unless they - purchase very liberal sup
plies of prunes for processing. Not
only are prunes today one of the
cheapest foods on the market but they
have a taste all their own. Sales in
the retail shops at Sc to 5c a pound.
So enormous are the supplies of corn
on the market that even the desire of
the averae stall renter on Commis
sioner Bigelow's public market, to se
cure the maximum price, does not
carry enough weight, to force all sales
at that Rather than throw the stock
away, many are selling the best com
down to 15c a dosen, although 20c re
mains the general price.
Season for cantaloupes is closing
fast but some very good local and The
Dalles stock is still available. Gen
eral sales at 5c each for the best
stock.

Wheat Trade at
Chicago Erratic;
Undertone Heavy
Chicago, Sept. 12. Wheat had a heary
undertone. The market started higher on
bnying credited to seaboard account and on
orernight 'short corering because of the strength
at Liverpool. Southwest cash houses sold on
the advance and this waa followed by local
pressure. Commission houses supported the
market on the dip but Northwest houses con
tinued to pour whest into the pit and finally
bulla tired of supporting the market, and
when they withdrew a further decline was re
corded. September liquidation appeared to be
on. There was a break of 2c to 5c in Min
neapolis cash wheat premiums. Canadian
wheat crop is now officially estimated at 388.
733.000 bushels, or over 50,000.000 bushel
in exceaa of the August estimate. " A local
house reported the sale of 270,000 bushels of
bard winter wheat now at Montreal at 13c
orer September f. o. b. Montreal for export.
Strength in Liverpool September waa at
tributed to buying by millers. Reports of rail
strike settlement induced some selling.
Corn was weak. There waa support from
the pit trade esrly but the pressure of liquidat
ing sales and selling by some of the bear lead
ers caused prices to dip. Crop reports indi
cate that the damage by the recent drought
was not so severe as reported a week ago.
Cash corn lost some of its premium, the great
est weakness being on the lower grades. Iocal
houses sold 60,000 bushels of corn to export
ers and seaboard reported 100,000 bushels
worked for export.
Oats were lower with other grains. Trade
was slow and without interest.
ProTisions were easier. Commission houses
led the 'Selling. Psckera' brokers supported the
market.

COTT02C MARKET ERRATIC
OVER GI5SEB8' REPORT
New York. Sept. 12. The cotton market
showed symptoms of uncertainty today. The
small crop prospect ia responsible ,or Terv
general confidence In ultimate values, but
the trade still wonders whether the outturn
of the gins, which will be ateadiv increasing
for tlie next month can be absorbed without
temporary declines.
Whenever there is only slackening of
demand tliis possibility of a break under
the weight of the baits comes to the front
in market calculations and promotes liquida
tion of long accounts if it does not inspire
some speculative selling for the aeetlne.
On brtsaks. however, the bullish view of ul
timate values asserts itself through trade or
investment tarring, and the market is financ
ing between these conflicting influences, which
for the past month or more have seemed
strong enough to hold prioea between the
20 and 23c levels.
The market opened steady at an advance
of 8 to 13 points, sold 10 to 13 points
net lower right after the call, then rallied
on the National Ginnem report, pointing
to a crop of only 9.900,000 bales. Decem
ber sold up from $21.66 to $21.85 but
met increase offerings at the higher price
and eased oft with the latter market Ir
reeular. Despite conflicting influences hte cotton
market maintained some ground today. At
one time in the afternoon December sold
well above the 22 cent level, but some realis
ing came in before the close, reducing the
earlier gains. The net advance waa 80 to 34
point.

tiie same condition ia general on the eoast.
The excessive amount of dry weather during
the summer ia given as the cause of the short

of tbe lack of transportation facili
ties, a somewhat atronger tone ia Indicated In
the hay trade, but there ia also a holding
tendency on the part oi many growers.
All hay are quo tod strong, but not enough
stock is coming, because of the lack of cars
for shipment. Willamette ralley growers are
asking $20 for oat-retch hay. Portland deliT
ery. but buyers are not offering above $19.
Tery little clover hay appears for sale in
the valley, with growers' price ideas firm
at $20, Portland, but only $17 being offered.
Demand for straw is active around $7.50 per
ton
Foreign markets were somewhat mixed in
character Tuesday with a loss at Buenos
Aires and higher to lower figures at Liverpool.
Chicago options were easier and lower in the
early trade.
Local wheat activity is not liberal because of
the unwillingness of the country to accept
current values. Premiums on club wheat for
immediate deliTery continue, but there ia
practically no activity noted on milling wheats.
Trend ot the flour trade is very uiat and

ing to officials of the company.
TRADE IK DRYGOODS MARKET
New York, Sept. 12. Uncertainties con
nected with the production, sale and distribu
tion of cotton cloths tended to hold down the
volume of trading today and to make traders
chary of making commitments tor future de
livery. The extension 6f the wage increase in
the New England mills waa one of these fac
tors and the rail strike situation was another.
Prices, however, were firmly maintained and
a fairly good volume of trading was put
through in standard print cloths, sheetings,
sateens, drills and pa jam checks.
There waa a moderate amount of business
transacted in the silk market, with the pre
vailing prlos levels subject to some shading in
individual instances.
