FARMERS ARE "sTUNG."
Eastern Washington Growers Hold
Wheat-NOw Price Has Slumped.

DAVENPORT, Sept. 25.-Not in
20 years have Central Washington
wheat growers been confronted with
a situation that prevailed from Mon
day of last week on when the farm
ers could not sell bushel of wheat,
there being no quotations.
Few of the farmers sold their hold
ings when wheat reached top notch
Of $1.02 here. but when 1t reached
81 cents on Monday of last week and
the growers found no market on
Tuesday hundreds Of thousands Of
bushels were eagerly offered for sale
at the previous quotation, but with
no buyers to take the crop.
This condition prevails throughout
the Big Bend country, which has dis
posed of probably 80 per cent of the
crop. In Lincoln county about half
OF the 100000 bushel production is
sold.
