Bell Reports from the various fields show a marked increase of interest in all depart ments of church work. The work of vthe conference is- con ducted by Bishop Jw W.Hott, superin tendent for the Pacific coast district. Newport Teachers . Institute. We have been handed a programme of the State Teachers' ' .Association which will meet at Newport, Oregon, on June 30th and July 1st, 2d and 3d. The pro gramme is very complete and extensive and covers a great variety of interesting and profitable studies. To those spec ially interested in the subject of educa tion in our- public schools, the privilege of attendance will be worth a whole ses sion . of - ..normal instruction. ' Arrange ments have been made with the Union Pacific to make a rate of one and one fifth fare for the round trip from rail stations tlft Oregdri' to Portland, to all. members of the State Teachers'. associa tion ; this special rate to extend to July 6th inclusive,., .Round-trip tickets from Portland to' Newjtort can also be pur chased on favorable terms. The local .committee have arranged for board and lodging to all members of the association at one dollar per day. Those who pre fer camping will have ample opportuni ties to do so. The best recitative and musical talent in the state will be prelent and take part in the exercises. Mem bers of the association from Eastern Ore gon are advised to secure certificates from the agent from whom they pur chase their tickets in order to secure the benefit of the reduced return rates. The Meanneaa of It. ; We do not think that there exists any where on earth a smaller-souled, more heartless corporation than the Union Pacific railway. In the matter of the coming encampment the managers of that corporation has had another Chance to show their stinginess. . The rates have been fixed at two cents p6r mile for companies to the encampment on the 4th of July. This will make the Baker City boys pay $10' for the privilege of coming here. In marked contrast - to this is the fact that the Northern Pacific carries the militia to encampmentsany where on their line both ways for one cent per mile. The Lord may have made a meaner management than that of the Union Pacific, but we have never heard that he did,- and we doubt if he ever will. ,.' ' - What li Promised for Today. . ' .A. J. DeVoe, . a weather prophet of Hackensack, N. Y.t says that natural forces that produce sudden falls of water from the sky are still floating in the at mosphere, and they will again concen trate their energies and cause a violent wind and rain storm on the 20th da of June,- and as near as I can calculate, . it will occur near the central part of Ore gon. "I do not claim ,to be infallible. I simply apply natural laws as I see them in operation. At any rate I hope your readers will observe the weather closely from the 18th to the 22nd of June next; as unusual storms will visit the northwestern corner of the United States near-the Pacific coast."- - A private letter to the editor of the Chronicle from an old resident of Wasco county now living in Yakima City says : "Times are dull here. The soil is yery productive, where there' is water to ir rigate and the country is full of go-ahead people but it is boomed to death.- For a home give me old Wasco."

Business still con tinues fair and former prices are main tained, save in sugars, Golden C's, have declined on of a cent, but other grades are on -former quotations Island Rice has declined cents per lb. Other lines of staple groceries remain at the same quotations. " WOOL, SITUATION. There is no material change iu 'the wool situation since our hist report was made. The dead lock seems to be on and buyers have nearly all gone to other shipping points. There has been but few transfers and but few shipments and the market is practically at a standstill. Prices are a shade lower on all grades. Light wool 8 are quoted at 16 to 17 cents and heavy at 12 to 13 cents. We clip the following .from the Ore gonian which will show what-the antici patings are in wheat . centers. Eastern markets are very firm California quotes 1.62) fori 1891, . which indicates better prices than our farmers realized for the last years crop.' " , . i . FOREIGN WHEAT PROSPECTS. , ; " England has lately been exoeriencing most unfavorable crop weather. The first of this month London has had a se vere hailstorm following four or five days djf.very hot weather, and since then the weather has been quite wintry, with snow'in various .parts of the country, and the. temperature at night below freezing. The samerkind of weather is also report ed from France. Under these circum stances, the English wheat crop reports are by no means so favorable. Indeed, the vagaries of the winter, and the extra ordinary character of its season altogeth er, are beginning to show- their real ef fects. In France farmers were beginning to hope that the spring sown wheat, which this year represents about one third of the total,-would give -a-good yield. ,The advent of bad weather, how- ever,has dispelled these hopes, and the ' common opinion among French authori ties is tnat tne next crop will not exceed that of .1879 viz., 192,000,000 bushels, while the present requirements amount to 382,000,000 bushels per annum. To ward meeting this deficiency French im porters have provided' already about 10. OOOOQO bushels, and """continue to offer more than English speculators. Cahfor nian wheat for..' September-December shipment was bought in France at 45a per 500 lbs., which is over the price ob tainable in this country. Renewed com plaints about the Russian cropl and the decrease in the quantity afloat,,? have, combined with the continued French de mand, brought about renewed firmness and a general feeling that . the bottom has been reached. . The South Australia and Victoria crop proves to be about 200,000 tons, or over 7,000,000 bushels less, according to offi cial returns, than was estimated early in the' year yjrn the strength of which esti mates ships were chartered in advance in great numbers, which can not now find cargo, Takinjg 7,000,000 bushels out of Australia's surplus in this time of prospectfve scarcity is serious enough, but it becomes the more serious when it is found that both Chili and .Ar gentine have also practically exhausted their surplus. India alone is the country from which liberal exports may .now be expected, an example of which was gi ven last week, when 1,630,000 bushels were shipped,-the largest, total in any week for a considerable time past. ' MISCELLANEOUS MARKET. . ' In the miscellaneous ', market 'review there are but few changes. Wheat hay is quoted at $14 per ton, but the high prices of wheat anticipated for the year's harvest, prompts producers to cut and cure iess hay than formerly. We hear of the market opening at $13 to $13.50 . for baled wheat hay, which is an advance over' former years, owing to expected higher price of wheat. There are no changes in quotations on oats, barley," or wheat. ' Eggs are scarce at former quo tations.
