REVIEW OF THE L00AL If ASSET.
The week ending with today has been
unusually quiet in everything,- owing
largely to the recent ' cold wave, and
storms that have just passed, which
have had a paralyzing influence in all
branches of trade.
The shipments of stock have been very
light, as well as the movement of grain.
The wheat market has no new features,
save in Portland, there is about 6000
tons of tonnage at its docks waiting for
cargoes, and as a result a firmness is
manifest for immediate dispatch, as de
lays are promotive of demurage on char
ters consequently wheat inquiries have
been more active and a stiffning advance
has characterized the markets through
out the past week. In New York and
Chicago the fluctuations are of the same
old report, as well as the European quo
tations, which are governed by the num
ber of cargoes off the coast and in sight.
In finance there is an easier tone and
already advances have been made on the
wool clip of 1891 which bids fair to be
very fine and, large.
The live stock market is not as active
as it was for the week previous for ship
ment
The demand is easily supplied 1
with prime beeves and mutton1 for the
home market. Our dealers quote an
advance of cents per pound for fat
cattle, and ?4 of a cent for prime hogs.
Veal is in good demand at 5 cents for
heavy to 7 cents for light, with a good
inquiry as the supply is insufficient.
The vegetable market is very stringent
with a very limited supply in sight.
Cabbage is not in the market and sells
freely at 2214 cents per ound. Pars
nips and turnips are in demand and the
market is almost withont supply. A
greater inquiry is made each day for all
kinds of table vegetables, than formerly.
Chicago and New York grain quota
tions are as fluctuating as formerly,
with no encouraging features to report.
Chicago's May delivery quotation is
99 New York, 1.0(5.
Portland's market reports an advance
with a firmer tone. Its quotations for
Valley is quoted $1.30; Eastern Ore
gon, $1.201.25.
Dalles market has been more active
with a slight advance since last week,
quote, .58 for No. 1 ; .56 for No. 2.
Oats The oat market is very quiet
and offerings limited at quotations with
an upward tendency. We quote.'extra
clean $1.50 per cental and inferior $1. '35
1. 40 per cental.
Babley There is nothing doing in
barley. There is none offering. Quote
prime brewing $1.051.10, feed $1.00
1.05 per cental, sacked. .
Flock Best brands $3.75$4O0 per
barrel. '.''
Millstcffs The supply is quite suffi
cient for the demand. We quote bran
and shorts $20.00 per ton. : Shorts and
middlings $22.50$24.00 per ton.
Hay The recent storm has effected the
market somewhat and hay has met with
activity in sales. Quote, timothy, $17.00
per ton, wheat hay incompressed bales
$12.50. - Oat hay although is not quoted
any higher, has an upward tendency.
Alfalfa market is without change in
former quotation, $13.0014.00 ; oat hay,
$12.00.
Potatoes Are in good supply and
have a downward tendency. Quote,
$.80, and .90 cents per 100B.
Butter The market is entirely bare
of good butter and but a limited supply
of ordinary on hand ; the quotations are
firm. Quote A 1 .70, good .65, brine .40
(50.45, common .30.35 per roll.
Eggs- The market is : firmer, the
8tormv weather has been unfavorable for
increased supply and the former quota
tion is firmer. Quote .16 .20 per
dozen.
roi'LTHY xixe ioultry market is
stiffer since- our last quotation,
and a still farther advance is looked
for as there is a scarcity in supply,
which continues. We quote, good,
average fowls $4.00 per dozen, wmmon
$3.003.50 per dozen. Turkeys .10 per
IV). Geese ,90($1.25 each. Ducks .35
.40 each.
Wool There are only a few lots of
wool in store, and qubtations cannot be
made with certainty, prices average
from .15. 18 for Eastern Oregon.

The Times-Mountaineer says :
"Last summer, during the fight on the
water question, we had almost a daily
visitor, passing his opinion upon the
merits of the articles written, and he has
told us what we said was true he knew
it by experience. That man was Hagh
Gourlay, the fellow who uses the cry of
"tell the truth" like the man who
screamed "Stop thief with stolen
goods in his possession in order to send
people off the scent."
