PORTLAND, June 10, 1898.
The Flour situation has improved somewhat
in tone, and the opinion seems to prevail that
bottom prices have been touched; this is due to
the frmer position of Wheat, and the Increased
export. The present export dema nd is said to
be the best 1n,years, with more Wheat already
to go abroad. Flour is firmer without quotable
change in values. Corn is about steady with Oats
irmer. Eggs are easier, some sales to-day at
tic with others at le1ae. In Boston eastern
and northern were quoted 16 agile. Old Po-
tatoes are weak and lower, top figures at L 10 /:

Sunday Sermons.

On Sunday morning, at'the Methodist
church, the presiding elder, Rev. E. II.
MeGehee, who was here to hold his
quarterly conference, preached one of his
foneible sermons, in which his illustra-
tions going to.show the blending of hui
mainly with the Gedhead, in the person
of Jesus Christ, made "a deep impress
ST IN upon all minds for good and put to
flight all skeptical theories in regard to
the divinity Of Jesus Christ as revealed
in Gods Holy Book.
DR.. Patterson, at the Baptist church,
at the same hour, spreached, as usuUl,
one of his effective sermons that never
fail to draw all hearts and minds TO him.
The gifted speaker showed that a
growth in grace and the spirit OF God
beautifully filling the heart sand mind
would build up the disciple of Christ in
working for his LORD and Master, and to
be fruitful we must work in the vineyard

Mr.. j. r. Mercer, president of the First
State Bank, is one of a number of Daw-
sons enterprising citizens who will
raise fruit on an extensive scale.
Mr. Mercer has started his enterprise
in systematic and business like man
ner, aud if energy and perseverance
amount to anything he is bound to sue
coed. That there is a bonanza in this
business, properly conducted, no one
dou BITS.
Just within the southeastern limits of
the city, on land purchased from the
Dawson Investment Company, Mr.. Mer-

growing business.
He has already planted out 1900
young fruit trees, consisting principally
| of the best varie lies of peach trees, as
wen as plums, apples and pears.
Besides these, he will have quite a large
vineyard.
In few years he will have perhaps
the prettiest as we'll as one of the most
extensive orchards in this section of the
state.
He expects to devote every moment of
his spare time to the business he has
just undertaken, and those who know
him predict success for him in the vent
ure.
There is good money to be made Their
in, and THE News would be glad to see
| many of our farmers quit six cents cot
ton and go into this business with the
determination to succeed.
Besides growing fruits, Mr.. Mercer is
preparing to devote some of his time to
/ the raising of poultry. His yards will
/ be stocked with several of the finest
/ breeds known.
The latest improved poultry houses
| will be erected, and in this, as well as in
all other things, Mr.. Mercer will have
all the improvements cad conveniences
necessary for successfully operating the
project.
