Heavy receipts are causing a gen
raJ alump In the butter market and
stocks are now accumulating at such a
fate that some of the larger dealers are
willing to sell at any price. Today
the quotations went down to 18H20c
and the market la considered very weak
at even tbo lowest pries. It la expected
by those highest In authority In the
butter market that quotations will reach
bedrock at 17c within the next few
day, and then the stock will be cheap
enough to put In cold storage and the
market thereby relieved. There Is still
e shipper not caring to sacrifice, aro
till holding to the higher figure.
Kgr Demand and Supply Equal.
At the present quotations, the supply
nd demand for eggs Is about equal.
but It Is not expected that there will
be any violent eruptions within the next
few days. If receipts happen to show
any material Increase In the near future
prices will surely go downward. To
day's prices range from 16 H to 17 cents
with most of the sales being made at
the latter figure.
rood Pries Again Advance.
With n decided scarcity In the hay
lnd feed market, dealers are hustling
around for a small supply of timothy
hay. und in some Instances even 123 a
Ion has been paid. The supply of tlm
sthy Is especially short and from bow
to the end of the present season fur
ther advance will occur. Prices today
are: Timothy hay. 120; clover, $17;
bran. Jl'.i.SO; middlings, $25; shorts.
$20.50; chop. $18.50.
alley Wheat Is Down.
Valley wheat prices are down on ac
count of the dullness In flour, but the
other grades are unchanged. There Is
absolutely nothing doing In flour at the
. resent time and no Improvement Is
looked for pooh. Price are unchanged.
Poultry Is Scarce.
Although receipts of Irioultry have
been fair within the past few days,
there wan not near enough stock ar
riving to supply the spirited demand
that prevails. Price on all grades of
poultry are held stiff at the highest
points. Everything was cleaned up
with the exception of a few geese,
which arrived today and for which there
la no demand.
Too Much Teal.
Veal receipts or the poorer stock con
tinues heavy with demand ut the lowest
ehb. Mutton, although In light receipt.
Is not In sufficient demand to keep
tilings cleaned up during the prevailing
quotations. Hwf Is still on the scarce
list with demnnd quite heavy. Demand
' for pork equals the light receipts.
Older Vinegar to Xiao.
Beginning with May 1. the quotations
on all grades of cider vinegar will be
advanced 2 cents a gallon. This will
make the new quotations range from 18
to 27 cents a gallon. The rise Is caused
by the persistent visits of the Poor
1 old Commissioner who-now says that
thi majority ' of the stuff' now sold on
the market 'as elder vinegar, is not the
real thing.
Hops Still Dull.
rVif hni buys have been reported
within the past few days, but the
market shows every tendency for a
Higlit advance. The bears are still do
ItiR all in tli-elr power to make the
outlook gloomy." but the reported ru-
jnora that London brewers are evading
this market for supplies has helped to
buoy; the market up.
Potatoes und onions are unchanged In
either price or condition. The steamer
i:ijler arrived from Ssn Francisco with
I tie usual cargo of vegetables last even
ing.

FOR A MARKET BLOCK.
A meeting of the special committee of
the Council and the Kxecutlve Board,
which were appointed by the Mayor to
arrange for the erection of a market
building ou the Site of the old Mechanics'
Pavilion, will meet tomorrow afternoon
and consider all propositions for the re
moval of the present structure and the
building of a modern market place. A
company which styles Itself the Union
Market Company has presented an ap
plication for the market privileges, and If
satisfactory terms are made It will be
accepted. There have also been other
applications, but when the time for ac
ceptlng them arrived the applicants did
not put In an appearance. -As
previously stated In The Journal,
the building proposed by the Union Mar
ket Company will be 200 feet In length
and C5 In width, and sheds for the shelter
of horses and vehicles will be provided In
the remainder of the block.

no better risk the losing of his custom
er than uny other manufacturer the mill

the market during which the prices ad
vanced rapidly Instead of declining, de

up business again. It Ts said that sev
eral of the large elevator Interests ure

each, and that the aggregate May short
interest In this grain Is about 2, GOO, anil
bushels. ! It Is expected that they will
begin to make standard oats with the
first appearance of good weather. If
they succeed, as they are expected to.
It will make a decided difference in the
oat situation here, as to stocks. It is
said that some of the May shorts have
been getting from the Northwest the
sort of oats which are expected to turn
out standard.

NEW YORK. April 21. The Chronicle
says: Instead uf purchasing the Jones
and Laughlin Company for something
like fO.000.000, an understanding has
been reached by the United States Steel
Company and Its largest outside compet
itor will work in harmony. An arrange
ment similar to that which has been
made for this Pittsburg concern Is also
In negotiation with the Lackawanna

Railroad Company advertises that It
will pay principal and Interest at matur
ity, May. 1, of Its outstanding sinking
fund 6 per cent gold bonds of 1878. There
are tl, 663, 000 of these bonds still out
standing. The railroad has two other
Important Issues which It may refund
this year at a very considerable saving.
Some of the largest interests in Wall
street begin to recognize In the Northern
Securities decision a benefit which was
overlooked. There Is no hesitancy on
their part now In saying that the decls- j
Ion, after all, is for the best Interests
of bona fide stockholders of the corpora
tion. The rumors that the Norfolk div
idend may bp Increased this summer is
absolutely unfounded. The matter has
never been discussed, and It Is alto
gether unlikely that It will come up for
discussion for a long time In view of
the fact that the rate was Increased
from 2 to 3 per cent last fall.
The steamer George V. Rider arrived

transferred to the Columbia. Captain
Doraif of the last named steamer, has
been granted a three-months' leave of
absence. He. with Ills family, will spend
a oouple of months visiting the leading
cities and countries of Europe. It Is ex
pected that lie will spend a part of his

