"ioin have in dipolng of their product by going from tore to tore, there are prwpecte, that the will make ome mov toward reading their wltlict. At pretent a farmer or fruit crower trade hl produce with Uie man who given him tho bent figure, or the man with whom he would toutier deal, and tometimc tlii niMiit that he visit half a down plce before getting rid of hi produce, If he doe got rid of them. ' in numcrou caet theiw i a mutual agreement between the ttorckeepecr that tne latter take the produce if the far ini-r dealt with him. and when the latter doe not do thin, there It a "eoohie" In tho atmodphcre, nd the farmer goc eltowhere to dlpoe of hit "ttuff." If a market it being contidered It it probable that the city would have much to any In the matter and would have to put tin the expente of buying the ground and erecting building. The Irfincflt would not exactly wach the mer chant of the city, because a great many people would buy direct from the mar ket o at to escape the middleman' profit. Tho farmer and the people, on the other hand, would reap the benefit, the former tecuring an eaty and qui mean to di'txe of their stuiT, and tho io! finding what they want without hunting for it The merchant, alto would benefit In the latter man nf. A atrong polut in favor of the mar ket, with tpecial day, ay twice a week, would le the fa-t that a large number of people would fill the city on thoe two day end greatly help an lucreaae of butlnes. Tho lively atmonphere would be beneficial to tha city, like in other town. OF BARGAIN SEEKERS TO WHO IS THE OWNER THE SILVER?

' Hon. John MVCue was the orator of the day and rendered nn excellent speech. The Astoria contingent, composed of about 25 people, left this city at 8 o'clock yesterday morning and when they arrived at Cathlamet, found that the people of that city were awaiting their arrival before proceeding with the crowning of the queen and the other features of the regatta. After tlhs was done, Admiral Callender was the first to ongratulate the queen, after she had been presented the key of Cathlamet by Mayor Cooper. The latter was called upon for a speech, but stated that he believed Dr. Peabody could make a bet ter one. The doctor disclaimed this however, and suggested that Mr. McCue turn the trick, which the latter did with great success. The water sports were pulled off with great energy, as wore the land sport and other event. The Cathlaraite proved their skill in these matters and the hirge crowd present thoroughly en joyed themselves. The Astorians took a large share of the general interest and returned to the city about 8 o'clock last night in a very pleased mood. Among those who attended from Astoria were the following: Admiral Callender, Hon. John McCue, W. E. Schimpfl. Otto Micheison, Wil liam Madison, Theodore Laurln, Cap tain Steele, Hon.
