Laden with a general cargo of freight from Antwerp the French bark Atmen reached port Friday and dropped anchor in the stream. One of the Hems on the bark's manifest Is sawdust. There are 40 sacks of this, but why it was im ported is not known. It is presumed that the German variety possesses some peculiar medicinal or chemical proper ties not contained in- the home-made product. The Armen brought 2.800. tons of freight, all told, consisting of steel rails flan plates, bolts, cement, sulphur and sawdust. She came from Antwerp di rect, sailing from there on September A seaman named Marrec was struck by a wave which washed the decks and was thrown against the mainmast,' dis locating his shoulder. Others had nar row escapes from receiving injuries in ,8 similar manner. Jean, Talgorn., an able seaman, died of consumption during the voyage, and was buried at sea. In 60 degrees' south and 84 degrees west a German ship wltl) her mainmast broken and other damage done, was sighted. She signalled the Amen and requested the captain to inform the owners of the vessel's condition. Her signal letters were: R. J. Q, a. , The Armen is under charter "to load grain for the United Kingdom. ' Cromartyshire Chartered.' The British, ship .Cromartyshire was 'chartered Saturday to load lumber at Portland for South Africa. Oregon Arrives. The steamer Oregon reached port Frl : day from San Francisco with 1.315 tons of freight, consisting of fresh vege tables, 13 carloads of sugar, salt and miscellaneous goods. Aurelia Bails. With 350,000 feet of lumber on deck and 600 tons of wheat in the bold the steam schooner Aurelia sailed at 11 o'clock Saturday for 8an Francisco. She also carried IS passengers. IN FIRST DISTRICT POLITICAL CAMPS The Republican congressional . com mittee of the First district will meet in ' Portland tomorrow for the purpose of fixing the date and place of meeting of the congressional convention, and the appointment of delegates. Dr. T, W. Harris of Bugene is chairman of the committee, and a full attendance is ex pected, as the fight for the nomination promises to be keen. Blnger Hermann will doubtless seek a renomination, but I. T. Harris, speaker of the lower house . in the state legislature, is a formidable competitor and has a following which makes Hermann's chances seem pre carious. The convention will probably be held either at Salem or - at Inde pendence. Eugene will not make any effort to capture it, in view of the fact that Harris, who iivos at Eugene, is -a candidate for the nomination. Having a favorite son in, the race, Eugene will content itself with backing his candi dacy., without trying to get the conven tion. MARINE NOTES. Antorla. Feb. 22.

