A Business Danger.

The following extract from the Bo ston
Herald indicates the danger, to which we
have recently called attention, Of losing our
ocean steamship lines unless we take such
action toward affording them facilities for the
transaction of their business as will induce
them to remain. Their demand is for suit
able terminal accommodations for the trans
fer of freight between railways and ships, land
it is of large importance to Portland that
such conveniences be afforded. The Herald
report is as follows:
During the past week quite party of gen.
tlemen representing the Grand Trunk Railway
have been in Boston inspecting the terminal
facilities of the different lines of railroads CEN
tering in Boston, with view to considering
the advantages of the Club" as a winter port
for the traffic of the Dominion. Mr.. Richard
Potter, General Manager of the road, says that
with the abolition of the broad gauge system
the Grand Trunk Railway can ship directly
from Chicago to this port and thence to Europe.
Mr.. Potter thought that with several good
lines of steamers, making Boston their port,
the commercial prosperity of the city would be
established on a firm basis They had found
that some anxiety exists in reference to their
purposes and the interest in the matter seemed
to be very general With regard to the Sarato-
ga conference, Mr.. Potter said that the Grand
Trunk Railway was not represented in that
body, although it was of course more or less in
terested in its doings. Very possibly, in case
Boston was made the winter port, some such
arrangement as that given out at Saratoga
might be entered into. The party express
themselves as well pleased with their Boston
visit

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Review OF Portland Markets.


WEEK ENDING October 81, 1874.
The changes in the markets this week have been
slight. Trade is progressing quietly with no indca-
lions of any marked increase in any department.
The fall trade is rather light, and much of it is con-
Quoted on a cash basis. The money market is quiet,
though there is little more demand for loanabe
funds. Gold closed Wednesday, Oct. 81, at 11Os.
Apples have advanced, and are quoted at So 5O@
25. Beans are in fair demand, especially for me-
diums. Butter is less active, owing, no doubt, to
the recent advance which has checked consumption;
the finest grades still command 42c. Cheese is firm
er, and the market indicates further advance.
Coal continues active and sales large in antci-
patton of winter. Coffee is quiet but strong for all
grades. Copper is fairly active. Cordage is quiet.
Drugs and dyes show but little movement except in
opium, which is still tending up. Dry goods have
shown satisfactory jobbing business during the
week. Duck is in good demand tor Portland manu-
factures Fish have come in rather more freely but
the close of the season has tendency to stifen
prices. Flour is steady in the best qualities, with
rather doing in the low grades. Grain has
been rather quiet since last: corn is quoted at
81 0S, meal at 81 02@1 0, oats at 6S@70c. Iron is
fiat. Lard has stifened up. and tierces are now
quoted at 1910; pals at tic. Lead is steadily i'm
proving. though transactions are very limited.
Leather is in active demand, but with no marked
change in prices. Lime is steady. Lumber is dull
and unsatisfactory, with limited demand. Molasses
is firm and prices are well sustained though there is
little doing. Nails firm at 81. Naval stores ex-
hibit no change except in in turpentine, which has
advanced to 45@5Oc. Oils show little animation; lin
seed has dropped again, and porgie is shade rmer.
