R. & N. company In eastern Washington are limited to the Port land market because the O. It. & N. runs only to Portland and refuses to deliver wheat to the lines of the other railroads for shipment to Puget sound, that therefore the farmers referred to are Injured to the extent of from 1 Vi to S cents per bushel on all wheat thev uie obliged to sell.

R. & X. Itoud. Tcmorrow Is the dnte set for tho first wheat sales day, and for the past ftw days the coming sale has been the source -cf much conversation among farmers and gralnbuyers alike. Just what the day will bring forth remains to be sceri, but It Is thought by many that the present low prices, and the fact that many ore not ready to sell yet will prevent much wheat from being placed on the market to morrow.
