Work on the new lighthouse in Crescent City lurboi is progressing as rapidly as pos sible, and it is expected, if no further delays occur, to have tno structure up within three years from the ti ne of commencement. The schoomr La Niiifn, which broke adrift recent ly, is now anch'ji ed alongside, and the work men all live aboard of her. The sttamci Maizamta makes occs.onal Iripi up with sunnlics. The rew crl: shinnme List says: -ine best evidence of the fullnete of the harvest this ytar, perhaps, is the con naratively low pricts of nearly all farm products, which up jet the reports of short crops lint have boci .o ii.duslr ously circifiated. Among the most industries crjake s are the 'tirinirs treiu selves. Tlio 'ate Tliaddeus Si eus used to say that a uoutentid farmer was a rare"- cren ture than a ttli'tc black bird.

"W-e-1-1," resp'it led the farmer, guardedly, "it is purty fair; purtv fair. Hut," and this with a no ticeahlt! tinge f sadness, "thar might be n few more cunno - ,ust a few more cttnnels ut the end of the cub." Now that the excitement occasioned by the deal in barley is over, settlements are all in ad !, a.d every one apparently satisfied, th market is ecarci-Iy more interesting than other lines of business. No changes of importance were recorded in prices. Ships are drop ping in slowly, and come on a dull and un satisfactory market. Owners are again show ing their mettle, and firmly refuse to make concessiens, while exporters are well sup plied, and for the moment indifferent about taking new tonnag . The coal market remains quiet at steady rates. Iron is in full supply at unchanged figures. Salmon is weak and dull at quota tions. Quicksilver is quiet. Phil Neil k Co. have issued a ruviow of tho hop trade for tlio B'asod, giving a history of the rise and fall of prici a which, as is well known, were unprecedented in the history of the trade, and the course of which was closely followed in tho columns of tho Commercial News.

II is altogether likely that her cargo, or most of it, will have to bo thrown over .board 1 1 save tho ship, uulcss it can bo transferred to the tiitfo. Kllorts were made during the night to pull her off the sand, and it is expecte 1 that si e can be floated by the 1 1 gh title this morning if not before. Capt. Alexander, tht master, is a good navigator, and brought the vessel around the Horn from the shipyard and has been in ohartie iver since. Hi win making pretty good timo but the ship has a good speed and is considered the fastest 00 the coast. He is not to blame for the mis hap, nor Is the pilot so far as is known. Th Oregon is in the otliug yt t and cannot bo seen, out no tears are entertained tor her safety, as Capt. Pohlinan is considered un over cautious commander and would remain oil' the pilot grounds if ho anticipated auy danger ('here was a report afloat that this vessel hail folkwed the Queen aud collided with her but that proved to be n canard. Tho pasen gers of both vessels are expected about 3 or 4 o'clock this afternoon in time for the excui- sion train which leaves at 5 o'clock. The following dispatches were received by the Standard yesterday afternoon: Astouia, Supt. 5, I v. M. Tho tug Colum bia has just arrived, bringing Mrs. Fcrry,who was badly hurt yesterday, and other passen gers. The watchman of the Queen jumped overboard this morning, and was drowned.

