A COMPLETE ESIkRPRIsE.-Thefe are
few enterprises 10 Seattle. or en- the
Sound, that are as complete in all their
appointments as the boat house of the
Budloug Brothers OF this city. The
main structure il built on a barge 80
feet long BY 80 feet wide, and is two
stories high. The first floor 10 used as
the dock. upon Which are landed the
fleet of 10 row boats, and to which Are
moored the four larger sieops. In all
there are 20 boats, and several new ones
are now being built. including four
new race shells. On the fret floor 10
also situated the office and store roem.
The second floor is divided into sit
ting room, bedrooms for the employees,
and large workshop. The workshop
In complete in its details Here there
are lathss, steam heating apparatus, by
which timbers are bent to desired
shapes, and other appliances. The
aoor is 90 arranged that 1t can be par
tally removed, allo sing a boat to be
lowered to the water beneath when IL IL
completed. The boats are all built out
Of narrow strips instead of planks, and
upon models that are beautiful, and at
the same time conducive to speed and
comfort. The enterprise Was started
by Commodore Badleng in Olympia,
about the year 1871. He moved to Be
attic in 1881. but died during the same
year. His two sons, George and Niles,
have continued the business since then
snder the firm name of BudloDg Bros.
They have been deservedly prosperous.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
REVIEW OF PORTLAND WHOLESALE MARKET

FLOR THE WEEK ENDING, August 10.
There has been but little animation manifested
in any department of the merchandise markets the
past week, and the amount of business done so
far this month shows very marked falling off as
compared with the same time last month. Tray
cling statesmen from all sections complain of ex-
ceedingly dull times, with little disposition shown
among buyers to exceed immediate wants and
keep up assortments. Values generally are ON a
steady basis and as goods are wanted quotations
in most cases have been obtained Flour is dull
but steady and without material change. Sugars
have been firmer,and better prices anticipated
in sympathy with higher figures at other points,
closing here to-day at 6Tsc for granulated and
6asc for Extra G. Hog products are less firm,
Lard showing a decline for the week of about "A C
~ fb and Pork 50c y Dbl The market for limo
thy Seed is firm and higher at 0o92 10; other
kinds unchanged. In Grain prices continue
steady and have not varied materially. Oats are
firmly held; the old stock is light and on account
of:the wet weather the new crop is backward. The
position of the Fish market remains about the
same. There is no falling off in the catch of
Mackerel, but the quality of the fish has improv-
ed; no sales are reported. Some of the old stock
is said to be in very bad condition; the num-
Der of barrels stored here is 10000. Eggs have
been scarce and advanced to 16@17c. Potatoes
are selling at 45@50c p bush. Receipts of Chick
ems and Fowls are good and lower prices prevail
We notice strong and higher market for sheet
and pipe lead. Nails are easier at 2 %. Turpen-