MAITERHORN WINS RACE
It Is not often that a captain of a
sailing ship that is defeated In a race will
admit that he was outsailed. But Cap
tain Beniulst of the British bark Adder
ley, belongs to this class. In a recent
letter to a friend here the Captain says:
"I arrived at Sydney on the 17th of
March, while flic Matterhorn arrived on
the 8th. The A.l.l. rley did not sail as
well as Captain Warren's ship, he having
passed meln the northeast trades, he
took the same road that I did. so It was
only a question of bis ship being a better
sailer than mine
Captain Beniulst stated that all on
board the Addeilev were well. He says

Originated ii Country Districts
Where No Action Was
Taken Against It.
Never before In the history of the Pa
cific Northwest has smnllpox been so
prevalent, nor, In the opinion of dis
ease exjierts, has It ever hud the I'ni'
dom that It now enjoys from guurari
tlne or restrictions of Hiiy kind For
more than a year Interior points of
Oregon and Washington have been
scourged by It und. because It was of a
mild form and comparatively few deaths
resulted, little If anything was done to
check Its spread. Operating without re
straint the disease has gradually grown
worse until It hits now appeared In sev
eral sections of the country in the most
virulent form
Those acquainted with the history of
the present epl.lemlc claim the reason
little action was taken against It Is l.c
cause the disease first made Its appear
ance in smaller towns and In country
districts where no health rules ale In
force. Hundreds of cuses resulted.
Neither the victims nor those associated
with til. -in hud any Idea the slight i up
tlon on face and hands was srnall.o.
Children went to school while I. token
out with It and grown perso.-is attend
ed entertainments ami bulls without hav
ing the least Idea they were dlss. nili:at -ing
dlseuse germs and endanger, ng the
lives of others.
Didn't Look Like Smallpox.
The disease was III so mild a form
that boards of health and local physi
cians were frequently unable to deter
mine If It was smallpox. Reports from
Walla Walla tell of danger from the
disease having assumed such propor
tions thut the most stringent quaran
tine measures have been adopted. In one
instance a young man came in from the
country with his face broken out In
pimples thut resembled smallpox pits,
lie was sent' to the pest house. It tinned !
out thut he did iml have smallpox at
first, but contracted It after entering
the pesthouse and bis life was placed In
Jeopardy as a result.
Much comment has been Indulged III
with regard to the smallpox epidemic
prevalent in and about Hhanlko. It Is
claimed by those acquainted with the
situation that the disease Is not more
prevalent there at the present time than
In any one of a dozen other districts of
the Northwest. At Dixie. Wash., a small
town 10 miles from Walla Walla, there
were recently 26 cases, the entire popu
lation of the place being less than 600.
Lack of rules, regulations and phy
sicians in the country districts. It Is
said, are mainly to blame for the con
tinued prevalence of the epidemic, which
Is said tu be growing worse daily.

Its Influence, as It wilt be several months

gaining freely from the treasury and
with larger receipts from the Interior,
it Is the general opinion that time mon

near future on good mixed collateral
as against D to 5H per cent but recently

good foreign buying.

Cause of Bailroad Accidents.
The number of rallroud accidents that
have occurred In the I'nlted States (lur
ing the last few months Is abnormal
and It has puzzled the country to ac
count for them. Even the citizen Who
has no railroad experience can distin
guish very well between an unavoidable
accident and the other kind. The slaugh
tering of human life in preventable rail
road accidents Is due to either lucum
potency or neglect. Now. railroad men.
or-at least those trusted with the run-vl
nlng of locomotives, are far from Incom
petent. They are among the II nest men
of the country. If they neglect their
duties, when the results are generally
fatal to themselves. It must be on ac
count of physical nnd mental exhaus
tion. If they are being overworked the
practice should cense. Public interest
demands this Imperatively, but It Is hard
to understand how the railroads them
selves cun stand the property loss that
follow wrecks which can be classed as
preventable. Chicago Chronicle,

a most spirited contest between the Pa

likely lo follow. Some few months ago
the War Department advertised for bids
for transporting freight and passengers.
Two bids were received, one from James
I.aldlaw & Co. of Portland, nnd one from
the Boston Steamship Company of Bos

low bid. thereby seeming the contract.

has Just completed his eighty-second
year. He Is only surpassed In years
among the rulers of Kurope by Pope l,co.
the Grand Duke of Luxemburg, the King
of Denmark and the Duke of Mechlen-burg-Strelitz.
Besides these there are
ten other sovereigns between seventy

unparalleled. The Prince Regent served
with the headquarters of King William 1.
In the '70-'" 1 war. He was called to the
regency at the ge of 63 years by the in
sanity of his nephew. King Otto, and has
filled that onerous post for "nearly seven
teen years to the satisfaction of the Ba
varians, who presented him with $!-;.-

has four children and his eldest son has
already seen his children's children.
