roads to haul the grain east fast as it is bought
This demand has caused advances in wheat and flour
all over the country, though wheat has shown some
recessions from the high prices at Chicago during
the past several days. These are golden times for
the wheat farmers. Provisions are also showing
more fmness The corn and cotton crops are still
matter of some uncertainty but large crops of both
seem reasonably assured Wool continues firm and
active at all important centers. The buying of hops
has been unprecedented and though the 1904 yield
is not yet fully prepared for market, all but small
fraction of it has already passed out Of the growers
hands and, what is especially gratifying, at extreme
ly high prices. More activity in pig iron is reported
and those conversant with the trade are predicting
better times in this industry. Large purchases of
hides in western markets have strengthened prices
there, So it will be seen that the countrys great
staples are in most excellent condition. and this alone
almost assures another year of prosperity.
Thus far the movement of the crops, now CON-
mencing, has produced an apprecable effect on the
money market. Rates are naturally little firmer
but advance of any consequence has occurred and
no future strngency is expected.
Our local situation remains about as before. A
week ago it was feared that widespread damage had
been caused by the severe September rains and, in
deed, the dry feed has been seriously damaged But
fortunately the storm was followed by hot drying
north wind which did much to modify the effects of
the storm. Grapes, hay, beans, tomatoes and some
grain on river banks have been injured, but the
ground has received such thorough wetting that
unusually early plowing can be begun, so that the
rain was not such an unmixed evil after all. What
we want now is showers enough to keep the feed
growing until the regular winter rains set in and if
we get them we may consider ourselves fairly EN-.
barked upon another year of agricultural and com.
mercial prosperity

EURoPE's SHORT FOOD SUPPLY.

According to statistics already Of record sup
plemented by estimates from the most reliable Of
fetal sources, most of the leading cereal crops Of
Prussia spring wheat winter rye, barley and oats
leo be more specifc-show marked falling of
this year from the yield of 1903, owing chiefly to
the drought that has been ong-contnued and widely
extended in that country. Winter wheat is the only
German cereal crop that will show an increase this
year-an advance from 1,759,952 metric tons in
1903 to 2,200965 tons in 1904. But the net deficit
in all six crops this year will be 1,132,76S tons;
and all of this shortage-or as much of it as pos.
sible-wll have to be met by increased importatons
There is also falling off in the yield of forage,
fruits and dairy products in Prussia this year.
Russia, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and
France are all in similar situation to that of Ger.
many, and have little or no surplus for export In
creased importations, if they are to be obtained at
all, will have to come from distant sources-Ar
gentina Canada, Australasia and the United States
There will be an increased demand in Germany
not only for corn, wheat and rye from the United
States but for fresh and preserved fruit dried and
salted fish and such meats as the present inspection
law of Germany permits to be imported.
As for the United States, it will have less grain
for export this year than last-even if the home de-
mand for it were to be no greater than it was
year ago-and this is especially true of wheat And
thus the situation abroad is not one calculated to
depress the prices of agricultural products in this
country. In the absence of bumper" crops the
law of the compensations does not appear to be
passing the United States by in 1904

THE SUMMER FALLoWED FARM.

Rudolph Goldman gives an interesting story Of
success on his summer fallowed farm in Lincoln
county, says the Seattle Post -Tntelligencer. The
land comprises section, Of $40 acres, near the
town of Harrington. Of this tract 500 acres were
planted to wheat this year. The owner had nothing
to do with the work except to pay the bills. When
the grain was threshed it sold for rs cents pei
bushel After paying all expenses the crop return.
led profit of $5,S33.25 The income was for two
years, but it paid over Is per cent on the investment
in land at $50 an acre.
The Harrington Citizen publishes the figures a;
given by the owner of this valuable tract The farm
was plowed last season at cost of 81 an acre, OF
$500. Seed cost $3.50 and planting it required an
expenditure Of $500 Harvesting was performed
by contract and, cost $1462 Grain sacks were pur.
chased in bales and cost $685. The expense of haul
ing the grain to market was 5000. Thus the wheat
grower had an expenditure of 1886. The crop was
sold for $9368.25, leaving him the balance of $5,
838.25 for profit.

TRADE STILL IMPROVING.

The last quarter of the year, upon which we have
entered according to the estimates Of nanciers and
posted business men, will probably end better than
It began, says the San Francisco Call. AS already
mentioned, there has been gradual expansion in
trade during the past month or two which
has extended all over the country. This is
due to the decreased production of many
commodities which has allowed the demand
10 again overtake the supply, the settle
nent Of several important labor disturbances, good
@up prospects, continued abundance of money, a
gratifying absence of the usual apprehensions pre-
eeding presidential election, belief that there
will be no deleterious changes in financial and tariff
conditions for a year at least, and an increasing
dEmand for all sorts of merchandise throughout the
country These encouraging conditions are reflected
m larger volume of bank clearings, improved col
kcfiOns in many parts of the country visible ad-
vance in the jobbing and retail trades, increasing
railway earnings, an upward tendency in railway
and industrial stocks in New York. and in numerous
minor ways which cannot be fully enuncated here.
But the improvement is with us and is perceptible
to everybody conversant with the trade situation.
The great staples are especially exhibiting mark
ed Improvement. There is heavy demand for wheat
all over the country to satisfy largey-increased de-
mand for -four. The millers are buying wheat ev-
@ywhere They have even entered the two north
ann Pacific states as heavy buyers, have already pur
chased 100000 or 100000 bushels and would
now be taking great deal more were they not com
peled to pause by the inability of the overland rail

SHOW YOUR PATRIOTISM.

All good Astorians will attend the joint meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce and the Push
Club this evening Astoria s interests are deeply
involved and the Astorians to whom Astoria always
books in times of need must again display their
public spirit.
It is idle for The Astorian to further point out
the need of modern hotel The subject has been
discussed until the veriest itineran is fully acquaint
ed with the situation. 1t is patent to everyone that
the eity's greatest present need is large hotel,
which would do more to attract capital to Astoria
than almost anything else which could be advocated
Astoria has always bought what it wanted 1t
has contributed literally to secure new enterprises
for the city, and the present era of expansion has
resulted 1t is about to reap the returns Of its
puhicspirit. The population has undergone great
change in the past three years and new people are
constantly arriving On every hand new homes and
business buildings are being erected yet there
q persistent demand for more homes and business
houses
Some of us perhaps may not realize it, but As
tnras long deferred day has arrived The city has
entered upon its era of prosperity. In the next
ave years it will treble its population and COM
mercial wealth. From small, lively fishing center
4 will grow into metropolis and in time outstrip
all the other cities of the coast. Nature decreed
that the greatest city of the west should be built
sf the mouth Of the Columbia and natures decree
viii be realized
But nature is crying out for assistance She
Has provided us with our fisheries and our mag
nifeent forests but she can neither prepare the
fsh for market nor cut the trees into lumber. She
has provided us with the most glorious climate in
the world but she cannot bring the people here
nor care for them after they arrive The people of
Astoria must do these things They are preparing
the fish and have made an excellent start in lum-
bcring, but they have thus far neglected to care
for those thousands of people who come to the city
every month They are now called upon to look
after this detail.
A start in that direction will be made tonight, |
when the commercial bodies will meet at the Cham
ber Of Commerce rooms. All loyal Astorians will |

The penalty for the crime OF which
Senator Burton Is convicted Is a fine OF
not more than SIC. 200 and inPrison-
ment for not more than two years. Il
must be, however. both a fine and i'm
Prisonment, and each separate count
upon which he Is convicted constitutes
a violation Of the law and he can be
sentenced upon each count. The pen
