How Much is Your City Debtq

The state debt of Oregon is S511,
376, the entire debt of ali the cities
in the state is but S9S,774, or less
than one-fifth of the state debt. This
Is a showing that only one state,
Arkansas, can beat, and most of the
states show a city Indebtedness OF
nearly two thirds-more than the state
debt, while some are much larger.
This fact speaks well Of municipal
governments in Oregon and shows
that in most OF our cities economy
rules. East Portland has the smallest
city debt IN the state.-E. p. Vindi.

Might Have Been Worse

The American bark C. u. Bryant,
929, Of Searsport, Me-, Butman
master, arrived in yesterday from
Hongkong, under peculiar circum-
stances. Last Tuesday afternoon the
captain supposed he was twenty miles
from the mouth of the Columbia, but
the dense fog prevented him from
taking exact reckoning, and at twenty
minutes to three his vessel struck on
the middle sands, about two miles to
the north AMI west of Clatsop spit.
His situation was perilous in the ex-
treme, the pumps were sounded and
it was found the ship was making
water fast. As good luck would have
it, the pilot schooner j. C.. Cousins,
which had been in the ofing had
started in, and about half-past four
while beating in, suddenly came across
the bark. Pilot Olsen was put on
board, and the schooner came IN,
casting anchor in the stream opposite
the city. All Tuesday night the men
worked the pumps, and yesterday
morning wind sprin2ing up from the
west, the bark was brought in, and
anchored of De,lin's cannery with
four feet of water in her hold. She
was put aground on the mud fats as
soon as possible, and tbs pumps
gained on the water 20 an extent
sufficient to justify the hope that a
part of the general cargo with which
she is loaded will be saved.

The Columbia.

About four o'clock last Tuesday af-
ternoon the steamship COlMmbia COL
lided with the British ship AberIemno,
in the Columbia near Martins Island.
The Aberlemno had taken on part of
her cargo and was on her way down
to finish at this place. She lay to
on account of the dense fog, and was
lying head up stream. The Columbia
was running under slow bell, feel
ing her way along cautiously when
suddenly right ahead lOomed the
AberlemRo. The Columbia was imme-
diately set hard back and her helm
shifted, but she struck the Aberlsn,,lo
with such force that the anchor which
was hanging on the port side of the
vessel struck huke ia each ship as
the vessels came together, tearing a
long jagged hole in each of them
The bowsprit of the AberIemno struck
the fore mast of the Columbia and
carried it up aloft, the rigging finally
falling with crash on the deck. The
Columbia arrived down at eleven
yesterday morning, AMI a force of
men from the Astoria Iron Works was
Immediately put to work. The Job
was done quickly and neatly and by
half past two yesterday afternoon she
was ready to go to sea. At three
o'clock amid the cheers of the crowd
she sailed for the bar, and crossed out
at FIVE minutes past four.
The AbsrIemno will be towed back
to Portland where all injuries will be
repaired

Now that the postmaster general
has issued an order directing prompt
and more careful handling of the
newspapers passing through the mails,
the public will find less opportunity to
write abusive letters to publishers,
who have heretofore had to answer,
not only for their own sins but had
likewise to suffer for the carelessness
of the post-office department. s
employees, not only in this city but in

FUTURES.

ANOTHER slight decline in futures oc.
Cured in New York to-day, ranging from
to points. In Liverpool, a decline of l-6i
is chronicled. The outlook for an advance,
at any time during the season, is not
bright.
Chicago Produce and Provisions-There
was good advance in grain futures in Chi
cago to-day. There seems 10 be great
struggle between the bulls and bears in that
city, and, when either get an advantage,
they operate freely. The Tribune, of that
city, OF the 18th says the dipping of May
wheat below 81, 10 and Of May corn below
Coo was the signal for tremendous volume
OF trading. There were orders here both to
buy and sell very many millions of bushels
at those figures, If they should be touched.
Many buyers fixed that as limit some
weeks ago, and numerous holders had d..
cided that it would not be safe to risk
losses If those points should ever
be passed. The result was volume of
trading which as had no parallel this cal.
endar year. March wheat closed to-day at
$l;O5s, an advance of II cents, and foF May
II brought $l,l0s, rise of I. March corn
declined cent, bringing 52l, and for May
1t went Off z and closed at 57!, The re-
ceipts were q 497 bushels of wheat, 20i, 29l
of corn, 1868 of oats. The shipments
were l,769 bushels of wheat, 65,0l of corn,
and 1888 OF oats. Mess pork advanced 10
cents for both March and May, the former
month closing at $lS05, and for the latter
SlS.27l.

still regarded with disfavor. An increase
is noted in the imports of cotton into Bonn
bay in lSSl-S2 over those of previous years.
The average annual imports for the last live
years were l,A0OOO bales, of which
the average quantity exported was 9l4, eco

consumed by local mills was 30 900 bales.
The imports for lSSl-S2, on the other hand

In lSS2 there were forty-nine factories in
the Presidency, with l ,937 $50 spindles and
1906 looms, employing $1,000 persons, and
the consumption was $4,000 bales There
are reports OF the increasing prevalence Of
the adulteration of cotton by the admixture
OF sand, podseed, etc, with good cotton
and of inferior with superior staples. In
consequence, it is said, many persons, COM
