WEEKLY lyiARKET LETTER.
Office of Downing, Hopkins & Co., Chicago
B'fcrd of Trade Brokers. 711-714 Chamber of Com
merce Building, Portland, Oregon.
Exports of flour and wheat from both
coasts 'ast Week were 4,695,000 bush
els, or 700,000 bushels more than the
previous week, and double the same
week last year. Receipts are expected
to fall off. We have now "reaohed the
time where the exports generally de
crease; at least they have in the past
years, as the first six months of the
crop year generally marks the largest
t export business. There is every indi
cation, however, of a good export move'
rnent from now on, as liberal engage'
merits have been for wheat, oorn and
oats. Foreigners continue to buy mod
erately when the market gets weak, so
that the outward movement will grad
ually cut into the wheat stocks, which
are none too heavy if the exports are to
keep up large. Argentine news favors
an exportable surplus of about 85,000,
000 bushels, but some good authorities
make it only 3,000,000 bushels. This
is used as a club by the bears and con
sumers to prevent an advanoe here.
, There will be no Argentine wheat avail
able in European markets before the
latter part of March. In the meantime
their light stocks will be reduced, and
they will have to come in as buyers,
,The American visible supply of wheat
increased tnis weeK 47,uuu Dusneis, ana
now totals 38,803,000 bushels against
58,872,000 bushels for the correspond
ing period a year ago. Although the
movement of corn for 1897 was 116,-
747,000 bushels, and the shipments
97,427,000 bushels an inorease in the
receipts of 24,000,000 bushels and in
10,000,000 bushels in the shipments,
they were less than the arrivals of oats,
receipts of the latter being 1,338,000
bushels in excess of corn, while the
shipments were 7,000,000 bushels
greater, aggregating 104,666,000 bush
els. The feeling in corn and oats is
bullish. . There is a strong disposition
on the part of many looal traders to
keep on the long side. The Trego
Smith people have accumulated a big
line, and they are getting quite-a fol
lowing. Exports of corn for the week
were heavy. '

COTTON FOR THE NORTHWEST.
New Crop to Be Tried East of Cascades
Other Plants Will Be Tried.
Oregon and Washington will raise
ootton next season. Their cotton crop
will probably not ' bear'; the market
the first year, but there Is no telling
what effect ootton will have on the in
dustrial conditions of the future. The
cotton production of this year will be
under the fostering care of the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company, which
has just opened an industrial depart'
ment that Will expermient with various
things to develop the country reached
by its transportation lines. This is a
far-sighted scheme of President Mohler,
H. C. Judson,who has had considerable
experienoe in such matters in the East,
has been put at the head of the depart
ment. He will be guided to a grett
extent in his operations by the agncul
tural colleges of Oregon and Washing
ton.
Cotton is successfully grown in the
pan-handle of Texas, at altitudes rang
ing from 1,000 to 1,500 feet above the
sea, where frosts ocour in April. In
some parts of Eastern Oregon frost hn
been absent through the entire yen
Portions of Umatilla oounty are esr.i
oiallv favored in this lespect. The ex
periments with cotton will be made in
the arid and semi-arid sections of East
ern Oregon and Eastern Washington
in Wasco, Sherman, Morrow and Uioa
tllla oounties, of Oregon, and Whitman
and Adams counties, of Washington.
While the cotton plant will stand a
great deal -of moisture, it can also en
dure drought. It sends roots deep
Into the ground. In many places where
wheat is not a reliable crop, or cannot
be grown at all on account of the lack
of moisture, it Is believed cotton will
flourish. If so, it will solve the irriga
tion problem for those sections. . A
thorough test will be made the coming
season.
Among the' other things in view by
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com
pany's industrial department is the
introduction of tobacco raising. A
considerable oolony of Cubans in Florida
are negotiating to come out to the Pa
cific Northwest to raise and manu
facture tobacco, and the parts of Ore
gon and Washington lying east of the
Cascade mountains are believed to pos
sess all of the conditions suited to the
business. The destruction of the trade
in Cuba has turned the . attention of
these people to other fields of operation,
and they have sent agents here to look
the matter up.. Martinez, the great
cigar man of Key West, examined the
country east of the mountains recently,
apd he did not doubt that tobacoo of a
superior quality could be produced in
thefVicinity of Blalock, in Gilliam
county.
: The production of forage plants in
the Indland Empire will also engage
the attention of this move for industrial
development. Incidental to this will
come a thorough investigation of the
possibilities of dairying and raising
livestook under different conditions
than now prevail conditions that will
admit of a fuller development of the
country. A number of new trees will
also be experimented with, to see if
they will not have the effect of precipi
tating moisture, so as to make arable
areas now arid. Among the exotios is
tree that is said to have redeemed a
portion of France 'from desert conditions
ages ago a gum tree that is a native of
Assyria. It is reasonable to suppose
that the tree would be valuable in the
dry seotions of the Inland Empire, and
it will be given a trial there.
; The mechanical device of : a Boise
man for raising water from streams for
irrigating purposes will also be thor
oughly tested. It consists of a cylin
der, on the outside of whioh are buck
ets that fold automatically, and the
oontrivance issaid to .work well in a
current so slow even as two miles an
hour. ,
The excitement over gold in Alaska
will bring thousands and thousands of
men, many of whom will for the first
time see the great natural advantages
of the farming country and not go to
the Yukon at all, stopping to plant
their own vines and flu trees, under
which they will repose in comfort and
happiness, while the goldhunters suffer
the hardships and uncertainties of the
chase for sudden affluence. ',
In speaking of the proposed enter
prise a prominent business man said
recently:
Many will go up the Alaska coast
and return to Oregon and Washington
to make their homes. Still others will
go to the gold fields and then return to
engage in more sober pursuits. Prac
tically all will have to pass through
the Northwest oountry, and the trip
will educate them. A new era is open
ing for these states,' and the far-seeing
and energetic ones are preparing to
meet the new conditions. Prosperity
and progress are not in the dim dis
tance, but are at the door, and it is
common sense and business sagacity to
take these steps for opening and devel
oping the resources of the country."

