A commission man said to-day that American grower have planted an extremely large crop, which under (he influence of high prices for th past two years and the harvest of 18S4, would under ordinary - circumstances be so great as to depress price to very likely an unprofitable figure, say below fifteen cents per pound. As fortune wouid have it for the American grower the Huglish crop has suffered badly from rust and insects. The latest nows from England is to the effect lhat the crop will be a failure. Inasmuch s the English brewers are large buyers here, under ordinary circumstances their demands will naturally be greatly iucroased. In fact the export dumauil is slready much larger than it has been, and the advance from 25 to 35 couts per pound in the past few day is due to that cause. How high the quotation will be forced is a quostiou which dealers would gladly have announced. Meantime they are buying in a band-to-mouth way. The German crop is reported in a good con dition,' and the American, as has been said, will be aa unusually good ono, to that such extreme prices as prevailed iu 1882 are not likely to be matched. There is said to be a'jout 10,000 bales in California outside of bi ewers hands, which is comparatively small stock at this season. Sale have been made thi week at 37 and 33 cent per pouud, and 40 cent it asked by grower. Many of the smaller growers who long since told their production at a fair profit, doubt lest wish they hada't. The advauce may not be maintained, but up to this time it i considered as wholly legitimate, as there has been no speculative buying. The probabili ty is that price will be maintained, at least until the effect of the September harvest is felt. The Webfoot Claim. The work in the Webfoot claim iu Dream gulch i progressing smoothly. Twenty men sre at work 15 by day and 5 at night. The day shift is engaged in cleaning bedrock and piping. There are fourteen boxes running day and night, and 14 feet of bedrock is cleaned every day up creek.

The ground will be drifted and hoisted with a wind lass and finally run through the sluices at the surface. A good head of water is running in Dream gulch and the hydraulic is doing its work well.

Shelly, dep.irted this lifj at the family residence in this city on Saturday, July 5, 1SS4, at 1:30 o'clock p. m., aged, 31 years, 10 months and 17 duys. The dath was very sud den, the day before she being in her usual health, having attended and enjoyed the festiv ities of the Fourth, in fact, she was ill only a few minutes previous to her demise, Tho cause ef her death is supposed to have been hcartdis ease. The funeral took place from thefamily res idence, Monday, at 2 p. in. to the Odd Fellows cemetery. Rev Win G. Simpson made some very pathetic remarks at the residence and al so at the grave extolling the virtues of the de ceased. The funeral procession was the largest that ever passed out of our city, showing the warm affection held for her by our people. We extend the sympathy of our people to the mourning husband, motherless children, and the parents and brothers and sisters of the de parted. The deceased was beloved by all who had the pleasure ot her acquaintance. She is gone, but not forgotten. Visiting the State. We were favored with ..... . r c, 1 , - , a call tins week" iroin a ait aieuuen hi unicagn who visits Oregon to inspect her fruit indus tries and to engage in the raising and canning of fruits. Mr Sledden has been for many years engaged as a wholesale importer of fruits in Chicago having made fourteen trip to Euro pean countries iu connection with the fruit in terests and imported very largely. Upon ex amining time of the prunes dried at the fruit drier of Mr Win Abrams in this place he pro nounced the Italian prunes to be exceptionally fine in quality; he also says that nowhere has he ever seen such cherries as he has here. It would be a great acquisition to our place should a man with so rie an experience settle down smong us. From the number of persons from the East who have been and still are vis iting us to investigate this interest it ought to become very plain to all that sooner or later the fruit industry will be one of the leading in terests of our county. In conversation with the writer Mr. Sledden spoke of Oregon M be ing superior to California in the quality of prunes produced as they have a finer flavor. Another Bridge.

