All intcrot ivutcra at prraent in tliu wheat market, and for weeka paat theru baa Ixtii no wheat aold. That ia to aay tranaactiona aro o light that buaiueai ia ntaataudatill. Tlinv Teaaela rauio In laat week and 11 vo are known to bo outaidu the bar, and of couraoit only re epiirean amall ipiautity of wheat to load the few ahipa that liao been coming, ao light tranaactiona in wheat cauad no delay. We aro reproached by w heat buyer bvcauae we have preaented facta and iullueiu'cdfarniera not to aril their grain. After caieful aurvey of the aituution wo have no occaaion foraelf. reproach, Ut ua reviewi Two inontli ago wo allowed farmera that while wheat waa no low they could loau little by holding, if ablu to do , and might gain conaiderahly, Tho KuroH'au uiatket wo aald could hardly fall Ixvauae tho world' aupply waa griutuallv proving to Wilcaaahtindaiit than waa auppoatil, Kvcuta have justified ua hi that became, in tho faco of an advance of 1(1 ahillinga a ton ill freighta, w heat ia now ten cenU a cental iiioro than in early Octolic r.

Lib. ou A Church placed it last wtvk. Sown will make another survey of tho vitualioii and c how it looks. Thcro has Ih'cii over 270,000 tons of wheat already ahipHd from San I'Vaueisco, iu wo gather f rum tho commercial repi ta nud telegraphic diuU-he, and wo Hud that over 12A,0tH) tona of ahippiug i now in San Krancisco barlair, and omt vcaaelaof orr 3tH),(XK) tons t'arr ing capacity are on the w ay, all of w hicb foot up fully 700,000 tons. Tim dixc of tho total Califourn surplus if they wish to sell it and ship. Now it is afo tulielieve tint ft givat jvutof thi will lw held for Mter 1 rices. Weak bolder liotli hcio and iu Uililornia haegeneially sold, and tho great bulk of ? hcatrcuuiiiiugis held byfarmera and other who will wait until wheat gtvaupor frtighta como down, if it Is until another j car. There is bcarly :U),000 tuns of ills, e'ligaged vessel in Sau IVauciikt) to-day, and freight that weio7.1s to U. K., livu ships, mo now 70. Height hero wero not long vinco practicilly Sfa to S7s M n ton. and uow we aio tcld 011 tho struts an iorn ship cmiJIki bail for Mli, which is cuoniioH is far too luiicli and moro thin rv.ison can justify- but is not a high .1 wa dunned u wctk ago. Wheat went up too muldcnly at Liverpool, and w 0 aaid wc looked for a reaction, and it catno. Quotation aro now 3m a quarter lower than at the top price mid tomiagu ia trying to own tho market it doc own it pretty eevcro ly but if thcio is any faith in figure, thcro muat Ihi a bleak in tho freight ljoom when r-hipn find wheat hoblcra won t tell. Wo have never clnimud that any great riso could ho cer tainly expected until Spring, but wu havo 1I0110 our beat to innko it como aooner. A to tho Columbia river, wo havo always raid touimgo would bu light hcio and our re lief muat como fioui Sau I'lnncisco, and could not como until tonnage accumulated theru nhoo tho demand, flint tiiuu i coming. Hero wo havo time ships iu tho river and ten mora due, and may any timo .o vessels com ing in that havo not been announced to the public. It is reasonable to suppose that within tho next six months theie will be tounago to this toast abundantly sullitient to carry away all our grain, and with this apparent certainty of ships enough to answer our putiioac, if wo will wait for tlieui, and the further probability that the market will be letter nnother ear than now, wo havo tho probability that much of this surplus will not bo shipped, but held for a better price, and if this shall bo tho caso - ami it will !.-, unless prices ndvancu hand somely what aro tho ships to do If wheat can not lu J1n.1l to load tlicm? In ensu there is an ndvanco iu the near fit turc, tliovi who cannot alfonl to hold their wheat for two months longer will seo tho pro priety of selling. Wo hope to see such nu advance, and it will lie facilitated if all the vessels now duo can manago to drop in just at the Hid it time. Wo havo made thu Ix-st fluht wo know how for the wheat urowcr this year. and many of them fully appreciate it. Thcro was no tune wneu wiicnt na aiivauccii neru ipiickly, that it would not havo tumbled iu half an hour if thu fanners bail !ccomo frcu sellers. To havo nisheil wheat upon a market that had no transportation at command, or only slight amount of tonnage availablo, would bavu liccn tho poorest policy lu tho world. Hay holds up well. Oats hold up to 4.1c for choice Potatoes and apples 111 0 abundant at former priies. Thu oieuiug of navigation on thu upper Willamette brings down many apples and may overstock tho market. llutter and eggs havo been held too high and aro lower) see price list. ""K product have liccn very high all thu Kail nud may bo exjM-cted to decline, with the coming in of tho now crop. Ilutchcrs pay (! to II) cent for hogs. Hops aro at a good flguro. Messrs.

Thu lion crop seems to liu about eipinlly divided, lu thirds, lietwecu thu three gnules. Latknt. At tho hour of going to press Thursday wo learned that Liverpool shows no material change, but theru ia nothing doing. r.vidently thu fear of Irish troubles increasing has palsied thu Kngliah markets. If concil iating measures prevail when parliament soon meets, we may look for rapid improvement. Wo also leani that last night live vessels arrived in Sau l-'rauciaco, two of which were not known to lie 011 tho way, ouu of these two waa onlered oir thu Iliads to proceed to Port land. So thla continue again our statement that tho name of many veanels on tho way to this coast ato kept lack. One. man of our aciiiiaintaucu claims tu know of six vessels unknown to tho public now on tho way to Portland, Thu freight market iu San Francisco ia even weaker than wo talked of in tho llrat tutrt of this report, and wo aro confident it must grow still weaker soon. We hear of n lot of 10.000 bushels of valley wheat sold yesterday by a warehouseman for $1 12) but fanners arc not selling. Tho re Ht nn tho streets ha been for weeks!

Stato Line Heralds This prosperous village is located 011 the lino divid ing Oregon and California, and about fourteen miles distant from Lakeview. Lvidcnco of its future proapenty havo been abundant lately, chief among which is tho erection of a lino church building.
