Miormont, tolls that no such crcaturo on earth dwells, Just tako it from mo, it's no guff, nor fablo, hot air, yam, nor bluff. J. Miormont knows about such things for ho is close to queens and kings, and knows his gamo from A to 7. as well as somo aro known to mo, so thero's no uso of making fuss about tho things unknown to us. O, no, thoro Is no Monoy Trust. Wo, all, wore In wrong when wo cussed u monster that did not oxlst. Dccausa It seemed hnrd to sub sist on beans, and good alfalfa hay, wo lot imagination stray nnd wan dor in tho by-ways, long, and so have done J. Miormont wrong, If thoro just was a Monoy Trust, my friond, Miormont, with all his dust, would go forthwith bolilnd tho scenes and smash tho thing to smithereens. Ho'd novor let such crcaturo thrive as long aB ho had pow'r to drlvo a bargain in somo work of Art, onco dear to Dago paint er's hoart. Ah! no, thoro is no Monoy Trust. We're sorry that wo'vo stormed and fussed, and ground our teeth in sullen rago, llko man who lived In stony age. Wo, all, havo had ouough to cat, nnd oven brogaus on our foot. Wo'vo had a placo to lay our heads, wo'vo rested somo on corn-husk beds. Wo'll rest, howover, better now slnco J.

Tho -1'ole-grain says: "Though wo hopo for somo Improvement In tho potato market boforo tho end of this month, thoro Is no assurance what ever that anything of tho kind will come," said ono of tho lending lo cal dealers. "It is of courso pos slblo that tho Southern buyers a lit tle Inter will bo in n position to take tho Oregon Iiurbanks and prices In n limited wny, for sup plies of cheap Uivor stock In Cali fornia nro bolng reduced to somo oxteiit, but tho buyers thoro can draw from other states aB well as Oregon and In vlow of that fact the prospect for a markot for tho sur plus of this statu Is still iar irom encouraging. "Tho local buyers, who oarllor 1n tho season took over considerable quantities of American Wonders, Early Rose and Garnets, paying GO to (!0 routs n hundrod nt country shipping points for tho product, and wcro confident that tho South ern plantorH would bo in tho mar ket for them for Bood purposes bo fore tho end of tho yoar, still havo tho bulk of their purchases on tholr hands. Further, lato reports from California ludlcnto that tho fow cars that woro sent there from this stnto In Dccombcr aro for the most part still In storago Micro, unsold. "Wo havo more potatoes on our hands now, bought nt prices that showed Httlo profit for tho pro ducer than wo know what to do with, and so far as wo aro ablo to lenrn, other buyers, jobbors, re tailors and tho big customers like the hotels and restaurants, aro in about tho stuno position. As n result tho farmers' surplus thoro H001118 tt bo no satisfactory outlet. The growors living near tho city aro selling potatoes directly to consumers wherever posslblo and taking whatover prices they aro nblo to got." In tho Front strcot mnrkot thoro Is practically nothing doing. Occa sional sales of fancy stock to ro tailors at CO to 7H cents aro re ported, while stock a Uttlo short of standard Is In many cases offered freely nt prices around I0 rents a hundred. Tho movement In nil quarters Is an oxtromoly slow ono. Poultry Scarce. Thoro wns but Uttlo poultry of any kind in tho markot, and for everything dealers reported good prices readily obtainable. For hens and chlckons thoro wuh a good do in and nt 14 to 1G contfl, and tho few ducks, gcoso and turkeys in sight found ready buyers at thu prices last quoted. Veal was tho strong fenturo of tho drcssod meat trade. Receipts woro light nnd a clenn-up was of fected early In tho day, tho best going at 13 to 14 cents a pound. Pork nrrlvnls wero considerably henvlor and dealers expected to carry n good deal of this stuff over to noxt wook. Best hogs hold nt 9 to 10 conts. Eggs woro stondy, fresh locals selling In n fair wny nt 30 to 32 conts, and in tho ovont of contin ued cold weather doalors say that prices will undoubtedly work up to somo oxtont. Butter nnd clicoso woro both roported to bo cleaning up In a fairly satisfactory wny nt going prireB. Wliolesalo Prices.
