WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

Board OF TRADE Brokers, 7ii.7ii Chamber OF Com
mcrce Building, Portland, oregon.l
The past week has been a very quiet
one in the grain trade, with narrow
fluctuations. Europe took $500, 900
bushels of our wheat, and from other
countries about 5000, 900 bushels.
a dispatch to the London Times
from Buenos Ayres says that there have
been good rains in the south and a
slight rainfall in the north, so that the
harvest is now secure. 1t is estimated
that 1000, 900 tons Of wheat will be-
exported.
Broomhall, a commercial authority
of Liverpool, cabled that a special
agent investigated crop conditions in
Russia and pronounced the spring
wheat crop in the important southeast
district to yield not over 90 per cent u
last year.
The Iecei IT'S of spring at Minneapo-
lis by the Touring mills have been very
large, running rs nigh rs /, 100 cars IA
n day. The American visible supply
increased !, 1876, 900 bushels, and now
totals 23, $50, 900 bushels. A year ago
today the visible increased 2,411. 900
bushels and totalled 54.S5S, 900
bushels.
Regarding the fall wheat. Much re-
lief in the drought regions has been ex-
perienced by quite extended rains,
which in many places were fairly lio-
eral, and in others less important. The
effect has been to revive cheerfulness
and confidence where the seriousness of
drought conditions was having a dis
c%ouraging influence. These rains have
not accomplished all that is needful,
but if they be soon followed by more
moisture there will be much done to
overcome the drawbacks which have
been attending autumn seeding opera
tions.
1t is yet too early to offer IN explicit
opinion as to the probable relative area
of autumn sown wheat, but it now
seems practically conclusive that there
will be shown considerable gain over
last year. 1t is in evidence that Oc-
tober sowings of wheat if followed with
ordinary favorable conditions may be
expected to result we'll, and in fact the
wheat sown as late as the middle of
November has possibilities favoring a
good yield.
The rains have had the effect to
weaken the market sentiment to some
extent. and wheat values have receded.
Other influences have also had moro
or less bearing in the same direction.
The large foreign demand which served
in an important degree to stimulate the
advancing tendency of values some
weeks ago has been modified, as might
have been expected as a natural result
to follow that abnormal activity.

New York, Oct. 25.-The Herald has
made investigation into the alleged de-
parture OF the tilibustering expedition
from New York on the schooner Silver
Heels last Saturday. As to the suspic-
ious circumstances attending the depar-
ture of the vessel, II. p. Brown, her
agent said: ''There is nothing suspic-
ious about the sailing of the Silver
Heels. She took nothing which could
be regarded as c%ontraband goods. She
sailed for Norfolk and Charleston in
search of a charter. AS her agent, |
should certainly have known if she had
taken cargo from this port"
Despite the emphatic denial of
Brown, the Herald learns from other
sources that the Silver Heels did leave
New York Saturday night loaded with
arms and ammunition, and that she
went direct to sea. At some point on
the high seas she is expected to trans
fer her cargo to another craft which
would have armed men on board,
whose destination is Cuba. Tomas
Estrada Palma, the Cuban representa-
tive, said:
81 am positive that no armed expedi-
ton left this port for Cuba"
