WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
[Ofice of Downing, Hopkins h Co., Chicago
Board OF Trade Brokers' 711-714 Chamber OF Com
merce Building, Portland, Oregon.l

LOmce OF Downing, Hopkins q Co., CniCaeo
Board Of Trade Brokers. T1-714 Chamber OF Com
merce Building, Portland, Oreg0nl
The trade has fallen into a 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-
ton.
In the Northwest the claim is made
that 80 per cent of the crop has been
marketed, and that country elevator
stocks are very light compared with
previous years. Every one is looking
for a 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 justlf1es.
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 SUBJ
situations of other articles cuts greatly
into the consumption, and that the
spectators 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
not exceed 100000 bushels. Trad
ers lose sight of the fact that Argen-
tine is large country, and that unfa-
vorable 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 midas pros
poets are evidently good, judging from
the free offerings in Liverpool for Sep
TENDER. The American visible supply
this week showed larger increase than
expected, being / ,051 900 bushels more
than last week, and now totals $685.
900 bushels, as compared with 81, 49,
900 bushels at the same time last year.

DR.. Zertucha, who was the physics n
of the late General Maceo. has been
appointed mayor of Bejucal, Havana
province. Zertucha has belonged, in
his day, to all the political parties in
Cuba. At one time he was bandit in
the Vuelta Abajo, and his record was
very discreditable. It was quite mex
plicable to the friends of Maceo that he
kept the physician on his staff for SO
long a period, Notwithstanding the
warnings given him. Maceo used to
say that Zertucha's fault was his
drinking habit. At the time the ia
nous Cuban commander was killed,
Zertucha was charged with leading him
and his party into the fatal ambush,
but he issued long statement in which
he tried to show that Maceo met his
death in battle in the usual way. Ter
tucha also bitterly assailed the honor
of the Cuban leaders. After the kill
ing of Maceo the dishonored physician
was allowed to 60 free by the Span
iards, and it was said, and generally
believed. that his pockets were we'll
lined with Spanish gold.
King Of . South Sea Island.
About six weeks ago John F. Hobbs,
a citizen of South Carolina, was cast
upon the island of Illika, in the South
sea. He lived among the natives. for
he could not get away then. He
taught the uncivil.zed people many
things and instructed them in arts un-
known to them. So, when a year later
their king died, he was chosen to rule
over the four islands. Mr.. Hobbs had
q commission to the Worlds Fair and
to the Atlanta exposition. While in
New York last year in May on his way
to Australia, and his far-of kingdom,
he met Miss Ella Collin and made her
his wife, wife of King Oumalea, Of
'ika, and postponed his trip to this
sdom. But now, as soon as the
IS princess is able to go, the royal
family will begin the journey. The
natives Of the island of Illika are akin
to the Samoana It is said Mr.. Hobbs
once refused an offer by England 81
Gl5. 900 and knighthood for his little
kingdom.

being the usual sizes taken. Each
man should have canvas sleeping bag,
preferably parafined, with hood to
draw over his head. He can have an
other heavy wooden sleeping bag to 60
inside this, or use blankets, as he may
prefer. though there is more warmth
to the same weight in the sleeping bag.
AS for clothing, the essentials are
mackinaw suits, heavy wooden under
wear and overshirts, heavy woolen
socks, wooden mitts and fleece lined
leather mitts, heavy leather boots, gum
boots, overalls, wooden cap, soft felt
hat and waterproof clothing sack. To
this equipment one may add whatever
he may think desirable, but these at
least are necessary. The question of
footwear is an important one. Gum
boots are worn only while at work in
the water, either in q claim or along
the trail Leather boots crack and are
easily ruined in the snow and cold
The Indians make q moccasin boot
called "muckluck, which is the usus
footwear along the Yukon, but it wi.
of course be impossible for them to sup
ply the demand for them next year.
This renders it advisable for the gold
seeker to take at least one extra pair of
boots with him. The most desirable is
the style of boot worn by lumbermen.
There are numerous little things that
are necessary part Of an equipment.
Every man should have a small kit Of
shoemaker's tools and supplies, also
complete mending outfit for clothing.

Gov. Rogers Explains the Lesson
the War has Taught,

Olympia, Wash. Aug. 13.-The Span
ish war has taught the American peo-
pie the value of national power on the
seas. A proper utilization of the lesson
will give us an immense increase in
merchant marine and foreign COM
merce. With foreign commerce has
always gone increase in knowledge. In
1854 Commodore Perry's ships forcibly
opened Japanese ports to the trade of
the world. The birth of what is practi-
cally new nation was the result. If
the present war induces our people in
like manner to cast their eyes abroad,
a new and grander America than the
past has known, will have in the travail
Of the Spanish war, its origin and birth.
Our place in the future history of the
world will depend upon our comprehen-
sion of the present opportunities.
