REVIEW OF PORTLAND WHOLESALE MARKET

rOh InE WIEN ENDlN6s aug. 10.
We note this week decided Improvement of
trade and freer movement of breadstuffs and
provisions. Bradstreets advices point to a con-
tinuance of the late improvement iu general
trade in the western and northwestern cities; in
the South only moderate movement Of staples
is reported; in Boston, New York, Philadelphia
aud Baltimore there is growing feeling of conf
dence In an active autumn business. The feature
OF the week has been the extraordinary advance
in Wheat, due to the large export demand. The
advance has been over l5c % bush and the mar
ket continues strong and excited The Flour
market is very firm and all grades are 6O@75c
higher than last week. The demand is increasing
and stocks are light; millers have advanced
prices 50c@s1 % Dbl. Corn is unsettled and So
4c higher In fresh fish mackerel are in light
supply at i0c ~ ID; cod and paddock are very
scarce at Sc; sword fish plentiful at Ice; halibut
lac. Fresh Beef continues active and strong
with prices frmer for rumps and loins, and little
lower for fore quarters; the quality is rather
poor. We quote as follows: sides 6@9c, kinds o
@13c, fores at 4@6zc, rounds and TANKS 697c.
rump lons 16@lSc, rattles at 3@4c, backs 6@7c,

with a tendency toward Hc advance within few
days Sugars are steady and quiet with good
demand; graduated is 1sc higher, soft grades are
unchanged. Cheese is firm and held A@1c

Notes.

Remember, you who import animals
from Europe, that all sheep and hogs
are subject to fifteen days quarantine
at the port of entry if they come from
any country not in North or South
America.
Remember that young turkeys cannot
endure a rainstorm till they are 3
months old. Until then they must be
looked after and penned up carefully on
the approach of every wet spell. One
rain shower has sometimes destroyed ff-
teen to twenty dollars worth Of young
turkeys for single owner.
If your poultry is penned up give il
abundance of green food. Refuse scraps
from the table are excellent, particular
ly bits of onion and lettuce.
There is such thing as a species of
stingless bees, but they are no good for
this country, and not much good for any
country. Every rose must have its thorn
and every sweet its sting.
Is this superstition or not? A gentle
man in South Dakota writes that In an
experience of several years he has found
that if wire is laid fat upon the ground
under fence hog will never 60 over
that wire to get through the fence.
If you yard your sheep at night inside
of a high picket paling the dogs cannot
get at them. AT the same time 1t is well
to have bells on several of the sheep.
These will ring furiously and give you
warning when the dogs are about.

Best Brood Sows.

"a correspondent of The National
Stockman and Farmer says: While the
farmer can hardly have better piece Of
property than first class brood sow, he
cannot own poorer one than worth
less sow. When sow keeps In high
flesh and suckles large litter of pigs it
will be to the breeders especial interest
to give extra care to the litter, for it il
almost certain that the SOW is not feed
ing them well; that she is laying on fat
rather than making milk We well re-
member having at one time three sows,
sisters, one of which always looked well
and kept ia fine flesh, while the others
became very low in flesh while sucking
their pigs. The fine looking sow was a
poor mother, and of low value as com
pared with the others. Every such sow
should be taken out of the herd and none
of her pigs retained for breeders. There
is no excuse for retaining in the herd an
inferior animal when the best quality is
en- INV nricad
