MIR. Julius A. Schmahl,
Secretary Of State.
Dear Sirs Referring to proposed Con-
stitutiOnal Amendment No. 4 would say,
As state expert printer I have given the
publications involved I'm this proposed
amendment special thought, and am of
opinion both these publications are enc
tirely superfluOus. The extensive an
nuai publication Sin a daily newspapers
published at the capital city" attracts
absolutely no attention. The annual re-
port OF the state treasurer II published
I'm book form, and to an extent that
makes it easy for every person special
ly concerned to secure . copy. To con-
form strictly with the law II Il az
present, means the expenditure, under
reasonably favorable printing contracts,
of approximately $1,000, a sum which
can be used TO excellent advantage un-
der conditions which ordinarily suggest
the greatest care and economy upon the
part of those under whose direction the
printing fund Ii expended.
Yours respectfully,
J. II. MANNIX,
State Expert Printer.

The Markets


The wheat market is quiet and there
are very few offerings for the new
crop. Prospects Of an extra big yield
are making buyers wary, and there Is
a tendency to hold off and avoid con-
tracts until something definite is
known of the worlds crop. There are
SO many chances Of the estimates being
knocked out by weather or other pos
sible happenings that growers are
eharry about selling, and the undoubt'
edly extra fine prospects for a phe-
nomenal crop, on the other hand, make
dealers cautious. Prices are steadily
shading off, however, and this indi-
Gates that the opinion is general that
the crop will be large one.
Both wheat and barley are weaker
and the demand light. The strawberry
market was unsatisfactory, and the
supply was of poor quality. The rains
followed by hot weather sealded much
of the crop that was nearly ripe and
the greener berries have not yet ms
tured to raise the quality.
There is little doing in hops, but Il
cents is being freely offered for new
crop, and many contracts are reported
at figures from that to Is cents. The
California crop is now estimated az
$4,000 to 100000 bales and that of
Oregon at 135,OOO, with Washington
10000. The poultry market is well SUP
piled with hens selling at 161A and
broilers at 25 to 26 cents Eggs are
, unchanged.
