CANTALOUP MARKET PRODUC $59 Bearish Trend of Grain Market Is Covered by Europe Further DecIIao Looked for by Nw Yorkers as AectuniilAtJon Grows. , . New York, Aug. 16. The New York Herald says: Sentiment of, the grain trade is extremely bearish. "Exporters who study the situation closely say there u' so little wheat sold abroad that when the present holes are filled up and grain commences to iccumulate prices are .likely to decline sharply. There has been a setback in; -the winter wheat owing to the nearness in the deliveries of Manitoba. ' which are relatively cheaper, and are expected to tie Better tbanj winters, and It is regarded as a reasonable argument. Hedging sales are expected from now on and traders generally s?e more to, put prices down than at any previous tlmtg this season. "A few of the corn Bpeeialists consldet the buying of a better clars than the selling. The market, however, is a sn&ll one and they are not looking for much change in prices. They say It will be difficult to bull corn with wheat values declining." firsts. 25c: seconds. 24c; prints : and cartons extra: country creamery cubes, '24Vfc425bc; Oreson dairy. 18Q1&C bUTTLltf AT Jo. 1 fort land delivery, 2Sc; No. 2. 23Q26c.

INSTALLED COAST LINERS New Method of Handling Prisoners Proposed to Save Money, r . - ; WOULD ELIMINATE GUARD State Parol OfTloer Joe Keller B . turns Trom San Fravnoisco with Man la Custody. The steamers Northern Pacific and Great Northern may become modern "Prison ships' If suggestions made by State Parole . Officer Joe Keller and looked upori-. favorably by officers of the company are carried but. Cells with bunks for four prisoners will probably be bul.lt on each boat thus making the bringing of prisoners from California points and the taking of prisoners to California safer. Should these cells be provided. Sher iff Hurlburt suggests that sending vt officers to San Francisco for prisoners would be unnecessary as prisoners cculd be placed on board the boats by authorities there and taken from thd vessels by local officers at Astoria. This, it is pointed, out, would save the state and counties much money. Has Two Ken In Custody. Keller returned this morning with Louis JPeldman, alias Fellerbaum, 17 years old, wanted on a charge of pass ing checks to which the name of Dep uty District Attorney Thomas G. Rjan were forged, and W. C. Galloway, a parole violator, ; sentenced from Baker for from one to five yeara and paroled after serving one year. Keller said that Galloway issued a $900 bad check in payment for an au tomobile in San Francisco. "I went in to look at a car," he said Galloway told him, '"and the salesman tried to bunco me. tI thought I'd play the same game and gave him the bum check." 1 Feldman was arrested in Oakland and will face a charge in Portland of passing worthless checks. Would Bay Anything. "Feldman said he would buy any thing if only he could pay for It in checks," said Keller. "He offered to buy - the Northern Pacific, while we were talking to the purser coming up and I guess would have-done it If he could have given a check." Keller took with him a device by which he could handcuff a prisoner to a suitcase in such a way that the handcuff would not show. The Idea is Keller'a and the model was made by George Zerr, a prisoner in the peniten tiary, who before incarceration had charge of the steel work on the Mult nomah county jail. Keller will take Galloway back to Salem today. Would See County Protected. In a letter which will be submitted to the county commissioners at their next meeting District Attorney Evans this morning advised them that they have no authority to move the ferry "Webster from its run in Portland to the Vancouver ferry route for the Clarke county fair, September 6 to 11. He suggested that should the boat be moved and rented to the Portland Railway, Light & Power company as proposed, the members indemnify themselves and the county against possible loss of the boat from fire or other extraordinary cause.
