Chicago, , July 13. The wheat trade
was without anything in the shape of
leadership on either aide, although hedg
ing sales by some of the elevator people
soon after opening no doubt had bear
ish effect. Most active selling of the
morning was directly the result of the
aiapiay -vx wegjcness in Minneapolis
September of that market had a break
01 o we nrst nail hour. This was
taken to mean that conditions over the
spring wheat country continue favor
able, and there was no confirmation of
uie oiaca. rust laiK.
Southwest markets weakened with
Chicago and the northwest. Cloudy
and rainy conditions over much of the
winter wheat belt created soma bullish
feeling because of the delay in cutting
and threshing. St. Louis had a very
moderate run of new wheat, in fact the
purchases of wheat to come here from
the new crop so Xar reported are very
unimportant. The leading elevator con
cern, however, predicts the movement
win De liberal belore the end of the
month from Oklahoma and also Kansas.
Inglls claims cutting will commence
In Montana next week. Leaving ths
black rust proposition out of the calcu
lation, there is a good fighting market
with merit In this wheat because of se
rious shortage In the soft wheat states,
from which Chicago draws stocks fol
lowing harvest. If there is black rust
at all in the spring wheat country, it
will mean a bull market.
July Is congested and ths early
months are almost certain to feel the
bullish effect of the strength In cssh
here and at outside coints. Weather
conditions are so fine that until there Is
something adverse, December and later
montns should shew heaviness. Cash
steady, with prices H to 114 up in
southwest markets. - f
There was a quick upturn in July
oats on opening trades. Few shorts
tried to cover in a congested market,
and that month closed little easier at
44. The oats harvest promise is so
large that without any accident there
will naturally be selling pressure In
septemnr ana later montns.
It's difficult to draw a line on the
trade because It is well known that the
packing Interests are holding quotations
at present level as basis for their Im
mense casn Dasis at nome ana aoroaa.
Recent repasts on lard are bearish be
cause of .abundant feed and liberal hogs
abroad.
New York. July 1$. The past week
has witnessed considerable unsetlle-
ment In tha security markets predicted
for ths moat part on' the hardening of
money rates both here and abroad and
on the unsatisfactory state of politics
and the slackening in demand. -
rne lacx 01 a sattsiactory investment
inquiry has been felt for some months
and finally has been reflected by Scat
tered liquidation, particularly or tnose
old Issues whose Investment yield has
not been in keeping with the higner re
turn provided by soma of the newer
flotations.
This condition- abroad has been rather
marked in the instance 01 consols ana
rentes, whose low yield has resulted in
considerable liquidation. The, interior
demand on reserve centers for funds has
during the past few weeks been rather
brick and U llkalv to become heavier
as the crop movement asumes larger
proportions' so that the prevailing ten
dency on the part of money rates to
harden so ar)y In the season has causad
some concern. -
Basic industries appear to be In a
satisfactory! state and . the sam may
be said of general trade, but the fac
tors which as stated above are at pres
ent Overshadowing other considerations
are domestlo and international, political,
monetary and Investment- conditions.
Until a marked changa for the better Is
witnessed with reference to same, the
policy of assuming a cautious attitude
and strengthen the position of accounts
Will doubtless b the feature of the
happenings In financial centers.

steady, .but sales were confined to a
few bunches cows. Some weakness has
been shown in the lamb and sheep mar

a slump in the near future, but there
Is nothing to indicate this with much of
a certainty. The demand for feeder

Senator Bourne Outlines Pro
visions of Bill That Is Up
to Senate.
(Pn-eiil to Tha Jnnrntl.l
Aurora, Or., July 13. State President
Kraxberger of the Oregon Rural Car
riers' association has Just received the
following letter from Senator Bourne,
which Indicates that tha rural carrier is
about to come In for a substantial In
crease In salary:
"Replying to your letter of June 25,
will say that the house bill provided
for an Increase In the compensation of
rural carriers of $1074 per year. The
senate committee has not yet acted on
this provision, but the discussion Indi
cates that the members are not unfa
vorable to the plan of increasing the
compensation $44.75 per mile per annum
for each mile In excess of 24 miles, with
a corresponding decrease of a corre
sponding amount for each mile under
24 miles. The committee has tentative
ly adopted a proviso fixing the compen
sation at $1100 per year and leaving the
apportionment on the different routes
to be fixed in accordance with the same
plan which now prevails. It Is impos
sible for me to indicate what action
will finally be taken, except that there
seems to be an almost unanimous senti
ment In favor of an Increase of 10 per
cent In the salaries. I apprehend that

Bayocean, Or., July 13. A "surprise"
wedding wss celebrated here, unbe
known to the friends and families of
the Interested psrttes. A bashful re
quest for the use of the hotel parlors
at the Annex sounded rather suspicious
from the usually self-possessed Ralph
Cadey of Tillamook, who, together with
Miss Rose Shel, Mr. Beals and his sis
ter, and the Rev. Mr. Shrode, formed the
party that landed from the afternoon
boat. The situation was explained and
to the strains of "The Sweetest Story
Ever Told." Miss Shel became a bride.
An Impromptu reception and dinner
dance followed with the bridal party as
hosts- snd - the- hot t- folks -as rtieatg
The news of the wedding was a sur
prise among the popular younger set
of Tlllsmook. This makes 10 couples
to arrive since the first of July.