The baggage aud mails were all saved, Tho crew threw overboard seven or eight hundred tons of c irgo. No damage has been done to the Qu en. The Queon was released from her periluut position about two o'clock yesterday ufter loun and reached Astoria about four without any serious damage to tliu Vessel, This may lie considered one of tho most miraculous, escapes 111 tne history of navigation, Tho Co lumbu bar is, of course, daugtrous. So is the ocean; so is the river; so is tho Poind Hut with all the dangers that surrou. d the mouth of tho Columbia it is comparatively safe to enter. Tho so men kuow almost evtry loot of water, aud exc pt nt a storm can come iu with impunity, Ihe circum stances of the stranding of the Q teen are pe culiar. She was expected to make time for in important reason, and a dense smoke and tog hung over the bar. Hung forced against oiistacles, it noma nave Keen a miracle bad an accident not happened. The blood curdling story published by the Sevs yesterday morning, which misrepre sented affairs and was calculated to poison the minds of people, was a direct and inten tional slap at Portland and this city's intei est. It was uncalled for, ill-timed and can not be excused, eeu ou the grounds of dense iguorauce. From a passenger interviewed by a ITtanp Aim reporter yesterday, the following facts are cleaned : "Tho ship sailed along with good weather, aud every oue ou board was iu the best ot spirits. The w ather was thick when they reached the bar, and tho ship dropped auchor about S o'clock Tuesday moruiug, as it was impossible to see where we were, After wait ing for the fog to rise a few hours, Governor Perkius, oue of the swner of the vessel, urged the pilot to go ahead, as he wanted to get In, and thought that he oould cross, the log having raited a little. About 2 o'clock, while tome of ut were down to dinner, we felt the vessel come to a atop and heard ths bell iu the engine room ring. Wu paid uo attention to this, as we supposed the fog had settled down again aud the vessel had come to anchor. Presently we heard a guu fire from the ship, and I knew that we were In danger, I weut ou deck aud learned that the ship was on the liar. For a time I was dazed. We could not tee any thing but water, aud it was impossible to ttll where we were, except that we were ttuck on the bar. Some of the passenger rcalited the danger; others did not, while others yet did not ap pear to care. It was plain to be teen that fear was working on the minds of not a few. but Capt. Atexauder went about giviug words of eucouragenient 10 an, lie advised everybody He p cool, ana witn the assistance of the the to less excited, manaid to keep down fear and panic, and to the credit of the pasengr it is said that they did not show auy signs of excitement. I knew very well that the chances were against us, but I kept my mind aliout mo and watched the proceedings. Af ter the gun had been fired for some time, tugs came to us arid the captain ordered the pass engers to get into them Tho matter was handled admirably. There was no rush, and the people were convinced that they bad plenty of time to transfer. A Mrs. Terry was the hrst to be lowered into the life boat, but as she reached the boat her leg wa cauuht betweenitand theshiDand badly man- jled. She was drawn uc again aud a physician aboard set the limb. Several tugs came out luring the atternoon and 1 rcmame.i until the last. Tho captain compelled all tho pas sengers to go shore, many of whom wanted to rcniaiu and take their chances with thi ship. Goeruor Perkins staid aboard The ship listed and settled in ten feet of wtei When wo cinu away it looked as if the fat 0 the ship was sealed. The only thing in its favot was the smooth watc." A laily having a small baby was lowete. into a boat and her baby sent down after he in a box. Some one sang out, "Look out for that baby," upon which the mother, thinkiiij; her child in danger, tainted. iMost ot tht pas.-engers armed here yesterday afternoon on the Mountain Queen at 4:30 and the bal ance on the Oregon at 9 o'clock. The Oregon 'Tossed the bar yesterday morning in sight ot the Queen, but she could render no assist ing. Atout 800 tons of freight had to be thrown over board, and the Queen then floated off. She will come up to-day. The passengers of the Queen, on board Mountain Queen, passed the following resolution': Mountain Queen, Columbia River, September. 5, 1SSS. At a meetine held this day on board th Mountain Queen, General L. H. Allen was called to the chair, and Mr, F, R. King was chosen secretary. The objecs of the meeting being stated, namely, to take some action up m tho strand mg of the steamship Queen of the Pacific, iX-Governor S. F. Chadwick of Oregon pre sented the following paper, which, on motion Judge S. C. Benson, was unanimously ac copied and assigned: 1 ho undersigned passengers ot the steam ship Queen of the Pacific on her last voyage to the Columbia river, Oregon, desire to say that the accident that befell the Queeu of tin Pacific on tho 4th lust., was in nowise the fault of the olliccrs of the ship, but it oc curred unJcr circumstances that cjuld not be tvoi led That the vessel Grounded on Clatson snit and immediitely afterward became fast and 00 longer manageable, ihut Ciptam J. tj Alexander bent all his energies to the saving of the lives of his passengers. That by his prompt action the crew of tho lifo-saviug station and tug boats came to his relief in tune to remove all tho passengers from the ship before the night had fairly set in. That the voyage up to this time had been unsur passed for pleasantness or fine weathor, and that everything had been done by tho officers for the comfort of the passengers. That in Capt. J. C. Alexander we found the courteous, competent and skillful seaman who was at his post of duty at all hours, making the voyage one of safety as well as pleasure to those ou board. That wo found the same order among his efficient officers, who also spared no pains to aid their com mander to mike our voyage what he desired it to bo. In tho calamity which his befallen the Q teen of the Pacific Captain Alaxander has our earnest symyatby, and will ever be re membered by us for his heroic efforts to save our lives and the property of those to whose service he is so much devoted We desire also t ) offer a word of praise and thanks to ex-Governor Geo. C. Perkins, of California, fur the noble part he tok in our behalf when the threatened danger of loss of lifo and property came upon us, and for his 'iliicieut assistance to Captain Alexander in the transfer of the passenuers to the life boat?. And, furthermore, we wish to express our gratitude to tho people of Astoria for the kindness with which they received and en tertained us. That a copy of this paper be presented to Captain J. C. Alexander aud to ex Governor Geo. C, Perkins, (Signed) The t ulue or (be Jellies. J rim ew Orleans Timcs-Democra. Mr. Hester, secretary of the cotton ex chaAge, in his rep irt to the treasury depart ment about the commerce of New Orleans, jives some interesting figTM relative to the cost of shipping ootton abroad before and since the construction ol the jetties, which cnaDlis us to form some idea of their value, Theso figures relate, however, only to the cotton :raile. They show that iu the ten years be fore the jtties were constructed, the cost of transporting 12,500,000 bales of cotton was Stiti,000,000. an average of $4 11 per bale; w .ereas in tho live years since, 8,250,000 ba'. s have been similarity transported trom thin city lor $23,000,000, or $3.30 a bale, a saving 11 freight in these fi'. e years of $5,S35,000, 01 $1,107,000 a year. This is in cotton aloae; nut, as overyliody knows, the greatest saving has been in grain, the trade in which has sprung up since the jetties were constructed. The difference in grain freights ten vears ag. and to-day would sum up nearly $1,000,000 annually as saved. These are tho actual and perceptible savings resulting from the jetties; but they are really worth much more to the farmer. As Mr. Kimino shows, the reduced freight charges by the river routo havp had the effect of causing similar reductions on the Sart of the eastern trunk railroad ines. Who oes not believe that the jetties were the cause of this railroad reduction in fares? Measured by a test like this the jetties have already benefited this country that is, the producers and farmers nearly $100,000,000. in causing their crops to be worth that much more to them ou the farm.
