' ' Extreme hot weather and a shortage 1 In the aupply of watermelons have creaiea a unique situation in the Front street trade, and prices are showing a ' very sharp ad vanoe. : Bales were report o atong tne; street today as high as 2 He a pound, although eome were sell ing ae -low. SB' 20. - -V:tt-,--;-'':!"--!r'-r.-. - There is almost a famine so far as supplies are concerned. The street was entirely cleaned up. at the closing of business last week,; and only One car load was reported In from the south this morning. Naturally, this did not five muoh' relief, for there Is a dally demand for from- five . to . six carloads of melons In the local market at this time of the season, v, While naturally the future of the wa termelon market depends much upon the weather, .still there Is every expeo tatlon for a -continuation of extreme prices In tat "local market during the next few tiAys. Most of the leading .handlers had none to offer at all this morning, in fact, they refused to take -orders, because they could . buy only sparingly from those that reoelved the single carload. Eorao efforts were, made to create a poor market by ' those that had no mel ons by quoting much lower prices than the genoral market,- but ' It developed generally that the low price quo t ere wers imabl to deliver. BOMB CHICKENS ARE UXSOLK Quite a fair supply of chickens was carried over until today by Front street merchants .who received them toward the latter part of last week. While no change is shown In prices, the outlook Is seemingly toward a slightly lower range, owing to the warmer weather. FANCY VEALS VERY SCARCE. Extreme scarcity, of fancy veals Is shown in. the looal trade. Owing to tho hot weather and the danger of ship Ping at this time, country Interests are not feeding the trade. While as high as lto has been obtained In a very limited way for supplies, the general market la holdlug firm at Ha HOG PRICES FIRMLY HELD. With only a . few head of country killed hogs coming forward to the Front Jtreet trade at this time, the market is n excellent shape with prices held very firm at '12o a pound for beet offerings. TOMATO MARKET IS HURT. , While 'prices are still held. high, the market for local tomatoes la being hurt somewhat by the rather liberal carload arrivals of rough California stock recently,' sales, or Danes toma toes ar reported up to 11.60 for best NORTHERN COTS FIND DEMAND. Bmall supplies of sprlcots from the Yakima, section are arriving in - the Front street Va5e- and as a rule quite fair quality la. shown. Demand is good and price are holding generally at ll.il 1.80 a crate. ' VvOiBy Hyman IT. Cohen, ' ; . Lewiaton. Idaho, July 81.- Ths . big gest aggregate crop of grain will be produced In this seotlon of Idaho that has heretofore been gathered. Present indications are for a yield of 1,000,000 bushels of -wheat-alone In Nes Faroe county. Of barley the outlook In the county Is for 760.000 bushels and of oats , 376,000 bushels, making a total train- production irrespective of hay, of ,126,000 buabela. ..' There Is unusually fine quality shown in the wheat fields of the county this season. The acreage is somewhat great, or than a year ago because the latter crop was short owing to , unfavorable seeaing conditions. This year both the condition of the crop and the extent of the planting are. unusually favorable. This is a country for the growing of breadstuff s. The very nam of Camas Prairie suggests that much. ..Years ago the , entire country was ono vast field of camas and even today the plants are still quite plentiful. . The camas, for which the prairie was named, is a plant that grows somewhat in tho same style as the wild lily, only Us leaves ar not so wide. It grows to good height on tho soils here. The plant matures a sort of bulb about the slse of the aver age hen's egg. Years ago It formed the principal vegetable supply of the In diana of this section. They take the bulb' after drying it thoroughly,-place it In a mortar and grind it into a paste muoh as wheat is ground into flour. Then it Is made into bread. Those tht have tasted camas bread pronounce it a fairly good substitute for the wheat product and even more healthy.. Years a so DeoDla lauarhed when It was mentioned that this portion of Idaho coma produce wheat and 'Other cereals in abundance. Nevertheless today It is a .leading center of tin srraln industry of the Pacific northweat and so far as can - do ascertained nas never yet ex perienced a season when tho crops could nave oeen caiiea.a zaiiure. While the present season was In. tensely favorable for the growth of all grains, owing to the very liberal amount of moisture received during the. crop ear, sun mis section nas always p ro il cod good crops whether the total ore. ciynnuun do snort or neavy., As through all sections of the Pacific northwest, the seaaon has been a moat erratlo one, still it could scarcely have been more favorable from the stand point of production. , The grain is not oniy a very neavy yieiaer out tne quail ty promises excellent at tho present writing. This week harvest started on some of tne earner places. uanieia et Wallace, considered Idaho's moat extensive pro ducers of grain, started on their place a iew miles eoutneasi oi mis city, xnis company alone farms 4000 acres and the ranches are considered among the best producers in the Clearwater coun try. Two headers and a similar number of combines are used to harvest this one place, work being carried on at the rate or over 100 acres a aay. Some of the heavier wheat is down because of the big' heads and the heavy rttins late In the ' aeaaon but this will occasion littler if any, loss because that portion or tne crop wnicn is not tnresned win tie utilized ror hay. Harvest is generally considered two weeks late in this section of the state and -it will be several weeka before general cutting win oe started, although operations on earner places are now oeing oegun.

While the-Jaw provides for such a body, the last ' commission tenoerea its r m. tion to the governor slid since then none has- been appointed. - During last sea son many complaints were attended to by the commission and a number of law. suits were averted by decisions of the ooay. As yet no market has been established for new crop grain here. Prevailing rrrccu unereu in tuner sections at tnle Ime are not considered adequate and therefore it la likely that unless htt.. figures are available here, little of the grain win oe aoia tor some time.

SO 't There was a further sensational ad vance in the price of hogs at North Portland for ths day. Tops advanced to It.CS or fully 26o higher than ths ex treme prices of last week when sales were made at $9.40. There was only a mall run of hoes in the yards zor tne day and these wers quickly picked, up at tne extreme price. The small offerings of hogs recently has been due to the fact that farmers an varv hiiav with harveatinn. therefore cannot take the time to market their swine. In view of the excellent demand now showing in the local trade, the out look zor d rices remains exceptionally good."" ' ' By today's advance In the price the local market for hogs is a nickel above the highest pries in the east. At Chi cago there was a firmer tone in the swine trade for the day and sales were made as high as 19.60. Kansas City hog market ruled strong with an advance of a nickel to a dime for tho day.
