MUCH WHEAT IS
STILL UNSOLD

With the market practically at a
standstill, probably 35 per cent of the
1911 wheat crop of Umatilla county
is still in the hands of the growers, ac-
cording to estimates of several repre-
sentatives of grain companies in the
city. The estimates as to the approx
mate amount of wheat already sold
varied, one buyer placing it at 90 pei
cent, but the majority fixed it between
60 and 65 per cent.
The market this year has showed
no great fluctuation, the price how
ering about the 20 cent mark for clut
from the opening 1t has never riser
above 73 cents and there has hardly
been day when the grower coult
not obtain 50 cents which price is be
