that basis the crop should not fall below
525,000,000 bushels. Oats are the least
promising ot any cereals, serfage m
rye is little changed, but tho August
condition is better, promising a larger
crop, uariey acreage is apparently mo
largest ever seen, ami mo prepeni condi
tion warrants that the crop will bo con
siderably above the average.''

PORTLAND MARKET.
A Itemunn of tlm Condition of It. Dif
ferent Dopurt nient k.
Fruit dealers have their stocks pretty
well cleaned up. Receipts are light. A
few watermelons have arrived. Very
few peaches have been received. Pears,
apples and plums were quite plentiful
and met with good sale. Tomatoes are
about the only fruit that can be called
in good supply. The stock is of fair
quality, but is not in good demand. The
market for country produce is weaker.
Receipts of poultry" were large. Butter
is coining in freely, both Oregon and
Eastern, nnd dealers do not expect to
maintain present prices any length of
time. The egg market is by no means
overstocked. In other lines a good trade
was experienced.
