point of the joke was that the owners of

THE MARKETS.

FRIDAY, Aug. 31.-Business for the
week has improved perceptibly. with
disposition of buyers to enlarge their
orders. Prices of merchandise have not
changed materially in any one line, un-
less it be in sugar. Since the passage
of the tariff bill, which went into effect
on its passage, the sugar market has be-
come stronger, with decided tendancy
to advance quotations.
The provision market is active on
steady quotations. Country produce Is
in abundance, and the market is weak
in the face of large reserves. Potatoes
are sold at 80 cents to rs cents per 100
pounds, the range of prices being gov
erned by size and quality.
In fruit the market is quite over
stocked, and large shipments to other
points are daily occurrence. Peaches
are quoted at 35 to 45 cents per box.
Apples, pears and plums are in fair re-
quest at range of prices, varying from
% to 40 cents per box.
Poultry is freely offered, and broilers
bring $1.25 cents per dozen, old fowls
being quoted at 50 to 1925 per dozen.
The meat market is down to free
trade basis, and live stock are quoted in
this market as follows: Beef steers.
$1.50 to 81 gross weight; mutton sheep,
111S to 2 cents per pound gross; pork 80
cents on foot.
There is nothing doing in the wheat
market either in Portland or this city.
The mills are paying 81 cents per bushel
for good milling wheat, and the ware
houses when buying pay 80 cents per
bushel. Eastern, as well as European
advices to present date continue to re-
port dull and weak markets. In Eng
land reports indicate a larger yield pen
acre than last year.
The London Times and Mark LaneEx.
press estimate Great Britain crop among
the best ever made, and yet predict.
ENGLAND and Americas product will bs
less than that of 1898, but admits tha
Argentine with her surplus of 60, 600 ,00(
bushels together with that of most o
! Southern Europe will close up the de
! fciency. Americas consumption o
) wheat for all purposes is about $40, 900,
| 600, showing probable quantity for ex
, port over and above that carried owe
3 from the last years harvest, of abou
$50, ,o0O, 900. A writer says that if tn
/ producer could hold his wheat unit
: June 1st, 1895, which is not advisable t
attempt, the markets would double il
their quotations.
The wool market is nearly knocke
: out as about all the wool in storage ha
8 been sold. Since last report ligh
! furry in wool was experienced, whic
n was of short duration, and at the clos
lull in transactions showed a falling o
o and and settling back into the seal
/ of inactivity and depression. The tari
n bill which became law by the inactio
of the president even at the last mome1
completely paralyzed the wool businel
and those that sold early were tt
gamers.
