whatever prices
producers are willing to let go at these
nigh prices. Just tha same.
The hay market Is somewhat easier
because of tha heavy orrermgs oy pro
ducers a week ago. Now that buyers
are trying to pull down values, there
Is less Inclination to let go.
On the Portland board of trade there
was a very firm tone In all grain fu
tures during tha past week. For tha
week September wheat (club) shows a
net rise of lao a bushel, while the
December delivery Is lc higher than
Monday, September oats (No. 1 white)
shows a net gain of 2Uc per cental.
and December 3 He. In the barley mar
ket on the board there was a net ad
vance of 2c per cental In September
(No. 1 feed), and a similar rise on
the December option.
Board of trade prices:

square deal. Ha gets all the market af- j

Demand Strong for Best Unas.
Killers and backers are demanding a
better class of livestock and It will pav I .t.t.mmTf
snippers to attend to tnese wants ror
the premiums select stock bring over
tne orainary orrermgs is mucn mora
than sufficient to bring out this class
or stock. The demand tor a better class
of stock is not confined to any one line
but probably the most complaint comes
regarding the quality of late arrivals
of cattle. Select steers ara very scarce
and it Is very seldom that anything
comes that is worth $4 to the buyer.
While this IS the top quotation printed
at this time. It Is qulta likely that a
slight advance would be obtained If the
quality could be found. During the
past week the cattle market ruled very
firm, with receipts somewhat mora lib
eral than during the preceding six days.
While the better class of stock was
firmer tha call for ordinary grades was
sufficiently heavy to force up values a
rraction over tno rulings or a weeit ago.
Good Hogs Bring tha Top Tig-ores,
seven-cent hogs are rather scarce
these days but the market Is showing

days ago. - The bear manipulation of a
fnrtntirht back has .bean followed by
a bull movement Jess spectacular and
more sklliruuy done, dui nono m ima .
i.i,i.u a atna-A has . been reached,
where railroad stocks like Pennsylvania,
and St Paul, which barely mora than
earn their dividend, ara selling on less
than a flva-nolnt basis. A - level - of
prices has been reached where holders
of securities whose judgment of values
Is based upon Intrinsic merlta and not
by Wall street gossip, may well them
selves what mora they safely hava a
right to expect . ' '
Whatever force there la in easy money
as a prop to the market In its present
stage lies wholly on the speculativa
side. Tha large speculativa Interests .
who commonly hold stocks In grant
quantity ara able to borrow all they,
need to carry tha stocks on extremely '
moderate terms. .
There Is no fear of tha credit supply
running short as It haa In past a-u-,
tumns, when the crop moving haa de
tained the market's resources, because -this
year's cropa will ba financed by
RinnA formerly acaulred In mercantile
and manufacturing enterprlaes. Con
sequently, so long as nothing untoward
develops to frighten tha community, tha
cliques and wealthy speculativa opera
tors can afford to take their time about
selling. On the subject of tha general
business movement tha wee s testi
mony Is essentially tha same as that of
the previous week. "
tvia nreairient of the Claflln company. V
in an annual statement to stockholders.
Issued vesterday. summed up tha sltua- .
tion very well. Ha said that after six
months of severe depression in tha dry
goods Industry a recovery occurred In
June and since than has baen fairly wall
maintained, but no great Improvement
can be expected until tha lata autumn, -h.n
tha residential election Is over.
This week's accounts of tha iron trade,
tnr A-ramnle. nota that tha gain Of tliA
early summer Is being held, but It has -not
been Increased.
Bank clearings and railway gross
earnings tell a similar atory. tha vol
nma of bank exchanges outalda New
York city where speculation In securi
ties does not swell tha total ara run
ning at an average of 10 per cent le
than last year ar about tha same c. i

clusion from all this Is that tha hu!n-s

plete confidence which the ip'oUit
markets proreas oyer me rsaun e.j u,
