WHEAT AND CORN SUPPLY.
Europe Needs Larger Quantities-Ar-
gentine Corn a Factor.

The London Statist, in reviewing the
grain market, calls attention to the
following:
There are well founded reports of
purchases of Roumanian and Ameri-
can wheat for st. Petersburg. This
betokens a very extraordinary condi-
ton of things in country which for
some years past has been Europe's
chief source of supply. Stocks in most
of the importing countries must now
indeed be very low.
Until quite recently there had been
no inducement to buy except from
hand to mouth. and millers and mer-
chants have unquestionably let their
stocks run down to low point. The
consequence is that the requirements
during the next five months will be
relatively greater than in the past
seven months; in fact. the require d
imports per week are now estimated
at 1,375,000 quarters-525,0 900 for
United Kingdom. 250,OOO for Germany
and 100000 for balance of Europe.
The Indian wheat crop for 1867
was 40,000,000 quarters, the exports
being 100000 quarters. These re-
turns show much larger home con-
sumption in India than used to be the
case (the average annual expectation
for four years past having been s.
$50, 900 quarters), presuming that the
official crop returns are correct. Pres
ent crop indications point to yield
somewhat in excess of last years crop.
AS bearing upon the wheat trade,
the Argentina ministry of agriculture
estimates this years maize crop there
at only S,S5O.O0O quarters, against
about 2O,OOO,OOO quarters last year;
so that the surplus for export is reck-
oned as only 1,350,000 quarters
against nearly 100000 quarters in
the past season.

LAUNDRY CHANGES HANDS.
II. II. Nolen & Son have Purchased
the Pendleton Steam Laundry.

A change of ownership of the Pen
dleton Steam laundry took place yes
terday, H. H. Nolen e Son having
bought out the local firm of Fishman
G. Peters. The name of the laundry
hereafter will be the Troy laundry,
and the new management have i'g-
nified their intentions of giving the
local patrons as we'll as that of the
surrounding towns, only first-class
work and at prices that are the low
est possible.
Both Mr.. Nolen and his son are eX-
pert laundrymen, having been in the
business for a number of years. A
good many new features will be in
troduced and the plant will be chang
ed to meet the requirements of a town
Of this size.
A class of work which is very pop
ular in the cities and much appreci-
ated by the housewives, is that OF
trough dry work" The new firm will
have the pleasure of acquainting the
Pendleton people with this kind of
laundry work for. the first time.
There is no reason why it should not
meet with instantaneous success and
Pendleton will surely be quick to
adopt the most modern city ways.
The rough dry work is charged by
the pound and not by the piece OF
garment as is customary. The Troy
laundry will also make a speciality Of
doing fine grade of work in launder-
ing shirts, collars and all starch goods
The location is on Cottonwood street

OLD STREET CRIES.
The Din That Deafened London In
Days of Long Ago.

Somewhere about a score of years
ago there was published in London
a tiny volume of most unusual in
terest to students of old time man
ners and customs. It was called
"Old London Street Cries" and con-
tanned several hundred familiar
calls, beginning with the middle of
the fifteenth century, in which, as
in mirror, one can see reflected the
life of the common people through
the years-what they ate and drank
and wore, their furniture and
amusements, the toys their children
played with and their Injuries, long
since become commonest necessi-
ties.
A walk through London streets
in those days must have been a YER
liable running of the gantlet. A
few specimens of the calls which be-
sieged the travellers ears will suf-
fee.
"Buy my dish of great eelsp
"Buy fine singing birdw 'sBuy my
wax or wafers!" 'sHot baked wor-
dens (stewed pears)p 'eKnives or
scissors to grindg" "Buy my four
ropes of onions!" 'fBuy foote-
stoole!' Ribbons a groat a yard p
buy a horn bookp' "Songs, three
yards a penny!" EfHolly and mistle-
toe! "London's Gazette herep'
BUY my nice drops, twenty a pen
ny, peppermint drops" Troop ev-
cry one (toy hobby horses)p ssThree
rows penny pins, short whites and
middle-ings!"
Nor were the eager merchants
content with verbal solicitation.
The bewildered wayfarer was often
SO "pull-hauled" by one after an
other that resistance must have been
well nigh impossible.
But times change and street life
with them. A generation ago few

don hucksters called up and down
