By 5 o'clock the queen, by going by way of EIolborn and Oxford streets, had re- turned to Buckingham palace. It was repetition of the jubilee drive, with the exception that it was so hastily planned that no attempts at decoration could be capried out. But, considering the short space of time, 1t was astonishing to see the number of flags whiccl appeared along the route followed oy Her Majesty. Many American flags were d.solayed by American concerns and Americans on the streets.

Raising More Grain In Harney.

Competent authority has estimated that
10000 bushels Of wheat are necessary to
supply the flour consumed In Harney
county IN one year. As is always the
case in new communities Of like character,
Harney tounty's wheat fields have reached
their present proportions out Of slow
growth and gradual development. This
condition has resulted from natural causes.
The tension OF our peoples industry has
been centered IN the growth Of live
stock. There was the same doubt
of the adaptability Of soil and climate
as characterized the early days Of
Minnesota and the Dakotas. Export
markets were denied by the great distance
from railroad transportation, and until re.
Gently no means we're at hand to utilize
our wheat product for flour. BIT all this
Is changing. MANY of our ranchers are
turning their attention TO farm products,
among which wheat Is proving satisfac.
torv. We now have at Burns a complete
milling plant, and careful observers say
our home market is adequate for the above
named amount Of wheat. It therefore
seems that IN the matter OF our hreadstuffs
Harney county farmers and business men

SALE OF THE RED BOY
London Syndicate Pays More
Than Two Millions.

A Serips.McRae press dispatch from
London, dated the sixth instant, says:
"lt Is stated in financial circles here that
the Red Boy mine, near baker City, Ore,
has been purchased BY an English syndi.
cate as the result Of the visit to London
last year Of one Of the owners OF that
property. The syndicate is TO pay about
two and one half million dollars for the
property. Before the deal vii. have been
closed they have furnished the present
owners with about 100000 worth OF
machinery and have instructed them to
sink the mine another thousand feet, for
which the syndicate paws. After this
work Is done, II the mine still holds out,
AS II Is believed II will, the balance Of the
purchase price will be paid. This viii be
the first deep work done in that mining
district and is considered very important
In all mining circles.'
The report Of the sale of the Red Boy
has been current here for months past,
ever since Mr.. Godfrey, one OF the owners,
was In London last winter. Since the
company began putting In deep sinking
machinery, the report has been revived
and this is the way the story now runs.
The deal goes through on certain con.
ditions, for certain unknown figures. The
London syndicate furnishes the money
for the deep sinking, to be done under
Mr.. Godfrey's supervision. At a depth
Of 500 feet the Englishmen may take the
property at a stated figure, or they may
demand that the shaft be sunk another
500 feet; when, II they want the mine,
they will have to pay a much larger sum.
They are simply spending hundred
thousand or 50 IN order to protect them.
selves against a possible bad investment
of several millions.
OF course no confirmation Of this sale
can be secured from those directly In.
terested IN the property and the deal here.
Mr.. Godfrey's own org;n, the Blue
Mountain American, a paper, published In
Sumpter, took occasion some months
since to deny the report in terms SO EN-.
phatic that It was suggestive OF too strong
protest.

PRICES PUT UP
 IN WALL STREET
Selling Movement Made Some Wide Breaches in Figures.
SHORTS WERE ELIMINATED
Uneasiness Continues Over the Reac- tionary Tendency of Business, Es- pecially Over the Decline in Freight
 Traffic Bond Market Dull

New York, May 29.-Several incidents helped professional traders in putting up prices of stocks today. A selling move ment in the last fifteen minutes of trading made some wide breaches in values, and the closing was rather weak, but with net gains saved for the majority of stocks.
 Sugar continued to occupy a prepondering share of attention. A further advance of 10c per 100 pounds in the price of refined sugar was the occasion of the strength in the stock. The American company led in the advance, and it's competitor in the trade quickly followed.
 Wall street gave much attention to the movements of representatives of various companies as bearing on the problem whether the rival interests had or had not come to an agreement for a settlement of the trade war.
 The moderate price movement in the stock in view of the news seemed to indi- cate that short interest had been largely eliminated. After advancing something over points, proft-taking turned the price backwards. London bought stocks here to the extent of 10000 shares.
 Uneasiness continues over the reaction ary tendency of business, and especially over the decline in freight traffic and well defined reports of cutting of rates. The heed of rain in the spring wheat belt is also cause of anxiety.
 The bond market was very dull, and price movement was irregular. Total sales $1,535,OO0.
