THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, FRIDAY, MAY 19, 1893.
The Weekly Ghr oniele.
The following Is the statistical report
wf the Illinois State Hoard of Ajrrtcul
ture for May 1st, 18'J3, which would
eeiu to indicate a poor showing to those
who are accustomed to the bountiful

that they are losing money when they
expected to do a booming business.
The people of the United Stales are not
patronizing Chicago like they did Phila
delphia in 1870. They like to be hum
bugged, hut they don't like to be robbed
and then laughed at for their Indiscre
tion in going to Chicago. There, must
bo n great change made in the methods
of that city, and that soon, if they ever
hope to recover their money. Chicago
has overreached herself this time, and
has given us a reputation umong neigh
boring nations of lieing a people given
to extortion.
.1 FIXANCIAL FAILURE.
nudiate the the former, (leo. Herbert
who is his partner in misfortune, did
the honorable thing in refusing to be a
nominee last night, was wise as we
MARKET REPORT.
The action of those democrats who got
up a convention and nominated a
straight party ticket has not niet with
that degree of favor with their party
that they had hoped for. There are
those among them who are out-spokerM
in designating the action as surperiluofis
iu the extreme. Party lines have not
been drawn iu our city administration
for many years, and there is no occasion
to do so now. What the people want is
a wise, conservative, practical course of
conduct without reference to the great
questions of national di (Terence, ami
such an administration have we had in
the past, and expect for the future. As
stated in the beginning there are manr
democrats who do not propose to he
held to theirpoliticitl complexion or toan
accounting for their vote for whom tli-'y
please. It is therefore confidently pre
dicted that the whole ticket will be
snowed under, and thus tuach the
wholesome lesson that the chicanery and
intrigue of machine politics is distaste
ful to the majority of citizens, who want
the best man, no matter what hie party
affiliations.
The Astorian asks: When will Port
land learn wisdom? Her merchants and
manufacturers find now that the sweep
ing reduction in freight rates made by
the Great Northern imperils her jobbing
trade and local industries. The eastern
rates to Spokane are lower than those
from Portland to that city. It follows
that Portland will be forced to seek for
trade within narrower limits. The Cal
ifornia drummer is almost at her gates
and the Spokane traders will saon invade
her territory. Long ago Portland should
have prepared for this welfare by pro
moting the development of Oregon in
many ways. 1 lie construction of a rail
road to Astoria by way of the Kehalem
valley should have been one of the first
things that Portland undertook to hold
her grip on the commerce of Oregon and
Washington;
A ranting aggregation of high-sounding
words and phrases, false and mis
leading in every line, have Wn pro
mulgated as the "platform" of the city
.democrats. Its pessimistic-construction,
by a little ring styling themselves the
city democrats, will be repudiated by
the real followers of that party here. I
The city finances are not in such a state
that the "encumbrance of property
verges on confiscation by taxation," as
there lugubriously stated. Warrants
are worth 100 cents on the dollar; there
are no bonds out which have to lie paid,
and no loan contemplated. Talk about
confiscation is rot.
It is now plainly apparent that the
world's fair is not proving the financial
success which Its promoters hud hoped
to find it. The Chicago exposition was
built op on a grand scale, probably a
grander one than tho world will see for
some decades, if ever again, in this
country. The architecture is on a stu
pendous scale of magnificence, and it
can almost lie said that no expense has
been spared to create an exposition that
excites the just wonder and admiration
of all who have visited the fair.
All this effort, however, took money.
It is estimated that between $'-,0,000,000
and f;10,000,000 were needed to produce
the exposition of 1893, and it is known
that but a small part of the sum was
contributed by the government. A far
larger portion was obtained by sub
scriptions from those who held at one
time the hope that the investment
rould yield a fair return. How baseless
that hope has proven as yet may le
learned from the reports of the auditors.
In spite of the stories of large attend- j
ance on various uavs, it uppears that
the receipts of the exposition do little
more than suffice to meet the running
expenses. As yet there seems to he no
immediate prosect of making any profit
which will serve to reimburse those who
subscribed so largely to the exposition
fund as an investment, and it is to le
supposed that the investors are already
beginning to despair of f getting any con
siderable portion of their original sub
scription back.
Apparently the managers of the fair
already realize that many people who
might otherwise have attended have
iieen Kept irom tne exposition tiy causes
which can 1 remedied. The lack of
free seats and cheap restaurants was a
potent factor in keeping cople away,
and it now appears that the old order
of things in that respect is lieing dunged
foi the better. Railroad charge are
still excessive and paevail to keep a verv ,

Tiit'KsiiAV, June 15th. The week of
trade just passed has revealed nothing
of interest, other than the general tone
has been of a more satisfuctorv charac
ter. The volume of business has been
greater than that of former weeks of the
the season. Money seems to be easier,
and it is more noticeable in transactions
of all kinds.
The markets have undergone no ma
terial chango that Is of importunce.
There has been a alight advance of '.
cent on coffee, but other staples remain
steady on quotations.
Produce and provisions are in good
aupplv, with a good demand for home
consumption and export.
The egg market is noted for larger re
ceipts, with a downward tendency.
Butter continues to arrive, and prices
remain unchanged from former quota
tions. New potatoes are taking the place of
old and are on the market at 5 cents per
lb. Green peas are abundant, and G
cents per lb. is paid for export.
Strawberries are exceedingly large
and tine, ami shipments are increasing
to points east and west. Prices range,
according to sine and quality, from 7 to
8 cents per lb. per crate, on a good de
mand.
Gooseberries are iu large receipts, on
prices ranging from IS to 20 cents per
gallon.
Poultry coutiuuee to arrive and for
mer prices are quoted for old fowls, and
corresHudiug prices for broilers.
The market is well supplied with all
other kinds of garden produce, iuclud
ing early cabbage and turnips.
The cereal market remains inactive
While reports are more or less conflict'
ing on futures, it is a conceded fact that
the wheat product w ill fall short in the
United States and in most of the bread
producing sections of Europe and Asia.
There is a favoiahle outlook fur fair
prices for the product of IM;.
The wool market continues dull and
depressed. The quotations in Iloston
up to the Dili mit. remain nearlj
steady for Calilorniu ami Oregon wools.
Oregon wools have lieen cleaned nearly
out, and the new clip is quoted at 14 to
IScenls for Kastern Oregon fair, and 17
to IK rents for choicest Valley, 18 to 21c.
