The llowory month lias fuliillod its traditions covering tlto onrth with -a ctiqwt ot vortlui'o intorwoven with flowers, mill tho finits of Rimlon and or ohnrd aro growing uipiilly, soon to riiwn nnil givo tw tho groutost of nature's lux uries. Tho grain fields aro luxuriant with thoir ileuso growth, nud all things m-liold aro promisiug with prodigious beauty. Tho prospect for crops of all kinils is encouraging to tho last degree, tuid only eovoro drouth cau interrupt our hopes. Success now depend on a favorahlo season for tho next six weeks. For a week or two back tho sun has boon too warm to last without dainngo. If wo have a triilo cooler days uud fa voring ahowore, all will bo well ; lint it ooks a triilo drouthy, to toll tho truth of tho weather. Kven with continual warm and dry weeks, wo can hardly fail of largo crops. A fow Bhowors, season ably intorsperscd, will Insure us 0110 of the most beautiful seasons imaginable. Tho wheat market moves a trifle, has its ups and downs, but for two months past has not seen much change. Tho quotations would now bo -10 at Liver pool for COO lbs of valley wheat; and 3810s for Walla Walla. Tho rates lumod aro received as recently paid in Liverpool for throo cargoes of Walla Walla and ono of valley wheat. "Whilo our market has remained without change peculation hat gono praotioally to work in Mow York and Chicago, so that since May 1st a drop of nine cents a bushel Laa occurred. Wo cannot reckon on present prices, because 110 ship can reach England from Oregon in time, for the next harvest will reach there first, whilo Now York or Chicago can ship through in a fortnight by tho tramp steamships that now do tho drudgery of tho high aeu. Aa to quotations, no chance in wheat or tlour has occurred tor this month. Trade i dull, and busmen more nominal than real. Wool continue to arrive tolerably free, and is shipped through to San Francisco as freely, as we have no direct through lino. Homo storage house aucceed in getting hold of boiuo occa alonal lot, and in duo time tho wool trade must change its course to go di rectly cast from tho Columbia rivor by rail. Growers who aro independent store in Portland, and eomo warehouse? aro filling up well. Fow sales aro re ported ; pricps that aro named aa possi ble arc 1819c per lb for Eastern fleecos. A sale at San Francisco is reported at 20.Jc, which was, no doubt, an extra choice lot. There is very little competi tion by buyois. The old time specula tion that camo eiuly and bought eagerly is gone by. At a time when buyers are not nnxious and sellers want all they can get, it is difficult to put a moaning on the market. Our Eastern advices show that raanufactureis are quito indif ferent about purchasing. Tho range of prices corresponds with tho range of fleeces, which go from vory coarse to XXX. Tho U. S. Economist of April 20 says : Tho coming season will seo sevorol new houses started at Portland, Or., whore wool will bo handled and shipped East via the Nortborn Pacific Railroad, and ns the Oregon wool is likoly to increase largely, Portland may become quite a wool point. Tho good grown wool of Oregon, which is a fine medium in grade. is much liked by manufacturorSjand we recommend a larger growth of'that clas, liko tho TJmqua Valley or fine Willametto Valley, but avoid tho coarso- grades of the Willamette which run down too low. Tho hope is that wool-growers east of the .Mississippi who wah thoir wcol will do so this year with more caro and at tention to making a light lot of wool. Wo aro certainly anxious that this country should grow all tho wool wo need, and to do so wo want growers to take that caro sufficient to make their wool so superior to Australian or Capo that our manuf.ictureis will not deiro to go to tho Antipodes to got what thov can reach at home. We aro of tho opinion that good wool can bo raised with care in this country to suit all, but that caro must be given by growers to the Hocks which men in other kinds ot business give to mako thoir tiado a success, and with that care this country will yrt become a gicat wool growing country. We liavo mado gro.it stiides in this pnt tttenlj-fivo years in that direction, and wo eny we must keep ut it until wo solve tho tariff qwtetion our own way, that is, mako no need "f any tn'iif what ever, by growing all tho wool wanted, which point wo now liavo nearly reached, Thoro is no .sound reason whv we cannot raise wool in many of our States to sell and export as wo do cotton. It can bo done in Texas and other Southern States. Wlion tho time comes, as eomo it will, when tho American farmer will find no foreign market for his wheat or corn, perhaps ho will then give a littlo moic attention to raiting mutton and wool legardless of tarilf restrictions. Wo seo no good lt'iison why wo should not grow all tho wool in this country vo need except carpet grades. Thoso our farmers will not glow at prjsent, because thero is nondequato leturn in an investment of that sort now nor in tho years near by. Oood feed oats aro worth JO to JSc per bushel. Inferior not saleable ut any pi ico and receipts are so free that wo cannot seo how interior doalors keep up prices as they aro at Salom. Butter, juices as they woio last week. Eggs soil freely at 22o per dozen. Poultry, chickens aro 0 to $7 a dozen. Potatoes bring 55 to 00c and small demand.. Provisions Bacon 11 to 12$ ; Hams, 13 to 17c according to make; Shoulders, 8 to Do ; Lard, 13 to 131c, in small tins ; 12c for 10-pound tins; Kegs, 11 to 12c; Eastern pails, 13$ to He. Hides aro in sharp demand at good prices. PROHIBITION PLATF0EM. Tho following platform was adopted by tho county convention of ProphibiJ tionists hold in this city on May 12: WitunnAS : Tho Democratic and Ro publican parties of this State and county are fully committed to tho license traf fic in intoxicating liquors as it now ex ists in this Stnto, both by their past party record and thoir present, nartv iilat forms and behoving said traffic to be socially, morally, ana pomicully wrong, corrupt ing tho public morals, destroying the publia peace, inciting crimo, immorality, prostitution and shame, and greatly iu creasing our burdens of taxation, and that is tho only legal business distinc tivo'of overy object for which govern ments uie established among men, and therefore, bd it Kexolved, 1st, That we aro in favor of and demand tho legal prohibition of tho manufacture, salo of, or traffic in intox icating liquors; except for medicinal, mechanical, and sciuntilio purposes, by statutory law. w .mi. mat we tavor tno pmmottiou ot the liquor license crimo by amcmiuicnt to our Stato constitution, at the earliest pos sible moment. 3d. That wo aro in favor of a good and efficient registry law to prevont illegal voting. 4th. That we are in favor of electing all officers as far as- practicable by tho people; and civil service reform in tho appointment of others. 5th. That we are in favor of an ade quate and efficient system ot tree public schools. tith. That wo favor the pieservation of tho publio domain, for homes lor the people, and to bo disposed to actual set tlor only. 7th. That we opposo all chas legisla tion, of whatoer nature. 8th. That wo aro in favor ot the con trol of corporations by the State, to pre vent the abuse of power and unjust dis criminations. 9th. That wo aro in favor of a just and unequivocal administration of pub lic affairs of State and county. B0YAl W Troyal rsraj j SS pv -ill POWDER Absolutely Pure. T.iU prtAder nver aria-.
