IN THE WORLD Or SHEEP.
A Sale Of 100000 Pounds Of Wool at an
Advance Markets.

AoV1uSe-tu e maIketS.
SHEEP AND WooL.-The past week has
been one of unusual interest and profit
20 sheep men in this county. There
has been a raise in the price of wool
and substantial increase in the price
Of lambs, with sheep remaining steady.
The feature of the week was the sale
Of $500 lambs shipped to Chicago by
Wesley & McRae at handsome prices.
These lambs were the finest lot ever
sent out Of the northwest, and the prices
realized ranged all the way from 81 .S5 to
$3.50 per head delivered in Chicago.
Inside of thirty days 10000 lambs will
be shipped out of this county to Chi
cago. Coffin Bros. will be the largest
shippers. They are making arrange
ments to send several loads to market,
and other sheepmen will fall in line in a
few days.
Another noteworthy feature in the
sheep business is the sale OF practically
all the wool in the county. The last big
lot was disposed OF this week at an
advance Of &c per pound over the pre-
vious highest price. The 100000 lbs.
clip Of Charles McAllister and the two
years clip of Sanford K Ross were pur-
chased by Charles Scheurman for the
Pendleton securing mills. The McAllis-
ter wool brought 911ac and the Sanford x
bought of Robert Hamilton of Ellens-
at 914c. This was the biggest single sale
Washington.
FRuIT.-The first shipment OF apples
was made to the Sound this week. A
hnr nf - 10
consigned to Seattle markets at prices
ranging from Soc to 75c per box. The
early apple crop is very good this year
and low prices are looked for. The early
peach is still receiving attention by the
shippers, though the price took sud-
den fall on Monday, dropping from 75c
to30@5Oc, according to quality. Alexan-
ders still lead, but the early Crawford
will take its place about next week. The
crop is very large and prices will prob
ably be low except for the choice grades
required for the Sound markets.
The first shipment of apricots was
made on Tuesday. This fruit has COM
menced to ripen rapidly, and if the hot
weather continues there will be sud-
den rush of apricots to market. Prices
range about with peaches. Cherries are
still in demand. The early varieties are
about all picked, but considerable
crop of the late sour varieties will soon
be ready for market. Prices have ruled
high all through the season for cherries
on account of the steady demand.
BEANs.-New beans are plentiful, but
in some localities the vines are shrivel-
ing up and are not doing so well as in
previous seasons. They are quoted at
from Is to 25c per gallon
Cantaloupes will be ready for ship
ment in the next two or three weeks.
