BE VIEW. OF THE LOCAL MAEZET.
The week closing with today, and the
end of the month has been favored with
a fair trade in all merchantile lines,
some of the bnineas houses have replen
ished their stocks with large invoices of
merchandise. ' In conversation with our
leading merchants, we learn that while
January has been classed as a quiet
month in the past, that this month's
business has been in excess of former
comparative months, and the favorable
winter on all kinds of stock and farming
interests prompts them to anticipate an
increased activity in business' for the
coming season.
Our farmers have organized them-!
selves into a merchantile association,
with their principal place of business in
this city, and have elected their board of
managers. This organization will add
materially to the centralization of mu
tual interests in the importance of this
city as an entrepot for the great interior.
In finances, while reports are being
constantly sent over the continent of the
continued stringency, and the closine
down of manufactories, and failures in
the various branches of business, our
Oregon is in a healthy condition. Great
confidence is felt in all branches of trade,
in a favorable outlook for the future.
Money, while not quite as flush as in
the palmy days of the past, is compara
tively easy, as evidenced bv the fact that
our brokers report offerings in excess of
demands on good security, and further,
that but little paper is offered at discount.
holders preferring the interest rather
than otherwise.
xveal estate. There has been no
perceptible change in the real estate
market since last report. A number of
transfers are reported from in and about
Hood River, and about the usual num
ber in The Dalles and vicinity. Prices
remain firm and dealers hope to see
more activity as spring comes on.
The produce market is unusually light
and is devoid of interest. Only 120 tons
of wheat has gone west during the
past week and as for receipts, there has
been nothing doing.
Eastern and foreign markets are as
fluctuating as ever and to conjecture
what the future will bring is idle specu
lation. Chicago's May-delivery quota
tion is 97; New York, 1.04.
Portland's market is firmer, with a
good export demand. Its quotation is a
little higher. Valley is quoted $1.25
1.26; Eastern Oregon, $1.151.16J.
Dalles market quotes .55 for No. 1 ; .54
for No. 2.
Oats The oat market is very quiet
and offerings limited at quotations. We
quote, extra clean $1.50 per cental and
inferior $1.351.40 per cental.

Millstuffs The supply is quite suffi

and shorts $20.00 per ton. Shorts and
middlings $22.50 $24.00 per ton.
Hay The hay market is weaker, with
lower quotations and want of firmness,
owing to the continued warm weather,
which has checked the usual demand.
Quote, timothy, $17.00 per ton, wheat
hay in compressed bales $12.50. Oat

. ' Last Night's Lecture.
The large and representative audience
that filled the Congregational church
last night must have pleased Mrs. Maior
Scott, the lecturer of the evening. No
'better testimonial could be offered than
j was the closest attention given the fair
speaker throughout her lecture. "Sow
ing an Reaping or AVhat We Give to
Posterity," the title of the lecture, is
one that cannot fail to please . the most
cultured and refined; and when added
to a clear, distinct and almost faultless
enunciation, the pleasure of listening to
Mrs. Scott is indeed great.
Another phase of the temperance
question will be discussed tonight which
will bring out another large audience to
hear the solid argument and eloquence
of Major Scott.
The lectures will be continued tonight
at the same place.

unable to get a trial. It is a matter of
considerable interest, as there are one or
two others that we know of who are in
the same boat as Stone, and if he is
guilty there will be other work for the

. One of the strangest and most interest
ing cases to the medical profession as
well as' to the people is that of M
Grace Gridley, a pretty young lady of
Anaboy, Ills. Her singular case has
called the attention of the medical pro
fession far and wide, and they hav thus
far been -unable to solve the mystery.
Your correspondent called at the home
of the'parents at Am boy, and was met at
the door by Mrs. Gridley, a motherly
woman, whd, when told of the errand,
said:
, "It is very embarrassing for us, and
we have felt delicate in saying anything
to strangers about our dear Grace. There
is hardly a mail that does not bring let
ters of advice and inquiries from doctors
and strangers from all over the country.

there have been reports in other papers,

Medical assistance was called in. and
not until a strong current of electricity
had been applied did she awalra. s, re

inira we again had to resort to electrici
ty. She awoke with a scream, and said:
'Don't do that: it hurts m an! Afn.mma.
I don't want to wake; I am so comfort
able. I understand and know everything
that is going on around me,' and she

When asked if it had not been report
ed that the strange illness . had been
brought on by religious excitement at a
revival, Mrs. Gridley said: "There has
been such a report, but there is no truth
in it, though Grace is an ardent Chris

has not attended anv revivala fVvr

How Mrs. Barr Came to Write.
Mrs. Amelia E. Barr, who now divides
her talents between Tha TJaw
Ledger and The Century, is said to make
more money man does the chief justice
of the United States. She is the daugh
ter of a Church of England clergyman,
and grew up and married across the sea.
Upon first coming to America the fami
ly settled in Texas. There yellow fever
carried off the husband and sons. Mrs.
Barr came north and got a place as
teacher. One day at a dinner party a
man beside her said, "If you could write
as you talk you might make a living by
it." , The result was a short story in The
Christian Union. The Texas experience
furnished the local color for "Remember
the Alamo," which, however, is far from
being Mrs. Barr's best book. Indeed
the story is so burdened with history
that it drags throughout, and in spots is
distinctly tiresome. However, it sells,
and the juggling of the guinea helps all
hurt that art may feel. New York Let
