Portland and St. Paul. This will render
necessary the putting on of more express
messengers. Now that there is a change
of abmmistration a certain sense of in
security prevails among all the attaches
of the postoffice, and also with the route
agents.
"To stop advertising means the dullest
' kind of business, and it is surprising in
these days to find men when solicited for
ads., to maKo tne excuse mai -traue is so
dull.' But it is a fact when merchants are
busy and their clerks aro run to death,
unable to wait on customer.-', and work
ing over hours to straighten up stock, is
the very season when tho advertising so
licitor is most certain to obtain an order
for almost any medium, be it good, bad
or indifferent. The true time to adver
tise is when trade flags, and the most
successful merchant is he who keep3 his
card in the press every day in the year,
no matter whether business is good or
bad. It is as necessary for his name
and business to be in the columns of the
press as to have it painted on a sign over
bis door." fc

"PRIMAGE" AM) "WHARFAGE."
There was a time when on every freight
bill of tho steamship company was a
certain charge for primage." Whenever
anj-one grumbled about it he was confi
deutially informed that "that goes to tho
captain," and with that ho had to bo con
lent. There was another little cinch
called "wharfage" that was explained on
the necessity of "keeping the wharf in
repair," "custom," ordinary usage, etc."
The Astoeian has repeatedly spoken of
the unjust and unequal tax on Astoria
merchants on the part of the O. B. & N.
Co., and in no way is this injustice more
strikingly exemplified than in this mat
ter of "primage" and "wharfage,' which
is a direct gouge. If a business man in
Astoria tried to swindle one of his brother
merchants in such an egregious manner
it would ba told all over town before
night, greatly to his discredit. We have
a bill before us for a little lot of paper
snipped trom oan raucisco on the Ure
gon, on which the charge is 5.70, freight.
That's all right; it's enough, goodness
knows, but the paper was brought prompt
ly and safely trom San Francisco here,
and it is only fair lu pay well for good
service. But there is a h.ttle item at the
bottom. It says "wharfage, 2S cents."
Now does Captain Pohlmanu get that 28
cents? If ho does, let it pass;" wo shall
feel gratified to be allowed to donate 28
cents to the support of that accomplished
navigator. But it is our private opinion
that ho does not. It is our positive
knowledge that tho wages of the entire
outfit is o much or so little
par month and of all the primage
or secondaga in the coffers of tho
O. It. & N. they never get a cent. Then
comas this matter of wharfage. It Cap
tain Hustler or Captain FJavel allows a
shipper to land his goods at his wharf, it
is but right that they should
charge something for tho privilege.
but if either of theso gentle
men had a line or steamers running
between here and San Francisco and had
a wharf for their own vessel's use exclu
sively, we would consider them extraor
dinarily moan to chargo us 37 cents
"wharfage" which in addition to the oth
er cmch of 2a cents wo hud on tho bill
before us, making a total of G.1 cents,
which is a direct gougo on the part of a
corporation, that, though it has lowered
the wages of its employes still demands
as high a ruto on freights and fares to
and from Astoria as it does to and from
Portland. "Oh, well, 03 cents isn't
much: what are yon kicking about?"
No, it isn't much, but go down to the
ubarf and see the hundreds of tons of
freight for Astoria; note that every
bunch of that freight means a separate
way bill and of course a chance to get
sjmany d'stinct and sepirale gouges of
"wharrago" and "primage," and figure
up the total. You will find that while
Astoria is paying well for all the freight
she receives over tho lines of tho O. K. &
N., she is taxeJ uijustly thousands of
dollars a year, on that outrageous gouge
of primage and wharfage. They do it
just because they can do it.
Purety as a matter of policy; purely as
n matter of financial shrewdness, the O.
11. & N. Co. would make more out of As
toria in the long run by treating us a
little less after the fashion of so many
lemons.
Soouer or Liter there will be a chance
to get out of this opprobrious tax; and it
will be hailed with joy by hundreds of
men in this city who aro heartily tired
of paying for what they don't get, and
what docs no one any good except the
O. B. & X. Co.

ORKGO.VS SHORT LINE.
Now that tho Oregon Short Line is com
pleted and regular trains will soon be
running, there is a rumor afloat to the
effect that before spring there will be a
terrible cutting of rates between the two
great transcontinental lines. At present
there is a pool on rates to Chicago, but
that can easily bo broken, and railroad
men know just how to do it. Say, for in
stance, the passenger rate to Chicago is
50. That rate is kept up according to
the agreement of the pool, but there is
nothing to prevent tho roads carrying
passengers, say two or three hundred
miles beyond Chicago for $30, if they feel
so disposed. Then passengers can get
off at Chicago, if they choose, or at any
other point this side or the other side.
When the Short Line begins to run regu
lar trains, and tho work for traffic starts,
there is no doubt in the world but this
scheme will be resorted to. and that will
end in but one thing: the breaking up of
tho pool, and a slaughter in rate3 that
will be a vast benefit to Oregon. While
it might not bo proper to wish any rail
road line a hard tima in making money
by transporting goods from and to web
foot, wo cannot but join the people in
hoping that the great battle will now
open without delay. Mercury.

i No improvement in the demand for

There isan absence of any disposition
on the part of buyers to operate, while

Liverpool, November, 18S4.
Littje or no alteration can be reported
in the market for tinned salmon. Buy
ers aro awaiting tho arrival of tho first
salmon ships with the new season's pack,
which from all accounts, should turn out
superior to tho average of the past few
years. Meanwhile, the attention of gro
cers has been occupied with dried fruits,
and, as usual, the demand for salmon has
consequently fallen off, and is not likely
to revive until after Christmas, when the
small stocks now held will havo been
cleared out of the retailers' hands. There
is on ample supply in the hands of the
merchants, who aro anxiously waiting for
a return of the former activity. Tho de
mand in the United States during the few
weeks has quite revived, and several lots
which would otherwise have been sent
here have been taken up. On the spot
here common qualities rule at from 17
18s, and good Columbia fish 20(3223.
Corr. London Grocer.
Since our last the first ships contain
ing the 1884 salnion packing havo arriv
ed, viz; tho Esh-dalc, with 900 cases;
the Itata, 8.G40; the Majestic, 3,500; and
tho Charles CotcsicorUi, 14,103 cases;
these all sailed about the same time, and
the next ship will probably not bo here
before about flvo to six weeks. Theso
arrivals upon a market already fully
supplied have certainly not tendered to
strengthen holders' hands. There is
really no sound reason why prices should
still recede, as stocks, though in fewer
hands, are not as large as held at this
period last season and shipments will be
less; therefore it will only be holders'
timidity or want of means that can
cause a lower range of prices, and though
we do not foresee any advance imminent,
yet we feel sure that later on higher
prices will Tcsult. Correspondence Lon
