The ov ernment report on European 'indica tions was moderately bullish and more black rust reports were received.

Spring quotations at higher range were followed by a sharp slump but the market reacted and closed with good gains. . .Corn damage reports, from Nebraska and Kansas were of a more Important kind and came frotn 'good sources. The strong cash situation with the drouth reports afford plenty of ammunition for bulls and especially In view of the fact that prices have been hammered down to a point where the bullish crop prospects have been largely discounted, Range of Chicago prices furnished by Overbeck A Cooke Co.: Sept Deo.

New high records for the present movement and the high est price for this time of the year were paid for calves and heifers, aa well as .cows, during the past 24 hours. ine aemana zor gooa stun m ract, no line of livestock Is showing utter neglect at the present time Is the best ever noted here, and recently some very food markets have been shown in the ortland yards. uooa stun is eageny sougnt Dy puy- era, and one of the leading men In that line today stated that he would be quite wining to pay up 10 tt.eo ior top steers or 6c better than anything heretofore received. Expect Bun of "Book" Sheep. A big run of buck sheep Is expected In the local yards during the coming week. On the first of the month the trade begins to dock buck sheep $1 and buck lambs 50 cents. This is In place of the dock of $1 for all grades, made in previous years. In yesterday's re port the dockage was erroneously print ed at 25 cents. While a heavy run of 'Touck sheep and lambs is expected to appear In the Portland ' yards In time to escape the dockage imposed by the Livestock ex change, this is not likely to have any serious eriect upon gooa stun ana top lambs and - fat sheep are expected to bring forth heavy, bidding. Veal Calves Are Higher. An advance of 25 cents sent the price of top veal calves to 16.50 In the yards toaay. ino ioj mat secured tnis price was shipped by De Marls of Walla wal la, mention of which was made by The Journal yesterday. Recent receiDts of veal calves have been far below the requirements of the trade and values lor that reason have been higher than ever before. Hogs Are Firm at $8.78. Along with other Unas there, were no receipts 01 nogs in tne Portland yards today. The market for swine Stands in a very firm position. De mand at this time Is the best ever seen here; not excepting the period a short time ago when sales were made at $9.26 and $9.60. At that time only nominal business was shown and had the receipts been at all liberal no such values would have oeen obtainable. These Supply the Market. F. M. Schleppy of Palmer came In with a car of cattle. F. E. Metteer, the Condor shipper, has the honor of topping the market for cuwi kiiu Bieera xur miesi morvmeni. Sale made by T. C. Benson & Son. Nine cows and 12 steers were Included In the record breakers. F. B. Decker of Silverton had a load of sheep and Iambs offering. Amos De Maris, the Walla Wallc shipper, through the Sharkey Commls sion company, received the highest firice for veal calves and heifers In th ocal market ' for summer sales. His heifers went at $3.65 and calves at $6.60. Today's lack of livestock compares with this day In recent years as fol- BUYING VERY SPIRITED TODAY Union Pacific Goes to 218 1-2 . Today and. All Issues Close Near Top. New .Tork. Aug. 14. The Irregularity In t the list vdurlng the last hour of yesterday' session was ascribed to call ing of loans by Important banking In terests In ; order to face a recession. The action of market today indicates a replacement of lines together with spirited buying of Harriman Issues and the list closed near the best levels of the day. Foreign buying on a good scale has been noted of late, and outside Inter? ests have shown slgna of improvement Trade reports continue favorable and a slightly firmer" tendency of money rates has not had the effect of decreas ing market activity. The list , has reached a level from Which recessions are likely to occur unexpectedly, .but although the advances have been very rapid, it does not seem a -though- they have been distributed to an extent that would take control from the hands of those Interests responsible for the up ward swings.

Tho first ship ment of new wheat was received at ths local flour mills today from A. B. Conley of Cove, who sent In a car of fancy grade fortyfold. Wheat Is sell ing somewhat low on account of the slump In market growers receiving from 70c to 80c per bushel at mill. For the next few weeks there will be a great many carload shipments from points in the Grand Ronde valley to the mills at this place and Cove. The general average for wheat this year is about 35 bushels per acre, but there fyre many crops making 45 and 66 bushels. Wheat was grown more ex tensively throughout the valley this year than last and the crop will no doubt be heavy enough this year to keep the local mills running the entire year, but in past years the mills have been compelled to close about the first of April on account of grain shortage. Threshing is in full swing and the weather could not be better for har vesting. Farmers are having some dif ficulty In securing help and are offer ing high wages for farm help.
