TnE CAusE.-Re Referring to tie cause oi
the rise In the price of wheat, prominent
grain shipper OF Portland said that the San
Francisco rise was due Immediately To ad.
vices from Liverpool TO the effect that Eu.
ropean crops would be very much injured
this year by unusually heavy rains through.
out the continent. Heavy rains at this
time of year In the grain districts of Europe
invariably cause a raise In the wheat mar.
ket of England. Indian crops are about
the same as usual, but the Chinese market
will require more grain than last year
The rise Is thought 10 be permanent, a. the
Liverpool market continues TO stiffen and
show signs of much further increase In
prices. To-day the price In Albany Il IS
cents. The y. r. price last evening was 90
cents, with lower tendency.
