WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

lodiee Of Downing, Hopkins & Co, Chicago
Board OF Trade Brokers, 7ii.7i4chamber 81 com
merce Building, Portland, oregonl
The trade has fallen into way OF
thinking that the big receipts OF the
past week will clean up the surplus
wheat that is liable to come out at
present prices. Most of this wheat is
contract, when it is all in the bulls
think that they will control the situa.
tion.
In the Northwest the claim is made
that so per cent of ths crop has been
marketed, and that country elevator
stocks are very light compared with
previous years. Every one is looking
for sharp falling off in receipts after
the first Of the year; also for higher
prices, while the situation on all sides
is admittedly bullish the world over,
the prices have not responded to what
the bulls think the position Of stocks
to estimate requirements justities.
They have fixed the standard Of values
in their own minds, and because they
are not realized they feel disappointed.
Most of them are too much inclined to
lose sight of the fact that the price OF
wheat has reached point where sub.
stitutions of other a~ticles cuts greatly
into the consumption, and that the
speculators are more solicitous as to
the price and the probable supplies
than the consumers.
The outlook for supplies from Ar.
gentine is uncertain, the probability
being that the exportable surplus will
rot exceed $4,000, 900 bushels. Trad.
ers lose sight of the fact that Argen
tine is a large country, and that unfa.
yorable conditions will hardly exist
over the entire territory.
Harvesting is now in progress, and
the rains might reduce the exportable
surplus. There will be little wheat to
ship from Australia, but India's pros.
poets are evidently good, judging from
the free offerings in Liverpool for Sep
tember. The American visible supply
this week showed larger increase than
expected, being l,051 900 bushels more
than last week, and now totals 80, 6l6,-
600 bushels, as compared with "a ,443,.
600 bushels at the same time last year.

Gray's Harbor Lumber shipment..


That the Gray's harbor country has
enjoyed affair degree Of prosperity dur,
ing the year 1897 is shown by the for
eign lumber shipments as compared
with those of 1896, the increase being
nearly 300 per cent. In 1898, only II
vessels with lumber sailed from that
harbor for foreign ports, the aggregate
amount OF lumber being 3,400, 600 feet,
while during the present year 22 YES.
sells cleared from Gray's harbor, carry.
ing l0,640,000 feet of lumber, valued
at $4,000.
OF the 22 vessels clearing for foreign
ports from Gray's harbor during the
present year, 10 of them loaded at the
mills in Aberdeen--14 at the West q
Slade mill, with cargoes amounting in
the aggregate to 1928. feet, and two
at Wilson Bros. e. Co.'S mill, whose
cargoes aggregated 975,000 The E.
X. Wood mill at Hoquiam, shipped four
cargoes foreign, 2,7S2,00 feet, and
the Northwestern Lumber Company
two cargoes, aggregating 800, 900 feet.
Most Of this lumber went TO Mexi-
can ports, although Honolulu received
several cargoes, while Africa, New
Caledonia, Australia, and Peru each
received one cargo. At the present
time the mills have orders for foreign
cargoes Of lumber, and the owners an
ticipate that the 1893 foreign trade
will greatly exceed that OF 1897.

Large Potato YieId.

The largest potato yield on record
was produced in Northern Wyoming in
1890. According to sworn testimony,
It amounted to 974 bushels and forty
pounds per acre, Of which S3S bushels
were marketable. The expense Of pro
duction was stated to have been $74.S0.
Such a crop anywhere in the country
this year would have been pretty prof
liable. The average yield of potatoes
in the United States is in ordinary
years about one hundred bushels to the
acre.

Weed Flarors in MIX.

The milk is carefully examined when
received, and all that is the least affect
ed with the onion or weed flavor, is set
aside by itself, and then run through a
separator, and its cream kept separate.
To this cream is added twice its own
bulk of hot water, in which saltpetre,
In the proportion of one ounce to three
gallons of water, has been dissolved.
This raises the temperature of the mix
ed cream and water to about 160 de-
grees, and it is Immediately put
through the separator again. The re-
suit is a fine. thick cream, with no trace
OF weed flavor in 1t, and withal thor
oughly pasteurized, and the Babc0ck
test shows no loss of fat in the opera
tion. In order to ripen such cream for
churning, starter is needed. Pas
teurizing has been tried for the purpose
OF eliminating bad flavors from cream
with partial, though not perfect, sue
cess. The same may be said in refer
ence to heating the milk and running it
through the separator at temperature
of 100 degrees or 160 degrees. Washing
cream has also been tried, with the wat
er at the ordinary temperature of sep
arating, and this has very materially
reduced bad fiavors. -Hoard's Dairy

In rows, and require no poles. they can
