GENERAL SHIPPING.
PORTLAND. Or, July 2O.--J. C. Rob-
inson, a well known mil man, has re-
ceived a sample of -four from mill in /
Yokohama. The flour was manufactur- |
ed from a cargo OF wheat sent from |
here several months ago and to all APP /
pearances is first-class article. Along !
with the sample, over which the Jap /
anese are seemingly quite proud, comes !
the statement that the actual cost of !
the manufactured article was on the
basis of 81. 80 a barrel at a Pacific Coast
point. AS 81. SO per barrel is the lowest
| figure yet reported for flour sent to the
/ Orient, 1t would seem from this that tn
Japanese were in a fair way to become
active competitors for the trade of the
Orient.
STORM AT NEEDLES.
NEEDLES, July 20.-The heaviest
rain of the season fell last night, at

4 two hours. Two steamers broke from
J their anchorage and stuck in the mud
} in the middle of the stream. The pre-
cipitation was one and tenth inches.
No damage to the raj roads is reported.
