IMPORTANT To FARMERS AND WARE.
MOUsEMgN.


The crop of Oregon wheat of 1877
shipped to Europe was in such oondi-
ton that it only realized prices scarcely
equal to California wheat, and the State
was in serious danger of losing it's rep
utation. Determined to raise the quail
ity and the price of Oregon wheat, this
Board gave notice in the summer of
1873 that shippers would not receive
or place on beard ships at Portland any
wheat which was not clean, pure, mer-
chantablo wheat, Il regulation which
was strictly carried into effect, and
which has been of incaloulablo advan-
tage TO the farmers and producers, be-
cause in consequence thereof Oregon
wheat has advanced from eta. to Z /
cts. per GENITAL more than California
wheat in the European markets, md
thus the State has gained from $780,
900 to $lS0,00o on last years crop
alone, the greater portion of which has
gone into the pockets of our farmers.
This successful result has made ship
pers more unanimous than ever in their
determination henceforth to receive not
only good, clean, merchantable wheat,
but also to require that wheat be shipped
in good, sound, well.sewcd sacks only.
Accordingly shippers have resolved,
|. Not to receive any shriyellol,
smutty, weeviled, damp or musty wheat,
which will be rejected, and if in foul
condition, will be clcapOd mt expense of
sender.
>. That any unsound. torn or badly
stained sacks received ut Portland are
to be replaced with good new sacks at
the sender's expense, including labor
All enterprising farmers and ware
housemen will see that the benefits to
follow from strict adherence to these
rules will be an increased price for their
wheat in the European markets, which
will enable shippers at Portland to offer
farmers u higher market price than for
merly for their whoa. Furthermore,
in these English markets, regulations
have been already passed, declaring
that no wheat will be purchased at full
market price. unless clean, merchant
able wheat, shipped in thoroughly good,
sound sacks, and masters of vessels at
Portland and Astoria will not sign
clean bills Of !ading for wheat shipped
in damaged sacks.
This circular is issued by, aud pursu.
ant to, resolution OF the Board of
Trade Of Portland, Oregon. passed the
lG;h day of April, 1879.
