1915. Lower quotations and easier
tone to the market is reported at Chi
cago.
Cabbage is easier at $2.5063 per
cwt. while dry onions are flrmer az
s225@250. Carrots are off soc al
50, and celery firmer at 75GS5c pei
dozen punches. Tomatoes, both ripe
and green, are easier, being quoted at
35@50c and 30G50c per box. Green
peppers have advanced to 60@75c and
red peppers are quoted at coca SIPS.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-Now that the food admins
tration has changed the terminal prices
for Portland, Seattle and Tacoma to
$205 for bulk wheat, the usual pre-
MUM for sack wheat will remain eff
fective, and the following prices from
now on will prevail during the season
of 1917-1S, unless otherwise changed:
Bluestem $1.95, club $1.91 and Red
Russian $1.SS. No. &c less. No. 3
&c less. No. and lower, sample grade,
but must sell at least lie under No.
3. Growers have been holding back
to see what would be accomplished
at Washington and this has kept many
from selling. Recently considerable
wheat was sold freely, which enabled
millers to stock up to certain extent,
and from now on an easy market is
predicted. While no doubt many are
dissatisfied with the government rul-
ing, growers ought to feel satisfied, as
&C increase to Coast terminals is
better than nothing, especially when
taken into consideration that the price
fixing committee was dissolved and
the prices made were to be in use un-
til July /, 1918, when the 81 per
bushel guaranteed by the government
is to go into effect.
Flour-As the new government regu-
lations for buying wheat and manufac-
turing and selling -four went into eff
feet on the 10th, trade is as yet in an
unsettled condition, and millers are
trying TO find their bearings before
they will be able to do much new bust
ness. Reports indicate that stocks OF
flour with distributors and consumers
are small, and millers are making
every effort to take care of the de
mand, although hampered by the lack
of wheat Most millers have as much
floor booked as they can take care OF
within 80 days, and therefore are turn
ing down orders, excepting in the mos
urgent cases.
Feed-There has been no price
changes in feed except a reduction Of
SO on fiebl wheat, which makes the
new quotation $40.

Public policy and the best interests
of the nation demand extension of the
principle of home trading. The gov
eminent slogan, Garry your own" is
not complied with when orders for
merchandise increase the burdens of
the postoffice department, and demand
the services of numberless men, be-
sides complicating transportation serv-
ice. OF what profit if the retailer dis
continue or restrict deliveries within
the limited radius of his store that
trade may be directed to agencies that
make deliveries over a territory of
hundreds of thousands of miles dis
tant? Get busy spreading the gospel
of home trading Help your cause and

GRAIN AND MILLING NOTES.

The Farmers elevator has opened at
Moore, Mont, under the management
of N. E. Norman of Clifford.
The Jennison Flour mill of Balm
vile, Mont, will reopen, having been
closed for almost the past year.
The capital stock of the Top Notch
Flour Mills Co. of Colville, Wash, has
been increased from $4,000 to $4,000,
according to certificate amending the
articles of incorporation in this par
ticular filed with the county auditor.
Barley is of good quality but of
course short in the lilo and Vollmer
section, according to the Lewis County
Rochdale Co. of Ito, Idaho, A. E. Hol-
comb, manager. This is good bar
ley section, yields ordinarily running
as high as so to 80 bushels to the acre.
This season 1t is averaging % to 80
bushels. Wheat is averaging about 70
bushels. This company built an ele-
vator at lilo and another at Broker
siding last year, and added farm i'm
plements this season.

upon the return of the summer-outers.
The large returns in agricultural
sections usually following the market
ing of the wheat crops has been some
what retarded this year by the in
clination on the part of the farmers
to hold on to their grain as long as
possible in the hope of getting better
prices. The continued employment of
labor bids fair to take care of an
otherwise perplexing problem for some
time to come.
Provisions.
Butter-The market is ruling very
strong at the recent advance, with
Washington creamery quoting at 47@
48c. While the situation is a strong
one, no further advances are looked
for for some time, but indications fore
cast that eventually there will be an
other advance. Chicago reports a
steady market with trade only mod
crate.
Eggs-Market shows advancing ten
dency, this being especially true of
fresh ranch stocks, and it is predicted
that local ranch eggs will go still
higher. Quotations for the week are
s12@13 to the producers for fresh
ranch and $13@15 wholesale. No. 1
storage are now selling at $13 and this
probably will be the ruling figure for
the season.
Fresh Meats-A slight advance is
noted in both steer and cow beef, with
the former quoted at 11h@15c and
ha 1otf 10IL n1An
lamb also have advanced slightly, be-
ing quoted at 20@21c and 26c. Pork
remains firm at 24h@33c. In live
stocks, hogs are very scarce, receipts
being limited, and this also is true of
sheep, while cattle are rather plentiful
Lard and Cured Meats-Both hams
and some brands of bacon show an ad.
vance of lie over last week, and lard
is up half a cent at &c.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Lemons remain unchanged at $7.5C
@S for fancy and s7@7.50 for choice
while oranges show a slight decline al
s3.50@475.
Blackberries are lower at 50 per
crate, as are also cantaloupes at $3.50
Prunes are firmer at 75c@$1 per box
as are also peaches at 65@75c. Grape
fruit is now offered at So per crate.
Apples are getting plentiful, but
there is not much change in the quo
tations at s1@1.75 per box. At Chi
cago the market showed little change
with receipts moderate but somewhat
larger.
Potatoes have been declined again
this time from $3.50 to s2@2.25
Sweets have also declined from 81 tC

