CHICAGO ORAM AND PROVISIONS

Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAOO, Aug. t.A. disposition on the
part of crop experts to trim down sen
sational estimates regarding black rust
damage had a bearish effect today on the
market for wheat. Closing prlcea were
c to K&0 lower than laat night. In
corn the outcome was Ho to lo decline
and for oats a loss of Wo to He. Hog
products varied from Be off to 70 up.
. . . .
.w"" IxrZ1' , Ti
much notice, the black rust injury to
wheat in North Dakota will not exceed
15 Der cent. Agalnat the bulls were re
ports from India, telling of general rains
and there were dispatches bringing word
of excellent weather for the growing crops
in Australia and the Argentine. From the
outset, breaks In prices formed the rule.
Appetite for wheat thrown overboard on
atop loss Instructions caused a reaction,
as did rumors of fresh discoveries of black
rust In Manitoba. Besides news from
Russia exhibited no Improvement, Odessa
cables predicting that shipments would be
60 per cent smaller than last year, but not
a great deal of the setback experienced
could be overcome. During the day, Sep
tember ranged from 91c to 93c, closing
firm, but He net lower at 92924c.
Corn suffered from week-end realizing.
There waa, however, no heavy selling, such
as noted in the wheat pit. The September
option, which Increased Its premium over
December, fluctuated between etVilffctHc
and 63SiC, with the close easy at 64,c, a
net loss of He. Cash grades were only
in moderate demand. No. 2 yellow, finished
at 64,,U64c.
Prices for oata had to contend with an
estimate placing thellllnola crop at 13,000,000
bushels in excess of )sst year. Outside
limits touched by the September delivery
were 42Sc and i2c. The closing figures
at 42Vic, showed a fall of hio from last
nlghu
The provisions msrket with a weak un
dertone closed about steady.
The leading futures ranees as follows:

CATTLE-Recelpta of cattle today were
limited to about three care, which, as a
matter of course, was not sufficient to
make a market. For the week receipts foot
up 24,766 head, being the largest since the
first week in December, when 27,537 head
were received. Still receipts this week have
hotbeeri large for this season of the year,
as 27,277 head were received in the corre
sponding week a year ago.
In spite of the liberal receipts the mar
ket this week on beef steers has been very
satisfactory from start to finish. There
has been an actie buying demand every
day and prices have steadily firmed up
until at the close of the week it u uf tn
quote both cornfeds and grassers as 1525o
uniicr man una weea ago. A reature of the
trade has been the free hiivln nn ihn no ...
of packers of common thin cattle that other
j-iHu-B wouio. go to ieeoer buyers.
While the demand for cows and heifers
has been very good this week and sup
plies have been kept well cleaned up the
fact that receipts were larger and that
prloes at the beginning of the week were
unreasonably high as compared to other
selling points caused a downward move
ment In values until at the close of the
week the market Is 15ti!26c lower than one
week ago. Another cause for weaknesa In
'" or cows and heifers was to
be found in the fact noted ahnv that n.nb.
er"ar.t.buy,ns a ood many of tDe common
m.-M ii. in Biecn, wnicn, as a mater of
course, are cheap beef producers and hence
take the place of oow stuff. The large
supply of cheap beef would naturallv
weaken the market on cows and heifers.
The better kinds of feeding cattle have
been in fair demand and good, fleshy kinds
held up remarkably well, so that prices
are not far from steady wtlh a week ago
On the other hand there has been a sur
tUrt commo UBht and medium weight
" lutner oruer ana prices have

HOGS Another advance. Just about equal
to yesterday's high rise, was forced by hog
salesmen, but the trade differed from yes

SHEEP Only three cars of sheep were
reported in today and they were consigned
though being held over hers only for feed
and water, so that there was really nothing
on sale. For the week recelpta foot up
61.606 head, being the largest of any wek
since the third week In November.
A feature of the week's receipts has been
the large run of heavy wethers, as fully
half of the recslpts consisted of that kind.
As a result of tola excessive run of one
kind prices broke badly and at the close
of the week are around 60c lower. Handy
ewes and yearlings are closing 4iqj60c lower
than last week.

and altnr&aUgr strong and woak, but ths

are 25fewc lower than last week. The best
lambs sold up as high as $t An, with the
ordinary kind!" rel!ln at $6ctft6 25.
Demand for feeders was fully active s"
prices ruled suau to possibly a little
stronger during the week. Close to 20.m
head were shipped out. Thin sheep made
up the bulk of these shipments. Good feeder
wethers sold as high as $3.25 with year
ling touching $400 and lambs from $6.00
down.

