If the state printer cannot be put on

when can It be done? According to

attention to the necessity of reform.
All the present abuses and violations
of the law are in spite of the consti-

Good Reasons.

which they all agreed TO stand when
they accepted places on the Republi.
can ticket. That is the least that
could be expected of honest and con
slstent Republicans who are honestly
opposed to a special session. II they
oppose a special session TO enact the
provisions of the Republican platform
they should declare their willingness
to abide by a fiat salary law at the
regular session and not put of the re-

Pressure is being brought TO bear
on Governor Geer from Linn county,
where the State Prlnter-elect resides,
against calling a special session. The
political friends OF Mr. Whitney and
his political managers who probably
put up for his campaign funds, are
telling the governor Il will be very
bad politics for him TO call q special
session, that II is all a trick of the
Oregonian TO defeat him for United
States senator. etc. As the state
printing and binding Is costing the
taxpayers in the neighborhood of S40,-
900 10 $50 900 year, and as the state
printer is said 90 make half that
amount, no matter who he has to
"divy up" with, the clamor against a
special session from Albany Is
significant. It disproves the constant
assertions Of the Oregonian that the
special session can do nothing to put
the state printer on a salary. Mr.
Whitney and his political managers
in Linn county do not believe what
they read in the paper at Portland.

CHICAGO MARX cts.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Calamity overlook
the bulls in the provision pit to-day.
The downhill course of all grains dur
ing the week, and especially the pre-
cipitous decline in corn, had taken all
the faith from holders in all the spec
ulative pits. AS further argument
against the bulls corn broke again
early in the day. This was too much
for the provision crowd, and an ava
lanche of stop loss selling orders
swamped the pit. Pork made the
greatest break, so cents, but other
products kept company. While
stampede was working havoc in pro-
visions the grain crowds came to the
belief that bottom prices had been
reached. Covering on a tremendous
scale took place. Corn shorts covered
by the millions. The bearish condi-
lions of weather and fine crops worked
against a rally but in the end every
thing on the floor reacted. September
corn closed M@Ac up, September
wheat a shade lower, and September
oats &c lower. Provisions closed 7k0

Murphy q Co.'s Grain Letter.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 9.-There has
been but little change in wheat prices
to-day. Early weakness of corn
caused a small decline, but this was
recovered later and the market closed
about unchanged for September, and a
little higher for December and May.
There was big trade with general in
clination toward selling side, but buy
ing was in sufficient volume to check
declining tendency. Selling was on big
receipts and buying on rains in North
west and indications for more. In
spite of big receipts they were buying
wheat in this market, Love taking large
quantities, supposed to be for st. Louis
account. There were no cables to-
day. The outside markets were firmer
than ours, particularly in the North
west.
Corn showed considerable recupera-
tive power late in the session, and re-
acted over q cent from low point after
selling down to 50% for September.
There was enormous covering all day
Early selling was quite general and
support came principally from Cudahy
and Harris. Patten was a big buyer
of December, talking bullish on It..
The market was so weak that 1t caused
weakness in everything on the floor.
Later in the session there less dispo-
sition to sell.
There was general selling OF oats,
early by commission houses, and prices
sold off &c to 1c. Principal selling
was led by Bartlett, Fraser and 9TH
ers. There was demand for May on the
break from Patten and others. There
was a big general trade with the
weakness in corn having its effect
and with the corn rally helping oats
toward partial recovery. Cash mar

The Morning News Office,
Saturday, Aug. 9.
With the leading markets here and
abroad closed to-day in observance of
the coronation of King Edward, opera
tons in commercial circles were quiet.
At Chicago there was some animation
in the grain markets, which was about
the only trading of interest during the
day.
AS the stime for the movement of
the cotton crop approaches the de-
mands of spinners are gradually grow
ing urgent, and unless considerable
cotton reaches consumers before long,
prices are very apt to show gains, ac-
cording to the best opinion. For some
time it has been a matter of common
understanding that spinners' stocks
are low, and that they will need early
cotton Those returning here from the
milling districts report this. The trade
have advised holders and prospective
holders of cotton of conditions in this
regard. Significance is attached to the
condition of spinners, for the reason
that it promises to have bullish effect
upon the market unless the present
demands are satisfied. Commenting
upon this, the New York Evening Post
says:
The demand for desirable grades of
cotton is good enough at present to
cause those who want cotton for spin
ming purposes to offer premium of
IS to As points over the current mar
ket price of the August option for such
contracts as will run about even on de-
sirable grades. That is to say, if buy
er can be assured that a contract of
100 bales will contain a majority of
bales that will grade something not
lower than strict low middling cotton
and not above good middling, he will
offer to pay 80 to 80 points above the
current quotation in the pit for the
August option. 1t is thought that this
has had considerable to do with caus-
ing the covering movement which has
been going on the last few days among
the outstanding short interest in the
August option. To-day that cotton was
one of the most active dealt in of the
list, and it maintained it's maximum
advance throughout the morning and
early afternoon, and it's quoted price
of S.30c compared with S.03c,. the low
est quotation reached for it about two
weeks ago, when it broke under bear
pressure simultaneously with the de-
livery at that time Of $4,000 bales of
July cotton to holders of July con-
tracts.
