TWO new FEATURES

Europe Holds off," Come the
Usual Wall From Portland
Dealers In Grain.

Two elements have been sprung
during the week, that will have
tendency to create action in the W heat
market. Black rust and heat, spoiled
the Chicago outlook for even an av-
erags yield 10 the Spring crop telt,
and made the market tend to soar.
Chicago also admits for the first
time thBt all prospect for big crop
Of wheat this year in the Northwest

On the other hand, there ia hipt au-
thoritv for an opinion that notwitb
standing a big loss 10 general from
what had been hoped for, the Spring
wheat harvest would yet equal an av-
eraRe, although some sections would
be hit hard.
Portland buyers coincide with the
Chicago view but whip their old
argument over, 10 the effect that
wheat is not arm in Europe. They
say that local cargo was sold at 36s
Cd, which means that shippers there
could pay rs oents for club aud so
cents for fortyfold, then they relate
that farmers, particularly in the
Umatilia and Walla Walla seotions.
are asking = to 8 cents over these
prices, with the result that business
is still on . limited scale. They de-
plore the fact that red wheat ID also
being held firmly by the growers,
"thouRh there is no foreign demand
for 1t.
A part Of the advance in the East
was due, apparently, to unfavorable
crop reports from Russia which for
several days have been more or less q
factor In the market. A London cor
respondent Of the Northwestern Miller
says:
market tendencies fer the balance
Of the campaign depend. apart from
crop soares, on the actual consumptive
necessities Of Europe and the present

There we're three separate fires. two

the Coyle, Ferris and Loney places.
Monday evening the acreage of
turned wheat lands was estimated as

News of tbe Ennis IRE first reached
Walla Walla Sunday afternoon about
! O'Clock when the dense smoke could
be plainly seen. Scores of automobiles
rushed TO the scene and witnessed the
costly oonflagration, which was an
appalling sight. and Of which many
pictures were taken.
Altogether about 1920 acres we're re-

Sunday afternoon and as an engine
passed the Joe Martin place on the
county road near the state peniten-

cause Of the Ennis FIRE. The fire at
times was mile in width.
Starting from a threshing outfit on
the Samuel Loney place west OF Walla

500 acres Of wheat on the Loney,

Bortbers' places. Most of the Ferris
wheat had already been threshed by
oomtine and was burned lying dis
tributsd about the field in the sack
Hard work stopped this fire in time to
save several other hig fields.
About the same time the Ennis
wheat was burning Sunday the FIRE
above Prescott was reported. This
was supposed to have started from a
straw stack Ere which occurred on
