WEEK'STRADEREVIEW Report ot R. G. Dun Com mercial Agency. FROM AMERICA'S METROPOLIS A Good Business Expected After tin Conventions Adjourn and Crops Are Assured. New York, Jane 8. R. G. Don 4 Co.'i weekly review of trae says: It la highly suggestive that, with ai little help as there now is from new business, markets are so nearly main, tained. Snmmer is close at band, and, with new . crops promising well, and old stocks large, it is no wonder the farm prodnots are cheap. Tbe fac tories and mills are still waiting foi the rush of business seen last year, and, in spite of narrow orders, are al present generally holding on with much confidence. It is so late thai gold exports no longer alarm, for the date of the expected returns drawi near. Lower prioes this season affect farmers very little, but the speculator! who have bought from them for a rise, the estimates entilted to most confl denoe, point to a probable yield of C00, 000,000 bushels of wheat, which, with the stock carried over, will dear away any danger of oppressive charges foi breadstuff's, at the same time giving prodnoers a fair return. The movement of cattle at the West is very heavy, at Chicago 10 per oent greater than last year thus far, and lard makes a new low reoord, with, enormous stookS accumulated. Tbre hardest problem of the day is whether iron and steel prioes can be maintained as they have been dnring the past week. The nail oombine has failed thus far to win over competitors who undersell them, and are able to mannfaoture 5,000 kegs against every 100 by concerns in the combine. The bar association asks for iron more than the selling price for steel bars. Open hearth billets are freely sold at Pitts burg below the price asked for Besse mer, and middlemen are still selling Bessemer billets about (1 below the price fixed by the pool. ' Naturally the donbt regarding maintenance of prioes greatly oheoks the demand for the pres ent, but that a large demand is oertain and will not be long delayed 4s one thing which prevents considerable de oline. ' Failures for the . week were 884 in the United Sttaes, agains 195 last year, and 29 in Canada, against 25 last year. IN HONOR OF DEAD HEROES Unveiling ot Statues to Generals Meade and Hancock. Gettysburg, Fa., Jane 8. An im mense crowd of veterans and others gathered at the battle-field here today to witnesss the unveiling of the splen did equestrian statues ereoted by the state of Pennsylvania in honor of the memory of Generals George Meade and Winfield S. Hancock. The memorial was unveiled at 10:80 A. M. by Master George Gordon Meade, a grandson of the dead hero. As the drapery fell from the beautiful statue a salute was fired by battery C, United States army, from Washington. The dedicatory services were conducted by George C. Meade post of the Grand Army of the Republic General Gobin, of Lebanon, on behalf of the commission whioh supervised the execution of the statute, formally transferred the memorial to Governor Eastings, who received it in behalf of the state. An oration by General David Mo Murtie Gragg, of Reading, the famous commander of the Seoond cavalry divi sion in the battle of Gettysburg, con cluded the Meade ceremonies. At 3 P. M. the Hanoook statue was unveiled. General Gobin transferred the staiue to thestate; Governor Hast ings reoeived it. An oration was de livered by General Henry H. Bingham, congressman from Philadelphia. LAKE STEAMER'S ESCAPE. ProMpt Aotlon of Her Captain Averted a Disaster. Chioago, June 8. A gaping hole in the baok side of tbe Goodrich line steamer Virginia, just above the aft gangway, tells this morning of the nar row escape the steel lake greyhound and 200 passengers had last night from be ing a oentral figure in a terrible trag edy. While the Virginia was returning from Milwaukee last night she collided with the schooner Mary A. MoGregor. A thick fog prevailed at the time, which rendered objects invisible at a distance of a few feet A panio on the upper decks was made by the terrified pas sengers. Tbe quick command of Cap tain Stein, of the Virginia, who was on tbe bridge, in altering the course of the steamer just as tbe two vessels came together, prevented a horrible disaster. As it was, there is a large hole in the baok side of the steamer, while the schooner had her bowsprit carried away and otherwise badly damaged by the collission. The schooner was bound from Racine to Milwaukee. Captain Stein said that the collission was un avoidable. The Virginia was running slower than usual, and to this he at tributes her escape from foundering. Turkish Soldiers Killed. Berlin, June 8. A dispatch front Athens says that tbe Turkish detach ment consisting of eighty-five, which returned to Vamoa, a town in the isl and of Crete, recently beseiged, to re move war material, was cut to pieces by the insurgents, only two Turks escaping.

Independence boasts of a young man not yet 20 years of age, whose height is 6 feet 9 inches. Charles Bioker is his name. A great amount of snow has fallen in the Blue Mountains during this month, whioh insures a long season for the placer miners. The waterspout in Gilliam oounty last week did a great deal of damage on Pine oreek, destroying gardens and filling up irrigation ditohes Three foet of snow is reported on the Mount Adams ranges this month, where, last year, earlier than ibis, grass was abundant and fifteen inches high. T)Hn Rvan. a miner, died in Grant's Pass last week from tbe effects of chlo roform administered daring a surgioal operation to remove a cancerous growth from his lower jaw.

