JUDGE NELSON'S
DECISION.
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge Bays : "I wish to deal fairly and
honorably with all, and when I find an
article that will do what it is recom
mended to do, I am not ashamed to say
so. I am acquainted with Dr. Vander
pool (having been treated by him for
cancer), and have used his blood medi
cine, known as the S. B. Headache and
Liver Cure, and while I am 75 years old,
f. and have used many pills and other
remedies for the blood, liver and kid
neys, I must say that for a kidney tonic
in Brights disease, and as an alterative
for the blood, or to correct the action of
the stomach and bowele, it is a very su
perior remedy, and beats anything I
ever tried. J. B. Nelson,

MARKET REVIEW.
Summary of Trade and Business for the
Current Week.
4
Thursday, Nov. 1. There has been
an increased activity in business circles
during the past week, and the markets
have shown more life and a healthier
condition than anv former one for the
season. Interior buyers have been
plentiful and purchases have been large,
at satisfactory prices.
Money has been easier and has circu
lated more freely amongst the people,
thereby enabling those who have been
carried by the merchants to square up
accounts and cancel old scores.
There is a slight change in quotations
in the grocery line. Sugars have de
clined X.a cent per B since our last
report, and the market is not firm
Coffee is firmer, an advance oi. a cent
has taken place within the last few
days. . v- ; . : t.: ;
Loose Muscatel raisins of the new crop
have put in an appearance and are
quoted at 8 cents per Jb jn sacks. Dried
fruits are firm and have an upward
tendency. , A slight advance is noticed
in prunes and dried apples, with a better
inquiry. The market is very steady in
eggs with a fair daily delivery at 27 4
cents per dozen.
Butter is in good supply and is more
plentiful. Extra .fresh roll we quote 50
cents to 55 cents per roll. Packed butter
is dull Bale at 35 to 40 cents per roll.
The poultry market has turned
little dearer, spring chickens sell at
$2.50 to $3.50 per doz. Old fowls, from
$3.50 to $4.50 per doz. The market is
entirely bare of turkeys, ducks and
geese.
In the produce lines, potatoes remain
steady on former quotations. Onions
are in fair supply and prices are some
what off. The market will not shade
any over 1 cent per fi. The prices of
other vegetables are nominal as the
supply is good. In green fruits there is
no change to note.
The beef and mutton market is steady.
It is said that the American dressed
beef and storage company of Troutdale
have a corner on the meat question. If
that be the case and the trust have the
control of the market, there will be no
change in prices. Our ' quotations re
main unchanged. '
' PRODUCE HABEIT. ' , .
The wheat situation is as feverish as
reported last week. Quotations have
ranged from 63 cents down to 59 for No.
1, wheat and 55 to 57 for No. 2. A drop"
of 2 cents occurred on Tuesday and re
covered slightly the next day. Portland
markets report a steady, quiet decline
in quotations. Valley is quoted at 1.22,
and Eastern Oregon at 1.12)4 per cental,
with large receipts. The Dalles quotes
today, .61 per bushel for No. 1, .53 for
No. 2, and .55 for No. 3. The oat and
barley market is very sluggish. Prices
are unchanged. . The hay supply is very
large, with large quantities in first
hands. '
WIIEAT FF.ODUCT AKD REQUIREMENTS" '
Estimates, which are based on the
actual situation of the breadstuffs mar
ket in Europe, reveals the fact that she
will require 250,000,000, bushels of wheat
to carry her over to the harvest of 1893.
India has already exported her surplus
of 25,000,000 bushels. The Bulgarian
provinces, Romanian and German Em
pire have been called on for their limited
surpluses. There are about 25,000,000
bushels for export in the southern hem
isphere, which after deducting the above
amount-50,000,000 leaves a requirement
of 175,000,000 which must come from the
United States and the Canadas. The
United States last estimate, just received,
is that her product for 1892, is 520,000,-
000 bushels, and Canada's surplus for
export, is 15,000,000 bushels. It will be
readily seen that the demand on the
United States and our northern neighbor
will not fall short of 200,000,000 bushels
to be drawn from us. The West Indies,
and some of the South American coun
tries, together with the constant dra'n
from us in flour for the China trade, will
reduce our surplus 25 or 30,000,000 bush
els. Our reserve requirement for a
twelvemonth, which is for seeding,
bread, and mechanical purposes, is not -
less than 370,000,000 bushels, so there is
only left of our surplus 150,000,000 bush
els for export. Every bushel we export
in excess of our extra surplus must be
drawn from our reserve, and to do this
at the phenominal low prices, quof.ble
in San Francisco, at $1.31 per cental, a
point not known since 1888. '
Mark Lane Express says : The low
prices current are greatly affecting the
deliveries of. wheat, farmers having 15
per cent, less and delivering 30 per cent,
less. Millers are bidding low for im
ported wheat, knowing the greater part
of the American surplus will come to
Great Britain, as France will need only
one-fifth and Holland only one-third
what they needed in 1891.
REAL ESTATE.
The real estate dealings of the week
have been more frequent. The inquiry
for properties has been by a class of
persons whe desire to make permanent
investment in city property. The scar
city of vacant dwellings has had some
thing to do with it, but the feeling that
the early completion of the cascade
locks will make this city the head of
navigation for the commerce of the In
land Empire is the stimulating influence
which prompts investments in this
section. The volume 'of transfers has
been in excess of the former week, and
the considerations have been larger.
City property . is the most sought after,
although fruit lands are in increased
demand near by.
Following Their Old Captain.
Pendleton Tribune. The democratic
party in Oregon seems to be like a ship
at mid sea and without latitude or longi
tude. Six years ago Governor Pennoyer
was the idol. - In the days agone he was
the statesman without a peer, but when
he was compelled to desert the rotten
hulk of democracy because he could not
afford to ride in the steerage and partake
of the fare that was tendered him, he
was shamefully abused by the entire
crew. But it seems they could not man
the craft without him, and today they
are hanging on to the drifting wreck and
reaching out for the governor's new boat
that was launched at Roseburg on last
October, and urging the captain to take
them on board.
A Flatlst.
Review. A vote for Weaver is a vote
against silver. . Weaver is a fiatist.: His
voice has always been heard in advocacy
of paper money against the coin dollar.
He might boom the paper mills of the
cdnntry, but he would not . and could
not do anything for the silver miner.