Montrose County
Has Many Records
Western Slope of Colorado Will Ship
More Fruit Than Any Section
in Country.
MONTROSE. Colo.. Aug. 4-(Speclal
"The western slope of Colorsdo will ship
to the outside world more products than
many entire states will ship, and Mont
rose county will lead them all," says F.
W. Monell. "The great Gunnison tunnel,
driven by the United States government,
was completed a year ago and part of ths
water has been available. The result has
been to 'treble our output. While not so
large in tbo fruit line SS some counties,
Montroso will make a good showing. The
Aahenfelter orchard will ahlp 15,000 boxes
of peaches, 7,800 crates of prunes, several
cars of apricots and 95.000 boxes of apples.
Fraser & Hill on ninety acres will have 9,000
boxes of apples, our fruit will make about
300 cars, probably .'. 0 cars of which will
be shipped. From potato buyers on the
ground we learn the potato crop la figured
at 630.000 sacks or 2,100 cars, which wilt
bring us over $100,000. Onions will run into
the thousands of sacks and so will cab
base. Cattle will be around 400 cars and
lambs about 600 enrs. Sugar beets never
were better. This is an ideal country for
them. The yield will average twenty-one
tons to the aero. Three new beet dumps
are being erected along the Denver & Rio
Grande railway to handle this crop, which
will take over 600 cars to move. The farm
ers are paid on the sliding scale, accord
ing to saccharine matter contained in the
beets.

at Nyssa.
St. Paul capitalists are furnishing money
to pump water from the Snake river at a
point Just above Nyssa to the lands above
ths Owyhee ditch and extending down the
river to cover 10.000 acres or more back of
Nyssa and Ontario. Another project that
will irrigate about 4.0H0 acres lying Just
above the mouth of the Owyhee river an1
along the new section of the Short Line
Is financed by Chicago people.
Farm crops were never better. Oats will
yield from sixty to 100 bushels pef sere,
wheat from thirty to sixty bushels per
acre, barley about sixty-five bushels per
acre. The first cutting of alfalfa and
clover Is In the stack and the second rut
ting has Just commenced. Many fields
here are devoted to alfalfa seed and the
prospects are for a yield of from eight to
twelve bushels per sere.
Annual rainfall here does not exceed
eight Inches; therefore "dry farming" pays
only when much of this moisture comes
In the spring. As It happened this year,
the dry farmer is exceedingly happy.
Beet Sugar Industry
Booms at Billings
Acreage This Year is Greatest on
Record, and Hills Will Bun
Four Months.
BILLINGS, Mont., Aug. 4, (Special.)
Reports received from every section of the
district where sugar beets are being cul
tivated are to tbe effect that the crop Is
In the best possible condition and that the
largest harvest In the history of the In
dustry In Montana Is promised.
Not only will the yield per acre be en
tirely satisfactory to the growers, but ths
aggregate will be such that the big mill
will be kept running to capacity day and
night for four months or more the long
est season since it began operations in
October, 1906.
The fact that the mill will be able to
operate through a four months' campaign
Is because the acreage cultivated to beets
this year is also the greatest 6n record,
and, according to those In position to
make such statement, fully 18,000 acres are
being grown In the Yellowstone, the Clark
Fork and adjacent valleys and the Big
Horn country of Wyoming.
An idea of the manner in whtoh the In
dustry has expanded can be gained when
It Is remembered that not to exceed 6.000
acres furnished the beets which went Into
the maw of the factory during its initial
campaign.
According to those who have been keep
ing posted on farming conditions, some of
the best beets produced are those coming
from the Huntley project, and. realizing
that their lands seemed peculiarly adapted
to ths crop, the settlers have acted ac
cordingly, with ths result that hundreds
of acres of beets are growing there today,
the area being mors than twice that of
last season.
league. That th Des Moines team will
have a chanc to show what It Is made of
and what a nw management can do for
It, Is shown by th faot that th team will
b home practically tb rest of th base
ball season.

Prize Barley Grown !
in Gallatin County
Pabst Cup for Brewing; Barley Was
Won by the Manhattan
Company.
noZEMAN. Mont.. Aug. 4.-Spclal.)
The best barley In the Tnlted Wales Is
grown In the Gallatin vaHsy and tbe Man
hattan company has proof of the fact in
the large, costly and beautiful Pabst cup,
which their exhibit of barley won "for the
best brewing barley grown In America."
Reports of 192 fields of Irrigated grain
covering 14.000 acres have bew collected
and show an average yield or 58.1 bushels
per acre and an average value of 338.28 per
acre for the crop. The average crop ylsltls
were: Oats, 76.4 bushels; barley, I8.T bush
els; wheat, 44.2 bushels, and potatoes, 1.4
bushels.
So much for Irrigated land. For forty
years the farmers of Gallatin county have
been growing crops without Irrigation and
did not know that they were doing any
thing remarkable or founding a new sci
ence, that of dry land farming. The acre
age In cultivation above the ditches has
Increased every year until now It Is
larger than the area under irrigation.
Reports of seventy-six fields of grain
embracing 7.490 of non-Irrigated acres show
an average yield of forty-two bushels and
an average value per acre of crop of 3SS.33.
In addition to the staple crops Gallatin val
ley farmers realise large sums from 6lry
products, poultry, .gga, berries, fruits and
live stock.
This favored valley Is one of unequalled
natural beauty. Robert Ingersoll called It
"a dimple on the face ot nature." It has
pure water, pure air and a delightful and
healthy climate. New settlers are pouring
Into the vacant public lands and In a
year or two a cry of distress may go up
from soma of ths new towns like that
which was wired from Belgrade, a center
of the grain region of Gallatin county, via:
"Hurry up those automobiles; I can't meat
the demand from farmers."
