Wheat reached a higher price yesterday than it has at any time within the past three years. In the afternoon bluestem was quoted at 85 cents and club at 82 cents. Tteceipts of wheat at this port are gradually growing larger, and still they are very light for this season of the year. Millers are talcing practi cally all the wheat that has reached Tacoma thus far, the prices being higher than expor'ers feel warranted In paying. The onty deals being made among buyers are transactions between th exporters and millers, whereby the former dispose of their high-priced Wheat. c' ; o new rnarters ror grain carriers are reported. The charter of a single ship to load grain at Portland last week created more talk mong the wheat men and shipping men in Ta coma than the chartering of a fleet would have created last season. J" Many Inquiries are being received from South Africa and It is likely that when priaes are adjusted with export ing values that continent will share with Europe wheat exported from Ta coma. A well-informed Tacoma wheat man says that not more than 8,000.000 bushels of wheat will be .exported from Tacoma this year, although he thinks that the flour exportation will be ,th heaviest in the history of the port.

CHITJEW BARK, 16 CENTS THE PEOPLE OF EUGENE ARE BUSY PEELING THE ' f TREES. EUGENE. Or, Sept. 4. The high price of chittlm or cascara bark has had a great influence on the peelers In the country districts: A few weeks ago the bark was reported as sticking to the trees in such a manner that it was impossible to get it off in shape for the market. Agents of various merchants of the county, however, have been among the peelers and owners of chit- tim bark, , and the result is that the bark has come off in great nuantities. The price has gradually climbed a frao tion of a cent and a cent at a time until now the bark Is worth 16 cents a pound right here in Eugene. Buyers can pay this price and ship, to New York and Hamburg at a good profit. It Is thousrht that advices received from the East instructing coast agents to pay as high as 20 cents per pound for the bark have been received. , The dealers here then would be able o pay something like 17 ; cents before they would be compelled to Quit. i This Is an astonishing mark for chit tlm bark. A very few weeks ago a prominent buyer was beard at the- tele phone talking with . a prospective sell er of bark, and he was making figures at 4 1-2. 6 and 6 1-2 cents per pound. Many of these buyers will make good money on their investments. Enormous profits on the stuff will be made this year. ; The peelers are doing fine and stripping every tree with bark on it.
