MARKET REVIEW.
; ThvbodaY, April 7. 1892.
The wet, cool weather of the past
week has checked the trade of the city
somewhat, but for all that, business has
been quite satisfactory. There are no
material changes worthy of note, save a
decline in flour and a corresponding
drop in wheat. Portland's market is
very sluggish and a general complaint of
dullness for the season of the year.
In the grocery trade and general
prices there are no changes. Sugar is
very firm, produced by the combine,
and there is no telling what .the result
will be in the outcome, but it is expected
that prices -will rise higher than - they
have been during the past few months.
. The produce market is well supplied
with all kinds of vegetables. New
onions, radishes, lettuce, spinach and
asparagus is in fair supply from home
growth, at reasonable rates.' Pie plant,
or rhubarb, has made its appearance in
eome of our fruit stands.
Eggs are quite plentiful at former
quotations. Gilt edge butter is in good
supply at 4650 cents per roll. Pota
toes are in good supply at 4560 cents
per sack.
The wool market is slumbering as
usual. Buyers are not in it yet, as they
say. There is no sale in Eastern mar
kets but a disposition to let wool alone
for the present, as they are afraid to
touch it on the present uncertainty. It
is thought, however, that by the 1st of
July there will considerable activity in
the markets.
Mill feed is short of supply but for
mer prices are maintained. Timothy
hay is plentiful in market at a decline
in price. Wheat hay is scarce.

per bushel. Seed wheat finds ready sale
at $1.00 per bushel. Corn in sacks $1.20

The fundamental mistake out of which
new the gloomy doctrines of the older
theorists was in measuring the possibili
ties of production by what they knew of
oil culture. Science had not revealed
to them that, aside from proper tempera
ture and moisture, the essential factor
in vegetable production is plant food;'
that this may be given to the plant with
out the aid of the soil; that what they
understood by soil fertility is a compara
tively unessential factor of agricultural
production; that, in short, the possibili
ties of the food supply in the future are
measureless. Professor Atwater in Century.
Tho Cabman Was Afraid. .'
Mr. Walter Besant tells the following
story of a disputed cab fare: "A friend
of mine drove from Piccadilly to some
place in the suburbs outside the radius.
On getting down he tendered three shil
lings and sixpence for his fare this was
a little over the proper fare. The driver
wanted five shillings. The passenger re
fused. Td like to fight you for it,' said
the driver. 'The very thing cried my
friend, who had never in his life put on
a boxing glove, and- was almost as ig
norant as Mr. Pickwick even of the fight
ing attitude. 'The very thing! Capital 1
Well have the fight in the back garden,
my brother will look on, hold the stakes
and see fair play.' The cabman got
down slowly';
" 'I was pleased,' continued the nar
rator, 'to discover that he appeared al
most as much afraid as I was myself,
perhaps if that was possible even
more. He followed into the back gar
den, where there was a lovely little bit
of- turf, quite large enough for practical
purposes. I placed my five shillings In
my brother's hands, took off my coat and
waistcoat and rolled up my sleeves, all
with an appearance of cheerful alacrity.'
'Now, my friend,' I said, 'I am ready as
soon as you are.' The anxiety of the
moment was, I confess, very great. But
it decreased as I watched the man's face
express successively all the emotions of
bounce, surprise, doubt, hesitation and
abject cowardice. 'No,' he said, 'gimme
the three and six; I know your tricks,
both of you. I've been done this way
before.' And so, grumbling and swear
ing, ne drove away." .
