a he Wheat Markets.
The Portland local wheat market was a
trifle firmer Wednesday in response to
the BtreDgth exhibited in the Eastern
markets, but the failure of the Liver
pool markets to follow the speculators
of the New World prevented an advance
here, and prices remain steady at quota
tions. Receipts continue very heavy,
and ships are being loaded as rapidly as
they can be secured. There ia a com
plaint about a scarcity of cars in portions
of the uppor countrv. Selling has
started in more freely this week, and,
with the slow arrival of ships, exporters
are getting about all that they' can
handle to advantage. In spite of the
shortage of ships, the amount put afloat
to date is more than doable that of any
previous year, and the heavy movement
continues. One,. Portland firm Tuesday
finished loading a ship in Portland,
another in Tacoma, and will finish a
third one in Portland tomorrow.
The shipping. season promises to be a
long one, and will extend pretty well on
toward another year. Estimates made
by operators are to the effect that not
more than one-fourth of the crop has
bten sold, and of this amouDt not more
than two-thirds has reached tidewater.
Knglieh buyers are not so anxious for
wheat ns they were a short time ago,
and are inclined to . hold ofl' as long as
possible, in the hope that the brighten
ing prospects in other portions of the
world will have a tendency to weaken
the American market. Australian and
Argentine crop reports grow brighter
with each advice received from there,
and indications are favorable for India
becoming quite a heavy exporter. In
the fuce of these facts, growers are be
ginning to think that there is a quite a
large element of chance in keeping 80c
wheat in the granaries. Two cargoes
finished loading yesterday, and two
more will finish today,
Thursday the prices - for wheat in
Portland were: Walla Walla, 80c;
bluestem 81 to 82; valley 82 to 83c per
bushel.
- On Wednesday May wheat was not eo
-eagerly sought for in Chicago as it has
been for some days, the consequence
being a widening of the spread dhring
the morning to SsC December, which
closed yesterday at 94?s 94 ,-c, started
with buyers at 9495c, and steadily
advanced to 95,'uc. Offerings up to this
time had been comparatively scarce, but
at that price some of the large commis
sion houses sold freely,' and the reaction
to 95c ensued. The prediction of rain
for Illinois, Indiana and Missouri had
eomo effect on the decline, as did the
report that foreigners, particularly tbs
French, were reselling at the seaboard.
At these figures, however, the demand
again improved, and the market became
quite strong.
Liverpool closed ll.?;d higher, which
added to the firmness, as did the heavy
. exports, 619,000 bushels, of which 173,
OC0 bushels was in flour. The market
was further advanced on liberal pur
chases by one of the houses which had
eoW freely on the early bulge, supposed
to be for local professionals, who re
placed part of a "long" line. Before
the advance was checked December had
' sold at 96c. New York reported 398,
000 bushels taken there yesterday, and
-43 loads today. Primary receipts showed
eoaie falling off, and were 327.000
busbela under those of la6t year.
The Continental markets ruled lower.
Paris wheat declined 510 centimes,
and flour was off 2030 centimes. Ant
werp was unchanged. No. 2 spring
wheat was ofiered 8c per bushel under
the December price to United Kingdom
ports without bringing in a response.
The fact brought the market down. Re
alization became quite free. The report
of the purchase of 205,000 bushels more
of No. 1 Northern at Dulutb, making
about 800,000 bushels in all destined for
this market, also had a weakening in
floence. December was selling at 95c
at the close.

NOVEL USE FOR TIDAL POWER.
Solar and Lnaar Attraction Hr
neaaed In a Small Way.'
Various plans have been suggested
at different limes for the utilization
of the energy developed' by the rise and
fall of the tides, but the intermittent
character of the power has usuallj' pre
vented any satisfactory solution of the
problem. There is, hov.-ever, one in
stance in which tide power has been
quite successfully applied in a very sim
ple manner. Along the river front at
Liverpool there is a tendency for the
accumulation of all silt against the
dock walls, requiring oeoasicnal dredg
ing for its removal. Instead of using
scoop dredges, this mu.'l is removed at
different perictla hy the use of tide
power ia the following manner:
Along the base of the tlcc walls is
laid a pipe, perforated villi holes, di
rected outward, this pipe being con
nected with the iiitci ior cv tho dock sys
tem, and suitable valves being provided
to permit or check ihc flow of wstt-r.
When the tide is very low. and conse
quently the head of water measured
from the s-arfaee in the docks is at its
greatest, a Er.cldcn opem'rg or the con
nection permits r, rn;.l fli:ihr:g action
of the water cscariug Ihrcug-h holes in
the pipe at the base ct" the walls, eeour
ing cut the mud and driving i"- out into
the river to be carried away. As the
tides at Liverpool average about 25
feet or more, it is evident that this sim
ple form cf dredging apparatus may be
very effective, and as the time chosen
for using it may be selected when the
supply of water is greatest, it does not
interfere with the regular use of the
docksL Ultimately economical forms
of power storage will render the equal
ization of tide power commercially
practicable, but at the present time this
example serves to demonstrate the fact
that solar and lunar attraction, as ex
pressed by the tides, have been har
nessed in a small way at least. Cai

Cork has long been known as a life-
saver, but in a recent invention it ap
pears in an entirely opposite guise. It
is claimed to be one of the surest rat
killers on the market. Its deadliness
is based on its capacity of expansion
when, in contact with fluids. The cork,
finely granulated, is mixed with a com
pound which is not only an irresistible
attraction for the palate of the rat.
but produces a raging thirst. This is
left about where the rodent loves to
gambol. When it is eaten, the rat goes
straight for the water, and immediate
ly grows too large for further useful
