a nominal supply of wheat baa coma forward.
For that raaaoa th trade 1a not aa yet firmly
established on any- basis, dealers bidding in an
effort to discover a point whereby tha shipments
wut start irom law country.
Little activity is shown in tha 'hay trade heft,
with very liberal offerings from Willamette val
ley mints. Grain and timothy hay i-offered in
, abundance and while some bwdoees haa recently

Brier Notes of the Wholesale Trade
: tot the Week. .
Sharply adrtneed prices in tha market tor
butter ghovra darinf the week were principally
Uis remit of . a diminished supply of creamery
extras in tha cub trade.' due to tha warn weath
er which made it practically impassible to ship
more titan a very abort distance and bsrs us
stock arrive bere in first class condition.
While' there was aa extreme shortage f tip
top aasjitr butter in the Foctland market ai
well aa tn Paget Sound markets, plenty of ordi
nary to aoer grade staff waa offering. -
Considering tha huge stocks of patter held ia
storage at all points, tatnj in the trade toe ex
emptions to, tha advance and charged manipula
tion by tba big storing interests. .
ih TNds 1$ Hlghar
In tha eig market values were again higher
for- the week.. Receipts shewed a rather liberal
volume ant there sppared to be a very keen de
sire en the part of operators to move values high
er. . Ia soma quarters a-eporta were mada . that
the storage interests were the chief leader and
bnef actors m, the advance. Storage stock which
bad not been sufficiently long ia the ice house
to force the labeling a storage, was being
brought forward in small volume, probably te
text the trade. At prevailing prices there ap
pear aa ample - profit da pulling staff ant 'of
storage at this, time, especially -tha short-held
stock. " - ' '
Poultry Trade Is OeW
WTjlle there were occasional momenta of off
trading ia tha poultry market, tha general situa
tion here for tho week waa favorable and (prices
aela wnclianged in tha chicken division aa a rale.
Only the vera small spring or "peepers' showed
a alow tone, bat most1 receivers mixed these with
current arrivals' ia order to force their sale.
Dncks are extremely weak with prices lowered
generally. ' Arrivals ia this Una have bees rather
liberal of late.
Canned Miik I Aavanosa
Because of its effect upon the butter and
cheese trad generally the sdvanoa of 15a per
hundred pound in the buying price of raw milk
for the latter pert f July by Northwest con-
dsnsary interests, caused considerable comment.
Following this notification of a rise in the boy
log price, eondenssries advanced their quotations
on tba canned product 25e a case. .

Thin Cattle WiU
Be Forced Jlpon
Livestock Market
Owing to drouth- conditions throughout the
Pacific Northwest and especially in . Southern
Idaho knd Montana, heavy marketing of thefr
castle is expected within , a short time, which
will hare a tendency to depress the trade for
that class of stuff. - . , , '
' A matt advica. from Knoa City says; : T'
Trade calculations in markets for cattle, sheep,
grain and bay ara being - modified here and in
other important distribntiag -. oeatara on . ao
count of the development- of alsrge drouth area
in the state of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah,
Northern -Colorado and North and South Da
kota. Already . liquidation of . cattle and gheep
from these important livestock 'stt has begun.
A large premature movement of stock is expected
to arrive her, in Chicago, t St. Paul and else
where if conditions fail to improve this asonth.
In the hay trsde, supplies which norms 11 y move
eastward arepeing diverted to the drouth stricken
districts.
Commission houses in Kansas City say that
Chicago, St. Paul and other markets may re
ceive so many thin cattle from, the drouth dis
tricts ss- to reduce demand here.' It is probable
that many of the cattle forced out of the drouth
sress will be sent te the Lancaster feeding dis
trict of Pennsylvania "and to other states east of
tha Mississippi river. Similarly, mora sheep will
be marketed, snd the thin offerings probably will
be absorbed by. the East. The abnormal sup
plies in sight are already beginning to wield a
bearish influence on prices of cattle and sheep
for feeding purpose.
Idaho's irrigated districts ara reported to be
sending alfalfa to . the drouth-stricken ranges.
Some of this hay would be moving to Kansas
City today if it were not for the- drouth, snd it
would slso be used in filling orders coming from
the East. With this change in : the movement,
prices in Kansas City are higher than expected.
ft is not improbable that Nebraska alfalfa will
be diverted to the Northwest.

