HOPS' AND WOOL. f Astoria k Columbia RiYer Railroad Co Old potatoes selling at $1.35 per hun dred pounds in the Portland wholesale market. This brfef announcement, could It have been made about to months ago for this time, vould have gladdened the heart of many a potato dealer and grower who was holding out hope against hope that prices would not go to the low level they did several years ago. . Old potatoes are in demand ' even more so than the new stocks. Supplies, olthough not cleaned np alto gether, are still short of the demand and present prospects are that $1.50 or even a higher figure will be reached be fore the season comes to a close. The 1903-4 season for potatoes has been a rather complicated one, inasmuch as prices have flunctuated so much that even the wisest of the dealers could not foretell what would be the outcome of the season. The season opened with prices rangiDg between 40c and 50c lor good stock. Then the market remained dull and quiet for some time. After several months there was a noticable in crease in the demand and prices began to boom. Then for each alternate week prices went up and then - down this condition continuing for several months, when the market slumped. It after wards partially recovered and then be came weak again. Just now there is every evidence that it will reach the top figures 01 the season, in new potatoes there ii still a scarcity of good matured stock and prices are clinging very tight to the zc mark. The same thing is ap parent in regard to new onions. CHERRY SEASON AT ITS HEIGHT. The cherry Beason is now at its height and receipts are beginning to show a de crease. There is a very heavy demand for Bings and Lamberts. Prices are holding at old figures. Peaches came in larger supply from Ashland today as well as from The Dalles and prices are lower. Sugar pears are coming in larg er supplies from local points ana find a fair demand. HOGS ARB QUOTED FIRMER. There is a decided scarcity of veal and hogs in the market at present the tor mer being nearly entirely out 01 both the live and dressed markets. . Pi ices are a trifle higher. Fancy veal is being eagerly sought after, al' arrivaU being cleaned up as soon as unloaded.

Veal The following from The Oreoonlan should be read by every one w,ho is in terested in good Kovernment: LINCOLN, .Neb.,' July 12. W. J. Bryan today gave out the following statement: " "1 shall vote for Parker and Davis, the nominees of the Democratic National Con vention, and shaJ do so foi the following reasons: "First Because the Democratic ticket stands for opposition to imperialism, while the Republican ticket stands for an im perialistic policy. On this question, which was the paramount issue in iqOO, and which must remain an important Is sue so lone as an attempt is made to hold colonies under tho American flag on this issue the convention was unanimous, the platform emphatic, and 1 have no doubt that the candidate will carry Out the plat form. Second Mr. Roosevelt is injecting the ra e issue into American politics, and this issue, if it becomes National, will make it impossible to consider questions that de mand solut on. The election of the Dem ocratic ticket will put a quietus on this subject. "Third Mr. Roosevelt stands for the spirit of war. His friends present him as a man of blood and iron. He believes In strenuousness and inculcates a love for warlike things. The Democratic ticket stands for peace, for reason, and for arbi tration, rather than for force, conquest and bluster. Fourth The. democratic platform de clares in favor ot the reduction of the standing army, and as this plank unani. mously adopted, there is reason to be lieve a Democratic statement on this sub ject would bring ome advantage to the people. For these reasons, 1 feel justified in supporting the ticket. PARKER ON SIDE OF WALL STREET. "A Democratic victory will mean very little, if any, progress on economic ques tions so long as the party Is under the control of Wall-street element On the money question Mr, Parker is as thor ouehlv committed to the side of the finaiv ciers as Mr. Roosevelt. If he does not go as far as the Republicans would in retiring silver dollars, in establishing branch banks, and n the substitution ot an asset cur rency for the present currency, It will be because he is restrained by the Democrats in the House and Senate. Nothing great er can be expected from him on the money question. 'On tne trust question tne Democratic platform Is very much better than the Republican platform, but the nomination of Judge Parker virtually nullifies one anti-trust plank - Unless In .his letter of acceptance he commiiS' himself tjanti trust legislation we need not expect him to pursue a dinerent course rrorrt mat pur pued by President Roosevelt "So far as the labor questions are con cerned, we must await Judge Parker's let ter before we shall know whether the la boring man has anything to expect from his election. 