H o p h ln * A C o.’ « Trade. Ilevlew of Portland, Or., Nov. 18. — Wheat fluctuation» ountinue wide, something to be expected »iter »uch au advance and with the supply and demaud posi tion! so an usual. The speculative in terest, however, i» broadening. It c“ nturnes to be the fact that there ia practically no leadership to the market for the reason that none ia possible. W hile there is more or les* talk of manipulation, there is no real belief in any and no reason for any such belief. Tbe erratlo course of prices is a proof of the absence of any control on this side and the independent and occasion ally inexplicable conduct of Liverpool ia put as good proof of the lack of any oontrol over there. The market fot the present i* leading the speculators, and so far those who have essayed to lead tbe market have not profited by their effort«. The upward rushes whioh in an ordinary year might be regarded as, in part at least, the handi work of some great bull, are this year merely the natural effort of the world s markets to adjust tbe prices to the situation, and tbe sharp dips, which might in any other year be regarded suspiciously as manipulative "shake outs," are merely the wide swings of a market violently agitated by the haste in readjustment The operator who has assumed that there was some powerful influence to tail after has been bitterly disappointed. The moat successful man has been the one who has pertinaciously operated within his means only on tbe one side. The developments of the week were the springing up of a surprising m ill ing demaud at Chicago, the continu ance of the drought in India, and tbe falling off of the movement from first hands West and Northwest. Primary reoeipts last week were 2,000,000 bush els less than the week previous and 3,- 000,000 bushels less than in 1885. Cables Saturday said the India famine bad been unbroken in all the distressed districts Nothing was more remark able during the week than tbe large cash wheat business done at Chicago on days when the wildness and tbe fluctuations might have been expected to cauee all cash buyers to hesitate. The sales Friday and Saturday aggre gated over 500,000 bushels. Another noteworthy feature was that the out side markets advanoed faster than Chi* cago, showing that speculators were re tarding rather than hastening tbe ad vance. The very large increase during October in wheat stocks ir Europe and afloat, 20,300.000 bushels, against an increase for the same mouth last year of only 4,200,000 bushels, is not as bearish ss might be imagined at first glance. O f this total tbe increase afloat, 5,000,000 bushels, was con tributed largely from this side, whence the imports have concededly been larger than can be maintained. Tbe inciease in Russian stocks, 15.400,000 bushels, is not so very different from the in crease last year in the same month, 8,- 600.000 bushels. Tbe extraordinary advance in priors, 40 per oeut within sixty days, has accomplished all these increases, tfie only thing of oourse, for whioh the advance was instituted. The exports of wheat, flour inolnded as wheat, from both coasts of the Unit ed States and Montreal amount to 4,- 664,615 bushels, tbe heaviest week's total since the second week of Septem ber, 1883. This is an increase of about 1,000,000 bushels over last week; of more than 1,300,000 bushels over the corresponding week of a yeat ago; of more than 1,700,000, as oompared with tbe like week in 1884, a gain of about 2.600.000 bushels as compared with the corresponding week of 1883, and of more than 700,000 bushels aa contrast ed with the like week in 1882.

Nov. 17. - General Fitahugh Lee, consul-general of the United States to Cuba, returned here this afternoon from Virginia, where he has been visiliug his family. No time has yet been fixed for hia return to Havana, but it is understood he has been aaked to remain here probably a oouple of weeks longer, in order to hold himself in readiness to ooufer with the president and secretary of state on the Cuban question. General Lee talked tonight of the Spanish-Cubau situation, and while not denying tbe oossibility of war with Spain, expressed the opinion, that the reports that an open rupture was im minent, aui that consequent prepara tions for trouble were being made by both countries might be greatly exag gerated. He said he had no knowledge of immediate danger of hostility, though, of oourse, there was groat feel ing among some Spaniards against- this country, as they thought that without filibustering aid and oomfort from here the rebellion might easily he suppressed. He had no information as to whether the Spanish were prepared or prepar ing for war. He said: " I do not believe there has been any massing of armament in Cuba, with a view to possible trouble with the U n it ed States, nor that the construction of Bpauish war vessel» i9 to be attributed to any such contingency. The Spanish army may be improving their defenses wherever possible, but it does not nec essarily imply expectation of war. The United States is steadily strengthen ing its fortifications and defense works, and it is an old maxim that says 'in time of peace prepare for war. ’ "About the war sentiment in Cuba? The Spanish officials said nothing to me that indicated any expectation of war. The only thing that oonld be construed to give that impression is the mounting of a battery of heavy seaooaat guns on the ooast above Ha vana. There are from twelve to fifteen of these that extend perhaps a mile or a mile and a half north of the limits of tbe city proper. These point to sea and not toward the insurgents. In case of an attack, it is possible these might be made to supplement the de fense given by Moro oastle. Cabanas. Reina and other forts. “ The Spanish authorities rather cen sure the United States for not strictly enforcing the neutrality laws, and many think that, as the sympathy of this country is more with the insur gent« than with the Spaniards, our gov ernment does uot want to take ths proper precautions to prevent expedi tions leaving the United States sea ports and landing in Cuba. I told tho ¡Spanish authorities that they must re member that there was an immense ex tent of seaoosst here with innumerable inlets and places where expeditions could be concentrated and embarked. From the trouble which they them selves had to prevent the landing of such expeditions on the Cuban ooast, notwithstanding their gunboats Hnd other vessels were constantly patroll ing tbe coast and on tbe lookout for fili busters, some idea oould be formed of the comparative ease with which tbe United States authorities could be evaded. With the comparatively small Cuban coast line, I knew of only one big expedition, that of the Three Friends, which had bcon captured by them. Yet this country had certainly prevented tho starting of at least a half-dozen big expeditions for the island. In view of this object lesson of the difficulty of putting a stop to filibustering, 1 contend that the Bpau- ish ought to be careful about censuring RAILROADS M illion IN CHINA.