American Cattle
Going to Fraube
, ;In Greater Supply
' Following the recent arrival from Franca of
a commfasiKni to . negotiate for several thousand
head of dairy cattle, the United States depart
ment of agriculture points out how breeders in
this errantry tnsy help the farmers of France and
likewise - benefit the animal industry of the
United States. Tho number of cattle to be sup
plied will depend upon the ability of American
dairymen - to furnish sufficiently good animals
sf tb prices the commission is prepared to
offer.
The department has received notification, say
the Weekly News Letter of the department of
agriculture, that probably 8000 cows snd heif
ers will be purchased the first month, and-, the
number will -e increased if the animals are sat
kfaetory. The publication continue : r -
This is the seeond purchase of dairy catta far
the devastated region of France ; the first, last
April, consisted principally of 104 pure area
and grade cow and 4 pure bred bulla purchased
by the Fiwb l-'gh commission. That importa
tion by France waa in the nature of s trial osw
der. Th-w cattle and the others which will be
obtained are to be used ss foundation herds for
the devastated sections of France. Two per cent
of the total shipments, as specified by the French
officials, are to be bulls.
Certificates Required for Shipments
Department regulations governing transporta
tion of livestock xo foreign countries have been
revised, effective June 5, and apply to dairy
cattle as well as beef animals, which in past years
constituted the bulk of shipments. The regula
tions require that adequate feed, water and at
tendants, as wall ss comfortable stalls snd pens,
be furnished, so the animals will arrive in the
best passible condition.
Tho bureau of itnsrkets, through ita foreign
trade division, has arranged to have the animals
transported under "the classification of "relief,"
which makea immediate shipment possible. In
spectors of tha bureau of animal industry will
make the necessary certification to the health
of, tba export cattle and aa official health cer
tificate will accompany every shipment.
Oeapsraitlon Is Necessary
The sueeeea of livestock exportation from the
United State, the department states clearly, de
pends principally oa the cooperation of breeders.
It sppears that orders are being plsced with
other countries, including Onaada,, and repeat or
ders jrill depend oa the measure of satisfaction
given. Tba French officials have indicated their
desire for large animals of good milking quality.
Tba UniUd States department of agriculture lay
stress on the need for sending the French people
only-tbe kind of stock that will be-a credit to
the American cattle industry. The bulls espe
cially will - determine largely the future reputa
tion et our cattle and should be of conformation
and -breeding that will insure better herds in the
nexi generation.
According to the officials, the export, trade- In
dairy cattle can be established for years to come
by filling - the orders ' with animals of excellent
quality; on the other hand, the trsde may be
quickly lost by shipments, of Inferior stock. .
Argentine Corn
Crop Is Damaged
Liverpool. July 19. Broowjha.il says:
According to latest cable - advices from our
agent, crop prospects point te further deteriora
tion in the new - Argentina com crop. Rainfall
during the past fortnight 'haa been extensive
and floods have caused material damage in many
sections. It is said 50 per cent of the corn
crop will bo unfit for shipment.
It might, in fftct, bring the Argentina market
more on a parity - with the United - States snd
it would not be surprising to see soma foreign
inquiries in America II prices in America should
react somewhat.

Prohibition May Be
Blamed for Murders
SC LouleVMo.. July 19 (I. N. S.)
Jewelers want the death penalty re
stored in Missouri. They fear that with
the coming- prohibition and . the subse
quent passing- of diamond encrusted oar
tenders, bandits, deprived of what they
have lone regarded aa legitimate prey
will , turn their attention to Jewelry '
stores. Many murders. It is pointed
out, have resulted from saloon rob
beries ; therefore the selters of precious
stones are casing; Into the future with
something- akin to fear.
