Market Report.

FRIDAY, Aug 24th.-There is a quiet,
steady tone to business in nearly all de-
partments of the merchandise trade,
with conditions not materially changed.
The feeling is that the settlement of the
tariff will help conditions somewhat by
ending the uncertainty that has pre-
vailed so long, and thus inducing more
activity in general business.
The market for dry goods is steady,
and fair business is done.
In groceries there is fair movement
with steady prices.
There is a sluggish tone to the green
and dried fruit market, with downward
tendency.
Produce in general is in large supply
and prices nominal. Potatoes are
quoted at roc per 1OOlbs.
Hay quotations vary according to the
disposition of buyers. TIE market
ranges from 81 so to IS per ton for baled
wheat hay; timothy SO to $l2 per ton
baled.
The poultry market is exceedingly
dull and prices, range nominally from
PA'IO W P% pei NOLC4.
The market for eggs is not attractive
as the demand is limited on account of
the warm weather, and 10 to IL cents
per dozen is the range paid in trade.
There is complaint made that the
market is nearly bare of gilt edge butter,
and it Is firm with tendency to ad-
vance.
The cereal market at home and abroad
is Internationally quiet and dull. The
Prairie Farmer claims that the crop for
1894 will be 500, 100000 bushels in the
United States 1t is estimated that the
worlds visible supply ia. 400, 900
bushels against 178. .074 900 for the same
date the previous year. In Europe and
Asia the crop reports show a much
better average than last year, with the
exception of Roumania and Bulgaria,
whose averages have fallen off some.
what. In the Argentine country the re-
ports received of their harvest, which is
over and on the market, the crop is the
largest ever gathered and the quality
is first class. After careful
study of the breadstuf question the
Clapp company speak of it as specu
lation and bullisn in sentiment. East
ern millers are buying wheat without
stint, while there is no Immediate en-
couragement for any favorable advance
there is slight bullish tendency. Our
own local market is much depressed and
buyers are offering only 80 to 80 cents
per bushel.
The wool market has nearly exhausted
its stock on storage, and what few lots
that are disposed of realize to the seller
81 to 10 cents per ID. according TO grade,
weight and condition of fleece

from his horse by its falling. He was
not hurt in the fall but as the horse re-
gained it's feet it kicked, striking hin on
the leg and breaking both bones close TO
the ankle. Knowing he could get no
help, he bandaged his leg and then after
two hours limping around succeeded in
catching his horse, and then rode FIVE
hours before he reached aid which he

Yesterday was another scorcher but
about sundown fresh breeze swept up
from the Columbia, bringing with it
considerable sand and dust, but it was
none the less welcome. 1t has remained
with us most of the day, and we hope

His Black s1lk Pants.

A celestial who is engaged in ironing
the soiled garments of his white
brethren, came into our Office this
morning, for the purpose of investing
two-bits of his hard earned money in
second hand papers. To what base
uses our exchanges may be put by en-
closing the varied and numerous family
washings is of course no business of ours,
though we wish to say right now that
though we get a quarter of a cent apiece
for them, that the money return is but a
triie compared TO the value we receive
before they leave us. But this is all a
depression; what we wanted to say was
that this celestial had on pair of black
pants made of silk and gorgeous beyond
description They were cut full, with

theside. Hewas awfully proud ofthem,
and at our request turned himself around
so that we could admire the beauty of
the combination. They were long
wasted in the back, and as the top
only came to the usual height the lower
end of the waist reached nearly to his
knees, giving them an appearance of
empty fullness that was simply killing.
They were cut over a pattern used by his
grandmother's aunt when cloth was
cheap, but the Chinaman was inside of
them and happy.

accompanied by Mrs. Hagar who is also
a ber of the Army. Every body is
invited to attend the meetings.
The usual quantity of wool, about
sixty tons, were taken down by the
Regulator this morning. One would
think that the ware houses would soon
be emptied, but so far what has gone
can hardly be missed. Just why all our
wool should find its way east by starting
west is mystery. We understand some
of it goes to Galveston, Texas, and thence
by steamer to Boston.
Some thirty members OF the fire COM
panies are pledged to attend the tourna-
ment at Oregon City, and will leave here
either Saturday or Sunday, Sept 1st OF
End. The meeting promises to be a
fine one, with teams from all parts of
the state, and we are glad to know that
our city is to be represented. 1t would
have been much to our discredit had we
not been represented, for Oregon City
sent a fine team here.
The air was filled yesterday with the
winged thistle seeds seeking place to
locate and settle down to business.
Some mild eyed poet described the dan
delion's delicate bolls as the "ghosts of
the summer fowers;" a description that
would apply nicely to the thistle's down.
Indeed it would fit the latter much
better, for besides the poetical side OF
the description it is quite true that the
thistle ghosts, haunt the farmer.
Justice Davis has been annoyed for
two or three weeks by lady who seems
determined to have the steward of the
Regulator arrested for breach of promise,
or words to that effect. the offense being
committed on the serial plan, and ex-
tending over period of three years.
The justice very properly refused to
entertain the com plant, as the lady re-
sides in the city OF Portland, and there
the promises were made and alas
broken.
Some of the sidewalks are in fearful
condition, owing to the nails being left
sticking up in the air for an inch or two.
If it is impossible to compel property
owners to have the nails driven down,
the council should by ordinance provide
for having the sidewalks lifted up to a
level with the top of the nails. Prop
erty owners may not be aware of the
fact that should someone injure a foot,
or receive other injuries by reason OF
these nails, that a pretty bill of dam
ages could be collected from them.
If somebody would have fight or do
something it matters not what he would
win our everlasting gratitude. The
item market is bare, the demand ex-
ceeding the supply by 100 per cent.
There are no drunks, no fights, no we'd
dings, no births, no deaths, no coming
home from the coast, no tidal wave, nc
earthquake, no anything except nothing.
We don't like to be compelled to apollo
gize for dearth of local news, but we
can't afford to hire someone to stir ur
trouble, and we have not time to do i,
ourselves.

