The current price is IIMSper cental, but 81.47 has lucn jiald and oirered in the country, and Salem mills are actually buying whatever has been oflerod from the surrounding country of late, at 75 cent it bushel ut to th farmer, vhich, with lacks, storage and freight! addeil is on the basis of (Loll per cental iu Port land. These gentlemen have 400,000 bushels torcd, and if they are willing to pay that rHco (hey hiyv confidence in the future of tbo "matket. At Ktigcnei Albany, Corvallla, nd all other places South, uMaUnt front market, Utile Wheat baa yet been sold, farmers being Unwilling to part with their grAiit at the ox Ixeiricly tow prieei liclcloforo Offered. The Imly wheat tclliug lias been in places near railaml, wlicro lower freights icavo tho farmer a fair figure for his crop. The cause of the sudden rise Iu Portland is tlue to the sudden decline in freights iu San Krancisco, as appears from our notations from the Commercial Herald, which assert that freights aro and will bo abundant and no fear of scarcity need bo felt. Another cause the sharp rise of breadstull'a iu Liverpool. The permanence of the market I" matter of uncertainty, of course, but we notice iu Chi cago quotations that wheat is ipioted higher for NoveinU-r delivery than lor October anil hinder for December than XoveniW. We have 110 hesitation in believing that farmers can all'ord to bold on to their wheat until freights decline, which wo predict will not 1 distant, anil w ill procwl to give our reasons, taking the San rVaucisoo market as a criterion, because what all'ects that market directly Inlluence our own. Aud here wo promise that wo aro alout to place before the readers of the Kakmkh fact they will learn from no other source and that no other journal published In Oregon ba tho ability aud enter. prise to furnish, or has tho interest of the farmer at heart enough to care to give) fact that are not arrived at without an intimate knowledge of the situation, considerable hard labor, aud an earnest desire to licncfltoursub. kcriU'n who are the what grower of tbo North I'acilio. To commence, we make the lold aasertiou tliat t'te tonnage on the way to San Krancisco . is larger than was ever known Ixfore, We have stated this before, but we state it again iu a more full aud unqualified seuae. We ailso asset t that the surplus California has for export ha been overestimated, aud the same is true, iu a leaser t'egree pcrhan, of Oregon. Charterer iu Sail Francisco have, and hare Jud difficulty to load their (hip, except at such prices paid for wheat oa do not corres pond at common quotations of charter rates. In fact, chartcrratcathcrohavobccnnomin.il, speculative, and many of tho reported char ters hare doubtless been humbugs. Looking over tho different S.,V. commercial papers, In cluding thoso evidently in the interest of high freights, wo find there is no suchtliingaa icarcity of frcighta, 1ms not been, and cannot Ikj In the future. A list of vc.iscla known to bo due at a certain dnto allowed now duo in that ort vessels of over 70,000 toiu carrying capacity, and with a favorablo wind these vessels iriglit drop into port nt any time, when iiatmally another sharp jump iu price of wheat is certain to take place and corresoniliiig decliuo iu freights, besides tho prospect of n rtecin m hint at Liverpool nt any time is not bad. It mint not be lost tight of that though the crop in Oregon nnd California is large, only a portion will be at tho command of holders of khlpa, on account of the rating prices of wheat being no low, which will make fannera hold 011. For instance, hero in Oregon wo have report that sheda have been built alongside of warehouses in the country, from which wo can infer that farmers are making cll'orts to keep their wheat in hand until prices favor them, llcsidca this tho warehouse capacity of this valley baa been greatly increaxed since last year. Wo nlro learn that farmers' dcliv- erica In Oregon have about ceased, so it may bo taken for granted that tho marketable sur plus for tho Willamette valley is already In store, ready for instant tdiipmcnt, on tho various line of transportation. Taking n stroll around Portland wharves and ware houses any ono can seo that there la a great deal of atorago left hero yet, though many in terior dealers are holding wheat in this city. That Oregon can, and already lias stored the big crop of 1880, seems somewhat strange, but wo aro a little fnclincd to believe that tho first estimate of 8,000,000 bushels made by would-be shippers, is n slight overestimate. It la their interest to mako a full estimate, so wo will not find fault with them for briny ovcrsatigiiinc. It will harldly tako so many ships as they nay, to carry away an surplus, and unless prices sharply improve: half tlio number they talk of will do, as tho wheat will be held in store, Tho probabilities are that the Oregon surplus will not reach 8,000, 000 bushels and if it docs, according to Drad street estimates, only 20,000,000 will bo the California surplus, and wo venture to bclicvo that this is a full flguro for that itato and that 000,000 tout ia all the shipping California will need, instead of the 1,000,000 talked of, Ho lievlng that a fair estimate, we shall now pro ceed to 111 in up the cose on that basis. Wo sum the tonnage question for California according to the most reliable figures obtain able n few day ago aa follows 1 Wheat ship sailed, flour... 