The editorial oil another page, review inn tho jKiiition wo linvo taken on tho wheat question, was written ithreo days ago, since which time tho sharpest advaucoof tho season has taken place) I all known markets, so sharp that wo have looked forta reaction, which has not taken place. Tuesday a man caiuu to town and sold his wheatlto a I'ortland mer chant for f 1.(10 a cental, when any shipper In town would have been glad to pay hint 1 1. (12 J for it, and when all throuth the country warn, houses these same shipper! had sent orders, placing limit at II. B'JJ to llo paid to farmers' for No. 1 wheat It, is prlbable this unfor tunate mail read the Oregonlau that morning, which gavutho market at not overf 1.60, when it was rotlly firm at ll.S'JJ.l This Is the plain fact, however, and the farmers through the o aim try can take it for what'jt is worth. For a short time there waalquite an excite nieut her aud limits were pliced as high as 41, M a cental, but cooled Vlowu to I.A2, which we understand is the luuls on which purchases will be made of farmers through the country. Of course, round low for shipping might bring a trillo more, I l'rices are kept down py freights, whisli are footed, nominally, at 80s to UJC., thovgh we cannot leant that any charter for the season has tieen aiade at over 77s lid, and lato char ten have been taken at 75s as near as we can ascertain. Vessels in the Columbia, fit to be oHartcred for wheat carrying, are all tAeu and not a disvngaged ship is to Vo had, yet freights are held down below what shippers would like to ask. This is due to the fact that farmers hold their wheat with a firm grip aud will not sell. If they sold freely freights would undoubtedly go much higher, so tho farmer is acting judiciously when he holds. A V heat receipts here are very light. Tho Mpper is atlrah1 to charter a vessel for fear lie cannot get wheat to load it. The whole matter is moving well and the good time com iug is not so far on. The California freight market received a coaler on Sunday when fifteen wheat ships 6anie aailiug into the heads; Monday came three mora aud there are over forty more duo before the mouth is out. As a coutequeuoe we find a decliue in freights to 72s M to U. K. against 7 is, and wa notice that all charters tnade were made previeus to arrival, no hip has been chartered since its arrival, so we apeet tho frelghtdecliue U soou set lit strong. We also notlco that saveral ships that are named as arrived have not been on tho pub lished list, and that confirms our constant statement that more ships are coming than have been publicly announced. At this time there are nearly 100,000 tons of shipping on tho wayto San Francisco, more than at tho samotime lost year. Transactions include, heavy sales of valley wheat at $1. 82J, and Han ley Wallace k Co., of Walla Walla, who held nearly four thou srml tons rf up country wheat, sold tho same Monday at $1.40 per cental, a trado that in volved $110,000. Tho sale uas made to Messrs. Sibson k Church. This wheat is described to in as hardly equal to California No. 3, and the samo grade of wheat was quoted in September as not worth over $1.15 per cental, which shows nil advanco of 2. cents a cental, or Iff cents a bushel. Our friends among tho wheat buyers say very freely that the Wilmmmtk KaiimkiiIios blocked the market, and chnre the deter mination of tho farmers to our statements. They must concede, however much againtt their will, that the farmers have lost nothing by putting confidcaoa in our contlutloiH. Twenty cents a cental advance has tak :n place sinco tho season commenced, and thf end is not yet. Latcit from tho wheat market shows that this (Wednesday) afternoon London and Liverpool markets were firm with falrjinquiry. Stocks on tho way to Kuropo aro decreasing, which is calculated to keep the marjtet firm abroad, l'rices here aro firm at the figures wo givo above. The reaction wo feared lias not taken place, and we consider prospects favorable for further improvement. Hops aro quiet, at same rates, with less anxiety on part of buyers. Messrs. D. J. Malarkcy & Co. are ready to pay cash at same rate as last week. Messrs. Corbctt Mac! cay have advices of sales of No. 1 Puyallup hops in Sau Francisco at 18cts., but they are extra choice, l'rices in San Francisco can bo quoted at IS eta. to 18 eta. per pound. Potatoes and apples are unchanged. The present supply is abundtut and sales sluggish. It is not easy to foresee tho future of the potato market, because the home supply is not really known, and the California demand may lio only for seed. Winter apples will probably bear a fair price threugh the season. F-r---Tn-vtaavxTV-ii-Ffa-i Liverpool Wheat Market suffices for tho consumptive demand, which continues steady, llcst makes were firmly held, and therefore business was checked. Mairc afloat was rather firmer at the close, but spot remained unchanged. Hound com 111 all positions was rather in favor of buyer, in somo instances recoiling sixpence. English barley is unchanged. A considerable increase in London averages plainly shows that the best samples alone aro saleable. Oil tho whole trado is sluirgisli and supplies aro increasing. The same may bo said of foreign; oats firmly held at steady but unchanged nriccs. The foreign supply is liberal, but Russian improved three pence anil Swedish six pence. Sales of KnglisJi wlicnt during tho week, 400,420 quarters, at 4 is per quarter. Corres ponding week laxt year tho imports into tho United Kingdom, ending November 13th, were 10.),Ulff owt of wheat, and 21)3,811 cwt Hour. CROP REPORTS. LivxnrooL. No 23.