"Annias" is at his old trade. . It mat
ters little now, but we never did, .by
word or act, approve of the Mountaineer's
side of the water question. On the con
trary, it will be news to the editor to
learn, that the man from Belfast, put
himself, at that time, on a record, that
he does not not need, now, to retract.
He answered some of the Mountaineer's
falsehoods over a non de 'plume in the
columns of the Sun, and the Mountaineer
man never knew it. "Annias" must
try again.
. . , A Dallen Boy Get Therx.
The friends ef Ned Mays, the second
youngest son of our fellow townsman
Hon. Robt.- Mays, will be pleased to
hear that he is making a "record" for
himself at the University in California,
where he is entered as a sophomore.
From a private letter to his father ..writ
ten by his brother Robert, we' are per
mitted to extract the following. The
letter is dated Feb. 28. 1891 : .
' The Olympia Athletic ' Club gave a
grand field day at their grounds, in San
Francisco, on" the 23d. inst, in which
Ned walked away with the biggest race
of the day. It w'as a 440 yard dash, and
Cassidy the champion of the California
club was his oooonent. Evervbodv
thought Cassidy had a walk over, but Ned J
got in and beat tue me out ot mm. ana
broke the record, by a second and three-
quarters. The boys went wild, and we
carried Ned all over the grounds on our
shoulders. We raised the roof off the
grand stand giving the "U C" yell. .
The Baker' City Reveille is informed
that the parties who are engaged in run
ning a shooting gallery at this place, are
not what might be called "square men.
They left The Dalles withont paying the
$50 prize which they advertised, although
Mr. Kinersly, the druggist, had won it
without a doubt, they had some techni-
calty to get out of paying. : These fellows
are taking lots of money out of the town
and it behoves our rrack shots to have
their money secured before they spend
any more of their surplus cash, shooting
with poorly sighted guns. If we remem
ber right, one of our citizens came near
starving to death, trying to run a gallery
here, yet these fellows come in and
make from $40 to $50 per day cleat pro
fit. There iB a screw loose somewhere.
The Times-Mountaineer says :
The Sun truthfully says : "Judging
from the manner in which the new
editor of the Chronicle indiscriminately
attacks those who differ with him on
the charter and water bills and matters
in general, it is evident that he has not
forgotten the custom which prevailed at
Donnybrook fairs, where every man car
ried a shillaly and the rule was, 'Wher
ever you see a head, hit it.' "
The above" paragraph has given the
Chronicle very great pleasure. The
Sun man is an old friend of ours. Re
port had it he was dead. We had not
heard of him before for manv months.

OF INTEREST TO APIARIANS.1
Bu creations Made at Recent Meeting of
"' Boston Bee Keepers.
Mr. E: Li. Pratt, of Beverly, read an
interesting paper on honey producing;
In this he considered the matter of get
ting bees started in the section a trou
blesome experience with many bee keep
ers. He said:. . . i
"One or two colonies as a rule get into
the boxes at once and make a start be
fore the others begin. In this case sim
ply shift a row of started sections' with
a middle row of one not. started, bees
and alL Continue to do thi3 until all
have at least one row of started boxes.
Another plan is to tier two cases of sec
tions above the strongest colonies, leav
ing out the center row of boxes in each
"-case, and hang a frame of brood in all
stages in their places. - Leave thus until
a start is made, when a row of started
boxes can be placed in the center of each
case, bees and all. If they refuse to
work after this it is very evident that
they intend to swarm, when every effort
should be made to encourage them to do
so. Disturb them as little as possible,
and feed a 'little . during unpleasant
weather. Adjust a trap to the entrance
and prepare a new hive for each, with
starters in the frames not over two
inches wide."
