Large Amount of Old Wheat Still in
the Hands Of the Farmers
Of WaiIa WalIa.

Walla Walla is on a waiting market
these days. No new grain has yet
come in and not enough hay to affect
prices much. Only one or two of the
small fruits are in their prime just
now.
The wheat market is not open yet
ana VIII be later in opening this year
than usual. In past years the first
patches of wheat have been gobbled
up by hungry millers at rafting good
prices but there is no scarcity this year
because there is plenty of old wheat
left over which is being offered at
reasonable prices. The Orient also
does not seem to be particularly anx-
lous for wheat just at this time.
| Wheat is generally selling at from So
to so cents, that is old wheat
There is not enough new wheat in
the country to charter a vessel SO
buyers must depend on future prices"
said j. Z. Smith, of Kerr, Clifford &
Company. but when the market does
open it will open upon an export
basis
In hay prices remain about the same
dropped 81, although very little new
hay has come INTO town yet. 1t will
soon fall rapidly
In the meat line buying prices re-
main steady and low. All kinds of
stock are very plentiful and grass fed
cattle are of very good quality.
In the fruit line blackberries are it.
The market is full of fine large ones
at four boxes for % cents and they
have dropped to $3.50 a crate retail.
Strawberries are all gone. but some
raspberries remain at about the same
price. Green corn made its appearance
this week. Clingstone peaches are
quite plentiful in the market but still
command good stiff price. Apricots
also are seen in all produce stores.
Cherries are about gone although a
few black ones are still being shipped
out.
In the fish line black cod is the only
new addition of the week.
Old potatoes are thing Of the past,
but new ones are good, cheap and
plenty.

we can gather from over the dis

large majority. Col. Morris and
some of his followers are making
all the noise they possibly can,
claiming the earth, but this IS
done to get up a Morris boom, to
change the tide which is entirely
in Gober's favor. Gober will carry
every county in the circuit unless
he losses Gilmer county, and his
