REVIEW OF PORTLAND WHOLESALE MARKET
FOR THE WEEK ENDING April 10.

FOR The WEEK ENDING April 10.
There is no improvement to note in the general
merchandise market, and the dull tone noticed
last week continues. For Flour trading is very
quiet and values have weakened, all grades show
ing drop of from 10 to 25c barrel. Refined
Sugar Is very strong and prices have advanced
to Sssc for graduated and 7Bc for Extra G.
The recent circular of Messrs Willett, Hamlen
& Co., says: Receipts to refners during the
week were large, say $4,000 tons, one-half of
which came TO the nontrust refners, who appear
TO have been heavy buyers abroad before the re-
cent advance. With the large requirements of the
United States for the coming months, to be en-
tirely provided for by purchases in producing
countries, 1t is evident that the position is re-
marsably strong in the direction of higher prices
AMI that a squeeze can only be guarded against
by free buying as fast as Sugars are offered for
sale by producing countries" Stock of raw Sugar
at the four ports at latest dates was 81 o69 tons,
against 1921 tons in 1888 and 9o,s82 In 1887
Molasses is very scarce and firm at full prices
The stock of Molasses In the four ports was
1893 hogsheads, compared with 1926 hogsheads
in 1888 and 2520 hogsheads 1887. Pork and
Lard duh and unchanged here; at the West hog
produe are weak and lower; Eastern packers
have not changed their figures. Coffee quiet and
steady. Brazil Coffee in stock and afioat:-

IIIsCELLANEOUs,
Indigestion

is not only distressing complaint OF
1 itself, but, by causing the blood Ia
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent Of innumerahla
maladies. That Ayers SarsapariIIa
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, OF Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and Indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. Ali
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested al
all Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability TO digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life."

Four Vessels Arrived at New York Sum
dav But None Had Seen the Danmark.
NEW YORK, April 4.-None of the
vessels which arrived in port Sunday
brought any news of the fate of the
passengers of the abandoned steamer
Dannark. The Amsterdam from Rot
terdam and La Champagne from Havre
both reported heavy weather. The
Amsterdam passed the spot where the
City of Chester had the day before
sighted the Danmark but nothing was
then visible. The Amsterdam brings
81 cabin and 43s steerage passengers.
La Champagne brings 81 cabin and S9a
steerage passengers. The steamer Servia
and the Polaria from Hamberg, arrived
Off Quarantine during the evening.
Neither brings any news of the Dan
mark. though they followed about the
same course that the Danmark took.
They experienced reasonably good
weather. The agents of the Thingvalla
line hope that the Helvetia or Servia
which are expected to arrive to-day,
will bring the Danmark's passengers. 1t
is also possible that some ship has picked
up the Danmark's people, and made for
the Azores, $50 miles from the locality
where the Danmark is supposed to have
become disabled. There is no tel,-

The st. Paul Railway Company Ordered
to Run Cars Within Three Days or For
felt Its Charter.
ST. PAUL, April 17.-The st. Paul City
Railway company was peremptorily sat
upon by the city council last night.
Alderman Pratt introduced a resolution
that in consideration of the failure of
the company to furnish proper transpor-
tation the city authorities be authorized
and directed, unless the lines are
fully operated within three days, to
commence and prosecute proceedings
looking to the forfeiture of the compa-
ny's charter and franchises. The
resolution was passed by vote
of i2 to 4. Another resolution instructs
the city engineer to cause all West side
tracks to be removed from the streets
within ten days. These lines have never
been accepted by the city.
In the afternoon the state assembly
passed a bill to repeal the special act of
the legislature of 1888, which ratiiies and
confirms the ordinance of Feb. =, 1889,
in relation to the st. Paul City Railway
company. This ordinance is the one
which gives exclusive franchise for street
railway purposes to the City Railway
company.
There We're no cars run during the day
nor was any attempt made to do so. To
all inquiries as to when an effort would
be made to run the cars Superintendent
Scott replied that he did not know.