Coal mining and shipping will begin on the Illinois tnis wees. a. v. Hume, of ' Wedderburn, will get 100 tons as a starter. The steamer, nsed carries only four tons to the load. Tbere was a waterspout at MoKay, in Umatilla oounty, last week, and an other two days later. They did much damage, washing out potatoes that were planted and doing other damage to crops. Notices of appeal to the supreme court have been filed in the oases of Marcus S. Koshland vs. Hartford Fire Insurance.- Company and .Marcus S. Koshland vs. Home Mutual Insurance Company, from Pendleton. ' " Thomas Thomason, inBpeotor ot horses for Umatilla county, had a big round-up of diseased horses on tbe Umatilla reservation, and many of the animals were killed. The diseased horses were suffering from mange. S. Price, who came from Indiana to Oregon in 1803, brought with him at the time a $1 bill, whioh he exhibited the other day in The Dalles. It was issued by the state from the Miami county bank at Troy, and at the time was good in Indiana, Ohio ana a por tion of Kentucky. r The Bvera flonrlnsr mill, in Pen dleton, has just finished loading a ship ment of three oarloads of flour, bound for San Salvador. The mill ships to Central Amerioa and China, and tbe Chinese insist on having their flour in green sacks, while tbe San Salvadorans will only take theirs in blue bags. Mrs. Mary Ann Childs, a oolored woman, 57 years of age, visited the Cbemawa school last week. She hails from Louisiana, and has been traveling for the last four years. She left Louisiana, and traveled on foot to New York, from there to Washington and from that oity to Florida. She then started West. Plans have been prepared for a new building at Bingham Springs station for the convenience of tourists and others. It will be built of fir trees in old-fashioned style, with doors and windows as used years ago. The out side will be left with rough rustio ap pearance, but the inside will be fitted up in modem style. Much wool is now being reoeived at Pendleton by rail and team for tbe scouring mill and commission men. Dealers are not anxious to buy, and there has been but little selling or ship ping. Mr. Koshland has so far shipped four crloads to Boston and one to Port land. A large quantity is arriving by rail from Eastern Washington points. Tbe loss of lambs this season in Mal heur oounty, consequent upon the con tinued cold spring weather, has been very groat, the loss in a few instances execeeding 50 per cent of the crop, says the Vale Gazette. Tbe Bheepmen, how ever, are not any losers on the aggre gate season's profits, for the reason that an easy winter did away with tbe necessity of muoh feeding, so that tbe loss of a part ot the increase will not seriously affect local sheepmen. Tbe Smithsonian Institution has donated a collection of 215 duplicate specimens of fishes to tbe university of Oregon. This collection is from tbe upper part of the Columbia river basin, in the state ot Idaho, and tbe speci mens of fishes were selected from tbe national museum at Washington, D.

MH.LKT. Its botanical name is l'cunlsteuiu splcittuni. A most re markable record of the luxuriant growth of this plant has been given by the late Peter Henderson, as fol lows: "Determined to give Pearl mil let a thorough trial, I prepared a piece of good ground, as if for a root crop, by nm miring at the rate of 12 or 15 tons to the acre,' plowing deeply and harrowing. The seed was Bown In drills 20 inches apart, at the rato of four or five pounds to the acre. The seed was sown about tUe middle' of May. When the plants wore iip, a jpul tlvatqr was run through the rowsj and the growth became so rapid that no further culture was necessary. The first cutting was mode forty-five days after -sowing; it was seven feet high, and covered the whole ground. Tbe crop.-cut three Inches above the ground, weighed as cut at the rate of 80 tons per acre; dried, QVj tons per acre. The Second growth, cut forty-five dnys from the time of the first cutting, was nine feet lilcrli. and welched at the rate of 55 tons to the acre fresh, equal to eight tons dried. The lost growtu starteu pnnlcllv. but the cool weather retarded It, so that the last Cutting only weighed 16 tons antf tons dried. The total yield was 05 tons green fodder In 135 doys,' equal to 1(3 tons of liny." The ac companying tlustration was engraved from a photograph of a plant which stood 13 feet high. , . Rklin Milk a Stock Feed. In estimating the nrotits of the dairy too little regard Is paid to the value of the skim milk as feed for pigs, calves ' and poultry. It Is so well adapted to all these kinds of stock that when used In connection with other feed, as It al- 1 l,r,,ll hn lha oMlTl mill? OIll llA worth much more tbau It can be If fed I 1 . Urtll. I a nnvfant I'll 1 1 (1T1 If aiuilc. .nun J a nut a J" 1". 1 contains too much bulk for Its nutri tion, and that nutrition Is more largely niri-nppnmia thnn It need to' be for profitable feeding. This makes it much I more valuable for feeding with grain of all kinds, and especially with corn, I In which carbonaceous nutriment Is greatly In excess. With plenty or sKim milk young pigs can eat and digest an amount of meal that would stunt their growth If given alone. But probably the best use of skim milk is as feed for hens. For this purpose It Is best made Into curd, and most of Its whey squeez ed out of It. If the milk Is given, only enough should be offered at one time that the fowls will drink, for If It stands In vessels these soon become sour and offensive. A Secure Gate Latch. The securing of the farm yard gate can be made a very easy matter by the making of a device such as Is shown below. It may be attached to any common home-made farm yard gate. For its construction, the board c Is a hard wood slat fastened to the board above by a swinging wire or Iron hinge b. When closing the gate, the slat c strikes a catch a; the catch a forces the slat c back, but as Its end Is exactly opposite1 tbe cut In a, the weight of the slat c forces It forward Into the cut of a, thus holding the Fin. 2. gate In place. The slat a passes be tween boards to bold It in place as well as through tbe end upright. In the cut, a Is shown as the gate locks and tbe catch a reversed. The cut should be made sufficiently wide so tbe slat will drop easily into place before tbe gate can swing by and tbe slat drop. The catcb a Is rounded so tbe end of tbe slat c will slide np Into place. Fig. 2 shows the catcb piece doubled so tbe gate will swing In both directions and catcb. Farm and Home. .

