Parties receiving and storing hay
cannot be too careful this dry weather.
Yesterday morning there could have
been seen a wharf strewn with hay,
and a man close by a bale smoking a
pipe, the wind blowing briskly at the
time. Astoria has been very lucky
about lircs; the present dry season
should make every cne doubly careful.
It may not be entirely out of
place to suggest to some of our sub
scribers and patrons that in cleaning up
their season's work, we should be glad
to have them lemembcr their lirtle in
debtedness to us. We have no use for
moncy,no bills to pay, and we are liever
asked for the wherewith: but never
theless, it would be a source of pleas
ure to have a few big silver dollars to
use for sinkers when we go fishing.

such cases. A private letter received
yesterday afternoon, states that the
gentlemen comprising the board will

The whcaC market is duli heie, ex
cept that some exporters have to pro
vide cargoes for ships they have char
tered, and so sustain the market. One
house gives 81.55 percental as the top
of the market; another puts it at
$1,571, and all agree that the situation
is so uncertain that there is no de
cided price for anything, as no cargo
am be bought and shipped here for
what English orders will allow.
The English market remains about
as it has been; slight fluctuations and
no excitement. Crops are usually
good the world over, and prices can
not become high, though an active
demand may come up, and freights
may come down enough to help the
fanner's prices. One charter was
closed here lately an .iron ship for
tlte L'nitcd Kingdom at GOs. Another
ship is supposed to bo just chartered
at 57s Gd per ton. At San Francieco,
3esterda3, iron sliips for U. K. were
chartered at 51s :d, and a wooded
vessel for 50s 3d per ton. It is thought
tonnage will be considerably lower
there; a shipper here says that freights
should come down to 50s. in the Co
lumbia river. So we live in hope, and
the wheat growers of this valley are
expectant that cheaper freights will
come and create a better market.
But while some look for lower tonnage,
some ship owners are homing tor a
rise in freights. We hear of some
that refuse charters under G5.
Comparing the wheat market now
with last spring, we find that an
April shipment of Walla Walla wheat
brought 49s per quarter, while orders
now for the same wheat will not come
within five shillings of that price.
The freight market helps to keep
prices up. Good valley wheat may be
quoted at $1.55(5.1.571 por cental.
Some time since an oiler of $1,521 for
a choice lot of Walla Walla wheat was
declined. The season's crop in the
vicinity of Walla Walla is excellent,
but wheat crown up bnakc river is
more or less shrunken.
On Wednesday a cargo of California
wheat sold in Liverpool at 42s Gd per

than current rates for good Oregon

this authority could be lodged no
where but with the captain. His
judgment may be at fault, but if at
the end cf a voyage he ci.u mike
oath that he considered what he did
to be necessarj', for the protection of
the interests intrusted to his keeping
it is almost impossible to punish him
for his mistakes. An example of
this arbitrary power was given some
years ago by the captain of a mer
chant vessel sailing from one of our
Atlantic porta. The ship w:is bound
on a voyage to the west - coa3t of
South America, and her owner invit
ed one or two of his friends to go
down the bay in her and return in
the pilot boat. When outside the
weather became somewhat threaten
ing, aud the pilot boat was not im
mediately on hand. The captain had
long cherished a grudge against the
owner, aud saw in the situation an
opportunity of revenging himself.
In spite of commands and then of
appeals made for the owner, Itis
friends and the pilot, ho put the
vessel upon her course and stood out
to sea. His involuntary passengers
were, of course, in a wretched stato
of mind, coming, as they did, wholly
unprepared for a voyage around Cape
Horn, and very well aware that their
relatives and friends would have
doubts as to their existence. This
led the owner to resort to measures
which tho captain construed to be
mutinous, and hence he had the for
mer placed in confinement, while-the
entire party, with the exception of
the pilot, were treated very much as
if they had been common sailors, so
far as their food supply was concerned.
When the ship arrived at her port of
destination the captain was instantly
disrufcsed; hut that was all the pun
ishment that could be iuilicled on
him.
