pound are now quite willing to sell at
sc. In fact growers have been crow
ing very impatient with the very slow
trade and many of them have been
crowding the local dealers' offices dur
ing the past few daya A number of
sales of prime stock are reported at 7
and 8c but this seems to be tne very top
or tne present market.
Apple Market Tlrm bat Bow.
Receipts of local apples are very lib
eral along Front street. Demand la
still slow but the trade cannot be con
sidered weak. The fact that shipments
of supplies are so small keeps the trade
from asking better price. There are but
few carlots In thla locality and for that
reason everything is dumped on the
local market. Those who have carlots
are able to sell them to the eastern
trade at better valuee than can be ob
.lalned for coast sale.
. . WhUa. suppUea. -eX grapeei are-not
heavy, they are fully up to the require
ments of the trade. Some are aaaln
coming from California. A few coming
irom jvorth Yakima. Locals are in the
best shape. Price rules, between 76c
and $1.76 a box.
Another car of sweet potatoes was
unloaded tnis morning along tne street.

Chicago, Oct 11. The wheat market
opened o to lo higher on account of
the better feeling and higher prices
abroad. It waa stated that Patten
bought December option heavily today,
causing an advance in that option of
I c. May gained So and July 2o over
yesterday. xne report was out that
over S00 loads of wheat will be for
warded for export today.
One of the bla local bulla who haa
been affected by the recent decline in
grain said: "With the grain crops of
the United States showing a shortage of
iuu.vuu.uuo Duaneis. mere is no loaric in
low prices. The only hope that Europe
can entertain of avoiding famine prices
this year is in Arcentlna. If the wheat
crop there should fail, the price will
go to Yi per Dushel in Chicago. I ex
pect in any event to see wheat at $1.26.

There Is bona yet of sailor Alexis
Beroon becoming a captain, although
for nearly 20 years he haa aalled as
an A. B. with no Intention of trying
for a higher promotion. This extra
ordinary change of affalra is the sequel
of the meeting here of Captain Dellgnac
and the aallor under quite auspicious
circumstances.
Captain Dellgnaa Is master of the
French bark Genevieve Mollnos, which
saila from this port tomorrow for
Europe with a cargo of wheat Fifteen
years ago or thereabouts his life was
saved by Bercon, who until today was
member of the crew of the French bark
Laenneo now discharging coal at the
bunkers near the upper Alblna ferry
landtnc. They met accidentally about
two weeka ago when Captain Dellgnaa
was visiting tne skipper of the laen
nec, aa was told In The Journal at the
time. With permission from the cap
tain of the Laennec Bercon transferred
to the Genevieve Mollnos this morn
ing and Captain Dellgnaa proposes to
advance the brave tar to a more re
muneratlve position than a berth In the
forepeak. At any rate he will never
need look for a "rood sdId" as lone as
Captain Dellgnac is master. The act
for which he la now about to be re
warded happened In the Gulf of Lyon
one stormy nignt wnen captain Deng-
nao, then apprentice, was swept over
board from the bark Panne. Bercon
leaped into the eea and rescued the
drowning lad while the vessel was hove
to under bare poles.
The Genevieve Mollnos haa been In
the harbor only since the first of thl
month and In the meantime haa dis
charged 14,600 barrele of cement and
loaded 96,600 bushels of wheat. This
gives her the record Xor fast dispatch
and goes to show that Portland Is pret
ty well equipped In the line of handling
cement and wheat carcoes. She cleared
today for Queenstown or Falmouth for
orders, the manifest showing her cargo
to consist or 6,a00 bushels of wheat
valued at $88,000. It was furnished by
Balfour, Guthrie A Company. Another
noteworthy fact in connection with her
visit Is that she has not lost one of her
men and need not be delayed because
MARINERS ARE WARNED.

FOG ENVELOPES CRAFT.
In
City of Panama and Wellealey
From Frisco.
Dense fogs clung around the Harri
man liner City of Panama and the little
steam schooner Wellesley on their way
from Kan Francisco to Portland so
tenaciously that they had to proceed
with the greatest of caution from port
to port. They arrived in the harbor
late last night the former at the Alns
worth wharf and the latter going to
Couch street.
The City of Panama brought 86 pas
sengers and a fun cargo or rreight
while the Wellesley brought a small
quantity of freight. She discharged
early this morning and went to the
mills of the Portland Lumber company
to load lumber ror a return cargo. This
Is her first visit here and the most
striking feature of her visit is that
she is one of the smallest up-to-date
lumber droughers to get dispatch here
for some time.
Caotaln Nelson of the City of Pan
ama reports having had a fine trip ex
cent for the dense for. The steamer
sails Monday morning.
