ON
TO GRAIN
FARMERS WILL NOT
LET GO OF WHEAT AT
PRESENT PRICE
Season Remarkable for Few
Large Grain Sales That
Have Been Made.

Unprecedented in the history of this
valley is the manner in which farmers
are holding on their grain this season
and warehouses are still filled with the
proceeds of the past seasons crop.
Though this may be credited with
variety OF reasc.is it is literally
fight between the large grain buyers
who have been endeavoring to bear the
market and the farmers who have ue-
cded to wait until they can at least
get so cents net for the grain. Small
instance. the sellers obtained better
prices than the market quotations or
were forced to sell small share of
their holdings IL order to meet current
expenses. Ina. even these have
closed until the market reaches a
higher point is assured from prominent
grain producers in this section of the
country and the delay now is practi-
cally a waiting game between the
shippers and the farmer.
Ruse after ruse of the buyer has
failed this year to make the grower
give.up his holdings and when the re-
part was spread that the marker was
glutted owing to the mammoth yield
throughout the country, the farmers
only smiled and sat tight. They CON
tinue to smile and feeling that the
price is bound to suit them sooner or
later as the market still cries for more
grain are willing to rest on prospects.
At the present time, the price on No.
l Standard club has reached 70 cents
per bushel net and it is now prophe
sled that it will be only a matter Of
days until the desired so cent quota
ton is obtained.

LIVE STOCK
COMESFAS1

Whether it is the desire of the
ranchers in the Walla Walla district
to sell the live stock they have been
feeding all summer for the purpose of
securing more money to blow in" at
the fair here this week. or whether
they desire TO dispose of the stock for
various other reasons. the Waila Wal
a Meat company has been receiving
large droves of hogs and catt,e this
week.
Manager Conway, of the company.
says that he is buying all the cattle
obtainable Us he desires to commence
feeding early this winter in order to
have good beef fer the later months
OF the year. Up until this morning ne
had received 1,4G0 head of cattle and
expects to receive 500 more at the
yards tomorrow
The company has shipped four car
Dably ship another tomorrow. There
are a great many hogs in this dis
triet this yea and up 10 the present
time there have been but few brought
in to the meat company's of the Val-
ley
Manager Conway of the Walla Wal
a Meat company today said:
The cattle that we have been re-
ceiving in the yards al week are of
particularly good quality and will
make excellent beef cattle. We shall
keep them all winter or the fore part
at least. and feed them on ground al
falfa, which is considered to be the
best feed to be used for fattening cat
tie We do not intend to ship any of
what were brought in this week but
shall keep them for local use this
winter.
AS to the number of hogs that are
coming in / think that we will con-
tinue to ship them until they are |
nearly all out of the country. We have
paid the highest price for the cat
tie that were brought in the past week |
that we have ever paid at this time
of the year"
