Oregonian: 1t costs one dollar
per 1000 feet more TO send lumber
cargoes from the Columbia river to
California ports than fIom Puget
Sound 10 the sama ports, although
the advantage of distance Is with the
former. A vessel of average size and
far sailer can make eight round
trips ia a year between Columbia
river mills and San Franci- co, and
only seven round trips between Pu-
get Sound mills, but notwithstanding
this advantage, the lumber rate Is
higher here, as stated, than at the
Sound. The increased rate is exact
ed to compensate the ship for the
heavier charges which she must meet
here.
The president has approved end
f,rC mulgated a revision of the civil
service rules which makes several
very important changes in the system
OF appointments upon tests of fitness
applied to the applicants for places
IN the departments at " Washington
and in the classified customs Offices
and postoffices. The commission has
also revised the civil service regula-
tons to conform to the new rules.
These revisions have been under
consideration by the commission dur
Ing the greater part of the year, and
both have received careful consider
alton by President Cleveland. He
read them at length several times
and made changes and notifications.

The Fair Com mittee held a business
meeting last evening at their headquar.
tiers, and after discussing the wheat
question, a report of which we brought
last week, took up the subject of an art
gallery.
enthusiastically the subject was ia
vored, and the secretary of the Brown
Co. Agl. So. took it upon himself to
give the matter his entire attention and
to promise the next fair in the decora-
ton OF the art-room a perfect gem. He
will at once commence to solicit paint
inggs in oil and wafer colors, engrayings,
and other first class topics interesting
to lovers of art, and will tomorrow
make arrangements with Mr.. Gag, the
artist, to supervise the decoration and
appointment Of the art-hall. We may
therefore look forward to this treat in
connection with the next fair with pleas
and hopes, and feel assured of witness
ing a better and more beautiful display
of works of art than ever before exhi-
bited on any county or district fair.

Complaint is made by anglers, who
want to practice the sport lawfully, that
certain parties, not content with having
filled their nets and seines during the

chance for fish to come up the river and
allow of lawful capture.
We would draw the attention of these

Chicago Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO. Feb 16-There was considera-
ble activity on Change during the morn
Ing. AT the opening, prices for leading
grains We're unchanged from last night,
but the trading was limited, as it was first
closely watched there being much uncer
fainty what sort of action would follow
yesterdays sharp declines. Before there
was any decided action in the grain
markets the bears began a raid on the pro-
vision pit Their efforts were mainly
directed against mess pork. which had
been let alone for day Or two. By pre-
concerted selling and sensational offer
ings below the market, the price broke SOC
in short order The decline in
May was from Sl430@l4.sO OF course a
reaction followed. The break induced
large packers and bears, who have been
short fer several months, to begin cover
ing Large lines were rapidly absorbed
and the decline was stopped and prices
started upward and before long had re-
acted to s!4.40. Trading decreased some
what after midday. The feeling became
nervous, values receded to 5l3.911s, but
closed at $l4, break of 2715c from the
opening figures and 3215c from last nights
close. Short ribs were active and declined
103f2i5c, but reacted 219@5c and closed
steady. Offerings by scattering holders
were large, but buyers absorbed them
quite readily. May opened at s7.41Js, sold
to S7.35, reacted and closed at 40 Lard
was slow, but held up stubbornly. May
sold at 81 @7.75 and closed at the latter
figure.
Corn was an interesting market. On
early weakness in pork. the crowd pounded
it and succeeded in getting themselves
very short. May which opened at 5OLc,
sold down to SOC, but about the time that
pork turned upward there was some buy
ing orders in the corn pit which caused
second furry The bulge was started by
two or three local houses, bidding sc over
the market. which started the crowd and
there was scramble to buy and to cover
In few minutes the price of May jumped
from soc to 50l5c and before noon sold at
50$4c and finally closed at 5o2sc.
There was nothing in the advices to
warrant any better prices for wheat this

ed &c. The crowd was ready for reaction
but it was delayed by the raid in the pro
vision pit. The price was sustained at Soc
for May by some persistent buying, it
opened at S0l 4tdS0lEc better than the close
last night. When the reaction came in
pork, there was sensational buying in corn
the wheat crowd took advantage of it and
prices advanced sc, touching So$sc about
noon. The closing hour of the session was
more quiet and May hung around s01s@

carried the day against great odds. All the
