could be done in their Judgment, for their interest
They offer the settlement they have made to the con-

Oregon City o. T., March is, iss7.
The foregoing communication denies some state
ments which we had occasion TO make In "a
article on Oregon affairs last Winter. Our au.
thority for the facts that are here controvert-
ed, was highly respectable resident of tho Ter
ritory from whom we had them in person. Az
bis family and home were in Oregon, and as hs pur-
posed an immediate return thither TO remain, he
would seem to have no object ~ undervalas or
misrepreseut Oregon affairs or prospects Our IN
formsnt further stated, by way Of sustaining bis
general judgment, that the Delegate from Ore
gon Gen. Lane) informed him taat he was or
had been anxious to sell his place and stock On tAs
Umpqus, where he resided, but complained that
he could find no purchasers, even at the lowest
named rates for stock.
We suspect that large part of the discrepancy
between our informant and our correspondent re-
sults from the fact that money is scarce article In
Oregon, and that the want Of an abundant eircu-
ting MI dium destroys all regularity Of price, and
in case Of forced sales or inactivity Of the market
makes it to great extent depend for the time
being on the immediate necessities Of the se''er'
In this way both the highest and lowest prices may
by different persons be taken to be the true "e''"'
of the market.
