Aliout 4.000 tons hau been shipped, of which 'J.oOO tons was purchased nn'd'1,5001 tons put onboard and set alloat without salo. The hipping price for valley tnt Is 81.35 per oental; good WnlU Walla wheat la worth $1.23 to 81.30, and tho average of upper Co lumbia product for 1880 is said not to le available at over 81.10 per cental. Freights have advanced hero and at San Francisco. Wu aro told that wluat sella fur C2J eta per btulul at l'ugcne, at CO to 70 cU nt Albany, and that price at Salem ha o lately dropped to (17) eta pur bushel. Things aro uncertain. Ono thing la certain! If tho farm er all rush to sell wheat when there are no ships to carry it away, thu wheat market wilt wind up inn panic, which fact proUbly did not oocur to our friend "Importer.- The ship Francis Thorpe- has left hero for San Fran cisco to get a hlger rato than waa obtainable here. This la to be regretted. If the same prices were paid hciu as nt San Francisco this -would not happen. Thu Liverpool market shows firmer tend icy aud advance in price, which is, comfort iug. If freights wcro to-day a they were a year ago wheat would bo worth 85 eta at Salem, mid 15 eta i bushel moro in every place through this valley aud llaitof tho Mountains. Mr. Win. Wells, of iUiena Vista, writes uat The hop crop of this Slate is saved. The jality was never iwtter. Tho yield In aomo localities has U-en disappointing to thn grower, but, upon the whole, the crop is an average one." He adds that tho FakmkiI is now looked to as authority on thia mm ell aa other Jiroducb, which w shall hope to destine. A Lane county correspondent of a Portland journal sayst "The hop crop of thia county is harvested, somo of tho yards turning out light crops, many of them not averaging oer 400 to 000 tt per acre, Tho crop of 1877 w as the largest v cr raised in thia county, amount ing to about 800 bale. This year' crop is no larger than last year's oluutevr crop, and will not amount to over fiOOlialea. All the yards were well cultivated this year, but through neglecting cultivation last year and the diy weather of this j ear, the result Is a abort crop. It ia a noticeable fact that the yards that were well attendedto this year have not fallen but trifle below the ) ield of last year, and have moru thau an average jitld. The quality however is good. So far as we can learn, there is uothlug doing hero with the uow crop. )Uiyr are w altiug dsvelopjucuts, and to are hop growers.

If under present cjrcumsLuiccs we do not speak at length lure ttionso to your kind w clcomc, do not nttrihuto It to a lack of appreciation. Wo aro weaned olid covered with tho (lust of travel.

I expect that when wo shall have teen Oregon wo shall be atlo nt sijme future time to express of it an opinion exceedingly favorable. WJ havo seen Cali fornia and causht the California fever, and I expect we shall also take tho Oregon fever. I remember when it prevailed in Ohio thirty y tors ago, perhapsevenbeforesomahadthofever and have not yet recovered from it. Your valley would be called In any State a beauti ful country. You. as neonlo of the Pacific Coast, have a great future, n great work to dd, if you build up hero n country similar and cdual in population and power to that ot tho Atlantic fttatcs, by which our nation will con trol and virtually own the great Pnrifio Ocean, with its vast commerce and influence I bo lievo you will do this, ami am encouraged in thk belief by the evidonccs of thu growth of injlustry, education and temperance in the first town we have found in Oregon.

Faimxo, Committee FRANK BROTHERS' EXHIBIT OE AORICUL TURAIi IMPLEMENT. )r, Pacific Hum! Prcas. Frank Brothers, the well known dealers In agricultural implements, havo an exhibit nt tlio Mechanics' fair which docs much credit and contributes much to the interest of those who enjov tho industrial features of tho fair. Tho display is oho not without elements of art. for tho implements mid machines aro marked by thu perfection of mechanical work mid turn tasto in finish and decoration. Thu firm occu pies much moro tloor spaco than last year, and turir cxniuie is TiruiKjreioiiaiciy icpicio Willi valunblo material. Tho leading Implement on exhibition is tho Wnltcr A. Wood s now string binding har es ter. It is one of the Incwcst triumphs of in vention iu the ingathering of crops. It cuts, fathers and binds tho grain, leaving it in lundlcs ready to lio stacked ot taken to tho thresher. Tho material uso is twine iustoad of wlro, which was first used and found' objec tionable to thresher and miller. Tills ma chine is shown at tho fair with tho binding oppllanco in operation, nnd visitors stand long to sea tho mechanism gather tho grain and tio it on n knot. It works liko n charm, and many of our readers will doubtless enjoy a brief description of Its methods. Tho operation of tho binder is entirely auto matic, and may dcscrilied a foliousi An tho grain enters tho receptacle it is acted upon bv a packer and held by a comprcsecd tovcr until sulllcicnt has been accumulated to form a bun- die of required slzo; tho compressing lover then recedes, throwing tho packer out of gear and tho binding mcchanlsmiii to gear; tho bind ing nnn then passes tho band around the, bun dle, the knot is tied nnd the twine cut ono end being securely retained, tho binding arm then recedes, nml a discharging arm gently but ellcctually deliver thobouiid budle clear of tho machine. Tho twine binding harvester has liccn widely introduced, into California grain fields during the present harvest, aud it'has given most gen eral satisfaction, it Is regarded by many farmers as a solution of many vexed questions In grain gathering, and It bids fair to supersede tho header, which la n useful machine. Farm er can commence cutting grain with the har vester quito threo week bufotc tlio header knlfo can touch it Secondly, tho largo sav ing of graini every whero it being w ell known by every farmer using a header that nt times the w onto is enormous. Thirdly, that thu crop when cut by tho harvester, bound, staked and allowed to ripen nn dry, every grtilu can bo got out by tho thresher, and this is not the case u lieu It is cut I y tlio Header, ami at nines al low ed to heat in tho stack. Frank Brothers' exhibit nho contains other famous machine of Walter A. Wood' maun focturc, which nro also in motion, and their mechanism thus perfectly sho-n. Ono ia Wood's new iw coping rako reaper, with fivo rakes controlled by automatic gears. Notable among tho features peculiar to this machino nro tho controllability of tlio rakes, quality of work, easy of management, and adaptation to oil kinds mid conditions of gr.iin. Another standard machine is tho Walter A, Wood's enclosed gear mow er, which bin lieeli uxil three seasons, nnd has become eery mpular. It combines thu best qualities of tho "eel floa ted Walter A. Wood Iron franiomowcr,"with many now and ndvauUige-ous feature entirely peculiar to itself. Its superior cutting qualit ies, adaptation to all conditions of grasi ond surface, lightness ot draft ami stillness of operation hao been full demonstrated. In addition to tho htrvcatiug machinery, Frank Hmthcas have a full lino of plows of most lieautiful couetruetioii and finish. Includ ing the sulkv ciing and single plows made by II.

Frank, senior incmlier of the firm of Frank Ik other, is nuo of the mauagcra of the Mechanics' Institute, and his exhibit shows that he practice what ho proiclic about mak ing tlio fair entertaining and inttiuctiie. The firm, which liasn flourishing branch at Port land, ha aehiuved a most honorable position in tho implement trade by Its manifestation of true i-iiternrito and iinriidit dcaliuirs.
