Over W. R. Stuart & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, July 5.-Liverpool devel-
 oped surprising strength, the market ad- yancing 60 American points on new crops nical strength and the absence of rain in the west probably caused the ad- vance.
 The president of the Liverpool ex- change cabled that at general meet ing of the association members unani-
 mously passed the following resolution: That it be rule of the association that no member or his firm shall trade either directly or indirectly with present enemies of Great Britain for period of 10 years after the conclusion of peace. The government records since Tuesday show that the rainfall in Texas on that day was entirely in the nature Of local she wers and confined to the eastern part of the state. The general situation has not changed at all in Texas and there was no rain there over the honday Our market opened 10 to 15 higher and soon gained 25 points on buying based ol good war news over the holiday, absence of rain in Texas and uneasiness
 over technical conditions, particularly
 the large discount of cents for new
 crops under present spot prices. So far
 there has not been an absolutely de-
 cisive change in the crop situation and
 the market is in a waiting attitude for
 developments, but crop prospects III the
 west have certainly declined, and unless
 there should be a change in the weather
 west for the better soon, there Will pc
 a growing bullish inducement to trading
 Meanwhile bearish sentiment seems 10
 predominate and selling waves come pc riodically on the market on the set ideas
 of large crop and difficult distribution vel inc outlook in every direction IS Tor
 an improved shipping situation next sea
 son, and in the face of this outlook, the
 statistics for this reason pointing to
 total export of 425o,o 900 bales are bullish

Cotton went to sharp advances during yesterday s session, Ocstober selling dp to 24.50c. winch was 93 points gain, and put quotations back to the levels prevail ing before publication of the bullish re- port. The market was comparatively quiet during the early afternoon, with prices sagClng of several points under realizing by early buyers, or scattered selling from local~and southern sources. Liverpool wac strong, and houses with foreign connections were large buyers or early new months Talk of weeyil dam age is beginning to come in
 Oats tock the lead from corn in the Chicago gram pit on account of strength in the Winnipeg market. This trend or affairs forced corn up 5sd11zc net higher. Corn was slow to move at first, but oats soon caused all corn offered to be taken.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

buying order from Liverpool at the open ing advanced the market some 50 points, and as no rainfall was reported from
 Texas. though the temperatures were moderate, gave strength to the local po- sition. It is understood that this and other smaller buying orders from Liver pool duHng the day were due to the call ing of cotton by English spinners. The feeling among the local traders is that we are entering period when the crop will begin to deteriorate and, therefore, the short side of the market must be avoided. They point to the absence vf sellers whenever demand appears.

HEARS FROM SON N

Mrs. Emma Ranck, of Heppner
Gets Letters From Pvt.
Vim. c. Gosney.

Writing from somewhere in
France, VIM. c. Gosney, son OF
Mrs, Emma Ranck of this city.
states that he is we'll and enjoying
the life in the service. His first
letter is under date of June 23, 1918,
and at that time he was located
near the town of Castets, France,
winch Is some so miles from the
Spanish border. 1t was raining
there at that time almost constantly,
and he is sure he never saw such
weather as they were having in his
life. Castets is small village and
the country around there is very
pretty, and regardless of the weather
he likes it there very fine. He was
working every day, helping to build
a road for the trucks to haul logs
over.
The second letter was from the
same place and dated June 20, 1918.
IL this he says:
My Dear Mother:
| will try and answer your
most kind and welcome letter.
received both of your letters at the
same time. | was sure glad to hear
from you and to know that you are
well.
This is Saturday and we have Just
gone through with inspection and
muster for our next pay day. The
weather has been pretty hot the last
couple of days but most of the
time it has been fine to work. | and
another Of the boys have been work
ing on the logging road. We are
not with our company now but are
on detached service, working in a
logging camp about four miles from
tie company
What part of Heppner was
burned?
Well mother we are getting along
fire so don't worry about us. l can
tell you the news better when l see
you than l can write it.
The French people have great
methods of harvesting their crops.
They use small sickle for cutting
the grain which they bind with
ropes made from the straw and then
carry to the barn on their backs or
in wheelbarrows.
A third letter, dated Somewhere
in France, July 7, 1918, gives an
account of their Fourth of July as
follows
We had quite celebration here
the Fourth, and tho it was nothing
like we were in the States 1t was
good. We paraded through the
village where we were camped.
The houses were all draped with the
flags of France and Uncle Sam. After
this we returned to camp and had
races and base ball game and IN
the evening we were entertained
with a minstrel show gotten up and
given by members of our battalion,
1t was good and we enjoyed our
selves very we'll considering we were
50 far away from everything.
1t is very hot here and getting
hotter and we are working very hard
every day.

A NEW PLAN THAT
PROV|DER FOR TINE
SALES OF TRACTORS

ern Farmer, Portland, Oregon-Spo.
kane, WaShington)
A problem that confronts the
farmer of the Pacific Northwest to-
day is help. The help that the ship
yards have left on our farms is, in
the main, expensive and inefficient.
IS a result of this condition, many
progressive farmers have been wisely
turning their attention toward trac-
tors, trucks and other forms of
power driven machinery which do
away with the more expensive power
Of horses and save the feed and labor
they entail How to finance the
purchase by the farmer of thesa
tractors and other forms of power
machinery has been problem that
1t cnly concerns the farmers, but
his implement dealer as well.
Power driven machinery in most
cases is expensive and as business
proposition many farmers want two
.ull seasons to pay their tractor bills
While most banks are not usually
willing to have their money out for
.Lat long time
There has recently come to my
attention a plan for financing the
farmer that seems to me most prac-
tical and has been successful in
.Eose districts where it has been
tried. This is the plan of the
Western Farm Credit Co., which has
recently opened Offices in Portland.
The plan, which has much merit in
it works like this: The purchaser
selects the tractor he wishes to buy
end pays the dealer certain amount
down on the purchase price, giving
is note for the balance. The COM
1any which furnishes the dealer with
j simple business-like contract or
cJrm for this use and when the sale
has been competed and the sales
contract properly filed out and
signed the company takes over the
farmers obligation, giving the dealer
the necessary cash. This enables the
farmer to secure the needed machin-
cry at once, so that he can start 1t to
work and make 1t earn dividends
for him, so that when the time
comes to finish paying for the ma
chinery bought on these easy terms
he is in position to make his pay
ments promptly.
This plan is a great help to the
dealer because 1t permits him to
increase the volume of his business
by financing sales He might not
otherwise be able to make because
of the burden Of these long time
credits.
Bankers should favor this prop
csition because it means the in
creasing of crop production aud
means the opening up to them of an
opportunity to loan their money for
a shorter time for many other lines
Of farm activities. They should
welcome the advent of this plan in
their sections.
We have repeatedly pointed out
that power driven machinery is sup
planting much of the power FUR
rtshed by horses on the farm and 1t
is doing this on a basis profitable to
the farmer. Especially at this time
when our country is in such grea
need Ct increased production is thi'
,lan of time sales worthy Of carefu
consideration on the part OF al
farmers in the Pacific N0rthWes
who can make use Of it in purchas
ing farm tractors or other poWe'
farming machinery.
