At Portland the quotations - are - exactly , those being paid by - the trade. Prices in the north are higher than bare because of scarcity and a good northern demand.

Local wheat values are down . an other cent a bushel. ; Club-Is now quoted at 87a and bhiestem at 92c a bushel. Several fair sited' purchases of wheal are reported made 'by' local millers and exporters at lntertbf points but neither interest la hurrying matters. Just-what effect the lockout of the union grain handlers will have is hard to say,' but it Is expected that the af fair will be settled before the market becomes .steady a pain and until that time there is not likely to be a heavy volume ox buying. . Big Yields, of. Wheat. Colfax. Wash.. Aua. 13. Threshlna operations are now In full blast through out the Palouse, and some of the great est yields in the history of the north west are being reported dally, not only In the heavier land In the south and east part of Whitman county, but in tne tignier lanas in me norm ana easi as welt J. A. Adams, whose big outfit started out Saturday, states that on Tuesday he threshed six acres of hybrid wheat. No. 143, on the David ' Beasley farm, 10 miles west of Colfax, that averaged 60 bushels per acre, and W. J. Greer, whose machine started last Thursday, says that he has already threshed sev eral thousand acres of fall sown forty fold (Gold Coin) and that none of It averaged less than 40 bushels to the acre, and the greater portion of it went between 60 end 55 bushels. Several - fields of Turkey red in the vicinity of Rosalia are reported to have made better than 50 bushels per acre, and Joseph Dowllng, who has a large field of Canadian hybrid near Thornton, got 6f! bushels to the acr. Mr. Dowl lng is Introducing this variety of wheat in this Bectlon of the country, and this Is the first crop that he has raised and he BtateB- that it has far exceeded his expectations, bdth as regards quality and yield. , The grain Is a propagation of several varieties of Canadian hard wheat, and it was feared that It would deteriorate In this milder climate, but the grain shows no evidence of this, nor does It show any tendency to re vert -to type, - another . common-'fault with many hybrids. The yields that are being reported are so far in excess of original esti mates that the warehouse company rep resentatives express doubt of there be ing adequate storage room, even with the many new houses that have been built during the last year, and the rail way traffic officials freely admit that they are fearful of a blockade, although all the available Cars are being rushed Into the northwest as rapidly as pos sible, In order that the early sales can be shipped at once. Weather conditions are ideal, labor la plentiful and with dry weather for the next 80 days the greatest cereal crop In th hlntorv of the , northwest will be safely threshed and in the sack. The local marxet is not seeping up as well as at first anticipated, and the ?uotatlons today were: Bluestem, 80: ortyfold, 76 c; club, hybrid, fife and Turkey red. 76c; and red Russian, 73c.
