REVIEW OF PORTLAND WHOLESALE MARKE1
FOR THE WEEK ENDING. Aug. 20.

The condition of the wholesale market is about
the same as noted last week, with but few changes
in quotations The Wheat markets of the eoun-
try, after opening the week past in a very active
and excited manner, with prices tending higher,
have ruled rather unsettled and closed the week
with prices slightly lower than the week previous
The decline was only few cents and was due to
the unloading of several large holders and the
falling of In the foreign buying. The flour market
is very strong although prices have not advanced
to correspond with the enhancement in values of
Wheat. The flour situation is firm, and prices
are not likely to go any lower, as the stocks are
very small and but little coming forward. Based
on the position of Wheat prices Of -four are at
present low, and the trade should cover their
wants as far as possible. Provisions are steady
and in fair demand at unchanged prices. Fresh
mackerel are abundant and prices are lower. In
dry fish pollock are zoe % btl lower; Shore rs and
medium No mackerel are S1@2 p Dbl lower.
Fresh Beef is less firm but prices are unchanged.
We quote as follows: sides 6@9c, kinds 8
9l3c, fores at 4@51ac, rounds and tanks 6@7c,
rnmp loins 16@lsc, rattles at 3@4c backs 5@7c,

and sausage lie. Poultry is lower at 18@2Oc for
chickens and 14@l6c for fowls Sugars are quiet
and steady; granulated is 1sc lower at 9-I6c.
Linseed and boiled oils are &c y gallon higher
Cut and wire nails are 10@25c % cask lower.
The butter market is very firm and the tendency

Stocks and Bonds

At New York money has been easy, ranging
from to 21s per cent, last loan at 2H, closing
at per cent. Prime mercantile paper 51s@61s
per cent. Sterling Exchange is quiet and steady
with actual business for bankers bills at e31h

saga s61a. Commercial bills are 482h
and S41a. Government bonds are dull and
steady. Railroad bonds active and strong.
The stock market continued active, but lost 1 s
strength after IL o'clock and free realizations
with considerable hammering of grangers forced
substantial reaction in prices, which had the
effect of bringing prices of most active stocks
down to a materially lower level. The movement
was OF short duration, however, and toward 2 the
pressure was removed with dullness and partial
recovery as consequence. Later dealings failed
to develop any feature and the market closed dull
and firm, a shade better than first prices in most
Of the LIST.

joker ana TO TINS Gay Mr. CoIuer
doesn't know why Milly should have
fallen upon him, with a second shower
of kisses, on hearing of Mrs. Lessons en-
gagement. For that sly little woman
said to herself: $50 that note wasn't for
Rob at all, and came near making
fool of myself for nothing. But he never
shall know it,"
And then she went down to lunch,
and, womanlike, proceeded to snub
Dugall for being the recipient of her
gracious encouragement the evening be-
fore. But she made pretty little speech
of congratulation to the widow. and
thanked her stars that she had put the
note back into Rob's pocket and held her
tongue until he had had his say

the flash is three miles long, there would be
nearly quarter of a minute between the
nearest part and the more remote, and the
thunder would continue all this time. The
accompanying figure explains It. The part
OF the flash at a. only mile off, will be
heard In less than five seconds; at b, two
miles off, nine seconds will be required to
bring the sound; and at C, three miles away.
thirteen seconds will elapse between the
flash and the thunder. By little practice
In counting the seconds bet xeen the light
ming Of an approaching storm and the thun-
der following the flashes, the distance of
storms may be known with some accuracy.