Professor F. L. Washburn, biologist
at the university of Oregon, has for
some time been in correspondence with
the commissioner of fish and fisheries
at Washington, D. C, to secure 'n ad
ditional lot of Eastern oysters for
Yaquina bay, and has just received
wprd from Commissioner Brice to the
effect that no more oysters can be sup
plied until further developments are
made in the plant already located.
Professor Washburn is of the opinion
that the oysters already planted will
thrive, and feels in no way discouraged.

French Women as Business Helpers.
Miss Anna L. Bicknell writes an ar
ticle on "French Wives and Mothers"
for the January Century. She says :
In the families where the father con
ducts any business the wife becomes
his best clerk, and usually his cashier.
The wives are exceedingly . intelligent
and acute, extremely sharp at driving
bargains, and accurate in keeping ac
counts. They are their husbands' part
ners in every sense of the word, and it
is wonderful to see how they acquit
themselves of guch a multiplicity of
duties. Self is completely annihilated;
and If weak health is mentioned, it is
never an impediment to what they have
to do for their children or their hus
bands, but is mentioned only as a dis
agreeable accompaniment to a necessary
fatigue, without an idea of using it as
an exouse for shortcomings.
COULDN'T MAKE IT.
The bull that tried to butt down a bridge,
and the goat that tackled an anvil, couldn't
make it, and were knocked out, braised
and bleeding. From such bruises down to
pin-head blue spots they are curable, easily
and surely. The men who get the worst
bruises always get the best cure. They
make it everv time. There are riirhk wavs
and wrong ways of doing things, as the brill
and the goat found out- The best cure for
a bruise Is St. Jacobs Oil. The right way
to cure is to use it and find out.

SI0NALLYC0NFIDENTIAL IVorkers in the wide, unexplored field of
modern chemistry are daily astounding the
world with new wonders." Professor and
layman vie with each other in their com
mendable efforts to lessen the ills of human
ity. Yesterday it was Pasteur and Kock,
and today it is" Slocum, with a new discov
ery which is the result of years of careful
study and research. ..: . ,i .
.Foremost among the world's greatest "
chemists stands T. A. Slocum, of New York
City. His researches and experiments,
patiently carried on for years, have finally
culminated in results which are proving as
beneficial to humanity as the discoveries of
any chemist,ancient or modern. His efforts
which for years had been directed fcovard
the discovery of a positive cure for con
sumption, were finally successful, and al
ready his "new scientific system of medi
cine" has, by its timely use, permanently
cured thousands of apparently hopeless
cases, and it seems a necessary and humane
duty to bring such facts to the attention of
all invalids.
The medical profession throughout
America and Europe are almost unainious
in the opinion that newly all physical ail
ments naturally tend to the generation of
consumption. The aimcted die in the
short, cold days of winter much faster than
in the long, hot days of summer. 1
The Doctor has proved the dreaded dis
ease to be curable peyond a doubt, in any
climate, and has on file in his American
and European laboratories' thousands of
letters of heartfelt gratitude from those
benefited or cured in all parts of the world.
No one having, or threatened with, any
disease, should hesitate a dav, but should
write at once. Facts prove that the Doctor
has discovered a reliable and absolute cure
for Consumption (Tuberculosis) and ail
bronchial, throat, lung and chest troubles,
stubborn doughs, catarrhal affections, scrof
ula, general decline and weakness, loss of
flesh, and all tvasting conditions, and to
demonstrate its wonderful merits, he will
send Three Free Bottles (all different) of
his New Discoveries, with full instructions,
to any reader of this paper,
Simply write to T. A. Slocum. M. C, 98
Pine straet, New York, giving full address.
There is no charge for- correspondence
advice strictly professional and confiden
tial. Knowing, as we ' do, of the . undoubted
efficacy of The Slocum System of Medicine,
we urge every sufferer to take advantage of
this most liberal proposition.
A system of medical treatment tna't will
cure catarrh, lung troubles and consump
tion is certainly good for and will cure
any wasting disease that humanity is heir
to.
Please tell the Doctor, when writing, that
you read his generous offer in our paper.
