COFFEE UP AND

Record Price Reached for Coffee
When it Goes Up to
1898.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-A record
price was established at the coffee ex-
change when September coffee sold
at 1898 cents. This was the result
of a liberal demand from shorts.
Sugar seemed to be on the down
grade. The fact that Arbuckle Broth
ers were taking orders for granulated
sugar at 6.75 cents net, less per
cent for cash, was taken by sugar
brokers to mean lower prices for the
refined product in the near future.

FORMER LOCAL MAN
TALKS Of SHEEP

The following story from the Ba-
Her Herald of yesterday is about a
former Pendletonian, president of the
old Pendleton Savings Bank:
one OF the notable men In attend
ance upon the Wool Growers meet
ing is the Hon Monte Is. Gwinn, of
Boise. Mr.. Gwinn IS not only one of
She largest sheep men in Idaho, but
Is prominent in financial circles, be-
ing a director in the First National
Bank of Boise For many years he
represented a life insurance company
snd invested his surplus earning in
sheep until today he is one of the
largest flockmasters in Oregon, hav-
ing his ranch in Malheur county. He
Is also prominent in the /. .. Q. F.,
and a director in the association of
wool growers who conduct a ware
house in Chicago. y few years ago
ne accepted the presidency of the
American National bank of Pendleton
which he built up to a million dollar
anstitution and then resigned to de-
vote his time to the sheep industry.
Il am looking forward to better
times for the flockmasters," he said
TO a reporter for The Herald. THE
range was good the past summer and
sheep are going into the feeding
yards in excellent condition.
"As TO reciprocity with Canada l
agree with what you quoted Mr..
smythe as saying in The Herald
While l don't think reciprocity with
Canada would hurt US as they only
nave about two and half million
sheep, it is the entering wedge for
undermining our whole protective
system"
