PROFESSIONAL C ARDS. OFFICIAL DIRECTORY. Furniture Ware - Room, i Cor. California A Oregon Sts., NV hen at Portland on Tuesday we took considerable pains to enquire con­ cerning the wool market. We were informed that one buyer offers to con­ tract for 30,000 pounds, and from that quantity up to all the wool raised in the Willamette and Umpqua valleys, to pay therefor 2!» cents per pound de­ livered in Portland, and intimates that he might do even better. Par­ ties in the interest of the wool produc­ ers would not entertain any proposition for less than 30 cents per pound, and expected the offer would increase to that price. A gentleman down from the Palouse country, was in Portland with his wool clip of 2,000 pounds, and was offered 26} cents, but held for 27 cents, which he probably received. Wool from east of the mountains does not bring as much as that of the Willamette. While in Portland we visited the Oregon Wool Grading and Packing House, situated near the Clarendon Hotel, which is large and roomy and has ample accommodation and facili­ ties for the business. Mr. Seymour, agent for the company, was receiving and grading some lots, but the busi­ ness does not equal expectations.— Here is an important branch of busi­ ness, commenced by men of enterprise and experience, in which our produc­ ers have an immediate interest because it offers them a direct profit of proba­ bly two cents a pound on all wool raised. At the present time men are apt to rush their wool into market in a state of poor preparation, and make haste to sell it, frequently because they need a little money, and they there­ fore take what they can get, whereas they could have it sorted and repacked at a trifling cost and could realize on it in that state at least 2} cents more than in the rough fleece without care or selection. This packing house is willing to do work at the most reasonable price and as cheap as it can be done in San Fran­ cisco ; but our wool now goes to that place and is graded and repacked there. If it was only to encourage home institutions we could find a profit in having this work done in our own State, but. as our wool is more valuable for being made marketable we cannot afford to lose by letting it go abroad in the rough. Still another point of im­ portance is that Oregon wool is much sought for at the F ist, and we can only prevent imposition being practiced and other wool put on the Eastern market as from Oregon, by having a responsible grading and packing house hero whose brand shall be known and respected in all markets. Next year we can ship or have for sale 5,0(10,000 pounds of wool, which can be graded and repacked in the best manner for $25,000, and will bring the producers $100,000 over and above that, as pre­ mium for being in proper commercial shape. It will not be many years before the wool clip of Oregon will make its mark in the wool markets of the world. Our flocks rapidly increase, and the profits of this branch of business are assured. Continual care is being taken to im­ prove the breeds and quality of wool, and our country is so well adapted to the business that fleeces grow heavier and fibre finer instead of deteriorating. The Eastern plains and uplands, and even the mountain sides offer vast areas for sheep husbandry. Our cattle market is so limited that stock lias be­ come cheaper than ever before, with no outlet for our great surplus. We can raise horses, but we cannot find ready sale for them ; but the fleece on the sheep offers a sure remuneration and we are in no danger of overstock­ ing the markets of the world, lienee, sheep husbandry promises more for Oregon in the future than even our wheat fields, and there is no branch of business connected with it that we can afford to neglect. Mr. Seymour suggests that it is time a Wool Exchange was established in Oregon, at which all wools can be sold by sample in open market. That would perhaps insure a freer competi­ tion from purchasers, though it might answer another purpose, to give them a better opportunity to combine. But we incline to the opinion that the es- tablishmert of a wool exchange would result in much good, and the vari ance ited.

W oman . —Place her among flowers, foster her as a tender plant, and she is a thing of fancy, waywardness and folly —annoyed by a dewdrop, fretted by the touch of a butterfly’s wing, and ready to faint at the sound of a beetle; and she is overpowered by the per­ fume of a rosebud. But let calamity come, rouse her affections, enkindle the fires of her heart and mark her then ; how her heart strengthens itself —how strong is her heart. Place her in the heat of battle—give her a child, a bird—anything to protect—and see her in a relative instance, lifting her white arms as a shield, as her own blood crimsons her upturned forehead, praying for life to protect the helpless. Transplant her in the dark places of earth, call forth her energies to ac­ tion, and her breath becomes a heal­ ing, her presence a blessing. She dis­ putes inch by inch the stride oi stalk­ ing pestilence, when man, the strong and brave, pale and affrighted, shrinks away. Misfortune haunts her not; she wears away a life of silent endur­ ance ; and goes forward with less tim­ idity than to her bridal. In prosperity she is a bud full of odors, waiting but fortlie winds of adversity to scatter them abroad—pure gold, valuable, but untried in the furnace. In short, wo­ man is a miracle—a mystery, the cen­ ter from which radiates the great charm of existence. H eavy F leeces . —As an illustra­ tion of what may be done in the way of raising sheep in Oregon, we give the following list of fleeces sheared from a flock of thoroughbred Spanish bucks in Linn county last week. They are the property of Colonel Jo. Teal, of Portland, and sheared as fol- lows : Warrior, 23 lbs ; Governor, 21 tbs Crusader, 1G tbs; Challenge, 25} lbs Robert, 20 tbs ; Ocean Wave, 19} lbs Í Chief, 10} tbs William Tell, 20 tbs B.Goldsmith,20 lbs;RisingSun,22 tbs Oregon Boy, 18 lbs; Shakspeare, 19 tbs Î Farmer, 20 lbs; Green Mountain,17 lbs Î Gohlen Age, 241 tbs; Young Amer- lea, 17} lbs. Hi« thoroughbred Merino ewes sheared an average of 13} tbs. The fleeces of thoroughbred Cotswold bucks were as follows: Buster Brown, 13 lbs ; Prince Charles, 10 lbs ; Henry, 11 lbs; Frank, 12 lbs; General Lee, 18 lbs. Twelve ewes of same breed averaged 11 tbs to the fleece. These sheep are kept on the Colonel’s ranch in Linn county. H oarhound . —A perennial 2] feet, stools somewhat.
