Tho terriblo winter weather booms to Im h'ono anil tho Willnnictto region is in itH iiHiml winter form ngiiin. Tho Htorm of snow that emtio this year wan ten days aheml ot time. It is tho rule with us not to expect snow or cold weather previous to tho holidays. It caniolho middle ol December and tho wind piled il up so fantastically that our children had sight of geuuino winter. Wo do not hear that tho mercury went down to or below zero, or lower than ten above, though probably it did go as low in that. If (lie rain had come warm and plentiful wchhould havo had a fearful Hood, but tho wind was southeast ami and there was no great rainfall. While tho snow melted very rapidly il did not orcnlo a lloixt and matters aloiijr the Willamette nvor mv in their normal winter condition. Wo havo constantly held, this fall, that tho oxcecding low price of wheat and Hour was certain to iuduco a much freer u"o of (lower throughout tho world, both iu the uses of manufactures and consumption by the iwoiVht classes. AUo it can go into countries that havo dot horctormo used it. Thu has certainly been tho result of tho oxcessivo low prices prevailing mid is hIiowu iu tho recent estimates mado of slocks in tho warehouses and In tho great warehous ing cities. London has now in store considerably lehs than half as much wheat and aUwt thrco-fouiths as much tlour as iu January, 1SS!). Liverpool has tho same proportion less, and it is thought that tho same rule applies all through tho United Kingdom. At tho present time tho quantity on passage to Miigliuul and Kuropo is U.IJiO.OOO quarters, about 20,000,000 bushels, against a komewhat larger quantity one year ago. This discovery of diminished quantity in store has noiisilily ufVcctcd tho mar ket ; and mut up quotations two to thivo shillings abroad. Tho low prieo of freight prevailing hero prevents tho farmer leeching any great propoition of any advance. Freights havo considerably advanced but tho ilguroi otleivd bv ov porta havo advanced also to J1.17J a cental, and while that is olVorod for small lots, round lots bring nudity $1.20. Wo begin to bo hopeful that our sug gestion that spring pricoa may Ih a considerably improved will como true, Tho turn of tho year is apt to bring n revival of business in bnuiUtutl's ami a few doya tnoio may bring us further news as to supplies in other countries. Salem MUM ofibr 55c. Millers aro very cautious, miico their heavy losses of 1S81 have to bo nindo up.

Young crops coiiltuuo to show a healthy and promising appearance. Farmers' deliveries havo grciftly dimin ished, enabling holders to obtain from Is to 2', and sometimes Its, a quarter advance. Hales of Knglish wheat tho piut week wero .'(5,021 quarters, at :Uh lid, against '15,1:10 quarter, at :ii)s, tho cor responding week last year. Flour is (id (r la higher. Uarleyis Ishigher.

Foreign Hour is generally Is higher; American 1h2s higher. Quotation for inaio are unaltered, Uarloy in tinner. Oats nro steady and slow. Cargoes oil' coata havo materially advanced. One cargo of American red winter, per sail, brought ills por quarter. There wito fournrrivals and seven sales. Two cargoes remained one of which was from California. The trade forward is livolior, and there wan large business at advanced rates. No. 1 California, alloat, is worth U7s a quarter, which rcprcscnta an advance of IN.

The inquiry will rin to the lips of many, in what way is wood io e.tonsiu-ly used? No doubt by far the l.ugcnt pait of it is used iu the form of what is comprehensively known as "lumber," as lumber is used for building material, fencing and in numerable manufacture'. JJcmics there, it enters into the industries of the people iu many other forms. Hy tho last census wo Hud the value of wood used annually iu cooperage win ?'J:t,7 1-1,770. It is known that evoral million dollars' woith is annually consumed iu the manufacture of ba-kets. Tho chief of tho forestry division of tho Agricultural Hure.ui relate-, that 2,008,552 cords of lurk woro used in twining iu 18S0, at an average cost of 0 a cord which would bring the aggivg.ito valuo of bark up to 17,l67,2.-i2. Our country on tho North Pacific is well supplied with many varieties of forests hut even hero there is already commencing to ba ditliculty in procur ing good timlier convenient to trunspor lation. A tract of good timber, con ventioutly located possesses great, valuo and the W.-t limber tracts havo been iKinght up by monopolists who aro in tho timber trade. It will bo necessary within a few years for timber to bo cultivated iu many jwrtions of our own oountry to prevent coiisequeuces det rimental to agricultural interests. In Germany tho Stato sees that forests aro replaced and taken caro of as fast as they aro cut uway. This must bo donp on this eontineut or we shall t-eo our rich sections become as bnrnui as now aro tho onco fertile and productive lands of Asia Minor.
