It waa bearish, but protec tion failed to follow it to any great extent. The Argentine situation continue, unchanged. Corn prlcea were slightly higher to steady. For tbe third time the government has reported tbe corn crop as being poor. These bullish reports tend to keep corn prices st their pres ent blgh mark. Ost prices were firm. Pro Visions were higher.

WARFARE CAUSE OF UNEASINESS HOLD OF WHEAT Cheese Market Is Much Firmer; Price Likely to Advance Rise In Values Here Said to Be Sore in View of the Advance in the Eastern Markets. There li tery strong tone to the cktese trade all over the country. On the basis of what competitive markets are quoting Is tbe east, this market ts safely 2H to Sc a pound too low for triplets. It would not. therefore. b4 surprising If there waa a sharp advance In tbe price of local cheese within the immediate future, although no immediate . advance la spoken of. New York market la quoting 23c for cheeee f . a. b. there, which mesne Stic a pound laid down at coast points. Wisconsin triplets are quoted st a price at present which means 22V4c landed here. For that reason practically no eastern cheeee of this quality la being sent to tbe coast. The local product, therefor, haa the entire market te Itself, which creates a much firmer toss la the general situation. AMERICAN LIVESTOCK PRICES Denver Here $9.

The trade gain is shown by September bank clearings of $58,935,037, which were $12,460,172 larger than those of the same month last year, and the largest for any September In the history of the city. The grain crops in this territory are now all harvested and the results are satisfactory in quantity and quality. The wheat crop of Oregon is estimated at 17,000,000 bushels, Washington at 33.000,000 bushels and northern Idaho at 6,000,000 bushels. Wheat selling was active during the reoent advance in prices, but the car shortage in a measure has checked operations. Water shipments of wheat from Portland in September were 128,780 bushels to Cal ifornia Since the season opened, hlpments have been 28$, 710 bushels, all to California, as. against 8,216,761 bushels in the same period last year, the grain going to Europe, South Af rica and South America, as well as to domestic porta California haa also taken all the flour shipped from Port land this season. 129,463 barrels, half the quantity forwarded in the same period last year. Flour prices have ad vanced with wheat to thetf7asls, but the high market has not checked buy- ng for shipment by rail to the eastern and southern states and to the Atlantic seaboard for trans-shipment to Eu rope. Z, umber Business Handicapped. Rail lumber business is seriously ham pered by the car shortage, but lumber men expect to be partly compensated by higher prices. Shipments by -water in September were 6,410,00 feet to Cali fornia, 62P.000 feet to Alaska and 692. 000 feet t-i the canal zone, and exports of 4,447,936 feet to South America and Australia The total of 12,169,935 feet compares with shipments of 18,208,436 feet in August and 13,878,032 feet inn September, 1915.

Allen Heist, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church at Shel don, 111., has been appointed paster of the Rose City Park Methodist church to succeed Rev. W. W. Toungson, who at the recent annual conference of the church was appointed' by Bishop Hughes as superintendent for the Fortland district. Rev. W. Riley Jeffrey Jr.. pastor of the Methodist church at Roseburg, wllp be sent to Sheldon to take the pulpit being left by Mr. Heist. Arrangement for this exchange was completed yesterday by Bishop Hughes and District Superintendent Youngson. It is all the more pleasing to the Methodist officials because Rev. Mr. Heist Is an "Oregon, boy," and they are glad to get him back Into his home conference. It so happened that Rev. Mr. Heist was on his way to Portland for a visit when his name was suggested as s successor to Dr. Toungson. So the telegrams that Bishop Hughes and Dr. Toungson sent to Sheldon for him did not reach him. The first he knew that he was being sought for the Rose City Park church was when he arrived In the city yesterday. lie is young, single, a graduate of the Northwestern university at Bv anston. 111., and a graduate of th Garrett Biblical Institute at the same place.

The Jour , nal correspondent at Condon advises that a most important new. departure ' in the method of handling grain took place in Condon on Wednesday- when the first load was handled by tha aew bulk elevator. This method will rev-; oluttonise th grain business and wUl save the farmer many dollars for saoka Th jute bag had advaneed to c tuich a high price that a few rich CHI Ham county farmers got their heads together and decided not to stand the , extortion longer. This elevator was the outcome of their deliberations. The structure cost about '$20,000-. and is probably the forerunner of many more -In eastern Oregon. The first load was hauled in by Fred Welse, a Copdon V farmer, and was quickly placed In th ' tins and the carload was shipped out in bulk on Thursday morning. The el evator has only a capacity of sbout 1 60.000.000 bushels but as fast ss it Is ' filled the grain goes from the bins to the cars. In this manner s constant . stream of wheat Is kept on the movs. -There Is no doubt of the success Of the undertaking and before many more t seasons pass all th grain In this country will go to the seaboard in bulk with a saving of thousands of dollars ' to the wheat farmer. ; Banker Successful Has Grower Miles C.
