One load commanded S cents on a bid that did not represent and quotation; but the bidder got the hides. Hal any more bids been offer ed that day they would also have nothing offering in wild furs, the stocks of winter killed having beer brought 9 cents. There is practically mostly marketed.

Wheat Market Portland, April 30.—There is noth ing doing in the wheat markets aer or on Puget Sound. Stocks are very large and no one is in need of wheat; the season is practically over as to export shipments, several vessels art on the en route list chartered and when these arrive the season will be over. There is no outlook for new business as the demand for foreign trade is very dull and no inquiries are coming in either from the Cape or United Kingdom, and if any nev. business was to take place exporteis would not have to go in the country for wheat, as every house In the trade has plenty on hand. Crop re ports all over the country out her- say that spring is fully a month later than usual. The week just passed, as well as the past three weeks, had too cold nights and too cloudy days for crops to grow appreciably, conse quently the grass and wheat are but slightly improved. The weather was exceedingly favorable for plowing seeding and planting, and much of such work has been done. In som>- places it is only begun; in others, well under way. and in some locali ties they are finished. Quotations show a change.

THE HAIR BRUSH. San Francisco. April 30.—The wheat market fails to present any new features here. Exporters are all through for the season. Only two vetsels are loading. Stocks of wheat for export purposes are almost clean ed up and whatever remains in the hands of farmers will be used up by millers. A large amount will come down from the north yet this season to help out. Flour trade is not brisk enough at present to compel millers to pay fancy prices for wheat, hence there is very little doing Quotation; for .shipping range from $1.35 to $1.4»' per cental and for milling from $1 45 to $1.50.

Or. Smith Speaks of the Cond't on» of the Disease in Crook County. Dr. C. J. Smith was called into con -»uitation yesterday by Dr A C.

Dr. Smith says, that while the con !ition of things at that place is no> as serious as has been reported at ■ome time* In the fast few .lays, stlti it is serious enough to teach the tx>o , le their duties in the matter of such a disease. Smallpox is not a disease for which there ts any specific treatment, but p a disease of prevention, if the peo >ie could be vaccinated as it is theii duty to be. the scourge could be i-asi ly contravented with little or no low of life, but when the pttople will no heed such a simple precaution it be ome* serious when It once attackt o community.
