The Markets.
BuRKnART Bios,

The advent Of so largo number OF Iowa
editors into Albany did not affect our local
markets, aud even real estate remained
stationary. The expectation of tremen
dous rise in the price of beer was not realiz-
el. and chickens and potatoes are quoted the
same as last week. Wheat seems to be drop
ping, being in the rs notch in Portland and
about 6S here, II is hard to rely on Portland
quotat ions though. For instance wool is
quoted there at II to lac, while here the
figures have heen l3 to l5c. which we are
unable to appreciate. New peaches are sold
for l0c per pound, lemons retail at SOC per
dozen and oranges % to SOC. Beats and
turnips are sold IN punches. Red aud black
raspAerries are in uaeir ''mashing" glory,
three boxes for quarter. CAbbages appear
with moderate sized heads and immense
leaves, aud peas are plenty at 4 cents per
pound. The price of the DEMocRAT is s.. so
aud money. wood or produce will be taken
In payment.

Fora few days this week Albany has put

General whea. Prospects.

From the report of the agricultural de-
partment Of the u. s., just out, it Is learn.
ed that the general average condition of
0z for winter wheat Is the worst official
showing since 1868, IN 1881 1t was "A and
and rs in 1883, while in the great crop
years Of 1880 and 1882 it was 90 in June.
From close study of the returns it is GER
ain that large portion of the reduction
in area is discounted In the returns OF the
condition, yet in few states q further al
lowance must be made for the unanticipat-
ed destruction OF area by replanting.
Future conditions or misconceptions OF
present appearances, or both together, are
net likely to change the total wheat crops
of tho country more than 10, 900 900 bushels
above or below the estimate given Of $780,
100000 bushels; still disasters prior to
harvest, or wet weather afterwards, might
possible make greater reduction, Suf-
ficient to this day, however, is the evil
| thereof"

''Pecks Had BOY.

The boy was indeed bad one, particular
ly as he was SO admirably represented last
Wednesday evening at Crawford's Hall, by
Mr. Williams, but as bad as he was he did
not begin TO approach the management of the
company, which was not only bad, but very
bad. A troup is very unfortunate in having
to play under such an inferior, slipshod
management. "Peck's Bad Boy" as pre-
sented by the Atkinson Comedy Company
is side splitting, laughable variety busi-
ness, just simply full of fun. genuine dys-
pepsia curer. The grocery man, BAD Boy,
Jim Duffy, pa, ma, HIS girl and the police
man gave the good sized audience some ex-
cellent comedy, which one having been .
reader of Peck's writings appreciates to =
certain extent.
The play, though, is not dollar one, and
the people of the valley do not like being
taxed that price for what was givenin PORT
land for half the fee.

and a spent bail p,,.lns through window

but tell to the walk doing no injury. 1t was

Last Monday John II Mitchell passed
through Albany on his way 10 Portland,
which he purposes to make his future

surprise, who was travelling unOstenta-

in the same car with him from Eugene was
not aware that he was on the train. Nom

shooting In Canada.

About two weeks ago Canada was the
scene of very exciting affair which great
ly disturbed the social pot, and AZ we'll
was the means OF uEelecsly burning con-
siderable powder. AS narrated to a DEMO
Graf man, young man about nineteen
years CT age, Of uncertain reputation, was
suspected OF being too intimate with n
neighbors wife. The husband laid q trap
for him and claims to have caught them
in fiagrante delicto. The next day he
presented shot gun at the ym's head and
demanded satisfaction for which he said
$50, q watch and COW would do. The m
denied the accusations; but, after an In
formal trial, without any officers, agreed
to pay $3.50, q watch and COW, and all
the parties agreed to leave the country.
Instead or doing so, though, on the fol-
lowing day the V m and his brother at .
tackled the husband with revolvers; bat he
"stood them orr with his shot gun, no
one being hurt, although four shots hit
one Of theboys, and on anothsroccasion the
husband is said 10 have been the aggres-
sive party. How the matter will termipate
cannot be tsld now.
