THE BUSINESS WORLD
GREEN PRODUCE "WAS IN GOOD DE

The Wheat Trade Reports By Tele
graph General Produce end
Financial Advices.
Produce men had a good day yesterday. The
steamer brought up a plentiful supply of Cali
fornia vegetables, and the best of it cleaned up
promptly. Prices for several descriptions are
lower, and will continue to decline as the sea
son advances. There were but few changes In
country produce, as receipts were light. Gro
ceries and provisions were as formerly quoted.
Among: today's receipts will be a car of New
Orleans bananas.
The Prune Market.
Fruitgrowers who have held their dried prunes
In expectation of getting more than the very
liberal price paid some time ago. are disap
pointed, for the price has declined. Instead of
advancing. Shippers are now paying about 4c
for prunes, which a month or two ago would
have brought 7c or 7c It is fortunate that
most of the growers disposed of their crops In
the right time, and only a few prunes are left.
Just what has caused the decline in price is not
known, but one dealer attributed it to California
growers forcing their Inferior fruit on the mar
ket at low rates, in order to keep in the trade.
Farmers generally have learned that when their
produce is bringing a good price. It is a good
time to sell.

THE GRAIN MARKETS.
Prices Paid for "Wheat at Home and
Abroad.
Local wheat business was slow yesterday,
with no perceptible change in the tone of the
market. Good "Walla Walla wheat for export
was worth lie per bushel, and Valley wheat was
quoted from 75g776c per cental.
At Chicago.
CHICAGO, Feb. 26. Wheat moved skyward
today, the greatest momentum being attained
during the last hour, after the crowd had about
given up hope of particularly Important good
resulting from Bradstrect's report of 4,473,000
bushels decrease In the world's available stocks.
"When a number of them had sold out their
wheat in disgust, the news of a bullish kind
overbalanced the bearish very materially, but,
despite extraordinary efforts on the part of buy
ers, the market failed to advance with anything
like celerity during the morning. The first an
nouncement of an encouraging color was the
corection of the English visible supply state
ment to show a decrease of 300,000 bushels, in
stead of an increase of 030,000, as given out
yesterday. Then the Liverpool cables came In
with a slight advance, followed by the report
of Baltic and Indian shipments of 1,752.000
bushels, which, added to the 1.800,000 bushels
cleared from America last week, made up only
one-half the amount supposed to be required
by Importing countries. Liberal sales of cash
wheat at Minneapolis were heard of. which
helped along the buying inclinations here. The
Northwestern receipts were large, at C15 cars,
and Chicago had 31. "Withdrawals from store
were 18,101 bushels, and S0.1S4 were shipped
from Atlantic ports. Continental quotations
were unchanged. May wheat opened at 530 :
sold between 53 and 54c. closing at 54&
04',1c, ll&c higher than yesterday. Sales
cf cash wheat ranged from Jc to -c
higher than yesterday's close. The nom
inal closing was lc higher. Receipts at prin
cipal Western points were 275,1)12 bushels; ship
ments. 00,183; receipts at Eastern points, 52,
345, shipments, 81), 70S bushels.
Corn lacked much of the strength that per
vaded the market yesterday, although the pro
nounced strength of wheat succeeded In pre
venting prices from going lower.
Oats at no time displayed activity, and were
frequently at a complete standstill.
The strength and improvement in grain did
not receive approbation by the produce market,
the free and general selling of packers holding
values down. A firm hog markt at the yards
was also powerless as an Influence.

kets to cotton dress fabrics, for which a fair
supplementary demand has been experienced.
Outside of New York there has been more busi
ness doing also by traveling salesmen and by
out-of-town Jobbing houses, the late Improve
ment in the weather releasing adcmand checked
during the greater part of the month. Business
has not yet been entirely relieved from weather
drawbacks, however, the South appearing to be
more affected in this respect than other sections
of the country, and merchandise more particu
larly adapjd for that trade ruling slow" In coni
sequence. In fancy cottons there has been noth
ing to note In the way of price changes, the
market ruling fairly steady. Staple cottons can
hardly be reported In like condition. Cutting
of prices by Jobbers has been a noticeable feat
ure In both brown and bleached cottons, help
ing to keep the market in an unsettled condi
tion. The fact that there are a number of lead
ing makes of staple cottons well sold ahead,
and of themselves In a position to remain per
fectly steady, at least weighs less with buyers
than these visible disturbances, and they are
consequently indisposed to forsake their policy
of extreme caution. In some quarters there is
a feeling that the Jobbers' actions here referred
to may be the forerunner of better conditions
by clearing the market of Its weakest factors,
and opinions are held and expressed In respect
able quarters that a material change for the
better will be noticeable within the next CO days.