13,140 sh't tons. " " " wheat... 85,428 " " In port chartered, about... 110,000 " " " disengaged " ... 21,000 ' On tho way. known " ...310,000 " " " " unknown " ... CO.OOO ' " From I'acilio porta, to nail within 00 days, " ...00,000 " ToUl 070,608. All the abovo may bo considered certain, except the last two items, which aro only fair estimate of vessel that may arrive within the next four month of which we have no poaltivo Information. What we therefore claim is, that while tho wholo California sur plus for 18S0 will not exceed 000,000 ton of wheat of 2,000 lb each, the arrivals that may expected within tho next four month aggre gate 080,000 tons, which is 60,000 tons more than all positive requirements for six mouth to come, and unless pryio of wheat advance to suit the California grower the tonnage sur plus of that State will equal tho entire needs of Oregon, and in any caso, with what is cer tain to 10 available to the CoIuiuWa river direct, we need not doubt that beforo the seasou cuds there will be moro tonnage than wo can use, for it ha alway been true that any surplus of tonnage iu California has been, iu some way or other, always available for Orcgotii Vn haVO shown above that Within four lilouttis time we may exiiect vessels lb! arrive In San Francisco with tounago capably more than sullicient to carry away all lbVurplusof that State, taking it for granted that farmers will sell all their wheat at theso low- prices, which they are not by any means likely to do. Now, we inquire, what are they going to do with tonnage to arrive after tho middle of February! While we are about it wo may aa well show that tills port, at this time, is little, if any, behind last year iu tonnage supply. 1 he Mer chants Kxchange bulletins in l'ortlaud show tho follouiugi I.ast year, Vessel on the way 17 " iu port '-M " already sailed,,, 0 This year. I'J ft Total 40 44 Vesael aie certain to arrive all tho season, a heretofore, and this, added to the surplus tonnage supply Sail Francisco will have to send us, make the tumble ot freights to 40 more proliablo than not. It looks to us very much as if plain figure give the freight "loom" a very black eye. A friend of our calls our attention to the fact that exporter are alway against produ cer, and we confc that thi has always Wen a query with us, tho solution of which un doubtedly lie in the fact that ship can le had on contract, without money being paid for them, for the freight money is paid at tho end of tho voyage, while it require cash iu hand to buy wheat. In other word, tkey can gamble on tounago and become lars in tho wheat market much easier than to do a fair and legitimate businca in buying aud holding wheat. Now, the question is, what shall the Oregon fanner do? We shall proceed to tell him what he can do, and what wo think he xnol'LU not do. It ia a little strange, but true, that the would-be shipper, both in this State and Cal ifornia, U more anxious to buy wheat at f 1.43 than ho was two weeks ago to buy it at 81.35. Our readers can form their own conclusions. Tho Oregon fanner now is rjipposetl to havo his wheat carefully housed m some line of transportation. Wo aro inf rmed that money to buy tho Oregon crop ia v aitlng idle, and that advances can bo had on t at ten per cent, interest; then, tho farmer c.11 , If ho chooses to spcculato on tho future, g t an advance to answer his needs nnd leave h s wheat in ware house. Tho farmer Hilori.t) .or allow himself to bo deceived nlxjut the frel ;ht market when ho has such facts before hitiiJnnd we belicvo theso fiirurcs, given above, aa-within Itounds. "Live and let live," is the Lilly truo policy. It lias nevir been to our advantage when freights have been bo low as (0 cnuso tho ship owner a loss. Wo should boj Milling to pny tho freighter n fair profit, and probably a ves sel can niioru 10 conic to tlio LoUunbi 1 river for n freight to Liverpool from any port in tho world if it can command a "ij freight to that port. hen wo havo tlio lowest wheat mar ket ever known and nro called on to pay 80 shillings freight, tho boot ia loo much on the other leg.