Mr. Pratt cautioned against the hiving
of swarms on full sheets of foundation
or drawn comb. He advised .when the
swarm issues examining the trap for the
queen. "When found remove the trap
and adjust it to the front of the new
hive and place it close beside the parent
colony. Leave it until the swarm re
turns, which it will do in a few minutes.
hiving itself as nice as you please. After
the swarm is nicely settled in and on the I
hive it can be placed where it is to stand j
permanently and the queen allowed to
run in among the bees. It is safer to
wait until quite late in the afternoon be
fore the queen is released. The . case of
started sections should be removed from
the old hive and placed on the swarm.
If these bees do not show comb honey it
is because there is no honey in the field.
In a few days the parent colony will
have become strong enough to take a
new case of sections."
To guard against the after swarming
Mr. Pratt's advice was to readjust the
trap to the old colony, catch and kill the
queens as fast as they come off with a
swarm. Then the trap should be removed
to allow the last young queen a wedding
flight. If increase is not desired the new
hive can be placed on the old stand, and
all the remaining bees can be shaken off
the combs in front of the new hive at
the end of the eighth day. The brood
remaining can be distributed among the
weak colonies or tiered over some colony
that can care for it.
Things Teld by New York Dairymen.
The importance of maintaining the
fertility of the farms was pronounced at
the late convention of the New York
Dairymen's association as being the most
important question before the dairymen.
Mr. F. D, Curtis said: "We must engage
in a mixed agriculture, not confining
ourselves to one line. The silo is one
means' of getting out of the rut. So also
id the raising of grain and feeding the
same on the farm where it is raised. It
takes more milk to make a pound of
cheese or a pound of butter than it did
twenty years ago, and this comes from
the lessened fertility of our farms."
A. D. Boker, of Aurelins, favored
dairying on a'grain farm. He had found
it an advantage to raise the grain con
sumed instead of buying it. He said:
"Any farmer who can raise corn cannot
afford to do without a silo." '
Secretary Woodward explained the cost
of keeping cows out of doors as follows:
'It takes twenty-four pounds of hay to
keep a cow twenty-four hours if she runs
out of doors. If she is kept in all the
time she can ' be kept np as well with
eighteen pounds of hay."
The Best Root for Farmers.
Among other practical questions' an
swered at one of the State Farmers' in
stitutes was the one, "What is the best
root for farmers to grow?" This was
answered by Mr. Curtis, of Saratoga
county, who said:
The best root is the carrot, but the
cheapest to produce is the turnip, and
the progressive farmer ' mnst be its
friend. Breeding sows can be wintered
and do grandly on flat turnips and clo
ver hay, nothing else. They will do
better on other roots, but' we can grow
two crops on the same land on which
the turnips are produced. For instance,
one acre of good clover will furnish the
hay for a score of hogs and the turnips
also. People talk about a turnip flavor
to milk and use milk with a maante
flavor. There -is too much senseless
prejudice and notion about a great many
things; Let ns produce the foods which
we can get the cheapest, and especially
if they are healthful.
IThat Others Say.
The amount of food that one horse
may thrive and do well upon may in
jure another. It ij as necessary to know
the cajiiciiyof the horse, as far as his
digestion is concerned, as it is to know his
strength and how much he is able to pall.
Stoddard sayst One should be' some-:
what sparing in the use of cooked food
for the laying and the breeding stock, as
it appears to favor the development of
fat about the ovaries. In general one-
half of the food may be cooked, and in
cold weather may be fed warm. Force
pullets to lay with plenty of egg produc
ing food, but not with stimulants. '
Booting grapevine branches, accord
ing to . Popular Gardening, should be
done' in early spring. Dig a shallow
trench into which the branch or stem is
to be laid. ' Cover lightly, to keep in
place. When the bads start into growth
fill the soil back into the trench. With
such Xfatmen t each shoot will be likely
P Sauce a plant-
The ewes need a variety of food, and
though they should not be fed too heav
ily just before lambing, for fear of mak
ing them too fat, and thereby inducing
milk fever, they shouhLnot bd sighted
after the lambs are dropped, for it will
be all that the ewes can do to provide
milk for strong, vigorous lambs.