1 he labor plank as pre pared bv Judge Parker's friends on the subcommittee was a straddling meaning less plank. In the full committee planks were adopted In favor of arbitration and the eight-hour day and against governern ment by injunction; also a plank on the Colorado situation. If Judge Parker is si lent or ambiguous on these subjects, it will mean that the men back of him will not permit him to take the labor side on these disputed questions. "On the tariff question some little prog ress may be hoped for. But the Parker men on the committee were nearly all in favor of a very conservative plank, and it remains to be seen whether Judge Parker will carry out the definite plank which was substituted by the full committee. WON BY CROOKED METHODS. After describing the manner of Judge Parker's nomination, which he maintains was secured by "crooked and indelensiDie methods," Mr. Bryan concludes: . "After having stated that I shall sup port the ticket, and after having given my reasons tor so doing, 1 inniK 11 uue to me Nation to say that, while the fmht on eco nomic questions is postponed, it is not abandoned. As soon as the election is over. 1 shall with the help of those who believe as 1 do, undertake to organize De fore the cam pal en of 1008. the object be Inz to marshal the friends ot popular gov ernment within the Democratic party to to the support of a radical and progressive policy to make the democratic partythe efficient means In the hands of the pelopn for securing relief from the element at a controls the Republican party, and for the time being is In control of the Democratic party. This plan of organization will be elaborated soon." Democratic National Platform. discrimination by the transportation companies, as the most potent agenc7 is. promoting and strengthening these un lawful conspiracies against trade. W demand an enlargement of the powerB of the Interstate Oommerce Commibsiou. to the end that the traveling public and shippers of this country my have prompt and adequate relief for the abuses te wtrch they are subject in the matter df transportation. We demand a strict observance of civil and criminal statutes against all sock truste, combinations and monopolies, and we demand the enactment of such further legislation as may be necessary effectually to suppress them. Any trnst or unlawful combination en gaged in interstate commerce, which vt monopolizing any branch of business of production, should not be permitted to transact business outside of the slate of its origin. Whenever it shall be estab lished in any court of competent juris diction that such monopolization exists, prohibition should bu enforced throweh comprehensive laws to be enacted on the subject. OTHER DECLARATIONS. The speedy, honest and economic construction of the Panama canal is urged ; the protection of American citi zens in all countries ia insisted upon; election of United States Senators by a direct vote of the people is favored. Other plankB favor the immediate ad mission of the territories as states de nounce the ahip subsidy bill ; demand the extirmination of polygamy ; favor , liberal trade arrangements with Canada and other countries. The Monroe Dec-' tine, Civil Service Reform and reduction of the Army and Navy expenditures are etch favored. Other planks deal with . the subjects of pensions and the' school and race question. The Republican ad ministration is denounced in the follow-, ing terms: The existing Republican Administra- .' tion has been spasmodic, Bpectacular and arbitrary. It has made itself a satire upon the Copgress, the courts and upon, the Bettled practices and usages of National and international law. It sum moned the Congress into hasty and fu tile extra sesnon and virtually adjonrned it, leaving behind its flight from Wash ington uncalled calendars and unaccom plished tasks, It made wsr, which is the sole power of Congress, without its authority, there by usurping its fundamental preroga tives. It violated a statute of the United States, as well as plain treaty obligations, international UBages and constitutional law; and has done so under pretense of executing a great public policy which could have been more easily effected lawfully, constitu tionally and with honor. It forced strained and unnatural con structions upon statutes, usurping ju dicial interpretation and substituting Congressional enactments. It withdrew from Congress Its custo mary duty ol investigation, which have heretofore made the representatives of the people and Btates the terror of evil doers. If conducted a secretive investi gation of its own, and boasted of a few sample convicts, while it threw a broad coverlet over the bureaus . which had been their - chosen field of operative abusf s, and kept In power the superior officers under whose admiristration the crimes had been committed. It ordered assault upon some monopo lies, but, paralyzed by its first victory, it flung out the flag of truce and declar ed it would not ''run amuck," leaving its future purposes beclouded by its vacillations.
