WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Trad Condition In Ml Lending Cities
of tho World.
Reported by Downing, Hopkins A Co Ine
Board ol Trade Brokers, 711 to 714 Chamber ol
Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.
The statistical news of wheat for the
past week haa been very bearish.
Beerbohm reported the world's ship
nienst at 14,000,000 bushels, of which
North America shipped 5,248,000
busehls. The American supply of vis
ible, wheat increased during the week
1,085,000 bushels, and now totals 23,
687,000 bushels. The Orange Judd
Farmer report for June makes the win
ter wheat acreage 25,651,000 acres,
after allowing for 1,000,000 acres aban
doned in California. The spring wheat
acreage shows a radical increase every
where, the total area reaohing 17,868,
000 acers. The month of May was fav
orable for wheat everywhere except in
California-, and the present condition
of winter wheat is reported at 90.7,
against 87.9 last month and 83.5 last
year. The condition of spring wheat is
practically perfect, with an aveage of
99.1, which is the bighset figure ever
reported on June 1 by any reliable au
thority. The situation in Oregon and
Washington is enough better than last
year to praotically offset the loss in
California. Bearish sentimnet seems
to be gaining both here and abroad.
A private Liverpool cable says: The
trade is bearish and lower prices must
follow. Upward manipulation is out
of the question, with world's ship
ments so large and Amerioan prospect
is flattering." Minneapolis reported
no buyers of cash wheat in that mar
ket today. About the only strong fac
tor has been the New York maiket,
where foreigners are asid to have
bought large quantities for September
and later deliveries. That market has
been well sustained, and the foreign
support thus given encouraged a belief
that prices may do better here, at least
temporarily.

TRIP OF THE OREGON.
RECORD-BREAKING CRUISE OF
THE PACIFIC-BORN WARSHIP.
Journey Equal to Mora than Half tha
Distance Around the Earth -Beoet
by Grave Danger, bat Wae Always
Heady for Trouble.
Tint to Sound the Horn.
When the Oregon started on her un
paralleled cruise of 13,000 miles and
steamed through the Golden Gate, fir
ing her salute of good-by to the flag
that floats over the Presidio on March
19, Capt Charles E. Clark and his crew
were as much In Ignorance of her ulti
mate destination as the rest of the
world. Captain Clark was told to make
Callao his first stopping place. The
big vessel with Its trentendous load of
guns and protecting turrets, ran Into
a heavy sea before It had got out of
sight of California's promontories.
The captain's orders did not provide
for a return. The ship's prow had
been headed for the coast of Peru and
the course was never changed In spite
of protracted bad weather. While
many tons of steel were pouuding on
the Pacific the men who direct the
game of war and use the warships as
bo many pieces at chess were debating
what disposition should be made of the
redoubtable floating battery. To
"Fighting Bob" Evans was left the dis
position of the big ship. "Dewey, with
the Olympia, can lick the entire Span
ish Asiatic squadron," was Evans' esti
mate, and the destination of the Ore
gon was settled.
Great anxiety was felt for the "pride
of the navy" when April 1 came and
she had not been sighted off the coast
of Pern, as expected, but on April 8 the
bold lines of the battleship were de
scribed off Callao. She had fought a
long battle with the elements, but had
come out victorious without a mark.
The Oregon coaled at Callao and there
Captain Clark received a sealed packet
containing his orders. When the ship
had headed about and steered Into the
open sea, Captain Clark communicated
the story of the Maine's report and its
reception by the American people to
his men, In addition to the route of
their excursion around Cape Horn.
Officers and crew exercised the great
est precaution when war with Spain
promised to become the sequel to the
Maine disaster. The ship was given a
coat of iron gray and her searchlight
swept the horizon for hostile sails. The
progress of the vessel southward after
leaving Callao was attended by great
danger owing to storms, and for that
reason the Oregon coaled in the Straits
of Magellan Instead of attempting to
enter the harbor of Valparaiso. When
the Joint resolution of Congress de
clared the Cuban people should be free
and that Spanish sovereignty was at
an end on the Western continent, Cap
tain Clark was only twenty-four hours
behind schedule time. The Oregon was
the first warship in history to round
that storm-swept point
On the Lookout for Tronble.
Captain Clark was warned by cable
of the dangers that lay in his path and
answered that he was ready to engage
the entire Spanish fleet If his superiors
so desired. A brief summary of the

