Arrangements for State Fair.

The State Board of Agricnl-
ture held two-days session in
Salem last week, during which
time all necessary committees
were appointed, the premium list
revised and all preliminary ar
rangements made for the greatest
State Fair the state of Oregon
has ever held.
The board accomplished
great amount of work for the
brief session held. Among the
most important matters transact
ed was the adoption of a resolu
ton to cooperate with the Lewis
and Clark Com mission in gather
ing up agricultural exhibits for
the 1903 State Fair, said exhibits
to be forwarded to the st. Louis
Exposition in 1904.
Every Inducement will be Of
fered to secure an excellent rep
resentation from each county in
the state at the State Fair, and
as first step in this direction
the board has decided to offer
some very tempting premiums,
which, it is thought, will rot fail
to produce the desired effect and
bring out such a display of
county exhibits as will crowd the
pavilion to its utmost capacity.
The board will offer $1,000 in
premiums this year in eight
prizes, as follows: First, 5000;

WHEAT QUIET
CLOSE FIRM
MAY Corn and Oats are Little
Higher.
MAY PROVISIONS LOWER
Visible Supply of Wheat Was
Slightly Increased.
Nay PROVISIONS LOWER

Chicago, Jan. 5.-There was only a
moderate trade on the board of trade
today and the wheat market was rather
quiet, but the close was firm, with May
&c higher May corn closed 7sdlsc higher
and oats were up sc. May provisions
closed from SC higher to 1oc lower.
Wheat was weak early on lower market
in the northwest and favorable aovices
from Argentina, with cables about
steady. Longs were disposed to unload
freely at the start and as a result there
was temporary decline, when May sold
down to 74s4c, after opening a shade
higher to &c lower. at 14xd75c to l5T
75Isc. A small increase in the visible
supply and a half million decrease in the
amount on passage caused some Of the
early sellers to turn buyers and firmer
feeling developed. Offerings became more
limited late in the day which added to
the firmness and May sold up to 751sGp
152sc, and closed at the top with gain OF
&c. The amount on passage for the week
showed a decrease of 336. 800 bushels. and
the visible supply showed an increase Of
only 81 600 bushels. Clearances of whea
and -four were equal to $4,000 bushels.

Primary receipts were $4,000 bushels.
against $4,000 bushels a year ago.
There was a fair trade in corn and
the feeling was strong, there being a
disposition among local traders to bull
the market. Covering by shorts and the
firmness in wheat were Strengthening in
fluences and the weather was rather un-
favorable for the movement. Offerings
came principally at commission houses
and pit scalpers. The close was strong.
with May 12c higher, at $40 1880, after
selling between 42s4c and 432sc. Local
receipts were 412 cars, with one OF con-
tract grade.
The bull leaders in the oats pit were
active buyers and as consequence the
market was strong. although the volume
of business was only moderate. Shorts
took fright at the attitude of the bull
clique and covered freely The close was
strong. with May sc higher, at 34d341sc
after ranging between 3Sssc and 3f.c
Local receipts were 226 cars.
Provisions were active and irregular
with considerable scattered selling
throughout the session. There was q
good demand for January lard from the
packers, and May ribs Were also in fail
demand. A rather weak hog market was
the main cause for the selling pressure
early in the day. May pork closed 10C
lower, at sl5.95; May lard was un-
changed at $3.50 and ribs were up sc, al

HOG MARKET
FIVE LOWER
Receipts Were Liberal for the
First Day of Week.
TOP AT CLOSE WAS $3.50
Cattle Receipts Light and
Market About Steady.

There was an under current Of weak
ness in the hog market yesterday. Some
claimed that the market was only weak
to shade lower but the buyers knew
they were getting their hogs cents
cheaper than last Saturday. Some of the
hogs that arrived late Saturday night
and Sunday were sold on the early mar
ket and brought Saturdays prices, but
al bids after that were cents lower.
Dold's big engine was broken late last
Saturday night, which will necessitate
his closing for a few days and the re-
suit was only one buyer on the market,
but Cudahy took all the hogs offered
until dark. Several car loads were re-
ported to arrive after the market closed,
which will be on the market today. The
top price was s6.25, but good hogs were
required to bring $500 at the close.

SHIPPERS AND NOTES.

The accident at the Dold packing house
caused regret at the stock yards. Three
of the boilers were out OF use for inspec-
ton and by over-working the others wa
ter was drawn into the engine, causing
1t to break. A machinist went to Kan
sas City on the first train TO replace
the broken part of the engine.
The Joint railroad office at the packing
houses is getting TO be about as impor-
tant as any railroad Office in the city.
The Office takes in a large amount of
money. The meat exported by Cudahy
and -four by Watson pays the entire
freight to Europe at this joint office.
That is one thing that helps out the
cas- hreceipts.

THE ANTICS OF A MAD MULE
He Plays Havoc With n Flower Gar
den and Starties the Neighbour
hood.

a large strong mule belonging to
Squire j. Parks Kirkpatrick, of
Sharon, ran away on South Tryon
street at II o'clock last night and
caused as much excitement as the adj
vent of Buffalo Bills Wild West show
Before the mule had been brought to a
stand still practically all the popula-
ton of South Tryon street had lined
n sidewalks. and a corps of policemen
We're rushing madly to the scene of ac-
ton.
The mule is Il Kentucky beast of fine
pedigree and long. athletic legs. There
is no record that ne had ever previous
ly run amuck, but when he cOIlided
with a strange. white dog in front Of
DR.. c. L. AleXander's home. he devel-
oped a terror that was fearsome to
look upon and did agile stunts that
surpassed all records made by the State
hremen when they neld their annual
contest in the same locality last year.
To the mule was hitched a heavy
uggy. but the beast was no more at
fected by the weight of the buggy tha
q cat would be concerned over the
tying of a little red string to it's tan.
In the was a young country ne
gro who went into q ste of coma
Immediately after the stampede of the
mule. Throughout the entire spectac-
ular performance be remained in the
vehicle. not because he wanted to. but
because he had collapsed and hadn't
strength enough to get out.
After the animal had gotten up
steam by running a block he turned
suddenly and hoped over the tall fence
in front of the residence of Mrs. Ger
trude Pegram. Four panels of fencing
went down in the melee, but the har-
