REVIEW OF PORTLAND WHOLESALE MARKET

Trade in provisions and breadstuffs has been
generally quiet since the opening of the month
and does not compare fayorably with the good
business Of the past month. Trade in seasonable
goods remains rather dull. Special kilograms to
Bradstreets from all parts of the country, report
fair volume OF business, but smaller than 1t was
two or three weeks ago. The condition of the
Wheat markets has been an unsettled one during
the past week. Early in the week there was an
easier tendency and prices touched a low point
but closed with a stronger tone and the decline
reached only a fraction of a cent. The demand
for Wheat, both foreign and domestic, has contn-
ued good. Corn is steady and Ic lower; car and
bag lots of oats are lie higher and sacked bran has
advanced 81 per ton. Flour is quiet but firmly
held; the demand has not been very active and
the transactions are generally small. The market
for provisions is quiet and quotations are easy;
back pork Is 26c lower, and tub, fierce and pure
leaf lard has declined Ac. Sage cheese is 1c

lyn. The villain, SiJdS Cd1TiltgtOrd, is foiled
In the effort to I'M ure Sparkle, little street
waif, who stands between him and a fortune
Act second takes place on Uncle Gideon'S
farm, where the little girl has been taken,
the occasion being the fortieth anniversary
of Uncle Gideon and his wife, and gives
opportunities for some irresistibly droll
comedy, while never for a moment is the
humor allowed to Subside during this act
Act three brings the scene back to New York
City again. Here the villain is outwitted by
Sparkle in a number of the most ingeniously
oontrived scenes and complications. 1t is in
this act that the great sensation, the
living statue clock, is introduced. Act
four is the elimination Of the great interest
of this piece. Here is presented one of the
most effective scenes, the interior of the
Hayes Truckhouse, New York City, a verita-
Bile fire station down to the minutest par
ticulars. Through the deep rascality of the
villain, a plot has been arranged to set fire
to his own warehouses on the East river, and
on the last stroke OF midnight the alarm is
to be rung in. The deep-toned gong peals
out the midnight alarm and then follows a
great piece of stage mechanism. A ponder
Gus engine, vomiting out flame and smoke,
preceded by two magnificent horses, is
whirleG across the stage. After it, rumbling
and Gathering, comes the HAYES truck, fol-
lowed in turn by hose carts, etc. The
effect of this climax is said to be electrical.
The fifth and last act all ends happily, vii
lainy is punished, heroism rewarded, and
while containing the dramatic aftermath of
the preceding act, it is rich in comedy.
