POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS
Postmaster-Generai's Proposition Re-
ceiving Many Endorsements.

ceiving Many Endorsements.
Washington, Nov. 24.-Postmaster-
General Gary is receiving many letters
regarding the postal saving bank propo-
sition strongly urged by him in his an
nual report. Many people throughout
the country have written, commenting
on the projected radical extension of
the postal service, and have submitted
some suggestions calculated in their
opinion to make the correspondents in
dictate a rather general commendation,
and some well-known economists and
fnanciers numbered among the post
master-general's friends, who have
heretofore opposed measures of this
character, have in letters just received
given a qualified Endorsement. Post.
MASTER General Gary expects some leg
islation by congress on this question,
posi- bly, at the next session, and free
discussion OF it throughout the country
will render material assistance to this
end.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

toGice OF Downing, Hopkins & Co, Chicago
Board oiTrade Brokers, Tl-TIChamber Of CONF
merce building, Portland, Oregon.l
No decided changes have occurred in
wheat values during the week. The
market has been principally noted for
the absence of general speculation and
the presence of several arguments that
apparently warrant an advance. Crop
adviccs in America, while showing an
Improvement in condition of the grow
ing crop, most certainly indicate a de-
creased area seeded. The news from
the Argentine crop has been sensation
al. General frosts have occurred. but
the extent of the damage, if any, is
only Il matter of conjecture. The exact
facts cannot be ascertained for some
time yet. Reports from Russia assert
the rye crop to be very snort and the
oat crop poor. The export demand con-
tinues undated, and in excess of our
weekly surplus. 1t is a matter Of re-
cent history that export countries are
liable to sell more than their available
surplus of breadstutfs and be forced to
become importers. This is evidenced
in the case of Australia and the Argen-
tine during the past year, and should
our export c~learances continue at the
present rate it is entirely possible that
American supplies may be likewise ex-
hausted. Receipts at primary points
are large, compared with last year, and
visible stocks continue to increase.
When the high values are taken into
consideration together with the large
crop produced last year, it is a matter
of surprise that the primary receipts
are not much larger. Advices from
the northwest indicate that the move
ment from first hands is decreasing.
Export c%learances of wheat and flour
for the week were 1858, 791 bushels.
Large sales for export have been made
during the week, partly the result of
apprehended damage to the Argentine
crop.
The local speculative condition of the
wheat market is very unsatisfactory.
There is an absence of general specula-
tive interest due partly to high values.
but more particularly to the small
stocks and the presence of more or less
manipulation in the market. A large
short interest exists entirely out of pro-
portion to existing stocks. There is
nothing in the general situation to war
rant any decline. The result of the
Argentine crop seems to be the determ-
lining factor regarding future values.
Until the result is definitely known it
seems that present values will be fully
maintained and probably advanced.
There has been a decided improve
ment in the cash demand for corn,
both for Eastern account and for ex-
port. The government report, estimate
ing the crop yield at 1892, 900, 900
bushels, is not credited by the trade
and entirely unwarranted according to
private advices.

CHEERED FOR AMERICA.
Released Prisoners Brought on a Riot
in Porto Rico.


Havana, Nov. 30. - Advices from
Porto Rico say a riot occurred there
yesterday. 1t appears that a steamer
having on board a number of political
prisoners, recently released from the
Spanish penal settlement on the Afri-
can coast, in accordance with the am
nesty decree, arrived there, and the
liberated men were allowed to land.
They soon found their way to a drink
ing saloon, p%artook OF stimulants and
began cheering for the United States,
crying:
"Hurrah for free America"
This demonstration wal resented by
the crowds about the place, and rioting
followed. The police were called upon
to interfere, and compelled the liber-
ated men to re-embark. During the
disturbance, the police arrested the in
surgent, Colonel A~liposanchez.
Senior Marcos Garcia, the governor of
Santa Clara, has arrived at Sagua, in
order to be better able to judge of the
condition of the reconcentradoes. From
this day, these unfortunate people will
receive ~rations.
The Spanish authorities today re-
leased from prison Thomas j. Jordan,
a prisoner captured, according to the
allegations, after the landing of an ex-
petition by the American schooner
Three Friends, and Emanuel Herman
DEE, who is said to have been a mem
Der of another flibustering expedition.
Both men were under sentence OF
death. The government has also re-
leased from prison Juan Arts, Angus
tine Cossio, Emil Betancourt and Ro-
sendo Betancourt.
