Telegraphic Letter From the Metropolis.

PORTLAND, Sept. THE steamer
I. j. Potter will make her last trip
to Astoria for this season on Tues
day the 10th inst.
Reports from the big Oregon ex-
hibit now travelling in the eastern
states pronounce it to be the finest
in the country. The exhibit is now at
Buffalo, New York.
Over 100000 brick have been or.
dered for Seattle. All the yards in
the city are running full blast and
are unable to supply the demand.
This afternoon Savannah /. Bran
don was divorced by judge Stearns
, from Richard Brandon.
William Basquell, the young Eng
lish sailor apprentice who sued the
British ship city Of Carlisle for
$4,000 in the United States district
court, and who secured a judgement
for 81, $50, will soon leave overland
for New York, where he will take a
steamer for London where his parents
reside. The boy was badly hurt.
Though he was once a very bright
little fellow, since the accident by
which his skull was broken he acts
like baby.
There is very little wheat coming
into the city at present. Some full
carloads have arrived over the South
ern Pacific from the valley but the
farmers are pretty generally able to
hold and are waiting till prices get
better. At present offers are very low
and the prospect is that before very
long they will be much better. The
large feet of vessels now enroute to
the Columbia will have to be sup
piled with cargoes and if the supply
keeps so close as their charters near
the date of expiration the commission
men will be forced to secure wheat
even at an advance.
The Portland Touring mills are not
running at full blast, as heretofore,
on account of their inability to Sc
cure wheat at prevailing prices.
There is lots of wheat in the country:
in fact the past season has been one
of the most auspicious the state has
ever known. Whatever wheat Is mov-
ing now, which is very little, indeed,
is not under sale, but for storage.
The last steamer from San Fran
cisco brought, as a portion of her car
go, large quantity of slot rail for
the Portland Gable Railway company.
This is the rail, the lack of which has
so long retarded the building of the
road.

CHINESE TOURISTS.
New YORK, Sept. THE arrival
yesterday in the Chinese quarter of
this city of four Cinnamon clearly
demonstrates the evil effects of the
ruling of encouragement Miller and

Chinese so-called tourists. These four
are fresh from China via San Fran
cisco, and they stated that they each
paid $3.50 to enter this country.
