PORTLAND WHEAT MARKET.
PORTLAND, Aug. 20'-There is
little change in the wheat market.
About twenty car loads Of wheat
have come in on the narrow gauge,
and few are coming in over the
Union Pacific. Wheat charters are
now about fifty shillings, or about
sl2.2j per ton. There is a limit
above which they are not likely to
rise. Freight from Eastern Oregon
here Is S. IS, which, added to $l225
makes freight from Eastern Oregon
to Liverpool SIS per ton. Wheat
can be shipped by steamer from
New Orleans to Liverpool for IS per
ton, which leaves $13 to pay freight
from Eastern Oregon to New
Orleans. Further rise in charters
will tend to send Eastern Oregon
wheat to New Orleans for shipment.
RATE WAR.
CINCINNATI, Aug 20 A big rate
war has been inaugurated here to
New York, caused by the Baltimore
& Ohio making an excursion rate OF
SIS so TO Atlantic City, which is less
than the rate one way. The Erie
notified the Baltimore & Ohio sew
eral days ago that If it did not with
lraw the rate Immediately, rate of
one fare would be made to New
York. The Baltimore & Ohio de
clined to withdraw the rate, and
the Erie announced One-fare
round.trip rate to New York, effect
i've August IS. The "Big Four"
Chesapeake Il Ohio, and Penusyl-
vania, met the rate today. The
action Of the Baltimore q Ohio, it il
alleged, is a direct violation of the
trunk line agreement. The denor.
alization Of rates will probably ex.
tend to other points. The Western
lines. it is reported, have demanded
differential rates,