THE ATHLETES "WIN THE BOWLING
TOURNAMENT.
Arlington Defeated by a. Score of 73
The Totals and Finals A
Close Game.
The final eight games of the Arlington
Multnomah bowling tournament were
bowled on the Arlington alleys last even
ing, and the Multnomahs were declared
champions by a narrow margin of 73
points to their credit It was by all odds
the most enthusiastic meeting of the
tournament, and the crowd that wit
nessed the play was the largest. The Ar
llngtons bowled by far the better game,
and it was only the Multnomahs 110
points holdover from the last evening's
play that saved them from defeat. Their
victory was none the less appreciated,
however, for it would have been impossi
ble for them to have celebrated it more
enthusiastically, at least so far as out
ward appearances were concerned.
The throng that crowded and pushed
around the bowlers was made up of a
about equal numbers of Multnomah and
Arlington admirers, and the opposing fac
tions seemed bent upon testing each
other's lung power. Every time a Mult
nomah yell was heard, an attempt was
made to drown Jt out by the Arlingtons,
and so it was when the latter took the
Initiative. Players were taunted and
"Joshed" on one hand and encouraged
and praised on the other. But it was a
jolly crowd, and even in the most trying
moments the best of good feeling pre
vailed. The Arlingtons took their defeat
gracefully, promising a different outcome
at the next meeting.
In the opening game of the evening the
Arlingtons scored a lead of 50 points, and
things did not loom up so cheerfully for
Multnomah followers. But in the very
next game the athletes regained 40 points.
After that the bowling became steadier,
and no more excessive gains were made.
The Multnomahs only succeeded in win
ning one more game, by the narrow mar
gin of 13 points, but they held their op
ponents down, and that was all they
could ask. As the tournament drew
toward jts close, and the Multnomahs
still retained a big lead, their spirits and
those of their followers arose according
ly, and they cheered and fairly screamed
with delight until they could cheer and
scream no more, and it was a husky
cheer that echoed the announcement of
the final score.
The total score for the evening was:
Multnomah, 1651; Arlington, 16SS giving
the Arlingtons a gain of 37 points on the
nights play. As the Multnomahs had a
lead of 110 points previously, it left them
victors by just 73 points. The total score
for the tournament was: Multnomah,
6S20; Arlington, 6377. In the tournament
of 1S94 the Arlingtons won by 92 points,
but the total scores were not nearly so
high. Following is the score for last
evening's play: .

OARSMEN WIDE AWAKE.
Enthusiastic Meeting of the Willnni
etto Rowing Club.
There was a large attendance at a spe
cial meeting of the Willamette Rowing
Club last evening, and plans for the com
ing season were discussed with enthusi
asm. President Milner was in the chair.
The club has plenty of good material for
senior and junior four-oar crews, and the
sentiment expressed last evening was in
favor of getting the men down to work
at the earliest possible moment.
A letter was read from Quackenbush,
the famous single skuller, who is now at
Whatqom, Wash., requesting that the
shell be sent to him at an early date. Ha
says that he has kept himself in excellent
trim all winter, and is now ready to get
at the oars again. He desires to row
under Willamette colors again, and thinks
he can make a better showing than he
did at the Seattle regatta last summer.
The shell will be forwarded to Mr. Quack
enbush in charge oLihe delegates who at
tend the annual meeting of the associa
tion, at Victoria, next month. Messrs.
Braden, Mendenhall, Robb, Davies and
Eubanks were appointed a committee on
nomination, with instructions to select
from the club's roster the names of 15
members in good standing, from whom the
board of directors will be elected at the
annual meeting of the club, next Wednes
day. At the annual meeting a captain and
lieutenants will be elected for the ap
proaching season, and delegates will be
named to look after the club's interests
in the association.
The club has a large number of active
members, and all are enthusiastically in
favor of making the season of 1SS5 one
long to be remembered.
Dissatisfied "With the Decision.
LONDON, Feb. 25. The Pall Mall Ga
zette says the decision of the New York
Yacht Club in regard to measurements of
yachts competing for the America's cup
and the size of their crews is likely to
cause Englishmen to regret it. It declares
a crew of 60 men wholly needless.
MAHER WAS MERC1FCL.
"Would Not Knock: Out nail When It
"Was in His Power.
PITTSBURG, Pa.. Feb. 26. Michael
Connelly, who witnessed the Maher-Hall
contests in Boston last Friday, returned
home to Pittsburg yesterday. Speaking
of the affair, he said:
"Maher went Into the contest fully de
termined to put Hall out If it lay in his
power. During the first three rounds, he
tried with Hall. In the third round he
sent Hall down with a right-hander, from
the effects of which Hall remained pros
trate for nine seconds. Hall then rose in
a helpless condition, and as Maher drew
back to give him the finishing blow, Hall
cried, 'For God's sake, Peter, don't hit me
and put me out of the business.' This ap
peal had Its effect on Maher, and, instead
of embracing the opportunity to end the
pugilistic career of the Australian, he
withheld the blow that would have fin
ished him. Maher told me that he realized
the mistake he had made, but the oppor
tunity had gone, and he felt that it would
be mean not to respect Hall's request. He
only dallied with him to the end of the
bout. Maher admitted that the Australian
would have been easy to dispose of at any
time."
Connelly is Maher's backer;
Talks as Mncb. as His Manager.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., Feb. 26. Cham
pion James Corbett, in an interview to
day, said his manager William A. Brady,
was talking too much.
"I see," he continued, "that he allows I
can down Fitzslmmons in three rounds.
Now, to be candid, I do not believe I can
do that. I may defeat him in 20 rounds or
less, but I don't want to be quoted as say
ing I can knock him out in three. Fitz
slmmons has not put up his deposit of
$2500, but he says that makes no differ
ence. I say it does. I want Fitzslmmons
to put every dollar up that he agreed to."
Kllrnln "Will Meet O'Donnell.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 26. The fight be

A HiKh-Priced Colt.
LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 26. George W.
Lovitt, of Boston, succeeded yesterday In
securing the 3-year-old trotting colt Lora
ble, by Jay Bird, from Kate. The largest

The price is private. Lorabie was owned

tered in nearly $50,000 worth of stakes this

LANCASTER, Pa., Feb. 26. Miss Hetty
Parker yesterday received the congratu
lations of her friends on the occasion of
her 90th birthday. She was housekeeper
for President Buchanan during his admin
istration, and after his retirement to

A few months ago she had a severe fall,

accident would result fatally. She recov
ered, however, and is in excellent health.
Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston, niece of
President Buchanan, and mistress of the
White House during his term, was among
Miss Parker's recent guests."
