In Salom tho prico not to fttrmors la ODo for stor j;o wheat and 71o per bushel from wn gons, and a dull market.

Tho prico of tonuago is tluctuatiug so far as tho sUto commorco ia concerned, hut freight rates aro decidedly in tho produeera favor. Beo our editorial on this subject on tho -1th page. Foroigu quotations havo reached tho highest fig ure for tho wholo season, viz : H8a 3d. Portland quotations are $1,315 to 1.33 for this valley nnd $1.27J for Walla Walla. Shippora claim 1.35 iu a fair rate, hut moro is paltl for gool lota. Our mar ket ia in sympathy with Kustcrn mar kets whioh havo advanced lo to ljcts iv bushol. La'.o in November II. Cairns Jackson, a high authority ou tho grain markot, published in Donnbush's grain journal bis views on tho situation. Ilia roviow of tho seasons business shqwa that sup plies bo tar purchased fall greatly below tho average of recent years, owing to caution on part of buyers and absence of speculation. Whllo purchases had bcon light stocks on hand woro bolow tho average, and his ndvico to English millers wns to lay in their stocks before cold wea'her. Ho showed plainly that tho woild'rt supply is not large; that January will show exactly what that supply is and might cnuso an oxcitcd market and advance of prices during tho season, llus view lias bcon con Armed by tho cotireo the market has takon sinco ho wrote. With almost certainty of a light supply of broad slull's and tho possibility of a great Eu ropean war j farmers may expect an improving markot all tho season. Tonnago figures up about as follows : Tonnage in sight and to arrive 67,r00, and quoted at 10c. San Francisco is quoted dull. Oats have ruled slightly easier, buyers, except of small parcols, naming l!)llc for good of choleo feed. Extra choisc sold up to (Go.

Quotations of which will bo found in our standing markot, although the demand is good and at firm figures. Hops show no improvement and quo tations aro unchanged, and San Fran cisco and Now York aro fiat a dull market. Paget sound Rainfall. Our climate, in rospoct to rainfall, is not such a bugboar as somo affect to represent it. Our annual precipitation of 11 inches as a general avorage of years, is not greater than is rcquisito for regular and unfailing oxhubcrancc of vegetable growth. Tho average rainfall over tho whblo world, taking in Sahara, the San Joaquin volley, Arizona and all tho rest, is 30 inches, At Barrowdale, England, it is roprosontcd at 141 inches; for all Great Britain 31; at Bergen, Norway, 89 ; Havana, Cuba, Ul ; Milan, Italy, 33; India, 110, and at Vera Cruz, 183. Thero aro also places in India where tho annual rainfall is GOO inches; in ono placo in Norway whero it rains thrco days out of four, and another in Patagonia, at tho baso of tho Andes, whero it rains every day. The mean annual rainfall for the entire United States ss 30.7 inches. "When wo con sider that tho snows of winter aro already flying ovor tho Eastern States, we may contentedly tako a littlo moro of tho warm and fructifying rains from tho south, for a whilo yet, in ours.

Tuo Australia Wheat Crop, San Francisco, Doc. 27. Tho recent hot weathor, though it has had n forcing inlluonco on growing crops, has not been favorablo to filling out tho wheat heads, and in somo districts in tho north, tho accounts to hand of whoat on tho plains aro far from favorablo. On tho irrigated lauds tho yiold will bo largo but tho av orago computed in tho latter is tho small diflbronco of four bushels to tho aero on dry land, to thirty-fivo and forty on irri gatod, which indicates what can bo dono. Somo symptoms of rust havo appeared. Grasshoppers aro numerous, but tho crops aro too far advanced as a nilo to suffer much from the inllictiou. From South Australia tho accounts promiso a six-bushol avorago. Tho Queensland whoat crop is a comploto failure, rust having diatroyed all hopes of a yield, and fanuora aro now cutting their crops for hay. California Wheat The Amount Bblpptd and to b Shipped to Europe. 8an Francisco, Dec. 2G. Tho quan tity of wheat in tho Stato that will bo avaiUblo for export on January 1 is shown as follows : It may bo said that tho estimates of this season's crop, whioh six mouths ajro woro as Irish as 00,000,- 000 bushels and ovor, still wid'oly diffor, somo asserting that it will bo 10,000,000 bushols, whilo otuora equally competent authorities aro positivo it will not ox coed 30,000,000. As tho closet calcu lators loan toward tho lower figures tho estimato of tho crop is horo placod at 31,000,000 bushels. Old crop on hand July 1, 2,000,000 bushels; proaont sea son's crop, 34.000,000 ; total, 30,600,000 bushels. Deduct ahipmonts to Europe nud other countries between July 1 and Decomber 15, 11.000,000 bushels; tho quantity that will bo skipped between December 15 and Decomlw 31 1,500, 000 bushola; required for homo con sumption, Boed and carry-over. 11,500, 000 bushels; balanco availablo for shipment, 9,000,000 bushels. Tho con tinent this year has taken twonty-fivo por conL of our European shlpmouta, aomething unheard of before. Last yoar during tho aamo period it took only three thousand bushols. Our shipmonts to Europe aro considorcd largo because tlioy aro compared witn lait year which woro unusually small. pOYAl A laUable Medical Trvallse.
