PORTLAND. ore. Aug 31.--In con-
junction with the similar movement
evident In all the other markets Of
the country, the Portland graintrade
came back TO more normal channels
the latter part Of the week. The cli-
max OF the trading occurred Wednes-
day when an extreme advance of
s Ia cents in the price of blue stem
was forced. The trade was the most
exciting Portland grain markets have
ever known. On the same day oats
advanced $3.50 a ton and barley took
an upward squirt of so to IS cents per
ton. Bran at the same time wentsup
25 cents and shorts so cents.
While the high prices continue to
obtain, the market settled down and
yesterday weakness war apparent in
all lines but blue stem. Eastern mar.
kets were normal again Saturday. In
terror producers are holding on to the
grain with great firmness and at
Walla walla some ranchers anticipat-
ed a price Of $3.50 per bushel inside

SEATTLE, Wash. Aug. 2s.-By
slashing estimates in nearly every de-
partment, the city council has been
able to reduce the city tax levy one
mill lower this year than last.
Based on the present valuation of
s215.362,151. the levy for next year
will average 1898 mills: based on a
valuation Of s21s.5O0,OOO, which in
oludes the estimated increase for this
year. the levy will be 1883 mills.
The rate for the old city limits will
be slightly above these figures. while
in the newer limits there will be a
proportionate reduction from this
rate.
The 1914 levy in the old city limits
is 1886 mills with a proportionately
lower rate for the newer limits OF
the city.