KiruENi City, July 8, 1884. Mr Dear Floiiknck; You re.nenibor when I left damp, foggy old 'Fritoo, that I laid I would writ to you giving you information regarding anything of moment that might occur in thi region of maple, mush and matrimauia. Bob says that moment although it it the second time the word it mentioned hat now ar rived, like the big hand on a dial, with mo-, mentnu strides: ssy he to ine says he, now Juliana dear, as he flourished hi dex ter pinion, implying thereby a quotation, "now is th winter of our discontent trans mogrified into a perennial sunshine" when, drat it, just at that interesting spasm of eloquence, in (ail dear old ma, her yellow bandana and vermilion ribbons looking im posingly queen-like, shrieking at tSa top most pinnacle of her cyclonio voice: "Lank a mercy on us, have you hoord the new my dean! Well if that dear delightful Mr Coal ain't a comin to Eugene City with hit elephants, which my dear I heart as how he hot one a little larger than a masterdun, (but why thoy should call him mnster-dun I don't know, nnlost on account of his color and his being the largest,) and fn'antiful monkeys with their amusing practices that we ladies like so much to watch." Horn, my dear Florence, I tamed np my already slightly elevated nose-tip and gave my tupid old nratcrnaf ancestor a look of with ering scorn, for I had already seeu .monkey in Woodward' Garden and at the North Beach, which, causing her to feel alarmed, he continued with great intent: "He member my dear their Calistogas" when seeing on what her niiud was drifting, I re plied: "Oh, yes, mother dear, their well hung trunks it graceful," whereupon she became meditative. When it became certain that the circus wot really to come and that they were to "procesh" through the principal thorough fares of the city, the Fathers thereof com menced to meud their wayt, for the ttreott were cleaned up and swept and the dried np mud made spick and span: Meanwhile the entire country was coming in in all kinds of vehicles drawn by all manner of quadrupeds, some with beautiful points you might hang your Kate Caatlcton upon any one of them while the colors of the fair sex vied with the pritmatio shades of an infuriated rain bow. Oh, Florence, I do wish I had the pen of one of the historians here to do justice to some of the costumes. One I taw, and the wat crowned with a jelly-cako with a peak to it, at the tide wat a pair of tpurt and a bit, while her polonaise wat of gingham and hertkirt of piuk velvet: Another wat dressed in virgin white as becoming her innocence, as she gazed through adark green pairof goggles at tho men. The length of their dresses were unique that it behind; in front they were fashioued much after the style of a Free Mason's apron. Green, blue, orange, red, indigo and white were tho prevailing tints, but there wot one dress of pearl gray with a fringod scarf of the tame material, worn by a pretty girl whose name I know, that was very becoming. Poor Bob; I think he's gone in tint quarter but I won't divulge his secret yet awhile, but I learn she was the Belle of the ball. It was truly a grand sight to see these usually deserted streets thronged with light- seort from , Siuslaw, Long Tom, Cottage Grove and Irving. It was pleasant to watch the delight of the oldsters, who had come like Nicodemus, to bo born again. Didn't they laugh; not quiet little chirps of ap proval but groat loud guffaws half shriek half war-whonps of satisfaction. The more simple the cause the greater the amusement, and the greater the fun the more healthy the yell. Of the show itself dear Flo, I need not speak; you who nave seen so many know too well what they are. The trapeze make me nervous, and the jokes weary one, while the animals are to say the least unsavory. The only good thing that hap pened was to see Bob, ha't asleep, slip through between two of the teat and get extricated from hit parlous position by two kind-hearted dames of a certain age and un certain ponderosity. You cau guess my feelings, dearest, when all eyes were turned on me as if I had just performed the gymnastic trick. I saw a horrid man hold up a news paper before bis eyes, the wretch. The Smiths, Browns, Jonet and Robinsons were all there and looked to nioe.each armed with a beau and a fan, the latter I tuppnte to tap the former into the recollection that ha too was a portion of a menagerie and should be all ears. I was glad whon it was over and so wat Bob, for he had to go and see a man at the office of Mr Bohhayes. where, he told me afterwards, a good deal of business was done. The next day wo the gloriou Fourth, and manyof those who had oome from too great a distance to return al frescoed it in the many unoccupied lots of which the city boasts. I was nu betimes, and as I attired myself in my bright blue barege with my chip hat and swooping ostrich plume, I became conscious of my beauty and determined that to-day I should cause many a heavy heart. My first victim I intended should tie a tall gentleman ef a military mien, who I am told has taken onto- himself the motto "veni, vidi, vici," which Bob say mean something shout being a terrible fellow among the girl. Later in the day, however, I failed to recog nize him for he had assumed a disguise of patriotic fervor and sought solitude, I was told. The sights and scenes of that day will ever remain impressed upou my bosom. One I can nover forget. I happened to go into one of the drug stores for a bottle of creme-de-lis, and in the back yard promi nently placed was a sofa on which iu bliss ful ignorance lay a country Strephnn closely hugging his lovely Chios both everlastingly lockedin poetical bonds of somnolence. A good ly crowd of amused spectators had gathered round listening to their stertorous breath ings; directly one intelligent youth suggested a photographer, but such an artist was like the proverbial policeman, nowhere to be found. There thi Dsrby and Joan might have lain till now, had not tome ruth less maidens dispelled their slumbers with some cold water throwo from an upper story window. The fireworks in the evening wer a suo cess, but why in all the world they did not have them on the Butt instead of among the trees, I don't know. This over we went to the ball at Rhinehart's Hall, (poetic isn't it,) and kept it np till daylight did appear. On the way home Bob was morose; I, dear Flo, was thoughtful oh, that dear Jittle musician with the black moustache! Good bye just now; write soon you darling to Yonr dearest friend, JdlANA ClTiCI.Ei.
