The weaker cash situation, due to the better crop prospects, brought out a large number of selling orders. Every one wanted to jet go oivwneat today. but before the lob was com Dieted the market had dropped considerably under me figures askea. St. Louis reported cash wheat down another cent today.

Pull man, has been' urging farmers to grow corn and has been furnishing free seed from com grown on tho college farm and acclimated so that It wlu matur in this country where tb nights are cold and the season short. Last year inore than 800 packages of seed eorn were dis tributed tlirousrhout eastern Waahlnrton and, although last year was the poorest jrca-i uui bwu) Ma. ever unowa, owing to so much dry weather, some f ood yield were grown by sort of he more careful farmers.". This year inre was sucn a nemana xor seed com that more than 2000 ctckaiel wars aunt out and tho supply grown on .the college farm was soon exhausted and a lot of Corn was bought from farmers near Pullman, who hav been raising it for several years. Phil W. Cox of Hay station has .458 acres of corn this year that promises a record Dreaking yield. Fred Hungate, living neariiAlmota, 1ms 260 acres, and fields of from 10 to 60 acres are com- man. Farmers- now raise corn-instead of summer fallowing the land, and find mai pars weii. xne corn is largely Used for Silase. This Vmr hie- nrnfltu will be made from corn, which wilt save feeding hay, which la expected to bring i-uiu pjiuto o-uu . to ue scarce farm ers In the PalouBe countrv dtienif larn- j uuuu Krauii cui ueiore us- gets enure y ripe, for their hav. When whut i ivurio irum iu cenLB to ii dap hiiahAi this makes expensive feed, and but lit tle grain will be cut for hay this year. r-armers now . predict high prices for hay, despite the fact that alfalfa, clo ver na innoiny, oi wnicn inero is a large acreage, promise enormous yield. The first crop of alfalfa has already been cut and stacked, and th recent rains assure a blar second iran. -Rut i. falfa Is not fit for horae feed, and grain hay and timothy are used for horses, and the price of these will be hlsrh this vear. Owin to tho hi.v, r,. of wheat, less than the usual amount of urmn nay was cut last year, and as a result the Palouse country had to im port hay for the first time in its his tory. Farmers near Pullman used hay in putting in their crops this spring, that came from Montana &nd rmit t h.m from 816 to 320 per ton. That farmers will maka profits from their crops this vear seems certain. Not only is a record Driee and record yield almost assured, but the expenses have been areatlv radnrui Owing to the farmers' organisations, the Farmers' Educational and Cooperative union the Grange, or Patrons of Hus bandry, combining and ordering supplies In carload iota, low prices hav been secured for all of the staples used by farmers. Grain baas, which cost 11 cents last year, were bought this year ror rrom .so per luo to 36.80. Nearly s.uuu.ouu gram Dags made Jn the peni tentiary were bought by Washington farmers for 6 cents, delivered at the nearest railroad station to the pur chaser. Twine was bought , at loir prices and axle grease, lubricating oils. fence posts, wire, coal, wood and other supplies are being bought in carload lots at low prices this year. All of this reduction In expense adds to tho net pronts of the farmers. New York "Cottoa Market." Open. High. Low. Close. January , 1222 1222 1176 11840 February .. March...... April , May ......

While killers are purchasing a few cows here and there In the yards, they aro not caring for this class of stuff Their surplus of cows is daily increas ing and they are not disposed to take on additional supplies unless offered them at materially lower values. There is no cow good enough at this time to bring over 53.60 In the Portland yards today and that figure is not offered for much Of thfr stuff now in evldencn. A more representative price would be placed at 33 - with safety. Hun of cattle during the past 24 hours was fair a regards quantity but poor- in Quality. A total of 339 head were received since yesterday's report. This compares with 289 Tuesday, 866 Monday, non Saturday, 323 Friday. 210 Thursday and 1090 a week ago today. Medium Hogs Cto to 8.7fl. One sal of medium bogs was made In the yards during -the past 24 hours at 38.75, the highest price of the pres ent run. A still Higher value would of course have been received for some thing select. However, ta the nog market buyers are in tha role of th bearrar who was told not to be a chooser for the latter are quit willing to ac cept anything offered, so small are the offerings and so liberal is the prevail ing? demand. Just 85 head of hogs arrived in the yards today, this being tha first run since last Friday morn ing when only 84 head Were received. No additional arrivals reported dur ing .the week. A week ago today 80 head of hogs arrived, and gladdened the hearts of killers who have been led to believe that no more hogs -re mained in the entire Paclfio northwest Cant Oct Xogg for Block Work. Wholesale butchers and packers have been against . a situation In th hog market recently that -they scarcely rel ish. So few arrivals hav aooeaxed in the yards and so high hav been prices in the east, together with th scarcity there, that packers have been at their wits' ends to find sufficient stock for block work, not alone getting enough for packing. - Sheep market showed quite fair ar rivals in tha Portland markets during tha past 24 hours. Demand is good in all line but best - in lambs and the top for these remains at 35.25. Run of sheep and lambs for the day was 612 head, compared with 357 yester day, 495 Mondays none Saturday. 250 Friday, 870 Thursday and 497 a week ago today. Among Livestock Shippers. J. E.
