MARKET REVIEW.
Thursday, March 31, IS92.
- The season is bo well advanced that the
stagnation in business has vanished and
the usual activity is noticed in all branch
es of trade in every direction. Large
stocks of merchandisere on hand, and
dealers are pleased with the inauguration
of a brisk season, which is more than
satisfactory,, thus far. There is a reali-
' zation of more business than was. ex
perienced at tne corresponding period ot
last year. The prices of merchandise is
unchanged.
In' groceries, sugar has not declined as
was expected, but on the contrary is
firm, owing to the sale of the Sprickles
sugar interests in the east to the Trusts,
and consequently cheaper goods are not
. .1 M - sa. -
firm at former quotations. Other lines
are in good stock,' and prices remain
without change.
"Freight rates by the D. P. and A.
Nav. Co., of last falls schedule, are un
changed. Notwithstanding the reports
' being circulated that they were higher
and that the Regulator was sold out to
the TJ. P. railroad company, which is
absolutely false in every particular, our
people, one and all, are unqualifiedly
hearty in the support of the peoples'
line, and are receiving large freight
shipments and have immense stock on
hand.
The wool market is still slumbering
.. and bids fair to show less activity for
sometime, owing to the depressed con
ditionof the eastern markets. A San
. Francisco dispatch of the 29th inet., gives
no encouraging information to our wool
growers as the following indicates. There
in nfi mirkt.At.mn fnr wnrtl Viuvnoo of fKa
time being the market has not developed
and character. Some Nevada wools,
shorn at and near Reno have been sold
there at 14c to 14Ja'c, which prices are so
far regarded as high, though last year
. the same wools sold at the same points
vi uiwiw uiuucj', iuo mvcBii iiews irom
Boston is not encouraging to present
buying and therefore local dealers ex
press apathy and indifference, in fact,
they take no special interest in wool.
. . The wheat market is sluggish and is
1 1 . , rmmm ....
aevoia oi interest, roe quantities in
first hands, reported from the interior,
has nearly all been sold and paseed out
ot their hands and been shipped to
points for export. Prices have grad
vually declined contrary to the expecta
tions of many, and the large visible
supply reported on hand in eastern
grain centers, has tended to lower prices
considerable.
The crop reports from South " Aus
tralia, New Zealand and New South
. Wales, speaks for itself in the following:
Mail advices from Australia, says the
Northwetlern Miller, estimate the wheat
crop in South Australia, at 7,500,000
bushels, and the surplus for export at
612,500 quarters against 1,130,000 quar
rem ovvuniiy ouippcu la LOVl. Ifle
Victorian cron wan estim&fed at 13 37 .
000 bushels, leaving a surplus of about
700,000 quartern, or rather less than last
year's actual export. The New Zealand
crop promised to be fully tip to the aver
age, but in New South Wales the yield
o,uu,uw, leaving a aenciency to be
imported from the other colonies of
485,000 quarters. This means that Aus
tralasia will not have more than half as
much as she had last year to spare for
export. In the Argentine, on the other
hand, the surplus is now said - to be
equa, to laet year's, for, though the yield
per acre is small, there was a very
largely increased area.
In onr :own market prices are un-
cnangeu, aunougn it is doubtful if more
than 75 cents per bushel could be
realized for prime milling wheat.
Hay, ' oats and barley remains at
. former quotations. Potatoes are not
quite as plentiful as lust week, but there
is no change in prices. Eggs are a little
scarce, but for all of that prices in Port
land do not warrant more than 12V. in
14 cents per dozen. .'-''.-

mill feed is noticed, but the former

-y ,Tb Wedding Flower.
. The flowering of the "Wedding Flow.
er," at Kew this year, is an event of more
than ordinary interest, both to botanists
and horticulturists. It is the giant not
only of the genus Iris, but of the whole
natural order to which it belongs.
It is found wild only in a small island
off the east coast of Australia, thousands
of miles distant from the habitant of any
other Iris. While all other Irises may be
grown out of doors, or with a little pro
tection in winter, this one is happy only
when treated to subtropical conditions.
Its value in horticulture is due as much
to its stature and elegance of foliage as
to the size and beauty of its numerous
flowers.
The flowers last only on'e day, but there
axe so. many of them that the flowering
season extends over a long period.
This Iris is known far and wide as the
wedding flower. London Garden.
A College President's Chase.
- Harvard men who attended chapel one
morning last week were very much sur
prised to see President Eliot pursuing one
of the students as the men were 1 pa vine
the buildimr. Those in tha immAdiafA
vicinity heard a very short but animated
conversation. "Young man," said the
president to tne individual in question,
wno turned around surprised, "young
man, excuse me, but you have my hat
It was indeed true. In the confusion of
leaving the chapel the student had picked
up the wrong hat and was making away
with the president's best tile. Boston

Cleaning- a. Marble Statoe.
Commodore Perry's marble ' statue in
Cleveland, having acquired such a heavy
coating of smoke and soot as to render it
unsightly, was recently scrubbed, but
with the effect of making it look worse
than ever. The black came off the "high
lights," and the smudge is deepened in
the shadows. And, though the. brave old
sailor never did a mean thing in his life.
they now talk of giving him a coat of
whitewash. Cincinnati Times-Star. '
Women,
The common afflictlousof women arc sick-head-acbes,
indigestion and nervous troubles. They
srUe largely from stomach disorders. As Joy's

lars preparation, yon can see why it is more
effective than any other Barsaparilla in those
troubles. It is daily relieving hundreds. The
action is mild, direct and effective We have
