REVIEW OF PORTLAND WHOLESALE MARKET

FOR THE WEEK ENDING APRIL IL.
Breadsluffs and Provisions have been very firm
with an improved demand. The Flour market is
particularly strong and all grades are advancing
10 sympathy with Wheat. The Department of
Agriculture report shows That there is shortage
of 100000 to 100000 bushels in the winter
wheat crop as compared with las year, and the
effect of these estimates has been not only to ad-
vance prices but to place the market in position
of strength which it has not held for a long time
past. The stocks Of wheat were reduced in New
York last week 356, 900 bushels in store and 5000
afioat leaving 2,64s.o0o bushels against 4,500:
600 bushels year ago; and the stock Of corn
was reduced $4,000 bushels to 136, 900. Southern
fours are held in New York zoe higher than they
were week ago. Pork is firm and 20 TO Doc "
Dbl better and Lard 1sc y ib higher. Corn shows
a sharp advance; a rise will also be noted in oats.
Sugar market steady and frmer; stock in the our
ports at latest dates was 1oo.411 tons against 81
Sss tons in 1887, and 80, eo4 tons in 1886. Mo
lasses steadily held Ewith Barbados &c higher;
other kinds without quotable change; sto of
molasses hand in the four ports at latest dates
was 6423 hogsheads against 1901 hogsheads in
1887, and 6175 hcgsheads in 1886. Coffee quiet

A Dog Guards His Dead Master.
From The Mem York iS,l


SALEM, MASS, Oct. 1.-The police had a saw
age fight this afternoon with dog that stood
guard over his dead masters body, and would
not yield until fourteen bullets had been lodged
in its body. Then the faithful animal fell dead
beside the remains which he had guarded so
well. The man. John Gynan. had committed
suicide by hanging He was a welto-do bach
elor who lived alone at South Salem Point
His only companion was huge Newfoundland
dog. When Gynan's body was discovered
the dog was lying beneath, and the shoes
showed where the dumb companion had
tried to revive his master. While the police
men were cutting the dead man down, the dog
stood by with his eyes riveted on his masters
face, but the moment they tried to remove the
body he became ferocious. He bit both men
until they were glad to beat retreat Then
he careSsed the dead mans face, whining pit
eousy the while. The police tried to coax him
away, but he showed his teeth every time they
approached, aud his savage growl warned them
to keep their distance. The blockade continued
for over an hour. Then one policeman fired two
shots at the faithful brute. Then the dog
plunged down the stairs to the door and again
blocked the way, swapping at all who APP
preached. He became so rabid that. 1t became
absolutely necessary to kill him. Fourteen bull
lets were fired at close range before he fell dead
Then the dead body of the master was carried
over the inanmate form Of the pet dog.
