STOCK and
POULTRY
MEDICINE
Stock and poultry have few
troubles which are not bowel and
liver irregularities. Black
Draught Stock and Poultry Medi
cine is a bowel and liver remedy
for stock. It puts the organs of
digestion in a perfect condition.
Prominent American breeders and
farmers keep their herds and flocks
healthy by (living them an occa
sional done of Black-Draught Stock
and Poultry Medicine in their
Tood. Any stock raiser may buy a
25-cent half-pound air-tight can
of this medicine from his dealer
and keep his stock in vigorous
health for weeks. Dealers gener
ally keep Black-Draught Stock and
Poultry Medicine. If yours does
not, send 25 cents for a sample
can to the manufacturers, The
Chattanooga Medicine Co., Chat
tanooga, Tenn.
Rochellb, Ga., Jan. 30, 1902.
Black-Draught Stoek and Poultry
Medicine is the best I ever tried. Our
stock was looking bad when you sent
me the medicine and now they are
getting so fine. They are looking 20
per cent, better.

Portland Wheat
Bas Better tone
Prosptcts ct War Betwttn Japan
and Russia Strtnqtbtnld
ltlarkit.
Front street, Jan. 7 The principal
events in the local markets today were :
Cotton twine and rope up.
Better tone in wheat market.
Eggs weaker and lower.
No poultry in market.
Rumors in hop market.
Creamery butter still piles up.
Excellent tone in meats.
Salmon higher.
WHEAT HAS BETTER TONE.
The prospects of a war between Japan
and Russia has strengthened the local
wheat market to some extent, but as
yet there are no changes in tl e ruling
quotations. The millers here are bo
thoroughly stocked np with flour that
they do care to buy wheat except at the
1 present values, aud higher prices are
not even thought of. Up the valley the
smaller millers are anxious for supplies
and are paying several cents higtoer
figures than can be obtained in the
Portland market. Some of these con
cerns ae paying as high as 82 cents,
The flour situation is still in an un
settled condition, the city trade being
fair but the demand from the outside is
still off. Prices are unchanged.
CHANGES IN TWINE AND ROPE.
On account -f the much higher prices
that are ruling in the eastern cotton
market, local dealers in cotton twine and
rope ware today notified of an advance
of about 4 cents a pound in both of these
lines.
EGGS WEAKER AND LOWER.
Although the receipts of fresh Oregon
eggs this morning were quite small the
luarkest showed a weakening tendency
and sales were made all the way from
2T2 to 29 cents a dozen. Among tbe
arrivals of eggs now there are a large
number 61 seconds and these are selling
at 25 cents. The movement of eastern
eggs can now be said to be nominal.
NO POULTRY IN MARKET.
There was practica'ly no poultry in
the Front street markets today, but the
demand was not over strong, although
everything that did come was cleaned
up at the top of the market. Tbe de
mand for turkeys and geese is not so
large as it was during tbe former week
and the figures are slightly lower.
MANY RUMORS IN IMPS.
Rumors ef higher figures than 25 cents
are floating over the hop market, but no
ai'tual Bales have been reported over
this figure. The demand for hops keeps
up its strong activity of the past week
and sales now are not so good condition
can easily be seen by the prices that are
ruling for 1904 contracts. A number of
growers have already contracted their
coming year's crop at 16 cents, but most
cf the growers are holding off and 17 and
even 18 cents have been "offered and re
fused during the past week.
CREAMERY BUTTER PILES UP.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
proprietors of several of the local cream
eries are trying to bold up the quota
tions on butter, their efforts seem to be
proving futile, for the market is again
showing added weakness and tbe ten
dency of the limes is for a decline. All
over the country the creamery butter
market is showing declines, and tlie
Portland market is the highest. In San
Francisco the very best grade of cream
ery is going at 26 cents, and the markets
of that city are so badly overstocked
that one of the concerns there sent a
telegram to its Portland representative
to get offers on butter from the merch
ants of this city. Generally San Fran
cisco is a buyer of Portland country
store and dairy buSter, but now no
stock are wanted there. This cavses a
further weakness in those grades here
and the price looks like it is about to
touch bedrock.
DOINGS IN BAN FRANCISCO.
According to lute report from the
Pan Francisco market, potatoes, except
for the very best stocks, are weak, and
the latter grades are not showing any
too great firmness. According to one of
the men on tbe inside of the "produce
ring" oi that city, the dealers there are
sending out reports of activity in thecal)
for tbe better grade of stocks just to
make the receipts flow in larger and
then break the market. This has beeu
done several times before and the local
dealers are on the alert. Locally there
is a fair demand for potatoes, but the
movement cannot be said to be very
large. Pii -es today show no change.
EXCELLENT TONE IN MEATS.
The Front street- commission houses
were never in a better condition for
larger receipts of dressed meats. The
call for hogs and veal of all kinds is
very large, and the receipts of late have
been nominal. Large veal is showing
au upward tendency.
SALMON IS HIGHER.
On account of ascarity of fish in the
Columbia, steelhead salmon advanced 1
cent a pound today. The receipts of
all kinds of small fish, with tbe possible
exception of OolumDia river smelt, are
showing an increase. Raior clams, too,
are coming in again.

It is conceded on all hands that the prob
lem to be Solved is an ext.ramelv ilillionlt
one, if the Panama route is adopted.
How to get a locked canal over the spurs
of the Veragua range, ib the grave ques
tion. The great Culehra mountain
stands directly in the way, ten miles
wide, and competent engineers report
that there is not water enough orthe
muunmin m me summer time to fill the
locks of a canal. PRnnninllo nf a
broad enough and deep enough to carry
ma wunu s Duma snips. The answer of
optiaiiits t "this is that American engi
neers can do anything in ibe line of the
difficult aud marvelous. It is certain
that a Panama canal cannot be finished
for the practical transportation of ships
in many years. But in view of the
great things that American engineers
have accomplished, they will not be ex
pected to declare this feat impossible.
But even if the Panama treaty should
fail of ratification, it need not occasion
despair. A canal would still be built
perhaps, indeed, it would be built soon
er. How many rronths is it since Con
gress deliberately selected and approved
the Nicaragua route ? How many months
is it since the House of Representatives
passed the Hepburn bill, which provided
for the construction of a canal by 'ho
Nicaragua route alone? Only two votes
were cast against that bill in the whole
House, for the Nicaragua route was at
that time preferrnd by the Isthmian Ca
nal Commission . After this bill reached
the Senate the Franrh
reduced its price to $10,000x00. and

given by an Oregon City young ladv,
which was so well appreciated that she
was forced to respond to an encore. The