Tlw List grass Is always poor In qual ity, as it is giowu before the soil Is warmed nnd when It contains little avnllable nitrogenous plant food. For this reason cows ought always to be fed some grain when put at pasture, for, If not, they will be obliged to make good the quality of their milk by taking the fat stored on or In their bodies, and putting It Into the milk pail. The better the cow Is as a milker the more in clined she Is to do this. When It Is found that graining. the' cow ouly fat tens her, without Increasing' the milk flow, keep oil feeding the cow until she Is fattened for beef. " The more quickly a cow is fattened the' better quality her beef !U be. Cow beef has a reputa tlon for being tough, because the cow Is generally fattened while Its. owner Is drawing from her the last drop of milk he can get. .. For Protecting Newly Set Planta. The sketch herewith shows a simple contrivance. Short pieces of board a foot long and nine Inches wldb are sharpened as shown In the diagram, and to these are tacked long strips of cheap cotton cloth. Drawn tightly, and the sharpened ends pressed down Into IT PROTECTS TOUNO PLANTS. the earth, a fine protection Is afforded plants that have just been transplant ed. White cloth, especially, reflects the sun's rays and keeps all cool be neath It. If a long strip of cloth Is used, put a bit of sharpened board ev ery eight feet. Cotton cloth can be had at a few cents a yard, and three strips can be made from a piece of or dinary width. Grnas Under Treee. Tinder some circumstances grass ap pears to grow better under trees than it does when exposed to the full blaze of the summer's sun. In a young or chard, and especially one that Is plow ed every year, the tree roots near the surface are cut off by tbe annual culti vation. This leaves several inches of soli In which shallow-rooted grass plants thrive. But in orchards that have long been uncultivated, tree roots will be found very near the surface, ready to take in the rainfall, even of very light showers. In such circum stances it Is Impossible for grass to thrive, and much less for the deeper rooted clover to do so. In any event, the grass grown In the shade will have less nutrition than that which has abundant sunlight. In pasturing an orchard some extra food should always be given, not only for the benefit of the trees, but to supplement tbe deficien cies of the pasture. 1 Danaerons Btonea in Meadowa. Meadows should always be rolled ear ly In the spring while the ground Is soft. But if not done then, It should not be neglected a little later. Tha roll ing will not only compact the soil about the grass roots, but it will press down Into the soil the small stones which have been loosened and raised by frost It Is not the large stones that are mott dreaded by the driver of a mowlu? machine. The largest stone enn bn seen and avoided. It Is the small, thin stones, Just large enough to go between the mowing knife and guards, which not only dull tbe knives worst, but cause the greatest proportion of break ages. Low Down Km It Treee, The Increasing prevalence of high winds has much to do with making fruitgrowers favor the heading out of fruit trees near the ground. There Is great loss of fruit when tbe trees are high beaded, and It Is much more diffi cult to gather them without Injury, As for the old practice of training the head high, so that teams used In plow ing and cultivating can be driven "nder the branches, It Is very rarely followed now. The orchard ought to be culti vated only when young. After It gets into hearing seed It and pasture with sheep or swine, also adding mineral fertilizers every year. Alwaya In Trouble. The Government seed distribution Is again tbe subject of scandaL This time complaint is made about tbe purchase of tbe seeds and tbe way they were distributed. And now the Department of Agriculture complains that pack ages labe'ed like Its own are being used by private dealers. PORTLAND MARKETS. The butter market is fairly steady at quotations, whioh are certainly low enough for the consumer ana a iirae too muoh that way for the dairymen, Pnrntnflg are ateadv.
