By Joseph P. PXtchard
Chicago, June 21. (L M. B.) The entire
speeulatira list on the board of trade showed
price gains and tha valuee of tha day wara well
held at tha close. Corn waa up tt 9 1 H e with
tha June the stronger of the list Oats wara
91Ha higher and proriaione war up 80
eic
Chicago, June 21. (L N. S.) Corn waa
lower at tha opening of the market today on
g continuation of scattered selling by com
mission house. At tba tow point, July corn
was tL 1 H c and 6 e under the top of Mon
day.
Buying stirred a little around 11.414
which ateadicd the market and caused a small
rally, but it waa lost later.
On tha oats side, while it followed the corn
to below last night's close, the undertone was
easy with houses with eastern connection selling.
Tha local element waa generally on the selling
side.
ProTisiona ware dull and unchanged.

BIDGEFIELD HAY CHOP PROVES
WITHIX FRACTION OF NORMAL
Ridgefield. Wuh.. June 21. The harvesting
of the first hay crop of the season in this part
of tha eountjr baa commenced and ia being
rushed during the present good weather, which
appears will give way to rain soon. Despite the
drouth tha yield is nearly as heavy as that of
but year, but the quality is not so good. Hay
making will continue around here until after
the first of July, unless rain sets in.
On account of the scarcity of farmhands,
which is dua to the fact that g number of tha
young men gra serving their country while oth
ers are at work in the various shipyards in Van
couver and Portland, some delay is being experi
enced in taking care of the hgy cropc
Under normal conditions each farmer gener
ally had one or mare hired hands-to help him
during haying season, but now nearly all of tnem
have left, and the farmers are helping each
other. In some instances women and girl are
helping make hay, gnd are proving efficient in
every way.

Willamette valley grain eropa are even in a
won condition than had been generally reported.
Vast areae will not be harvested at all this season,
du both to the ravage of tba aphid and the
extreme dry weather. While the fall wheat in
aoma (actions of tba Willamette valley is quite
favorable, tha general condition is the worst
known to the local trad.
Tha shortage in the Willamette valley hay
crop win be moat severely felt, and this ta already
affecting dairy interest. The damage to thia
crop extend from Portland to the Oakfornig line,
and beyond that
Some sections will have no ha v ernn to aneak

of tha normal output. In no instance is the pro
duction of hay in tha valley expected to reach
mora than half the normal.

000 pounds.
The normal crop in tha North west has pro
duced 42.000,000 pounds. From present tndlca-
