F0REIONERS AFTER WHEAT.
Foreign demand for Pacific- coast wheat is
showing a very liberal increase, despite the at
tempts of some of the trade to keep the busi
ness quiet. Following the enormous buying on
the Atlantic coast, which forced wheat prices
to bushel higher at Chicago, there was an
advance of 8 to 4c on the Portland Merchants
Exchange. There wag no business because
holders were aaklng- higher prices. Bloestem
wheat went to $1.06 hid, and other varieties
made a new high record for new crop offerings.

an extended trip ending at Fosil'.
"Tbe hay crop of ceutral Oregon la the big
gest known," aaya Mr. Beck ley, "and the
$tss 1 tbe best I hve ever seen. Cattle are
in excellent condition and are ready for the
market, although some of them could probably
take on more fat.
"The wheat crop Is really wonderful. In the
Mayvllle section, near Condon, the crop Is ex
tremely favorable; In fact it la the best I have
evei" known. I also traveled through Sherman
county, and aaw wonderful wheat crops In
thst section."
The wheat market showed slight weskness
aDroad, as well as at Chicago during the early
trading, although some of the big interests of
the east are reported as accumulating sup
plies on every price alp.

Foreigners Taking
More of Our Wheat
Chicago, Aug. - 1. (I. N. S.) Hesvv pil
n.ary recelpta of whe:it acted as a balance
wheel against crop deterioration in the north
west today. Opening prices, for ptember
anr1 December; grain were fractionally under,
but In the first hour llgbt recovery was
posted. It was evident that foreigners are
taking American wheat on a mure liberal
basis, and It la a well known fact that their
requirements are large. While there was some
substantial selling In tbe opening session. It
waa evident that aome of the most conserva
tive bouses were accumulating on the alight
recessions.
Corn, a usual, followed the course stsb
llsbed by wheat. Scattered rain In the e.irn
belt gave an easier tone to the market, hut
there waa no denying that a great many re
sponsible trsders sre friendly to the cereal,
even at present prices.
Oats were almost without festure. Trading
waa on a limited scale aud prices, did nothing
of Interest. The market held well under
hedging pressure.

The severe weakness In the cattle market
here shows no sign of abatement. While there
were Intervals recently when the market looked
as If It would do better, this wss shown only
when there was nothing In algbt to test quota
tions. A long as retail trade conditions la the Pa
cific northwest are aa poor aa at present, there
la not likely to be much Improvement in the
cattle situation.
Prevailing cattle prices, while ssmewhat
lower than what had been previously paid here,
are still high as compared with what Is usually
paid when local grassers come forsrard. Tbe
movement of grass stuff is now on, and plenti
ful supplle are anticipated for the immediate
future, although there waa ouly a handful of
stuff In over-night.

SUFFRAGE
Republican Candidate Thinks
Matter Should Be Settled
Without Delay,
New York. Aug. 1. (U. P.) Charles
K. Hughes today declared for a woman
suffrage amendment to the constitu
tion, in a telegram sent George Suth
erland of Utah.
"My views Is that the proposed
amendment should be submitted and
ratified," the Republican candidate
said in his telegram to the Utah sen
ator. The telegram which evoked Hughes'
declaration for a federal amendment
for eyual suffrage was as follows:
"You will, no doubt, recall our con
versation a few days ago when I
urged you to make public your views
with regard to the equal suffrage
federal amendment. 1 leel quite sure
there is nothing In the Republican
platform which in any manner would
conflict with such a declaration.
Silent Upon Amendment.
"That platform commits the party
to the principle of woman suffrage and
recognizes the right of each state to
determine the question for itself, it
is silent upon the subject of the con
stitutional amendment, and therefore
leaves everybody of the party free to
determine for himself this question.
The submission of the amendment is
desired by many millions of voters,
and 1 think the day has come when
congress should recogni-e the wide
spread desire by adoj.tlng the resolu
tion of submission and thus enabling
the states to pass upon the que st ion.
which, without the preliminary action
of congress, they would be prevented
from doing. There is a feeling of In
tense interest in all these states in
respect to your attitude, and I think
It most important that you, as soon as
possible, state publicly your personal
position in respect to the matter
(Signed) "GEORGE SUTHERLAND."
Hngns Wires Answer.
To this telegram Hughes replied:
"My Dear Senator: Your telegram
has been received. Irf my answer to
the notification. I did not refer to th?
proposed federal amendment relntln
to woman's suffrage, and this was not
mentioned in the platform. I have no
objection, however, to stating my per
sonal views. As I said In my speech
1 think it to be most desirable that the
question of woman's suffrage should
be settled promptly. The question Is
of such a nature that It should be set
tled for the entire country.
"My view Is that the proposed
amendment should be submitted and
ratified and the subject removed from
political discussion. Very sincerely
yours,
"CHARLES EVANS HUGHES."
