Chicago, Aug. 21. Thre was a sort
of unsettled and hesitating trade in
wheat for Saturday' session. There
was- little period of firmness it the
opening caused by better- Liverpool ca
bles than expected. September wheat Is
not regarded as a safe proposition for
the average trader, and the business has
gone- very largely ever into December.
There Is no Indication &t any foreign de
mand 'for our wheat, at present Ship
ping demand Is also slack. Under these
conditions the trade naturally turns Its
entire attention to the northwest situa
tion. Even allowing for some reduction
In the' North Dakota yields, there is
promise of a good big shipping crop on
both sides of the line, and present excel
lent weather is favoring; the harvesting
and the threshing over that section. The
movement of the crop is expected to be
gin with a rush next week- These are
the conditions which are depressing
prices here at present. ' With a north
west or a sudden export demand might
quickly change the situation.
In corn the map continues dry, and
Serious complaints are coming from the
southwest in regard to crop Injury. This
soutwest damage is partly offset by big
crop promise In states east of the river.
The situation ia serious, and If the map
shows no rain by the first of the week
there Is a scare of large proportions
over this much advanced bumper crop of
corn.: Of course genera) rains would
mean a drop in prices. - .
Naturally heaviness is noted in the
oat market, except as sellers reached In
check by the corn situation. There is a
big crop of oats marketed and ready to
move. . , ,i t . '....-.,.
Packers are doing Just what they like
with September and October pork. In
spite of the strained situation in pork
because of very small stocks well ad
vised people in the trade regard the sit
uation In January stuff as a healthy one,
but concede, that prices will be influ
enced very much bv the outcome of the
crop and the level corn values.

. Big Wertou Potato Crop. ' 4
(Special Ctspatck. to The Journal.) ' ,,
Weston, Or, Aug. 21. A conservative
estimate of the acreage in potatoes la
the Weston district is placed at about
1600 acres In ,. the mountains and the
valley combined. The 'acreage has
steadily increased for the . past - few
years, from the fact that the reputation
of the Weston .mountain potato has
been gradually extended until a market
found even as far east ; as Denver.
Every year potato commission men are
here during the spring to buy the crop,
which the farmers are accustomed to
hold in storage until that time, owing
to the - keeping qualities of the potato
that is grown on the Weston mountalna
The result is they are sure of receiving
a top price for their crop. Indications
are very favorable for not only an aver
age yield, but of a superior quality.
Late rains and the cool summer has
been of benefit It is expected that the
average yield will not be less than 120
bushels to the acre. .,,

NORTHWEST BANK STATEMENT
Tyjrh Ridge Crop Good, f r ;
The Dalles, Aug. IL Frank Strattonl
foreman of the. M. A. Moody wheat
ranch on Tygh Ridge, one of the largest
wheat farms In that part of the county,
was in The Dalles Thursday and re
ported having finished threshing. He
stated that the average yield on the en
tire farm was 80 bushels to the acre,
which Mr.'Stratton says is about the
average yield all over the ridge. This
is about 10 bushels an acre short of the
average yield In good orop years, so the
farmers of that part of the county esti
mate that they have this yea raised
about 75 per eent of -a crop - They are
mostly through threshing, and are haul
ing their wheat to warehouses. Very
few sales have been made, the farmers
as a rule holding their grain until they
?et it all In warehouses, when they In
end Inviting bids on their entire crops.
They hope by this method to get compet
itive buyers to look at their wheat and
expect to get the best price going.
