ALBANY REGISTER. I financial AND cohmeiiciai.. Gold tn New York, on Wednesday, quoted at 114. M$al Tenders, 87,'4088C' "Whett In Liverpool-Average, Cali fornia, 1 ; CltA, 1M1 131. 'flie money market in Portland ts reported easier, ami the prospect aliead flattering. The Oriflamme sailed from San Krandco on Wednesday, and Is due in Porttairi to-morrow. Threo new ships are reported en route for Portland by tlie Liverpool Shippmu ami Memintile Ctsrtlf the Norwegian ship Mathiltle. from New port, Wales, which sailed September Mi; the British ship Duncaim. Cham bers, from Newcastle on the Tyne, November 15th. and the American ship George A. Holt, Nortou, from Sunderland, November 27th. The announcement that these vessels were on the way here surprises our expor ter, says the Britain, and they are inenwed to discredit it. Although their arrival Is In the distant future, yet we can but hope that the announce ment that they are on the way may prove beneficial to our producers. Tt Is announced that the Barracoota, now lying at East Portland wharf, awaiting cargo for the United Kingdom Will take about 500 tons of flour on her return trip. As this will be tlie flrst shipment of AW made direct to Liv erpool from Portland, tlie result will be looted for with no little Interest. Tie Portland Britain oi Thursday says that European Arms, in connec tion with well known Chinese capital ists, are negotiating for the purpose of placing a line of steamers, six in num ber, between Portland and China. Kour vessels are already completed, ind two more arc being onstnteted at Hong Kong. It b asserted the Hue will be In running order by tlie 1st of next May. Forelgu trade b one of the needs of the State, and we hope hls new line will become a fixed In stitution, adding rapidly to tlie wealth of our State. iSan Francisco market reports by telegraph are not cheering, ns tJiey snow a decline in the price of wheat -inee our last report: Flour Jtarket quiet at f5 imi 25 lor.exti. .rmw-iw,. ta choice, 1 1 9099 f 100 lbs.

The principal topic among onr farm ers during the week, has been the feasibility of erecting a warehouse and wharf, to be owned and controllal by tlie formers of Linn county, at Astoria. At tlie suggestion of farmers, Mr. Low, one of our most enterprising farmers, some flays sluce, went down to Astor ia, for tlie propose of ascertaining upon what terms a suitable site tor a wardionse could be obtained there. After due consultation with the' own ers of property suitable for the erec tion 'of such contemplated enterprise, lie returns with the report that a water front of over 1,000 feet front,' every way desirable, can be obtained free. The? provision being that the party or parties to whom the deed for tlie said water front Is made, shall erect without delay suitable buildings there on for the reception and storage of grain. This Is a more favorable prop osition than could have been expected, a proposition, too, that may never be made again; and if the farmers of I. inn comity are in earnest In this matter, In this offer tliej can see tlieir opportunity. Tt Is a matter, however, i hat will mt Mfcntt of delay, and if the desired object Is to be secured, no time like the present for suitable action. Writh the erection of a grand wai house and wharf at Astoria, with suit able structures In this city, tlie pro ducers of Linn county have entire con trol of tlieir products. At (he present time it costs 14c for each bushel of wheat shipped from Albany to Port land, and 12c per bushel from Port land to Astoria, a total of 28e ier bushel, which, of course, must be taken into consideration by the buyer when purclKtsing from the producer liere. Of course, too, In handling the grain so often, tliere Is much wastage. If tlie Fanner's Clubs throughout the county, as now proposed, unite and build their own warehouse or ware houses in this city and at Astoria, they can then ship their grain direct from this city to Astoria at a cost of 0c per busliel, if not at a less figure, which will result in a saving to tlie producer, as freights now stand, of 17c per bu.-ltel. On 600,000 bushels of wheat there would be a saving to tlie farmers of Linn county, In the matter of freight, between this city and As toria, the neat little sum of 185,000 per annum or if, as contended by many, Linn county produces 1,000.000 bushels ot surplus wlieat, the saving onnnallv unolil he 1 70.000. Which w olilil urn dr. if not entire I v cover, the entire expense of erecting warehouses, both heie and at Astoria. Space pre cludes further remarks on this subject to-day. Albany markets quiet.

It may lie as well tor our tanners and livery men to post tliemselves In re gard to tlie treatment of tlie disease. In Canada where tlie disease was se vere, tlie following treatment was re sorted to : "With medicine given by advice of a surgeon, the following treatment will. It is said, hardly fail to effect a cure or prevent the progress of the disease, or the taking of it. The horse quite well or slightly affected should not be taken out in wet weath er, and if they have to be so, should be warmly covered. Affected animals should'bc kept in a well veutllated sta ble and ted upon hot, soft food, easily digested, such as linseed tea, oat meal gruel and boiled oats or barley. Tlie appetite of the Invalids should lie tempted by carrots apples, or any other delicacy our sick miadnmed friend is known to have a falling for.
