notable examples of whisker-growing in

I'Iiiday, Oct. 1,. There has boon a j ft!st, i ,me ()f tl,0 coiintrh-!. of the
fair local trade in the city tho past week, old world which nro still despotic and
Jpeeial !
with a marked improvement noticeable
The streets have, assumed thoir former
appearance of activity and an old time
feeling is prevalent amongst business
men. The movement of produce has
had an easing cflect in business circles
with an accompanying disposition to
reach out for larger transactions. Prices
of staple merchandise continue steady.
In general dry goods there is a healthy
tone of trade, likewise in groceries and
provisions, which with tho easier finan
cial condition, has given an assured con
fidence to all branches of business.
Tho produce market is steady with
few exceptions. Eggs are dearer and
very scarce, 25 cents per dozen was paid
today for a small lot. Tho tendency is
for another advance as tho market is
very firm. The market for Al gilt edge
butter is stifT and 00 cents per roll was
paid today for some extra fine Jersey
butter.
The poultry market is in a declining
condition as tho offerings have been more
frequent. Home demand is limited and
purchases arc mostly made for the Port
land market, which has gone from bad
to worse. Turkeys are still quoted at
9 cents per pound. Ducks and geese are
heavy on the market and quotations
are off. ,
Vegetables There is a free delivery of
all kinds, and may be quoted ae follows:
Cabbage ?4c per lb; potatoes, Oregon,
50C0c per sack ;new onions, lc per
lb; tomatoes, 2o&33c per box; green
corn, 10c per doz ; Oregon celery, 3550c.
Green fruit in abundance in the
market. Apples are sold at 2o40 cents
per box and pears at 3540 per box and
quinces 4(35 cents per lb.
The hay market is well supplied.
Timothy is quoted at $12 per ton, oat
hay at $10.
Cereals Oats are in liberal supply at
90 cts to $1 per cental. Barley is weak
on the market at 05 cents per cental.
The wheat market is depressed, and
while tho offerings are large, sales are
limited, as the markets abroad have a
weakening tendency. London reports
wheat cheaper to sell and the market
inactive. San Francisco call board? re
port May deliveries weak at $1.22l2 per
cental. Portland reports a repetition of
former quotations which range from 85
to 872 per cental for Eastern Oregon
and 95 to 97j;. per cental for valley.
The Dalles market can be said to be
fairly open and quotations range from
45 to 47 cents per bushel, the latter
being at the mill for Klickitat. The
Columbia wheat company quote 40 cents
per bushel as the highest today at the
wharf, a price within a shade of the
Portland quotation on dock.
The wool market is lifeless and S per
cent to 10 is reported as the quotation.

Prof. W. O. Atwater, writing in the
September Forum, claims tlmt the
maxim "the le.st is the cheapest does
not apply to food. The best food in
the sense of that which lb sold at the
highest price is rarely tho most eco
nomical for people of health. The
food that isbi't fitted to the real wants
of the user may be the very kind which
bupplies the mo it nutriment at the
lowest co .t. itotiud steak at l." cents

energy, is just as digestible and is
fully us nutritive, as tenderloin at .10.
Mackerel has as hif,'i nutritive value
us salmon and costi from an eighth to
half asmui'li. Oysters are a delicacy.
If one can alVortl them tlieiv is no rea
son for not hav ing them, but '-'.'i cents
invested in a pint would bring only
twenty-nine grams. a')out an ounce, of

for 420 grain- of' protein and i;i,"D0 cal

three times as much as it does his em

extremely military. There recently
occurred nt IJarr, lit' Alsace, n trial
which. must have been very amusing
to nn American who might have wit
nessed it, if a man's liberty had not
been in jeopardy.
One day not long ngo, wiyn the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, in the street!) of
Harr, a laborer, who was engaged In
loading a wagon, whistled cheerfully
tit his work. As ho was thus engaged
a gendarme, or military policeman,
came within hearing. The workman,
apparently preoccupied, kept op with
his whistling.
"1 arrest you," said the gendarme,
coining up and putting his hand on the
workingmnn'fi shoulder.
"What for?'' asked the man, aston
ished. "For seditious whistling. You have
been whistling the 'Marseillaise.'"
The "Marseillaise" being the French
national nir, and a revolutionary air
besides, is forbidden in German Al
sace. But the workman exclaimed: "Oh,
no, you are mistaken! It isn't the
'Marseillaise' at all that I am whist
ling, but the 'March of tho Brunswick
Hussars.' 1 used to bclofng to the
Brunswick Hussars, and that was our
regimental tune."
The gendarme, who was a German,
and thought he knew one tune from
another, took the workman under ar
rest, and in due time he was brought
into court charged with disloyalty in
whistling a seditious air in a public
place.
Both the gendarme and the accused
told their stories very confidently, and,
as the workman was reputed an honest
and loyal man, the court was very
much perplexed between the two men
and the two tunes.
In this predicament the court ad
journed to the council-room adjoining,
and, calling in the accused and the ac
cuser in turn, made the workman
whistle the "March of the Brunswick
Hussars," and the gendarme the "Mar
seillaise." Each did his best; but the tunes
proved in the ear of the court to be so
much unlike that it was regarded as
improbable that the gendarme could
have been mistaken.
The accused was therefore sent to
prison: but his general bearing, and,
above all, his excellent whistling, had
affected the court so favorably that he
was sentenced to only three days' imprisonment.
