TAURUS ASCENDANT.
According to the reports from Chicago
sources, the cattle market ia liable to
sharp advances. In fact, these advances
are already began. The laek of feed
tbroogh Nebraska and some of the other
inter-river states (if we may coin the
phrase to apply to that section between
the Mississippi and the Missouri) caused
the forcing to market of everything that
could possibly be put on the market.
Besides this the low prices caused many
stock growers to' get discouraged, and in
consequence thousands of cows and
calves were slaughtered. The result of
this is that the visible cattle supply
available for beef is 2,000,000 short in
the United States. The long prevalence
of low prices, followed by suddenly
made good ones, will cause still a fur
ther destruction of cows by those anx
ious to realize on them.
From this it is almost a certainty that
the price of beef cattle is to not only ad
vance, but that the price will remain
high for a number of years. It will
take eight or ten years, perhaps more,
to increase our herds to the limit where
the supply will more than equal the de
mand, and, indeed, it is possible that
beef will never again be as low in this
country as it has been in the past six
. years. Cattle can no longer be raised
under the old conditions ; the ranges are
going, many of them already gone, and
the day when the cowboy, shall cease to
clank his spurs on the wide prairies is
fast approachirjg. The country is being
settled, the wild grasses destroyed, and
between the two the conditions of cattle
raising on this coast will gradually ap
proach those in the East. They will be
raised on tame grasses in enclosed fields.
In the meanwhile the natural growth
of the country in ten years will add
nearly as many millions to our popula
tion, so that our market will receive
consumers amounting to 12 per cent of
our present population. This change is
going to be of immense benefit to the
Pacific coast, because it will cause event
nally the utilization of the immense
Snake river plains, the vast regions of
- Southeastern Oregon, of Nevada, and of
the other regions lacking in rainfall
It will cause the adoption of systems by
which water can be stored and the
barren plains irrigated. The vast sage
brush plains are peculiarly adapted to
the growing; of alfalfa and the raising of
stock. We predict that the Snake river
plains will in the next twenty years be
one of the greatest cattle-raising regions
of the world.
Putin alfalfa; one acre will support
as much stock as 160 acres of sage brush
lands will otherwise, and the millions of
acres of the Northwest will find in
furnishing food for stock the one thing
for which they are especially adapted
If the figures given by some of the
Portland papers are correct, it is high
time the moral wave struck that city
One of the papers states that there are
' 3,000 women of a certain class in Port'
land. The census gives that city a pop
ulation of 75,000. Dividing this between
the sexes, there are 37,509. Dividing
this again by two, and we have in round
numbers 19,000, which would give prac
tically the number of women above the
age of 21 years. Allowing for those un
der 21 who may need the shelter of a
refuge home, and alBO for those above a
certain age, and the number of women
In Portland will Lot exceed 15,000. It
will be .seen from this either that our
Portland contemporary grossly exagger
ates the number in ' giving it as 3,000, or
elee 20 per cent ef the female population
of the city is included in the class
named. We do not believe the per
centage will exceed one-fourth of the
number named.
An exchange has a long editorial to
prove the assertion made in its head
line "The College Man a Power." Wi
heartily agree with our contemporary
that the college man is a power, if the
light college man is selected. That
college education is a great benefit to
some men cannot be denied ; but it is
to those men who have the intellect to
bear cultivation. The fact that a man
has graduated from college does not nee
ssarily prove that he has ability or
force of character. Some college men
are a "power;" some men who never
saw the inside of a college are also
power, and often a greater power. This
latter class, if given the benefit of a col
lege education, would no doubt have
reached as high places in the world, but
that they reached them without the
college education' shows that the power
lay in the men, and not in the college.
The city and other elections held in
the East give "a pretty good idea as to
how the elections will go next year.
Everywhere the republican majorities
are larger than ever before known.
Even the old democratic stronghold, St.
Louis, was captured by them. Democ
racy is not a hardy plant, its tender
twigs are susceptible to frosts, both late
and early, and it bears fruit only once in
twenty or thirty years. The last crop
was a peculiar one, being the result of a
graft of figs npon thistles, resulting in a
fruit pleasant neither to the sight, smell
nor taste. .
"Yesterday," says the Sun, "the first
importation of op'ium in fifteen years
was entered and the duty paid at the
Portland custom house." The reduc
tion of the duty has made the business
unprofitable, and the government will
now get some revenue from the importa
tion of the death-dealing drug.
Postmaster-General Biesell has been
superseded by the new appointee, Ex-
Congressman Wilson of West Virginia,
who has taken the office and is now in
full charge of mails. It is to be hoped
he will do better at getting the mails
around on time than he did in getting
up a tariff bill.
THE MARKETS.
Friday, April 5th. There is but little
to say about the market or market con
ditions, because of the fact that the sea
son for marketing farm products is not
yet opened. Some little wheat remain
over in the hands of producers from
last year, but , the aggregate quantity is
not large.
Wheat has crawled up steadily Bince
last fall, until it has reached 38 cents ;
not a satisfactory figure, but much bet'
ter than last fall prices. The outlook,
as taken from Clapp's reports and esti
mates for 1895, is rather brighter than
f-r the past two years, as far as produc
tion is concerned. There will be a short
crop in the United States. At the same
time our foreign market is getting a
very black eye from the tariff systems
adopted by countries which we have
heretofore supplied. Italy has imposed
a duty on wheat of 36.7 cents a bushel
Spain added 9 cents more last year, so
the tariff is now 55. Sweden raised the
duty 13 cents. Germany has levied a
duty of 33 tents. In fact, nearly all the
old world countries have placed a duty
on wheat, that will make itself felt in
smaller consumption abroad, and con
sequent decreased demand.
As to vegetables, this market is pretty
well supplied. Young onions, radishes
lettuce, etc., are in abundance.
Eggs and butter are plentiful, cheap,
and the latter of extra good quality.
We give quotations as follows:
Wheat 38 cents per bushel.
Oats 75 cents per 100 pounds.
Barley 55 cents per 100 pounds.
Flour $2.25 per pound; retail $2.50
Chop Feed $15.00 per ton.
Bran $10.00 per ton.
Potatoes 40 cents per sack.
Chickens $2.50 to $3.00 per dozen.
Eggs 8 cents per dozen.
Butter 30 to 4Q cents per roll.
Wheat Hay $9 per ton.
Oat Hay $8 pet ton.
Timothy $12 per ton.
Wool 8 cents for best grade.
Wool Bags 39 cents.
Sheep Pelts 5 cents per pound.
Hides 6 to 6 per pound.
