Good News for Farmers.

San Francisco kilograms, during the
week, have informed us that unusual ac-
tivity has prevailed there in the wheat
market, and prices have advanced very
rapidly. The price at the present writ
ing is largely in advance of that of the
corresponding period of last year, it be-
ing quoted on the 2Sth of August at
81 1902 so per hundred pounds; while
last year, on the 2Sth of the same month,
quotations were but 81 55@1 20. All
things considered, the present is the most
favorable year the producers of Oregon
have ever had. Buyers in this city are
freely offering one dollar per bushel-a
very fair, paying price for wheat. The
Portland Bsletis, states that the wheat
receipts in San Francisco the present
year are much smaller than for any pre-
vious year for many years. for the same
period. To August 23d, of last year,
the receipts were 1851 sacks; to the
same date of the present year, the re-
ceipts were $500 sacks-a falling off
of 63 ,240 sacks, or more than one-half.
Our producers can judge for themselves,
taking their data from the above figures,
whether to hold their wheat for still
higher prices, or to sell at the present re-
munerative price. This advance in pri-
ces happens at an opportune season, as
farmers generally have not disposed of
their crops, and will be left to choose for
themselves, whether they will take the
chances on further advance or sud-
| den decline in the market
