However, none or tnia nign priced wheat is coming in thla direction, Local Interests are not offering over $1.18 for bluestent but are willing to buy readily at this figure. No change Is shown In the price of paiem uour' out me maraet is firmer. Basia of . 131.60 . waa paid for white oata in tha interior during tha paat 24 hour a and, buyers are now eager to Uke hold at this advance.

Business men say there are two reasons for this increase. In the first Dlacs thla is not a one crop country, and the crops outside of fruit have been large and brought good prices this year, in tne secona piace tne pop ulation la constantly Increasing by pea pie coming In here from the east and making their homes.

Poor cattle are 35o lower. Those who have ordinary or Door Quality would aave money, therefore. If tney would keep thla aturr off the mar ket for a while, for the bl- peoDle are not eeeaing it and indications point to a drop In cattle prloea If thla advice Is not taaen. There is a aood demand for rood aturr. but packera are filled ud with poor cattle. Their capacities are 'ex tremely limited, and therefore It does not take a very heavy amount to over load them. Outside buyers are sunDortlnar the market better than local people. Bring la Breeding Cattle.

Campbell last night. It was set by burglars. They were evidently disappointed at not finding the large sum of money they thought was In the Campbell office till. The till was found broken open this morning. The fire was set in two rooms, separated by an 18 Inch fire wall. Campbell. It had been reported, kept a large aum in the till. He re moved It to the burglar proof safe last night, leaving nothing in the money drawer. A score of lodgers were compelled to rush for safety out of the rooms above the burning store. Two were nearly overcome by smoke. J. L. Contente, who discovered the fire, says he saw a young man inside the burning store kicking at the rear door trying to get out. In the excite ment this man disappeared. The body of a prominent wealthy winery owner was In sn adjoining un dertaking establishment and the nt tenoar.ta were forced to carry It to safety. . . 82 61 14 28 lo2 79 44 72 '65'" 14V 83 43 89 59 '33 80 1311 32 74 35 88 133 49 100 '84 144 41 134 1144 52 169 71 67 61 123 101 V 111 494 .1R1. 122 104 118 91 80 180 46V 107 21 168 181 87 61 64 80 81 22 84; ft84 61 87 34 41 50 143 49 : 24 60 166 139 49 74, 37 80 ,1 J' COAL CLAIMANTS LIKELY TO LOSE 1 1 1 azaaa M-bb FinclaOt's Interference Has Placed Alaska Grab in Jeopardy.
