It. & N. Co. with the N. P. 15. It. Co., by leaso of tho former to the latter, may cause changes favorable to the Upper Country. Those corporations are now opposing each other except so far as they carry out old lime contracts. Tho country is interested in seeing their interests harmonizo and tho true interest of the corporations is in building the Upper Country up tn bo a groat pro ducing region. To effect this freights must cheapen or pioduction will decrease rather than increase. A policy of groat liberality is necessary to build up the interior into a prosperous region capablo of sustaining good trans it tho Northern Pacific cannot realize that fact it can not succeed. "We notice, with pleasure, that Mr. Billings announces a very liberal policy in the near future. Hay and oats aro abundant and cheap but no regular or reliable quotation can bo givon. Monev is moie sc.uce than was ever known in tho history of our country. The greatest and wealthiest houses in Portland say they arc unablo to make advances on the best of products because of tho impossibility of making any col lections. Banks, as well, arc close run and unablo to meet tho demands of their best customers. heat buyers are do termined to get oven on late reverses and ships hope to mako up for low freights on the last voyagp.

Thursday, Sept. 4, 1SS1 A week of southeiry wind and occas ional showers has not helped the harvest work, but the grain crops aro nearly saved and if tho rain does not persist little harm will be dono to grain crops and much good may result to gardens and pastures. Farmers have abundance of all things that tho Foil can produce and if prices could be in pioportion to yield there would bo gioat prosperity. The old provorb says: "When things aro at their worst they must mend." AVo must get all tho comfort possible out of that hope and work on hoping. Salem mills aro paying 53c for white wheat, .r2c for red, or Kinney wheat, and any ilamagod lots, or other vaiieties nro accept td at their actual values. At Kugene and points south tho piico of wheat cn'.ues down below tho cost of producing s.ime. It does so all through this State, but fjtther from market it is worse and worse. There is no actual chnngo in foreign quotations and wo cannot see why wheat suouiu remain long at tlie figures given aboe. There was a better tone toad- vices received Wednesday and an inr provement is hoped for at an early day Flour is dull at $4.25 per barrel; mills aro still grinding old wheat that cost them 00c and millers say they cannot aiToid to put flour down to correspond to wheal quotations because, they aio not purchasing any considerable" quan tity of wheat at those ligures and le liee some ndvanco soon possible. Our attention has been called to tho fact that No. 1 Oregon flour has sold at tetail in England for less than it tetail lioro at home. Wo have nk?d explan ation of this from millers here ami tho answer is that their profit and loss ac count explain? it. Cargoes of Hour ship ped in November and Decembor, 1SS3, in uuticipitiun of an advance were sold nt a sasritico and Oregon Hour has actu ally told by tho sack in England lower than prices here. All exporting mills have been operated at heavy loss. Thii has prevented tho Oregon City mills and the new mill at Albina from start ing up. Salem mills are purchasing somo dis colored wheat and shipping to tho Sound and ao working it off in small lots. At Wnlll U'rtlln ilin fimit-n fVir wlin.it " ' " !" " """! tion. Stocks of wool are ample and complete, and under ordinary chcnni stances the trado would bo disposed to meet tho maiket, but in view of tho present extraordinary state of tho busi ness and financial situation, no one knows which is the most pi oil tabic, to sell anel lcpent, or hold on to one's pro perty. Tho present demand for wool is chiefly for tho finer sorts for consumptive use. No ono in his sober senses would specu late in wool now because no one is found willing to sell the staple for paper that cannot be discounted at bank, and hence holders prefer to hold their wool rathpr than lock up paper in their safes of no real use to them. This is one cause, tho closing of many mills is another, and the poor sale for goods still a more important one, why the market for the staple is devoid of animation or buoyancy. There is plenty wool held back in tho country yet, and tno fall cup of Cali fornia and Texas will be coming along to swell the stock beforo tho mills will get ready to open their gates or sot their wheels in motion. It is true there is a steady fair demand for the choiest wools, and grades of this soit are not so abun dant, and being wanted moro than other classes they aio held by those who arc able to cany them with rather more firmness, but there aro other free sellers in the market and anyone who has the cash or is in good credit can buy wool of an' sort still cheap enough. Wo can liaidly quote a good XX Ohio yet abovo "lc, but those who are able as wo said befoio to carry their wool, will not sell at this price, and expect before the end of tho year to secure much better prices when the money markets become easier and the silent mills once more becomo buyois and consuuieis of the staple. Tho one item of products that stands up well and promises fair lewards is hop growing. Tho increaso of hop yards in this Stato and Washington Territory will result in over threo millions of pounds of hops for this year's picking. We gather somo interesting facts from Capt. Pope, of the firm of Pope & Red ding, warehousemen, who just returned from the Sound Country. They handle crops on commission only and will this year handle over a half million pounds of hops of which 300,000 pounds will coino from Puyallup valley. Captain Pope says the valleys of tho rivers emp tying into Puget Sound arc richer than any other soil and better adapted to hops, which is shown by their great yields. Tho Sound valleys alone will produce over 2,000,000 pounds this year, against one million pounds pro duced in Oregon. About 100,000 pounds are grown in Yakima county. Lane county produces half a million pounds and her yards out-produca those of other counties. Tho aver.igo yield in Oregon is 1,200 pound per acre, and the best average is Lane county, which reaches 1,00 pounds. One hop yard in Lane county went 1.S00 pounds per acre, that of Ilodnoy Scott, near Springfield. While thero is no definite quotation for haps it is thought that prices will range from 25c to 30c .per pound, and good hops can safely lo held for 2oc. From J. T. Cochran and Co', special hoprepoitof August 29, we Uko the following; Tho condition of the h6p trade is characterized by masterly inactivity. Both dealers and growers aro closely scanning all roporls of the growing crops in England and the Eastern Stato, and business hero icmains at a stand still. Growers who have not already contracted their crops, decline nn offer under 30 cent", whilo nt present 252Cc would probably bo all that could be obtained. We cannot change our estimate of tho growing crop either in England or New York Stato, although the weather has been favorable to their dovclopmont for the past few days. But it will bo re membered that our former estimates have been made on the basis of good weather for tho remainder of the season. Should the weathor hnvo proved unfavorable w o should have beon obliged to reduce our figures. Receipts of new ciop have been light fo far thN season, nnd somo of tho samples that have appeared on thejmar ket are not fully matured, owing to tho fact that owners of largo yards have been obliged to commence picking their crop too early in order to got it boforo the lastpickinir become over ripe. , The few bales of seedlings which have been received in the New York market sold for 35 cents por pound. Somo few con tracts have been made in New York State (lata crop) hops within tho last weok at 3031c. Capt. Scott tells a remarkable story of a field of timothy over on White river, below Van Doren's store, that yielded threo tons to the acre and was lastwoek in bloom with a promise of a second crop of two tons to tho acre, a total of five tons of hay to tho acre from two cut tings of timothy. riarli Lane Kevlew. London', Sept. 1 Tho JIark Lane Ex press in its weekly roriew of tho Eng lish coin trade, says: Tho English com harvest began and ended under unus ually favorable conditions. Although the yield of tho wheat crop is reported variably, tho condition of tho crop is excellent. Wet and colder weather some what improved the tone of tho mailfet to day. Sales of English wheat tho prist Week wore 57.S24 quarters at 35s Id, against 3G,017 quarters at 43s 2d the corresponding week last your. Tho mar ket for foreign wheat is .unimproved. The demand is at tho lowest; possible ebb, and values are nominial. Duiing the weok seventeen cargoes arrived ; seven were withdrawn and six remained. The trado forward is inanimate. Wool Market.
