There was a big offering of cattle la
the North Portland yards today, and the
tone of tjie trade waa somewhat weaker
than last week, with the price lower.
Contrary to expectations, Montana
cattle are again offering in this market.
Two loada from Red Rock came forward
this morning. The high price of cattle
at South Omaha and Chicago Is ex
pected to shut the Pacific coast off
from that territory until It elevates Its
views and prlcea.
At Chicago today the cattle market
was steady, with receipts of 25,000 head,
and no change in prices from Saturday's
market.
At South Omaha there was a slow and
weak tone In the cattle trade today, but
nevertheless top steers were still selling
up to $7.80, and best cows and heifers
at $6.
North Portland range:
Best steers $5.6506.75

Fancy light calves 7.0007.25
Ordinary calves 6.60 6.00
Common calves 4.00 6.00
Position of Swine Stronger.
The nositlon of the hoe market waa
elevated In all sections of the country
today. This was due to the better
support given the markets by the big
packers. Locally there were no arrivals
over Sunday, and therefore prices were
not tested. It Is the general onlnlon
of the trade, however, that at least a
dime above the present quotation would
be available for selected swine at North
Portland. Thla would put best stuff to
$8.35.
At South Omaha there were arrivals
of 2400 head in the hog market over
Sunday, and clofftng prices were 6c to
10c mgner with tops at $7.46. This
means 18.65 to land here.
At Chicago the hog market was strong
with a similar advance, tops selling up
10 ti.ua.

compared with none either Saturday or
riaay and ibzz nead last Monday.
The sheeD market hss been the cause
of more financial reverses to shippers
during recent weeks than In thq, history
of the local market. Almost every ship
per has lost money. Still the run keeps
up.
At South Omaha there waa a slow
to weak tone In the sheep and lamb
trade, with the following prlcea quoted:
Lambs. $6.4006.86; yearlings, 14.16
6.75; wethers, 3. 16 3.40; ewes. $3.25

Short Sellers ( doing Much
Talking but Are Afraid; Eu-j
- rope Has Most of Crop.'
There waa much, secret offering In the
hop market tpday but during the morn
ln9.',PR sales wore confirmed.
While attempts are being made by
some of the ahort sellers to depress the
market, trade remains In a very , firm
baa a and 41c Is still obtainable for lots.
It is now generally . believed that the
price of spot fuggles will open at 46o a
pound and therefore this would put the
price of clusters to within .a cent or
two of that figure at worst -
Short sellers are almost frantic in
their opposition to the recent advance In
the market and are doing much talking,
but areaif raid to do further selling even
at the present high value.
Crop conditions everywhere show no
Improvement and with foreign Interests
already in control of the bulk of the Pa
cific coast crop, the indications for the
future continue bright.
Growers In the Willamette valley are
getting everything in readiness for the
picking. All will endeavor to turn out
their best quality this aeaaon, although
some1 that sold at low prlcea are not
inclined- to look pleasant at the way the
market has adyanoed beyond their levels.

A BEARISH MARKET
New York, Aug. 21. London was
again a seller of securities notwith
standing the best aspect in the strike
situation. Bearishness of an extreme
hue was reflected in the trading here
and the market stepped on a banana
peel with the usual result.

Union Pacific and the report now comes
forward that Morgan is after that road.

Aooording to leading operators, who
have done the bulk of the buying in the

too high for speculation and therefore
they have reduced their bids. Abova

WALLA WALLA HAS
290,000 ACRES WHEAT
Walla Walla, Wash., Auk. 21. There
are 290,000 acres of wheat in Walla
Walla county, according to figures civ.
en out by the office of County Assessor
Li. K. uawiey. Assessor's deputies who
took the valuation this year also took
the acreage of grain as well as im
proved and unimproved and In round
numbers 290,000 acres Is the size of
walla Walla county s wheat field.
According to the yields of grain
threshed and the estimates for the Por
tion unthresbed, the average per acre
win ds ciose to zu Dusneis or a wneat
cron of 5.000.000 bushels. Manv well
posted men elalm the yield will be a
full 20 busnels and that 6,600,000 bush
els of grain la but a fair estimate. This
Is too high, however. In the minds of
more conservative estimators.
Of the 732,186 acres In Walla Walla
county, there are 617.507 acres Improved
and 214,679 unimproved. The improved
land not In wheat or fruit or other
grains. Is In summer fallow, whih ac
counts for about 200.000 acres.
The fruit In the county Is reckoned
at 6000 acres. More than half of this
Is In three tracts, the Blalock orch
ards, the. Langdon orchards and the
Gardena project, which total about 3000
acres. Probably half of this acreage
la in bearing, the rest being young or
chard. Some 2000 or 3000 acres will
be set out this fall and next spring and
It is believed that in two years more
there will be 10,000 acres .of fruit In
the county.