Annoying State ,of Affairs in Chicago

ELEVATORS CRAMMED TO THE EVES
Railway Companies Fall out Because
Cars are not Returned.
MEW YORK AS BAD OFF AS CHICAGO
Pushing on a Bope Which Must
Fulled Across the Atlantic From
the Kew YotIi End.
he
Chicago, Nov. 3. There are 10,000
loaded grain cars in Chicago and there
is absolutely no p'ace to unload them.
Every elevator is crammed to the eaves,
few of the shippers are inclined to pay '
the rate and a majority of the boats do
not care to take grain at any price.' The
reason for the lack of lake transporta
tion is that every elevator from Toledo
to Buffalo seems to be as full as those in
Chicago, and vessels have no way of dis
charging. Some of the shippers are '
compelled to huriy their grain forward,
but even by rail they began meeting
stumbling blocks yesterday. One prom
inent road refused 250 cars of grain be
cause the shippers wanted it routed over
a trunk line from which no guarantee
could be obtained of prompt return of
cars. Apparently New York is as badly
blocked as Chicago, and . grain cars
through to that point might as well be.
run into east river as far as their return
is concerned. East-bound lines from
Chicago are beginning to hoard their
cars as a miser does his gold. If they
took every car of the traffic offered them
they might easily see the time within
a few weeks when all their cars would
be used as storage ware houses on trunk
line side tracks. Exactly this state of
affairs is coming about in a less degree
on western roads. In spite of their best
attempts cars are being piled up in Chi
cago at a rate which will soon make the -
blockade of last year a very insignificant
affair. To move the blockade- from here
is exactly the same as pushing on the
Chicago end of a rope, the other end of
which is in New York city. From this
time on the rope must be pulled across
the ocean from the New York end. The
same state of affairs exists on the border
line of Mexico. The Mexicans are
clamoring for grain. Recent reports in
dicate great damage to their crops by
frost and hundreds of carloads of corn
are side tracked on the border because
Mexican roads can not or will not fur
nish cars for transfer.
The ' Old Parrot Cry.
R eview. In 1884 the democracy raised
the false cry of dishonesty against the
republicans. "Turn the rascals out," it
shrieked from one end of the country to
the other. Cleveland was elected. His
administration failed to find a single
penny -unaccounted for, it failed to find
a single "rascal." It turned out honest
men and put in ex-convicts, ex-vebels
and incompetents. Today, finding itself
shelled out of every position it baa
taken, it is resorting to the same old
parrot cry about dishonesty. t It wanta
a look at the books, although the books
are already open to the inspection of
the public. It pretends to be a party of
reform. In reality it is the party of
absconding state treasurers, Pan-Electric
scandals, rotten Tings and corrupt
city government. It would do well to
reform itself before setting itself up to
reform its betters.
New Smelter.
Boise City, Nov." 3. Judge J. W.
Huston returned today from Mineral,
where "he inspected the mine of the Mer-.
riam mining company.1 He says an 80
ton smelter is being constructed there to
replace one ' of rSO-ton capacity, which
was burned recently. The new smelter
will be ready to handle orein fourweeks.
