Thar the market la dominated by ana-tern valuea and "no change la afiown in prlcaa aa yet. Stranath In the uaar market la the beat for ome months. Whila the retail trade haa been quit well atocked up with sua-ar In an ticipation of auch a price movement aa occurred today, atlll some Interests were eausrht napplns and better bual- neaa la likely aa a result or in vanca thla morning-. All grades of sugar ra included In the change,,. ; Thla Za TUh Weak. ' Today marks the start of .what will probably be the laat week for canning peaches. A car of aelect Aahland fruit arrived and was unloaded on the street this morning. A car of California stuff nt.t in an axtnearance but cannot be compared with the local product.. The .peach market Is very firm with prices verrv high. Select fruit is selling as hls-h as 11.25 a box, while good ordinary aturr rensea nown aa iow lower price than the latter would mean Inferior quality. Present showing of peachea includes Oregon late Crawfords, juioerias ana ciinga. Oood Prs Are mratsr. . While atcrage houses are still show Ing good supplies ot ordinary quality pears, real select stock la not so plen tiful and this has resulted In a ma terially firmer market than during the paat wok. Tomatoes Are Doing- Better. Tomato market prices are aomewhat better for seleot stock but quite a lot of fafrlv good stuff Is showing up. Most ' of the late arrivals are poorly colored and this accounts for the premium be ing paid for brlirht tomatoes. Potatoes Are Weakening Somewhat. Weakening values are noted. In the potato market at this time. Buyers are still inclined to hold off because of the luclc of outside business. Producers are . beginning to consign to market and as long as this lasts It Is not likely that buyers will overwork themselves. Mar- ket In the south Is lower thnn here and until the situation changes the local tiade does not anth-tpatashtpplng ao tivitj'.i - 7 ' Onion market shows practically the same eoridltion as potatoes, auppnes, however, are only slightly increased as .'' yet. ' ' - Soma Choice KOps Discovered. That there were some choice hops grown in the state during the present season has been discovered by buyers wbo are taking In some of their con - tracts. While th. creat majority t -Of . ta rM will not be -choice, atH more-i of the crop will be or average quality than hal been expected earlier in the season. No sales - have been reported over Bunciay at noon today, In rront Street. Honey market shows Increasing firm. noun Advance of lc a pound in hams, 'bacon and dry salt meats, announced by lo cal packers, is now In effect. No change in lard. Wltn the exception of one city cream ery all local butter makers are now " quoting 36o a pound for their best nroduet.

Because of the riutv lmnosed unon foreign flours entering the .Philippine Islands, the trade there has turned to the Paclfls coast for supplies and re. cently many Inquiries have been received from the trade there regarding prions and quality. While Pacific northwest miners nave always done some ousu ness with the Islands, the bulk of the trade has generally been diverted Aus tralla way, because of the generally lower price asked. The new duty 1 now In effect and therefore millers here feel that some export business will materialise In the near future. Wheat market is firm but farmers are not disposed to sell so freely now that miners are so wining to buy. Oats market seems to have a setback in view for buyers are holding aloft while producers are beginning to Inquire ror a possiDie demand. While farmers are generally very much changed in their views regarding oats, they are holding their hay for an advance and little business has re sulted. Top stuff- Steers Cows .

The big harvest of this part of the Inland em pire has closed and practically 'all the grain is now in the sack and teams are hauling It off to the grain warehouses as rapidly as possible. The last of the threshing machines have pulled In. The wheat crop in this district Is said to be tile largest In the history of the Palouse country. There Is an average of not less than 40 bushels of fortyfold and not less than 45 bushels of red Russian to the acre. There are many yields of wheat and oats that are very large. From 42 acres of red Russian wheat' William Read ob tained an average or 57 DuHhels and i states that because some of his gram was logged in spots his yield was cut down about three bushels an acre, from what It otherwise would have been. From 125 acres of red Russian wheat the Owinn Brothers obtained an average of 60 bushels. From 175 acres of forty- fold the average was 41 bushels. The measurement Is based on the weight of sacks at the warehouse. The farm is located near Steptoe. The average yield of R. C. Mc Croskey's wheat was fortyfold, 40 bushels: red Russian. 40 bushels; col lege hybrid No. 108, 46 bushels. Mr. Union Stockyards. Btockrtalo, Sept. 20. Select steere were very eagerly sought over Sundsy and the result waa an ad vance of 6c over tne exirem ii former transactions. One lot went at 34.66 and more could have been sold at that figure had the proper quality been shown. . While Increasedprices are shown Tot select steers, there Is no advance In poor quality and the present market Is but a continuation of former ones. The trade wants good stuff and at present seems quite willing to pay Tor It. Aa durlna the bast week, there was Range of no change in sentiment renamm .-... The quality of the stuff now arriving, while quite fair, does not show the "toppy" appearance that forces prices higher, and no sales are reported In the yarda over Sunday above $S.2B. No receipts of cattle were Mown over Sundsy and some of the poorer class of stuff was sold during the day. This latter condition was caused by the lack of supplies this morning. Oood Hog Are Very Boa roars-. arrivals of hoga at the new yards last week gave the packing trade a taste for better quality than It has been receiving and the result is that to some extent the trade has become soured upon poor quality. Present ar rivals of hogs in the yards are mainly of poor order, and this aione is respon sible for the poor showing of prices. Real top hogs are wanted and last week's high prices seem to Indicate that v, ktiiora or. willing to rrftV for them. Today's run of hogs was 296 head, ronu psrert with none Saturday, 275 Friday, 478 Thursday, 94 Wednesday. 572 Tues day, and 152 a week ago today. Sheep and Zamts scarce.

The grape Is probably the only crop In Wasco county that, when the totals are made up, will show an increase this year over that of last. In 1908 this county shipped ap nroxlmately eight carloads of grapes, whereas this year it is estimated that the crop will be near 11 carloads. The Increase Is not altogether due to the better crop, since a considerable num ber of new vines have come into bear Ing this year. However, the crop 1 somewhat better this season than last and the Quality is well ud to standard The fact that aranes have made a good yield this season, which has been tho dryest in Z5 years, is convincing mat the arrsDe Is one of our surest crops. and will probably be an incentive to in creaae tha number and size of vine. vards. One of the oldest growers. A j. Fleck, says grapes never fall In this country, and his statement seems to have been borne out by the experleno of this year, when all manner of crops were short the grape Is up to or n llttlo better than average. And the grape Is a fairly rrontnoie crop, tns price orai nsrlly realised being a little better than 360 a ton, and a. 6-year-old vineyard will yield In the neighborhood of six to eeven tons or grapes to the acre. tins, ltUo per lb.; steam-rsnderei. 10a, liHe per lb: Is. lHo per lb.: com- boT. $3.4; pound. . lUe Per lb.