Supposing tho Liverpool market shows no further Imnrovcmcnt, and we bring freight down toliOsin two inoitln,which is still a big freight rate, thai is a gain of over 10 cents n bushel to tho farmers, two thirds of a million dollar on tho surplus of this valley.

Wc refer to tho prico list for general market this week, and it will bo sera that dried fruit has had a drop, owing to largo supplies from this year crop forced on the market, which will probably Improve later. CALIFORNIA MARKETS. Tho Commcrical Herald givei tho following resume of the markets for tho week ending October, Mi Tho week under review has been ono of con siderable animation iu the wheat market, causing a liandsoino advanco iu rates over those heretofore ruling. Prices as our reader well know dropped too low to remain long, and it is soouicwhat surprising that so few of our merchants embraced tho opportunity to lay in stock when good shipping grades were readily obtainable at tl,. 10 percental. Thus far In tho season very littlo wheat has been bought upon speculation. Truo number of our largest wheat grower chartered vessels early at low rates and began vigorously to ship otf their big crops, aud havo to this day followed up this courso, chartering vessels every few days and thus getting their surplus crop alloat on route to the Kuropean market) fortunately for them has this course been reasolutely pur sued, and they aro likely to reap bountifully for so doing. The cargoes thus early shipped can now bo desposed of at large protlts. One California cargo that wo know of sold alloat at 41s Oil tho lowest sslo of the season and the samo cargo to-day ia worth 40s 6d47s. Tho wheat movement is now.quito active, nec essarily so from the largo fleet of ships on tho berth, llarlcy continue in good demand, but at low prices, purchases chiefly for Kastcrn account. Flour has advanced during tho week, notably F.xtras; low grades Superfine can yet le brought at 83 per Itarrel. The pi cseut spot demand for China is light. Com and oats are without notablo change. Ilcani continuo to bo neglected owing to the non-arrival of new crop lima. Hops do not move off briskly, as yet many giowcrs are unwilling to sell under S3 cent. Hide aro lower. Wool moves off more freely, the fall clip sell ing nt low figures. Tallow sells readily at old rates. Honey is In supply and in request, lluttcr continues to be scarce and high, and likely to keep ssuntil new grass becomes plen tiful. Kggs are iu good, ropiest. California raisins ami other dried fruit come forward sparingly as yet, but all salkU gooj prices. Concerning freights the Herald says i Wo have had numerous arrivals during tho week of vessels in liallast, and also coal lad cued, Many of these came iu with homo charters at much less than spot rates. At this writing there aro but comparatively few disengaged vessel In port, but a largo-number on tho berth, and some of theso aro having quick dispatch. Ship owners aro exacting full rates of wheat charters, i We quote the range at "377s ltd, latter for iron ships. Those rate must be looked upon as moro or leu nominal at the moment. Tho lato rise in wheat aud tho arrival of a largo fleet of chartered ship at low figure operates against any new sjiot charter.

At tho Mechanics' Fa(r,iu thoNorth gallery, can bo seen an exhibit of beautiful furniture, carpeted spaces being devoted to displaying furniture set for elegant bed rooms, parlors, etc., Messrs. llurgrcn & Sbindler wcro pio neers in this business, and their successors aro Slilndlcr fc Chadbounie, who occupy ware rooms extending through from Front to First strcc's, between Morrison and iinihill. The business has grown with tlio city aud county, and now they keep nit assortment that would satisfy tho tastes of n New York millionaire, and all the samo are glad to receive calls from any of our country friends who wish to bo made comfortable nnd conclude to refurnish their homes in whole or in part. Couldn't Exhibit Noticing that C. II. Dodd & Co. hivo no exhibit at the Mechanics' Pavilion wc asked Mr. Dodd why it was or rather why it was not?

That ia tlio sort of a man C. II. Dodd is "and don't you forget it." Fall Farming. I.ilc Timet. Wo nro informed by a gentleman just in from tho country districts that the fanners are busily engaged in fall farming. Tho experi ences of tho latt season taught them tho lesion that Spring sowing is not not always the most successful. If tho Sum mer Is dry, the grain docs not mature beforo harvest, and it has to lie cut for hay. If sown iu tho Fall, it receives all tho Winter's mot ture, nnd bears abundant crops. The land is broken in tho Spring while tho moisture is iu tlio ground, nnd then sown ingrain iu thoFnll. At prcsut a great many of our farmers aro doing what is termed in California "volunteer ing;" that is, harrowing tho ground iu the stubble, and then planting. Our informant says that very littlo plowing is done on the hills this side of Oak drove, but the method described above is generally followed. This must Ik an experiment, as we havo not heard of it heretofore. Whether it will be succes sful or not, another season will determine. Merino Wool Prtis, We stated last week that Mr. Sanborn had received a first premium for exhibit of Oregon merino wool sample at tbo Philadelphia In ternational sheep and wool exhibit, and ho gave us afterwards tho names of the wool growers who furnished tho samples.

Ycster-lay af teruoon at 3:30 a collision happened on the river opposite the foot of Morrison street, which, for a wonder, did not result in any ono being killed or hurt. It seems that tho little Idcasiira lal Ltielia was going uowu stream with a full heud of steam, when opposite Morrison street and very close to tho Uiildert, tho Hip Van Winkle, a tug of considerable power and size compared with the Luella, sud denly backed out from tho wharf and ran her storu into the side ot the Luella, and broke her all to pieces. Sho was abno.t capsized by the accident, ana lite men on uuaru tier were, for a time, in immense danger of being Imwiiid. The Lue larichtencil howovcr. anil was brought into the slip for r.pair. The Hip Van Winkle was not demaged at all. AsoTiiEK Mi'iumn, Mr. H. lUisloy, a well known citiien of Washington Territory, living on th Walla Walla road some 14 miles from tho city, was shot in tho groin i-riuay last by ono James Lcary, and died soon after ward.