The principal events in the Portland wholesale marr kets today were: Eggs going down. Flour advance cornea nearef. Farmers holding wha.t. . 1 Hops very dull. Blockades affect potatoes, Halibut is higher.' No changes In poultry situation. Onions continue to boom. Hides are higher, Beef la higher. , Mutton is advanced, ! Lambs ranging upward. 1 Eggs Oolnf Down, Although today "was a sort of a half holiday, most ofj the wholesale firms closing vp at noon, the receipts In the egg market continued their swift pace as daring the previous week. The mar ket at present is in rather a bad shape, but it is not thought that the price will show very much of a decline just now on account of the demand from tho Outside. Most of the egg men today re ceived calls for bids for stocks from the Sound merchants, but no sales were re corded. The Sound men were simply looking -for information and no actual price, was aubmitted to the local men. There is no doubt that this market can be cleaned uo by the outside call, but slightly lower pVlces are looked for. Tho price of eggs Is much too high for this period otJhe year, when receipts show such a radical Increase, and when they become too heavy for the outsiders to dean them up a larve slump W Jooaeu for in quotations. Poultry is Badly Wantad. All kinds of poultry will receive an active call In this market during the next few days, but the future will de pend altogether on the receipts. The markets today were entirely bare of stocks, so prices as not quoted may be called nominal. Straight hens, mixed chickens, ducks, geese and even turkeys. would find a welcome at prices tnat border on extravagance. It is not very likely that there will be any more ad vances in this market, because the quo tatlons have already reached the danger point and should they perchance ad vance it will cut off a considerable part of the demand, and then with larger rt celpta'the market will go back to a fig' ure where the average citizen will not consider poultry too much of a luxury to eat. Plour Advance Comas Hearer, The advance in the flour market, which has been predicted by The Jour nal so much of late, is gradually coming nearer, and according to a prominent miller this morning an advance of about 10 to 16 cents a barrel will prollably be made this week in all lines. The flour market continues very active, with a large buying among the retail trade In anticipation of a rise in values. The Inquiries from Japan and, It is said, from Russia are many, but no actual buys are yet reported in this market. All Partners Hold Wheat. The farmers and warehousemen are holding wheat tighter than ever, and the advance of May option to ii.os-j in Chicago did not make them sell any faster. The wheat market in this city Is quite different from th one in Chi cago and other eastern cities, Inasmuch as the markets there are mainly specu lative and the high prices of the. past few weeks have not been occasioned by the larger demand for milling purposes. In this city the demand always makes the price the' only outside markets causing any tendency in this market be ing Liverpool, which nas not shown th? large advances recently made In Chi cago. Xopa Very Boll. There is'lio resemblance of activity In the hop market and the . holders of stocks are not so sure of higher prices in the future as they were several weeks ago. The market, now as then, is purely confined, to dealers',.-operations and tha outnlder has bult little interest in their doings. 8ome of the dealers are getting rather shaky and are in clined to sell If they could find a mar ket at 'prices which they refused two weeks ago. Blockade Affect Potatoes. The potato market Is In rather a Com plicated position iu thla city on account of the Inability of the dealers to ship their stocks to the outside. The several slides along the line of the Southern Pacific has caused the tying up of practically all of the freight cars on both sides of the disturbance and the inability of -the steamers to take down to the Bay City market one-third of the shipments offered keeps the dealers here on the anxious seat and they hardly know whether-to buy or not The fail ure of the usual Oregon stocks to ar rive In the California market has made quite an Improvement in ruling prices, but the benefits of these prices have been absorbed by the ban Francisco men. The local, dealers have large stocks en route to that city and are forced to sit idly by and see potatoes go to a high figure while their own stocks are held up by 'wrecks. Local dealers are unanimous in their opinions that the prices now being paid for potatoes are far too much ' considering what the stocks will bring in the open market. Higher' prices are being paid for pota toes out in the country than can now be received for the same goods in th San Francisco market, without even counting the freight charges. Onions Holding Firmer. The onion market, like that in pota toes, is holding firmer, with higher figures being paid than the stocks can be sold for to the .retail trade. This market, although there is a very large demand, is now a speculative one. As high as $2.25 has been offered and 'paid out In the country for the better grades of stock. There have beer) some rumors or 12.35, but these cannot be confirmed. The local demand for both potatoes and onions is very good. Hides Are Higher. ' Although this Is usually the dull sea son in the hide market, the small amount of the refcelpts of good hides and the very large ones of the poorer grades has caused an advance of about Vt cent a pound In all quotations. Change la Meat. Along Front street today the call for block hogs was more tierce than ever, but prices are so high that few look for any upward changes. The receipts of beef, although liberal, are not fully up to the demand and orices afe higher today. The call for the better grades of dressed mutton is larger and higher prices are ruling. Lambs are quoted about ? cent higher. The receipts dur ing the past half week in veal have been larger ami that market is not quite so firm, altough no changes appear In prices. ' Opinions on Today's Market. ' W. JJ. Giafke company The creamery, butter situation shows no changes to day. ' - ; Bell V Co. Some very nice hot-house lettuce came in- from Beaverton today. Mark . Levy & Co. Washington's birthday, and there 'is no business along the street. , : Levy & Spiegl On account of land slides a car of celery and and) a car of sweet potatbes which " were , due "to Ar rive, today, did not come. " ' ;N t -i - Malarkey & Co. A few gimlet smelt came in this morning: some fresh hali but is 1n and sold higher; -salmon of all kinds continues very scarce, - ' ; i D. E. Melkle Both tho potato and the onion-markets continue active, with prices about the same. L; Jaggar Potatoes and onions con tinue firm .at former prices. : . Burt-Three thoifsana five hundred sacks of potatoes left on the 'Frisco steamer last nightf 1,065 sacks ; of onions also went down. ; , Smith Bros. No dressed meat stocks carried over from lost, week and every thing in the meat and poultry markets Is in demand; no changes in livestock innce Saturday. . "wj . . ' ; Davenport-Thompson company Ef market is weaker and lower.' i O. 8. Smith Eggs are coming faster and are lower; all poultry Is in demand at top prices. , , , -Evcrding & Fafrrell Eggs seem to b very, weak; chickens are very firm with on excellent demand for all sorts; mar ket has been unable to supply the call; veal and pork and both' Hi excellent de mand; fancy mutton seems to', .-be wanted. " Page- Born-Car bananas due Homor row; eggs have no price today, but mar ket is much weaker; receipts are enorm ous and the call - is unsettled;-, no chickens in market;, demand very stiff; hogs and Veal continue to find a good demand. Toft, Hlne & Co. While the receipts of the past three or four days have been large in our lines, there is no trouble to clean up at prices that give satisfaction to the shippers, with the possible exception of eggs. This mar ket has a downward tendency. . ' McKlnley Mitchell No change In po tatoes or onlons;v hops continue very dull. I Today's quotations, as revised, are as follows: POBTLAHO WHOLES AXB PBICIS.

Seattle, Feb. 22. Portland appears to be at the present time the Mecca of men who have failed to harmonise with social conditions in Seattle. Mike Scully, proprietor of the Comlque and People's tlreatres, one of which is In 'the restricted district, is now In Portland on a mighty tear, according to a report at police headquarters.

The arrest of "Prince Ruber' Stirred up a sensation in this city, xnis mulatto, who began his business career as a boy. carrying meals to negro pris oners in an Alabama Jail and ultimately climbed until he held seances In so ciety's parlors in Seattle, was entrapped by a local woman and then arrested. Tha woman went to his fashionably fur nished parlors in the Hotel Savoy and told him a pitiful story of how she wished to get divorced from a sup posed husband. She said the man had no faults, but she did not want to live with him. The "Prince" readily fell into the snare. He said that made no difference to him; that he could secure the divorce anyhow, as he had others, through the aid of a local detective, and readily consented to bring about the happy result for 1250. Then the police stepped into the room and arrested both men. Although "King Solomon", was run out of the city several months ago, his In fluence is still , felt here.
