Progressive whist Party.

A most enjoyable progressive whist
party was given last evening at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. L. E. Grove. A
delicious lunch of several courses fol-
lowed the card playing, with ice cream
and cake for dessert. The score cards
were quite artistic. On the front page
was hand-painted bow of ribbon, the
ends bearing the date, Thursday
April 26th 1894" and on the last page
the branch of a tree on which was
perched two crows. The first prize was
won by Mrs. w. H. Wilson, beautiful
vase of Worcester manufacture, and Mr..
Hobson the second prize, natural-look-
ing rooster, which was the result of con-
siderable mechanical genius, and would
act as natural as life. The party will be
long remembered by those present, who
were as follows: Mr. and Mrs Myers,
Mr. and Mrs Eshelman, Mr. and Mrs
Fish, Mr. and Mrs Bradshaw, Mr. and
Mrs Paterson, Mr. and Mrs Houghton,
Mr. and Mrs Hostetler, Mr.. and Mrs
Brooks, Mr. and Mrs Lord, Mr. and Mrs
w. II. Wilson. Mr. aud Mrs Glenn, Mr.
and Mrs Hobson, Mr. and Mrs Thomp-
son, Mrs Sinnott, Mr. and Mrs Grove.

THE MARKETS.
Business st1I 0uiet--opening of the
Wool Season.

FRIDAY, April 27.-This week just
closing is continuation of the previous
one. A general degree of quietness pre-
walls in all kinds of business in the city.
The wool has commenced to arrive from
the sheep ranches, which is an omen of
activity, not only in trade circles, but in
all kinds of business in the near future.
Produce and provisions are in usual de-
mand, and receipts are fully up to re-
quirements.
The egg market is steady on last
quotations, but falling off in receipts
lis noticed.
The butter market is unchanged.
The poultry market, while there is q
falling off in receipts, former quotations
are adhered to.
The potatoe market is quite lifeless.
The receipts have almost ceased and q
bare market is only question of short
time.
The cereal market is as quiet as
formerly. There are no changes to
record in quotations of feed grain or
wheat.
The condition of the hay market is
of a weak character. Timothy hay is
said to be unstable on account of the
large quantity of other kinds of forage
on hand.
The wool clip has commenced to come
to the warehouses, but the season is
early for the wool movement. The
market has not assumed any spirit of
interest. Some buyers talk of a prob
able quotation of and cents per lb
for extra clean and fine staple, and 4 to
cents for heavy and dirty heeces. We
understand very small amount will be
shipped on consignment this season, but
on the other hand it will be sold at The
Dalles so as to clean up old scores which,
owing to the paralyzed condition of the
country, were carried over on to 1894.
Wool bags are in moderate supply at
40 cents for 4-pound bags.
The live stock market is very weak
and has declining tendency.

The Wasco warehouse got in nice

( Mr.. G.sH. Riddell of Smile states
that the rainfall of the last two days
was very heavy in his neighborhood.
The river raised at Umatilla IA feet in
twenty four hours. At Waliula the
river is rising and at Walla Walla the
river is rising. This means a two-foot
rise at The Dalles tomorrow.
& Col. Thompson received dispatch
this morning from Adjutant General R.
w. Mitchell, Portland, to not, under
any circumstances, call out sthe militia
without orders from, headquarters.
The Ferris wheel is to find perman-