Joint resolutions were sent him for the
entertainment of his men, together
with a "tip" that a declaration of war
and actual hostilities would be forth
coming. When the Oregon turned Into
the Atlantic Ocean she was Joined by
the gunboat Marietta, which had left
San Diego several days after the Ore
gon. Together they steamed north
ward. Captain Clark and the com
mander of the Marietta learned of the
events that had transpired while they
were speeding from the Straits of Ma
gellan. War had been declared April
25, and the crews of both boats set up
a mighty cheer when they received the
news of the capture of Spanish vessels
off the coast of Cuba.
Spain's crack torpedo boat the Tem
erario, made a bluff at the Oregon, but
Immediately slunk away Into tka Bar
of Montevideo and hid behind a penin
sular when she got within observation
distance of Uncle Sam's mighty sea
fighter. The least Inclination of the
Temerario to disrespect the friendly
character of the harbor would have
resulted In the sinking of the Spaniard
under five tons of steel projectiles into
the waters of the bay. Two days after
THE BATTLESHIP OREGOX.
the American vessels arrived at Rio dc
Janeiro the Temararlo arrived. Bra
zilian 'officials, however, were active
and said they would prevent any clash
between the representatives of the two
governments. News of the magnifi
cent victory of Dewey's fleet reached
the Americans In Rio de Janeiro. With
in the harbor of Brazil's capital the Or
egon and Marietta were Joined by the
dynamite cruiser Buffalo, recently pur
chased from that government
Orders came from the Navy Depart
ment to proceed, and the fleet of three
vessels steamed out of the harbor of
Rio de Janeiro May 4. They were in
structed to stop at every cable port en
route and receive Instructions,
Oregon Built In the West
All the material for the construction
and armament of the Oregon came
from the far Western States. The Iron
mines of California, Oregon, Washing
ton, Nevada, Colorado, and New Mex
ico supplied the crude metal which was
afterward converted into steel for the
hull, great strips of armor and ponder
ous castings for the guns. The big bat
tleship was built by the Union Iron
Works, San Francisco. On her trial
trip an average of 16.70 knots was
maintained and 11,111 horsepower was
developed, 2,111 In excess of the con
tract. In size the Oregon is only surpassed
by one ship In the navy the Iowa.
The displacement of the Paclflc-born
monster Is 10,288 tons. The excess
weight of the Iowa comes from her
high decks, which are supposed to
make her more seaworthy. When the
Oregon was constructed she was In
tended for coast service, her designers
never thinking of a record-breaking
cruise equal to more than half the dis
tance around the earth's surface. The
Oregon Is supplied with bunkers that
give her a coal capacity of 1,504 tons.
This enables her to steam 4,600 miles
without recoallng. The Oregon's com
plement of men numbers 473. Her
armor Is divided as follows: Belt, 18
Inches; deck, 2 Inches; barbettes, 17
inches; turrets, 15 Inches; casements,
i
6 Inches. The main battery of the Ore
gon consists of four 13-Inch, eight 8
Inch and four slow-fire 0-inch guns.
This outfit Is not surpassed by any bat
tleship in the world. The supplement
ary rapid-fire battery consists of twen
ty 0-pouhders, six l-pounders, four
Gatllngs, two field guns and three tor
pedo tubes.
Ancient Methods of Signaling.
The fabulous honor of being the first
Inventor of the art of signaling Is be
stowed by certain classical writers up
on the ingenious Palamedes. This hero
may have Introduced Improvements lu
detail, but It Is certain that long be
fore the time of the Trojan war the
Egyptians and Assyrians, if not the
Chinese and other nations of remote
antiquity of whom monumensll rec-
....
ords alone remain to us had developed
regular methods of signaling by fire,
smoke, flags, etc.
The great wall, built by the Chinese
ages ago, and 1,500 tulles long. Is stud
ded with towers. Between these sig
nals wore Interchanged when troops
had to be collected lu order to resist at
tack at any point threatened by the
Tartars or "outer barbarians." By
MaJ. Boucheraeder and others It has
been considered that the huge tower of
Babel was erected for similar as well
as for a number of different purposes.
That Is to say, for the signaling not
necessarily of any particular words or
sentences, but of expected events, Im
perial decrees, military orders and oth
er matters Intended to be understood
through conventional signals, whether
of lights, flags, semaphores or other de
vices, by all the motley host of nation
alities and languages of which the
Chaldean empire was composed. Corn

This Country's Marvelous Wealth.
The Government returns of the grain
crop of 1807 are now complete. They
make almost a startling showing of the
wealth of the country In soil produc
tion. Of corn we produced 1,002,007,033
bushels, for which the farmers receiv
edfor farm prices ouly are considered
no less than $501,072,052, or about
one-half the entire national debt.
Of wheat we produced 530,149,108
bushels, which poured into the laps of
the farmers the sum of $428,547,121.
Of oats we produced 008,707,809
bushels, yielding $147,074,710.
Thus on three grain crops alone our
tillers of the soli earned $1,077,504,702.
This does not Include barley, hay,
beef, mutton, wool, pork, eggs, chick
ens, garden vegetables, fruits, butter,
milk, or any other of a hundred farm
products that together greatly exceed
these three recorded crops In value. It
docs not Include the 7,000,000 bales of
cotton, or the rice, or the tobacco, or
anything else than three grain prod
ucts. What a country ours Is, to be sure,
when one year's Crops yield to the cul
tivators six or seven times our whole
national debt! What limit shall be set

marvelously fruitful? New York

Extracting Copper.
The interesting "wet process" of ex
tracting copper from pyrites, in use
near Antwerp, Is described in a paper
read before the Association of Grad
uates of the Uhmit Technical Rohool
by L. Breda. Prom this it appears
that the ore, containing from three to
four per emit of copper, Is roasted,
crushed and roasted with salt. The
chlorinated ore In quantities of twonty
live tons is twice washed with some
6110 gallons of water, then with the
waste liquor from the precipitating
tanks.then with dilute warm sulphuric
acid, and flnully with warm water.
The washed ore at last contains only
0.J per cent of copper. The liquor is
run into tanks, and the copper is pre
cipitated by scrap Iron. The some
what remarkable statement is mails
that by this moans the amount
of copper left in the wasto liquor
docs not exceed 1.4 gram per gallon.
Exportation of Lumber.
The exports of lumber fiom this

ports from this country wits 33,000,
000, while last year there was an In
crease of more than 20 per cent, the
total being upward of 1 10,000,000
worth of lumber. In 1805 the value
was about $!)0,000,000, and for sovorul
years proviotis to that year the v;tlnu
was about tho same. In 1800 It was

THE EXCELLENCE Of SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fio Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fio Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fio Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get Its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company
