Adylces FROM Portland.


PORTLAND, June 10th.-It is still cool and
showery.
The local wheat market is very dull. Ten
small lots of wheat sold at 81 32aI. If the
weather continues favorable for the grain
crops, the yield of wheat in Willamette val.
ley this season will be larger than ever before.
The acreage is about the same as last year,
and the yield will be much better. The
rains of the past two weeks were just what
was wanted. Practical farmers think there
is no danger from rust. The hay crop will be
enormous, and prices will be low next year.
There is nothing new to report about the
salmon canneries on the Columbia. The
catch during the past week has averaged
about sixteen to the boat. Not more than
half the boats on the river are in service.
The wool market is quite active, and trans
actions during the past week were large.
Wool from eastern Oregon and Washington
is coming forward faster than last year. and
the indications are that the season will be
sooner over than the former. Valley woods
are being marketed at the various shipping
points. AS yet few lots have reached this
market. Sales of eastern Oregon for the past
week would probably aggregate 800, 600
pounds at from 1Sc to 23ac; valley at 20
@25c.
