Savannah, Ga, Aug. 9.-The Third
and Fifth regiments of United States
volunteers arrived here today and are
in camp awaiting transports to take
them to Santiago. The Third regiment
arrived this morning from Macon, and
the Fifth tonight from Columbus, Miss.

night and Is loading the baggage of the
Fifth regiment, two battalions of which
will 60 on board tomorrow and will
sail at noon.
The Leona is expected in the morn
ing. The Minnewaska Is delayed
through an accident to heN machinery
and IS not expected before Tuesday.
She will carry the Third regiment, COM
manded by Colonel Patrick Ray.
All of sthe officers and men are anx-
ious to get away. There is no lack Of
enthusiasm among them, and the ap-
peals that have been made to the war
department to save them from Santi-
ago, the men of both regiments say,
are without authority and misre-
present them by discrediting their
valor.

Paris, Aug. l0.-The Temps today
says: Fresh and energetic instruc-
tions have been sent to M. Cambon, the
French am bassador at Washington, to
secure the release of the French steam

her detention is arbitrary and illegal,

diplomatic mail bags on board"
The Olinde Rodriguez was captured
by the New Orleans on July II off San

prize into Charleston, S. G. The Com

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

| WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
lIReported by Downing. Hopkins Co... Inc,
Bbard of Trade Brokers, I'll to IA Chamber OF
| Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.l
Wheat is being held back by farmers,
who refuse to sell at present figures.
| IT must not be expected that there will
be free movement until the spring
wheat starts. The majority Of the
wheat delivered in the past 80 days
has gone to exporters to fill contracts
made months ago. TIE buying to fill
these contracts has taken the bulk of the
arrivals, SO that millers and elevator
people have had to compete most of the
time with exporters. The July deal is
now out of the way. Foreigners are heav-
lily short of September and December,
and until receipts increase the export
ers will find it difficult to fill their con-
tracts unless they have taken advan-
tage Of the breaks to cover. Every one
admits there is more than enough
wheat to go around, and the trade is
extremely light.
Prospects. in the northwest are for
200, 600 bushel crop or about the same
as harvested in 1895. Elevator men
there are also hedging here.
In Europe the crop situation. as COM
piled by Broomhall of the Liverpool
Corn Trade News, was given as follows:
The warm breezy weatherin the Uni
ted Kingdm Of the past II days has
been of almost inestimable value to
farmers. The ceral crops at the same
time have come in at a great pace, and
if only continuance of bright sunshine
could be assured for another II days,
harvest would be in full swing in many
important districts. Unfortunately the
weather is now unsettled-indeed, the
summer seems to be completely broken
again.
