Tlio temporiitiito is warm mul spring liko, wlion tlio huh conuw nut, ami fall sown crops aro doing remarkably well. Wheat lias boon advanced in aeeonl auco with foreign advices ten cents u oontal. At Rnlem tlio mill is paying 75 fonts u bushel. Tho fanners havo goa m ally hold oil' until now, expecting better pi iocs, and most of tho wheat in wnro housed is unsold. Tho last advices show a decline, or less animation, and buyers aro not over anxious to purchase at highest llguivs. There is tolerably fair prospects that wheat will hold up but no certainty that it will niako any decided advance-. There is littlo Hour ground for shipment. Those who aro able to hold can do so with safety as tho ohauccri aro more in favor of further advance that any torious decline. Wo tried, in October, to give fruit RiowerH somo encouragement as to dry ing apples. Wo learn from wholesale griKcrn that thoy havo very small stocks and cannot keep up with tho demniub Uhoiconpples command a pricotlmt will tiring them from tho Kust by tho ear load very soon. Tho range of prices is from o for sun-dried to 10 llo for best bleached fruit. Such prices for dried fruit whilo green applea nro brought to market iu such abuudanco that they cannot bo sold for a living price, Whilo there was a failure of most green fruits last season, tipples mudo a fair crop, though not an average one. Wo shall havo a growing demand for good apples, but need to dry a fair pro portion each year to save ovordoing the supply of groen fruit. 1'jovisions are slightly improved, and Eastern advices (pioto bettor prices and a firmer imn hut.

Veal firm al 8Dc Hogs iu lessened icccipt ; live quoted at U3Jc, and dressed 1010 for light to heavy. Oats arrive freely, although mostly for shipping. Host feed continues quotable at 'iain.Jc. San Francisco reports a rather easy market, utulor free sup plios. yet prices for good grades aro upheld. Mark Lane Review. London, Dec. 0. Tho Mark Lane Express, in its weekly review of the British grain trado says : Wheat values havo further onhanced. Tlio unsoundness of tho potato crop, a factor of leading imnortanco to tho wheat trade, is becoming apparont. Tho tubers aro now known to bo rotting over a largo district. Tho provincial markets navo sparing supplies ot wheat, and quotations havo increased 0d2s. In Loudon values of English wheat during tlio week woro 52, loll quarters nt Wis 7d, against GL',102 quarters at Ills during tho corresponding period last yoar. L'lour is scarce ; rates mo iiregular. Foreiuu wheat is linn. Corn is iu short supply and (Id dearer. Oats are llrmor. Bctfiis and peas luvo advanced Id. Five cargoes of wheat arrived, two wore sold, ono was withdrawn and two remained. To-day tho demand for wheat was rather weaker at an advance of Od. Flour was very firm and (Id dearer. Corn was scarcer and (Id higher. Hutlovs wore quiot. Tho supply of oats was smaller ami prices wero Oil lower. Au Interesting Letter Moscow, Idaho, Nov. 22, 1830. Mesirs. Btaver fc Walker, Portland, Or. (Si:nti.k.mi:.v -This is to certify that I bought ono of your Hoosicr Hiiuner Press Grain Drills and ued it on my farm last spring. I planted some wheal, llax and barley.

Tho result was that ho nover cut a spear owing to a dry spring whilo I cut a very good crop, planted with tho Picss Gram Drill, I can prove this by scvoral of my neighbors, and would nutkoailidavit to that ollcct if required.

A38E3BMENT AND TAXATION. Tho Statesman publishes resolutions passed at a mooting of Waldo Hills farmers, petitioning the coming Legis lature for an amendment to tho Consti tution providing for tho oxemption of ciedlts from taxation, and assessment of real and personal pioperty only, of a tangible nature. This works against taxation of mortgages. Ono of theso samo farmors told us lately that he and his neighbors weio finding out that tho mortgage-tax law has driven millions of money out of Oregon, and has re sulted in pluctntr inanv debtors at the mercy of a lot of brokers who handle monoy for capitalists, and iu addition to tho highest legal rate of Interest, ehargo llvo per cent, commission for obtaining tlio loan. Wo havo discussed this sub ject at length in tlio past, and did not find tho popular mind prepared to ac cept this viow. It is a subjoct that can not bo disposed of in u paragraph, but wo aro glad to soo our farmers realizing its importance. Tho question is : What courso will best sorvo tho purposo of tho Stato in raising rovonuo and work tho least hardship to tho tax-payer?
