. than ever before received, here f rom Tho
Dalles or an local points, is now com
bing from that direction. During the
i past few days there has been quite a
fair increase of Dalles cantaloupes of-.
- fering- In the Portland market and from
the very first arrivals the eastern Ore
son fruit has taken hold of the market
with but few exceptions this year Cal-
season; most of the arrivals being ta sis
less. , . This is the former complaint
regarding the local fruit but hls sea
son The Dalles has something better to
offer and for that reason the fact is
. readily recognized - tjr discriminating
buyers.. Best Dalles cantaloupes sell
ing today along the street at $2.60; the
. highest price obtainable for anything In
that -line. California stock is selling
from 1 a crate upward. , Borne sales

' Egg market' shows sever weakness
. again and several sales ' were mala
along the street down to It his a dosen.
.Even lower prices than these are talked
:ef but are not likely. The trouble with
the local market at the present time is
.7 the general poor Quality ot offerings
,and the Influx of eastern supplies.
'These latter are 'being offered at a
lower .range. J.
; Butter and cheese markets. are firmer
although no immediate change in the
- former is likely,. Prices have already
reached such-, a high figure, that the

' At the very. best the iresent business
, In, the hop market, Is merely a dealers'
' affair and .scarcely" shows conditions as

.While there Is some little business of

better prices, still but few' orders have

": North Takima, Wash.,, Aug. I. From
all over the Yakima valley there is going
tip the cry for help in the harvesting of
the crops. A man who lives at Wapato,
the little' town 12 miles south of here on
the Indian reservation, was in ,the city
today searching everywhere and offer
ing exceptional - wages in an effort to
get 86 men which he said he must have
In' order to take care of the 600 acres of
alfalfa which he has Just started to cut
Counting the needs of all the ranchers
la his locality, this man says that 100
men could go to work near Wapato to
morrow and most of them could And
employment for many "weeks. The hay
making will, require 20 days and about
the time this harvesting is over hop
picking will be on. - . J----
The shortage of man in this looallty
at this time 1 - blamed on the police
authorities who. -have- been arresting
men right' and left for . riding In on
freight trains, pressure is being
brought to bear on the officer to have
them. be. more lenient in order that full
crops' may. be harvested.

"very little grain is changing nanas

"The same company also purchased

"Owing to the disagreement between
the warehouse- men and the farmers,
the latter have, almost entirely ceased
hauling grain.. Borne few are stacking
their wheat In the field but the greater
majority of them are leaving it where

Only - one carload of wheat 7 sold at

Borne are hauling to the warehouse, but
few if any will sell until there 1
change in the price. The wheat around

Coo Bay has entered the" Portland mar
ket as a factOt in the Hoa; situation. The
first hog that evr came from that di
rection arrived thl morning toy steamer.
They -were brought In by -George E.
Peoples, proprietor of : the; cheese fac
tory and creamery at Coqullle. And
they were the best hogs seen In the
Portland yards for some time.
"I brought the hogs to the Portland
market." states Mr. Peoples, "because I
believe. I -can secure better treatment
here than elsewhere. This I my first
shipment ' to the Portland .yards, and
everything ha ttfrned out all right Up
to this time I have been sening my
hogs to' Coos Bay butchers, but they
believed that producers had no other
outlet, and therefore paid us whatever
price they pleased. This time I fooled
them and brought them to Portland by
the steamer Alliance. . -. . i.-'-v'v
Creatoer By-product a Bog reed.
For some time Mr. ) People has ex
perimented With the by-product Of hi
creamery and cheese factory as a feed
for hogs- and has sum-eeded In turning
out a- product that -is epected to- hrlng
top values whenever offered. : .v. n ...
According to the Coqullle shipper, his
section of the country Is awaiting the
opening up of the new Portland packing
plants and stockyards in order to turn
out more hogs. "We ha.ve quite liberal
supplies there at this time,"-, he states,
"but up to this time we have had noth
ing but a local market to depend upon,
and this was scarcely profitable to pro
ducers." I I Hog Sown for Teeder. 1 .
'-' Iocal yards , were 7 glutted today
with feed hogs; aupplles of this grade
howlng the largest volume for many
a day. In all 841 head of hogs arrived
In the yards during the 24 hours; nearly
all of these, with the exception of the
Coos Bay lot being' stockers and feeders.
For these grade the market Is gener
ally 25 to 60 cents lower: sales beintr
made at $7 for feed stock while $7.60
was formerly paid. Even the better
grade hogs are affected by tho influx
of feed and poor tock. 7. It .-win- take
something exceptional to bring $9 at

Chicago. Aug. 5. Wneat wa undet
severe pressure -all day and cleSsed 1
to lo a bushel under' yesterday..
Everyone was selling wheat - today
and even those who. were so eager to
purchase at one time yesterday, were
among 'the mpre willing to let go thl
morning and during the eesslon.
Brought about by pressure of consid
erable magnitude abroad there was
much offering of wheat here at the
opening thl morning. -This, however,
showed about the best prices for the
day. .From the very first quotation the
cause of the bulls was hopeless today
and after opening to lo lower the
market ' closed at It weakest period
this afternoon.
Liverpool started d under yester
day but pressure of liquidating longs
and renewed shorts forced the market
1 to ld under last night's closing
at the end of today's session. ' ! ,
Other European markets were under
depression - and taken as a whole the
situation abroad was exceedingly bear'
lsh. Berlin closed 1 lower than yes
terday. ,!.: .: w , -
Smaller prices for cash : wheat 1 at
primary centers, although demand for,
export continues quite good, caused the
lrst burst -of -eelllng'- In- f uturea-today.
St Louis reported No. 3 red lo a bush
el under yesterday.
Kansas City was somewhat more bull'
lsh and reported two export houses
there buying September. . .
Primary receipts continue very simi