The following statement of the condition of the cotton, wheat and oat crops was issued to-day by tho depart ment of agricultures . Cotton Report from tho cotton belt were more favorable this month than lost in thu States of North and South Carolina and Fit rid a. Tho weather ha boen good and pros pects aro for incieasc of products of from 7 to Iff tier cent. In Alabama and all States bor dering 011 tho Mississippi river there is report ed too much rain and damago from rot and lx)ll worm, indicating a decrcoso in tho pro duct sinco a year ago. In Texas the weather has been generally favorablo aud crops promise to increase 18 to 20 per cent. Thu principal complained there is tho searcitv of lalior. Frosts are generally reported, but except in a lew localities tho -lamai-o lias liccn slluht. Tho area planted in cotton as reported to this department last Spring was 7 per cent more than last year. Wheat returns of November show as in crcaso on the wheat crop of tho United Stttcs 01 ;il,UW.WU uuahcls since IbiU. Alio yield per acre is somewhat less, but the incrraso In area sown more than counterbalances the loss of the yield. In tho States of Minnesota and and California the yield per acre, as well as acreage, show an Increase. The oat crop shows a slit-Jit decline as com pared with the crop of 1870. Tho area sown was 1 per cent tnoro than tho previous year, Irut the yield per aero is less. In the North Atlantic States the out turn is better than Liit year, but in all tho States South of the Dela ware there is great decline. In Kanias and Nebraska tho crop was very poor. In Iowa and Minnesota the crop was very goo J, aud about averago in other Western States, ORANGE AJTMIVERBARY AT BUTTS CREEK. lltiTTE Creek Qhanoe, No. 82, I Clackamas Co., Nov. 10, 18S0. j Kditor Willamette Farmer! 1'Iease publish the following notice!

Hut a few years ago Russia was looked upon by America as a formidable compcttor for sup plying Groat llritain and the wheat buying countries of tho lvstcrn continent with wheat. Tliis year wo havo sent wheat to Russian ports to ho consumed 'by Diiaslan subjects. This has been brought about by two causes; One the slack and slovenly manner of Kussian agriculturo; the otter tho extension of the aicaof wheat grown in the United States. Our own pcoplo were somewhat surprised at the first announcement that Russia had to buy wheat of America, but tho Russians wero also dumbfounded, and scarcely lielieve tho truth yet. Our wheat growers may feel a just pride in this historical fact, but thev should not fail to draw from it an important lesson that any soil by long continued culturo in wheat with fioor cumvauuii, aim wiiuoui leeiiiug, may 11c exhausted.

THE WENACHIE COUNTRY. Yatdama tleconl. This section of our country wo have upon several occasions proiiously alluded to, and called the attention of new comers ta tho ad vantages it possesses in tho way of anil mid climate It is a small valley, say about live miles long by thrco or four wide, lying be tween high ridges of mountains which com plctcly encloses it. Through the ccntor conr ses the Wcnachie, at the head of which aro extensivo forests of timber. Seven white set tiers aro now located in the valley, who together with thirteen Americanized Indians constitute the population of the valley, Somo good land yet remains iintiken, and thoso who livo there aro desirous that a few tnoro should come in. ith this object in view they, in conjunction with many residents of Kittitas Valley have successfully undertaken the enterprise of putting a good wagon road through from Kllensburir. This road runs un Cooke a canyon to its bead on tho Wcnachiu ridge. Thcnco a short distance across thn summit of thu ridgo trthc head of Ko la-hau cieek, which it follows down to. within one mile of Its confluence with the Columbia. Thence caatwanl and within sight of thu Col umbia to tho mouth of the Wcnachie. Twelvo miles of tho worst portion of tho road H grautn leaving eignccn nines yet to nuisn. However the road is now nassablo for teams .. 1 .:i.. 1 i.i at. 1.0 . .1.. nut ui-u.iiy 1U.1UC11, ,11 i-ncr iinviug recently taken over a load of lncrchaiidise from this place. Near tho m litis of tho Wenachie Messrs. Frier & Miller' have located a store, which is now the tr tiling post of a largo section. At this post all the settlers of tho valley and residents and minors along tho Columbia and its tribt Uric for many miles romo to trade. Thcsogcntlcmen have set out on their farm a magnificent orchard. Fruit trees of all kinds grow and thrive without much care. Tho gran : In this valley thrives as well as in California and peaches prow to n mamoth sire. On h s recent visit to this place Mr. Frier ordere 1 about thrco thousand fruit trees of all kinds! These aro ouly ad ditions to their already largo nursery. He informs us that no frosts visit the valley. This is probably owing to its sheltered posi tl n surrounded as it 'is by high mountains. Uioii thu mountain allies and contiguous to tho valley unlimited quantities of timber can be had. Possessing all these natural advan tages of soil nnd climate we cannot see why, in tho near future, thu vallev of the Wenaclilo should not bo a prosperous and aud populous locality. I A Good Ofler.
