IJurvoatiii"; is jiiocmliug all over tho

lo injury to grain, though tho rnina of
July certainly iliil niiioh linrni, throwing
down thoiiK.uuU of hcim of tho vory

this alloy. Thiuo was had luck onough
in tho market outlook without having
tlio dilliriilu'ivi of untuto also to over

lowanees for llio determination of opera
tots to hear tho market in their own in
teiest, it inut Im lveognized that tho
world in oxorstockod w'th hnadttull'-,
o' will ho so when present hanes's i to

nrwis in Aineriea, iueludiiig llritish do
minions us well ns the United Slates, as
ulxo India and Kiis-siu gives certainty of
u surplus in excess of whatever has been
known in tho past. Old timo wheat
growers leiueiiiber imotutions at 00 shil
lings per (luaitcr, and oven a little trillo
higher than (lint, but high freights ruled
nlso, o (hat w hon( wiw only n dollar a

India hao Ihvu eompoting heavily for
English trade. Wo huvo held our own
in a romiiikablo maiinur, Cuhfornia and
tho Columbia liver tending (o Kuropo
enough wheat to lmo divided intlueiice
on tho foreign quotations. Wo can
ro.ireely complain of u couditiou of
things wo huvo done i much to jiro
duco, for tho tlfty millions of Imshtls
tho l'aeillo States export count heavily
in regulating tho market quotations.
Tho Pakmkk it. not a prophet and can
only bring to bear tho experience of
years nnst in coimidorinK tho markets.
but with that expeu'enco to guido us wo
a mil i xi rca a i opinion. Uiiciuubtan
ce? indicate that tho world has a good
avcrago supply of. breadstuff with great
areas of now land corning into cultiva
t on. Wo need not expect at any time
during tho year to come nny speculuth t
lnovcmeiit or big plices, uii1l-"j tome
contingency ari'es entirely unlooki d for
now, Hlch as u great European war.
Thero has been a panicky feehng in the
world's markets for a year back; all op
crator, ahnot without an octition,
ii'ivo l"-t in the dealings and aic deter
mined to go (low und fuithor- to hiivo
tho bfst of the business if they venturo
in again. Theio is viilually a combina
tion among buyers to save themselves
and capital as wo pi evented in n lecent
ime in California seems inclined lo
help the buyer instead of tho wheat
grower. All hands are trying lo get
even, for thero is a feeling that during
tho last haivest year tho producor has
had decidedly tho best of tho dealing.
It is hardly possible that thero will be
no competition and that this do-nothing
policy will continue and when a markot
is actually established matters must im
prove 1 he only thing to do is to wait
and sco what vill turn up. "Hold on
and growl" is sometimes tho only reas
onablc alternation and a little growling
is actually a relief to one.
As lo tho tonnage supply: that will
figure also. California counts on having
a million tons of wheat surplus this
season and has tonnage in poitamlon
tho way to carry ofF two-thirds of that
quantity. To tho northward, tho Co
lumbia river, it was calculated that we
could uc 200,000 tons of shipping, but
that will not bo the case under jircsont
circumstances. With wheat at CO cents
in this valley it will not bring ovor 35
cents cast of tho Cascades. Thero is a
diilorcnco in value of that wheat and
ours, which, with upper Columbia
freights deducted, would leavo the east
ern wheat grower littlo for his crops.
Ho cannot sell at 35 cents a bushel and
can mako moro of it by conveiting it
into beef ond pork. All tho wheat that
can bo used to advantage "will bo kept
there and shipments will bo email un
less the business outlook improves. This
leaves the quantity to bo shipped from
the Columbia river so uncertain that wo
need not fear that tho rate of freights
will remain high. Fresent asking rato3
are higher than can be sustained. No
ships can bo chartered at 47s 6d when
tho bottom has droppod out of tho
wheat markot, as it has now.
Wo bnvo given a plain and careful
rosumo of tho situation as to wheat and
breadstuff, and tho roader can judge
for himself whothor our advico is
healthy, to make tho best of circum
stances und wait for something to turn
up.
Tho Wntervillo Times of Aug. 12th
has littlo to say of tho hop market.
Tho crop is being picked ami taved in
good shape. Everywhere is thero a
dearth of business, and 35 cents is tho
highest offered in that section ond Unit
for voiy choice Thero is a deficiency
iu yields comp.uod with last year, in
tho Wntervillo districts.
Tho lh owers' Guardian of July 20th
contains the following which looks like
a fair repoit of tho condition of tho
crop on the Continent : Looking nt all
tho circumstances and conditions of tho
vaiious ditrict-, wo consider that if the
rain docs tho amount of good that is ox
peeled, and if wnim, suitable weather
prevail dining August the English crop
m ly amount to 280,000 cvvts., or ulk ut
t cvvts. per acre round; mould may
spread and icduco the crop; lico may
get into tho cones; cold weather may
ii'ri't tho development of the cones;
many things may happen in shoit to re
duce this, but if till things go well this
avcrago will it is thought bo obtained.
Quito an avcrago crop will bo grown
thioughoiit Germany und Austtia. Ac
counts tuo good fiom all quarters, with
tho exemption of the Steiermark in Aus
tria, a district of about 2.G00 acres,
where lico have done injury. As stocks
aio low in Germany it is not likely that
many hops will lie bent ftoin thence to
Knglaud, unless prices rule very high.
Tho Uelgian and Holland plantations
havo been sorely iifliicted with aphides,
but not so much so iu the roporinghe
country ns in other pans. Prospects
havo, however, lately improved, and it is
thought that n crop of about 4 cvvts.
per aero will be grown. Taking tho
world round tho crop of 18S4 will not
bo equal to an average return. Stocks
are excessively low everywhere, so it is
expected that prices will be high.
Itcgurding the California market, we
take pleasure in referring to tho circu
lar ol J. T. Cochmu A Co., 302 Califor
nia street, San Francisco, Cul., which is

chaugc. to ieprit in the condition of the
growing crop iu New York and England
Hinco our last; the markets at thfiio
points aio identical with our own : vi ry

stock", and n disposition to await development'3.
bo far as wo can learn time is no rp
prehension felt by our local hop grow
cis. The vinos look well and tho burr
is Tilling out rapidly and plump. An
avcrago crop is looked for and prospects
aio that it will be of excellent quality.

Thero is a noticeable la King of dairy
products and eggs, which at this season
of the year is not unexpected as our
farmers are all busyharvcstingand don't
hate tiino to attend to such produce.

Review.
-The Mark Lane
London, Aug., 15,
Express, in its review of the grain trade
for the past week, says: Tho weather was
unaltered. A large proportion of the
grain has been harvested, with tho best
results. Wheat returns show that 5i
por cent, is over average, 30 por cent is
average, and Llporcent is under average,
Other crops are slightly under average.
The wheat trade is nominal. New English
wheat declined 2 shillings during tho
week. Tho price of wheat langes 10
shillings, and Hour 5 shillings lower than
in 1883. Tho new gia!n is flinty, owing
to excessive bent. Sales of English wheat
tho past week were 27,52S quarters, nt
30s 2d, ngainst 41,790 quarters, at 40s lOd
tho corresponding period last year.
Foreign w heat at London is demoralized,
for both the picont und prosro:tivc
trades. Arrivals of caigoes off coast
numbered sixteen. Four cargoes were
sold, four were withdrawn, and eight re
mained; twonty aio due. Flour is
neglected, and Od anil is cheaper. Barley
is ncglocted, but few samples being
offered. Oats aro dull. Mabo is nuiot
Theie aro largo airivals, but prices aio
unchanged.
