creaiea a unique situation in the Front

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.

Some complaint Is being made by
snun srvwers Decausa mere is no grain
commission now in the state. 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.

Two year ago..,. 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.

144$ head a week ago, 902 a year ago
and $01 head this same day two years

In general the local heep trade can
be safely considered 26o to too below
last week's figures. There Is quite

well. Trade was considered steady at

Much strength' Is shown in the market

the general price along tho street ranges

" Real good eggs f Have teen rather

Considerabia t manipulation of eggs is
again reported by the trade. It Is stat
ed that some eastern stock is being sold
as ordinary candled Oregons much to
the detriment of the trade that deals
only In. first class local stock.; While
this is opposed to the law, still nothing
has developed-as yet that will allow of
oonvlotions. .However, the state dairy

nnlv ifullnaaa la ahown in the local
cereal trade at this time. The deadlock
htwn arrowera and Duvera conunues
unabated and there is every reason at
this I ma to ballava tnat tne siluauoH
will not be relieved for some days. Nom
inally the trade la bidding 80o for club
wheat and about 8c above thia for blue
stem but there is practically nothing
doing.
Buyers are unwilling to accept these
figures and as the demand Is not really
started as yet, buyers are making no
affnrr tn secure SUDDlles by bidding an
advance. The market Is still In the mak
ing and none are in a position to state
aa yet what the prospects ars for the
Dri08-..
in tne coarse gram aiuuis uun
practically a similar situation as in
wheat. A very limited amount or oar
ley la being moved with feed quoted
generally at $23.50 but there la no spe
cial activity reported.
Wnlle mere is extreme auiinesa in ma
millatuff market owing to the abun
dance of graas, quotations ars holding
fairly steady at $24 for bran and $28
for shorts. . ....
