Wheat

Wheat-The pressure which was so
prominent yesterday was in evidence
only in small way early this morn
ing and active buying developed which
carried prices to the highest price on
the current move. Although the sea-
board failed to confirm any business
worked for export it was believed that
considerable part of the buying of fu-
lures was for export account. Foreign
crop news. with the exception of an
estimate of 919.000.0 600 bushels for
France, which the trade considered
much too high, was decidedly bullish.
The India crop is said to be short S0,-
000.000 bushels of last year, confirm
ing previous statement to the effect
that that country will be an importer
of wheat this year rather than an ex-
porter The Argentine crop outlook is
far from bright and there is good
foundation for the idea that they will
not be an important factor in supply
ing the importing countries of Europe.
The visible supply statement Tuesday
will undoubtedly be a factor in the
market, indications point to de-
crease. In Minneapolis. where the
movement has been largest the in
crease in stocks for the week was fair
quaint ty. This exceptionally strong
statistical situation can in our opinion
reflect in higher prices and we think
the upward movement is close at hand.

This Impression is Brought
Back by Local Man Who At
tended National Ram Sale.
YEARLING BREEDING EWES
CAN SCARCELY BE BOUGHT
Prices of Eight Dollars Per
Head Offered in Vain TO Sc
cure Young Range Ewes.

Conditions in the sheep and wool
business are improving, and the spirit
of breeders is decidedly optimistic.
This is the impression that has been
brought back to Pendleton by Mac
Hoke who attended the national ram
sale which was held the first part of
the week at Salt Lake City.
Yearling breeding ewes can hardly
be bought, the reports from breeders
who were in attendance at the sale
show, and prices of IS a head are be-
ing offered in vain to secure good
young range ewes. The prices on wool
have been edging upward during the
past few weeks. and breeders are stay
ing in the business and planning where
possible to increase their holdings.
One report was made at the auction
Of the sale recently by the Columbia
Basin Wool Warehouse Co. OF 2,OQ0,-
600 pounds Of wool. The coarse stuff
ranged from Is cents upward, and the
top on the fine wool sold was 20
cents.
An indication of the demand for
young breeding ewes is shown in the
deal which was attempted recently by
the Wood Livestock Co. This COM
pany, which is one Nof the largest in
the West, a few days since made an
offer Of SIS the head FOR 1890 yearl-
ing range ewes to j. +. Clinton, a
Boise banker The offer was held
open while Clinton sent out scouts 10
see il he could replace the ewes in
Oregon or Montana at Sc or 81 head.
When his scouts wired him that this
was impossible and that good stuff
could not be bought at all, the offer of
the Wood Livestock Co. was turned
down.
The company, of which Frank
Hagenharth is president has a half
million dollars to invest in breeding
stock, and their plans have been made
to breed 1000 head of ewes this fall
The auction reflected the present
conditions in the sheep business, ac-
cording to Hoke. Prices were not so
high as formerly, but good stuff moved
freely at fair prices. Monarch, FAM
Gus stud ram of the Butterfield COM
pany, topped the sale when the gov
ernment paid $4,000 for him. This is
the best price that has been paid for
one ram since 1918.

{. 0. AUTO CLUB ISSUES
ADVICE TO MOTORISTS
DRIVING TO Ia GRANDE
Road From Top of Hill is Under
Construction; Trip Not I'm
possible; rs Cars Daily.

Many of the large organized labor
delegation which is going TO La
Grande for the big labor celebration
on Monday are planning to make the
"trip by automobile and the Eastern
Oregon Auto Club has issued some
hints aad road information for gufd-
anee.
Distance OF the trip is SO miles one
way. Approximately 81 miles is sur
faced with macadam. the remaining
five miles to NIeacham is fair dirt
road but rutted. From a mile past
Meacham to Hilgard in Union county
the roads are quite rough and rocky
with some high centers and slow iriv-
ing is necess AIRY to save tires. Two
routes are open over the crest of the
mountain. The old detour to the left
before reaching Kamela and the road
up to kamela. There is little choice.
From Hilgard right into the city
limits of La Grande the Old Oregon
Trail is under construction and numer-
Gus small detours forces slow driving
The trip is not impossible as is re-
ported and over rs cars make it daily
For night driving spot light is al
most necessary especially on the new
grade east of this city, where on some
of the curves front lights shine off
into space leaving the road dark. In
another month the Auto Club reports
that guard rail fencing will be placed
on the new curves of the highway.
La Grande has good camp ground
for auto tourists with plenty of water
and shade, and many Pendlcton people
will camp out.
