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 , large proportion of people thruiidiuiit me L imed Mates away Irotn the i tjn silion. With a grant of reaxmnaiMe 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.