VARIOUS ACCIDENTS,
A Little Boy Seriously Injured-An Excit-
ing Runaway

Little Boy Seriously Iniured-An Excit-
ing Runaway.
James McGec, little boy between
SIX and seven years of age, met with
an accident this morning, from which
it is almost impossible to recover
The little fellow was sitting on the
tressel work supporting the 90"
tracks across the log-way leading to
the Rock Island Lumber company's
b mill, and was intent on watching
the logs ascend. He did not observe
the 90" switch engine backing up
with several cars in tow, and it is
supposed that the oil box on one of
the trucks struck him in the head,
precipitating him into the log-way
below. He was carried into the
| waterworks and the ambulance
called to take him to st. Anthonv's
hospital. Drs. Holowbu.h, Trues-
dale, Comegys and Barth were sum-
moned, and an investigation of his
injuries was made. 1t was found
that he had sustained very severe
fracture of the skull about two-and-
one-half inches long and one-and-one
half inches wide, wound, recovery
from which is exceedingly doubtful.
The physicians removed as far
rs possible all the particles of the
skull from the brain, and the little
fellow was, at last reports, resting as
easy as could be expected.
An Exciting Runaway.
Albert +. Ritter, clerk in l.. c.
Pfoh's grocery on the corner of Four
teenth street and Third avenue. had
an experience yesterday which he
will not soon forget. About two
weeks ago Mr.. Pfoh purchased a
horse which seemed possessed OF n
disposition to run away occasionally.
Yesterday afternoon MIR. Ritter took
ont the horse to deliyer some grocer
les. He waited in front of the store
with him, and while MIR. Pfoh was
engaged in putting some articles in
the wagon MIR. Ritter stood at the
horses head. just at this iuncture
the chase-away desire filled that
horses head, and he proceeded to
carry it into execution. Mr.. Ritter
in the meantime was stricken with
the idea that he wouldn't let him get
away, and forthwith grabbed him by
the bride, but the horse turned the
corner and dashed up Fourteenth
street, and Mr.. Ritter hung to him
until the corner of Fifth avenue was
reached, when he relaxed his hold
upon the equine and was thrown be-
meath the cart. one of the wheels of
which passed over his head,
cutting a cash two inches long in his
scalp and necessitatinS the placing
of seven stitches in it, The horse
was stopped at Sears, and returned
to its owner.
Mr.. Ritter deserves credit for
attempting to hold the horse, and
the horse deserves to be driven to a
dray or truck for about twelve hours
a day.
Car IS of the bridge line. collided
with lime wagon on Second and
Ripley streets in Davenport, this
morning, the teamster being thrown
from the wagon and somewhat in
lured about the head, but not seri-
ously. The car was damaged to a
trifling extent, but was quickly re-
paired.

CHANGING PlANISTS.
An Incidental Performance That Prove
Interesting.

An Incidental Performance That Proved
Interesting.
LAS interesting as anything I've seen
in this town." said a visitor to the city,
''was a change of pianists that saw in
q variety theater. There was man on
the stage singing song, and the pianist
was playing the accompaniment. l hap
pened to see the pianist glancing to the
left once, and 1 looked in that direction
myself and saw coming down the aisle Il
man that judged must be the relief pi
Rnist, and so he was. l imagined that
he would sit down for a moment and
wait, but, dear me, was very slow.
''He was approaching tie piano at the
bass end of the keyboard. When he had
almost reached the corner of the piano,
the man who was playing began gently
sliding off the seat TO the right, still
playing BY this time the relief was
abreast of the bass keys. and these the
first player, who was still sliding stead
lily TO the right, now relinquished to him.
and then the newcomer, still standing,
but also moving steadily to the right.
struck in in perfect time and tune.
There was a brief time, a second or
two, when both men were playing-the
retiring pianist the treble ana the on
coming player the bass-and for a frac-
ton of n second they were both stand
ing. But now the new player Is fairly
opposite the center of the keyboard. He
settles into the seat, and now it is his
hand that strikes the treble, and now the
whole piano resouuds to his resolute
touch.
''In fact, there never was a minute
when the piano had anything to say
about it. There never was a minute
when the men were not completely mas
tiers of the situation. There never was
an instant from the time the relief ap-
preached until he was firmly settled in
his seat when both men were not con
Gnuously in motion, but the change was
made without q jar or slur in the mu-
sic and without the omission of a note. :"