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: "The gain in
business with the advancing season is
not yet generally uniform, and rather
less of it is seen in the east than at
other points. Where none at all APP
pears, or where there is some actual
recession, it is plainly due more to
uncertainty than to lack of confidence
in the future.
The inevitable reatcoin from the
extreme prices reached during the
time of unprecedented demands has
already gone some distance in certain
of the chief materials of industry, and
the readjustments have in some cases
brought with them signs of reviving
activity, though not few buyers still
hold off for further concessions by
sellers.

All persons serving in the army,
navy or marine corps of the United
States, including the new draft army
which is now forming, are automatic
ally exempt from suit for the collec-
ton of debts during the period of
their service, according to a bill which
has been introduced in congress by
Representative Morgan of Oklahoma.
The Commercial Bulletin points out
the Importance of this bill to the gro
Gerry trade. 1t is apparent on its face
that anyone entering the army could
not be forced by law to meet his obli-
cations for groceries or other neces-
stiles as long as he remained in the
service, which would also preclude the
use of garnishment laws. It's impor-
lance is further emphasized in the
case Of wives whose husbands are in
the U. S. service as they could run up
bills without their being collectible in
a legal way.

UNCLE SAM GETS
METHOD TO BOOST
GASOLINE OUTPUT

San Francisco.-The United States
government was offered the free use
of a process, discovered by Frederic
A. Kormann, San Francisco chemist
which, he said, would increase the
output of the country's gasoline by
12-fold. The government has &C
cepted his offer and has authorized
the construction of a factory al
which the process will be utilized
Details of the process were not
divulged, but the process makes use
of crude oil products now wasted sc
far as gasoline productions is con
cerned.

The Grand Forks smelter of the
CRANKY Consolidated Mining, Smelling
& Power Co. produced 917,S12 pounds
of copper in August, according to
New York report. The Anyox plant
produced 2,91S,95S pounds.
The Kusa Spelter Co., owner of a
large smelter in Oklahoma, has bought
the Price & Smith group of six claims
in the Lake creek district of the Wood
river country, according to report
from HALEY, Idaho.
The Caledonia Mining Co. has de-
clared its regular monthly dividend OF
$7S,150, according to advices from the
Office in Kellogg, Idaho. The disburse-
ment will be made October 5. This
payment will be at the regular rate of

An expenditure of 100000 for the
purchase of the Independence mine in
the Wood river country of Idaho and
100000 more for it's development
hinges on the close of negotiations by
the Federal Mining and Smelling Co.
with the owners. An option signed al
Denver recently gives the Federal a
right to take possession on November
Is, says the HALEY Times. In the
meantime, all the ore that can be
broken will be shipped by the owners
The agreement must be ratified by of
ficials of the Federal company and con
Cured in by stockholders of the indie
pendence company. In the event OF
purchase the Federal company will, II
is said, drive a tunnel of 1900 feet
into the Independence, will quadruplt
the milling capacity, treble the track
age, retimber the mine, build much
larger boarding and bunk houses, en-
large an electrical power and light
plant on Trail creek and electrify the
workings and the mill. The estimated
cost of these improvements will be a
least 100000.

Responsibility in Food Conservation.

We must increase our export Of
stances of our shipping situation,
these exports must be of the most
concentrated foods, says the food ad-
ministration. These are wheat, flour,
beef, pork and dairy products.
We have other foods in great album
dance which we can use instead of
these commodities, and we can pre-
vent wastes in a thousand directions.
We must guard the drainage of ex-
ports from the United States, that we
retain a proper supply for our own
country, and we must adopt such
may be, the price conditions of our
less fortunate. We must try to i'm
pose the equally upon all. There is
no royal road TO food conservation.
We can only accomplish this by the
voluntary action of our whole people,
each element in proportion to its
means.

Our producers will not only be work
ing in their own ultimate interest in
laying the foundation of larger herds
and flocks, but will serve our ma
tional interest and the interest OF
humanity for years to come if the
, best strains of young animals are
preserved. This increase in herds
can only be accomplished if we save
more of our ruoghage and raise more
fodder grains.
There is only one immediate solu
ton to. our short supply of meat fol
export pending the increase in oul
herds and flocks, which will take
years. During the coure of the wal
we can, just as with cereals, reduce
the consumption and eliminate the
waste, particularly among those class
es which can best afford it. In the
meantime, in order to protect all o.

our meat exports in order that the
people shall not be denied this prime
necessity of life.
