WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. Trade Conditions in the Leading Citiel of the World. 'v . Last week was a very important one in the Chicago wheat market. May wheat advanced 6 cents per bushel and January 18 oents. Statistics were all in favor of high prioes, but the main feature is the Letter corner. , He claims to be able to put May wheat to $1.25. . The exports from both coasts to Europe were very large 5,110,624 bushels, and the visible supply showed a very good decrease. The foreign news situation is as bewildering as it usually is on wheat. Speculators have their eyes on Argentine, not because it contributes so much, but because i it sells so furiously the 25,000,000 bush els it has to contribute. The English men at Liverpool learned something during the week to make them nervous about the, South American Bupplids, yet direct Eosario cables reported rjoth. ing more serious than a cessation of de liveries because of rains, and the Ar gentine shipments for the week were 828,000 bushels, a big start so soon after harvesting. The flour people talked dolorously of the demand and of the demoralizing effeot of the corn adulteration going on; and then, to make this as puzzling as every other feature, Minneapolis reported. 200,000 barrels of flour sold in two days. The winter wheat condition so far is high, . and recent heavy snows have minim ized the danger for the present. E ports keep large, and new purchases for foreign account small. ' The movement from first hands is away over any ex pectatiori, but the supplies of contraot wheat everywhere are in suoh few hands as to be unavailable and in most markets at startling premiums. Janu ary wheat at New York for a few min utes was 12 oents oash at Chicago and 12 oents over the May price at New York. All of which should be new proof that no one can tell very muoh with any certainty about a subjeot which involves the supplies and needs of the whole world. Portland Market.

Jones, press cor respondent in Dawson City, he says. among other things: "The stories of the great yield of gold published in the United States have not been exaggerated in the least, The mind is unable to grasp the real situation, and appreciate the sights that are so oommon here to every-day life, In Dawson City today, ready for ship. merit, are between four and five tons of gold. Can you realize that such thing is possible, or at all probable? Just consider, too, that all that is about one-third of the year's output Men handle gold as you would a plug of tbbacoo. At the saloon bars, the stores, restaurants or other . places of business, the mines throw up their sacks, and casually turn their backs, never stopping to see if they are ac corded proper weight. Would 'you think of handing your purse over to a Portland barkeeper and allowing him to take out the change? "In many of the cabins along the gulches where I have visited ' I have seen shelves loaded down with all kinds of cans filled with gold, , In one cabin on Eldorado oreek there are five coal-oil cans full of the yellow metal, weighing nearly 1,200 pounds. "The Canadians are exeroising the laws leniently, and to the satisfaction of the Americans,' and generally speak ing, the camp is orderly and very quiet, considering the vast amount of money in circulation, and the number of hard characters in thB country." Some Notes on Alaska. , There are two telephone lines be tween Dyea and Lindemann. , T. E. Needham'has just started the Stiokeen Eiver Journal at Fort Wran gel. , The weather is so moderate at Ju neau that the people are not wearing overcoats. . . 5 ' It is estimated that the carrying ca pacity of Portland and Puget sound Bteamers foots up 10,000 passengers per month. : The lumber " famine continues at Dyea and Skagway, and prices rule $5 to $50. The dealers promise a supply in a few days. Good weather for build ing continues. Colonel E. O. Lamphere and M. P. Gilbert, of Chicago, captialists, have purchased of a gang of Greek miners seven "gold quartz claims in Southeastern Alaska for $120, 000. A large force of men and teams are getting out and delivering piles for the Nowell wharf at Dyea. This wharf will probably be the first of the three wharves under construction to be com pleted. An ordinary shaok if there were lumber to build it with in Skagway will rent for $50 to $60 a month. A squatter's right on a lot not far from the central district brought an offer of $700 to a Portlander. It was refused. Archie Sheep and W. Stewart, ol Dawson, presented to the famous "Slim" Birch as a testimonial of re- gard a nugget two inches in diameter. It is worth $200. Slim s convict num ber in San Quentin will be engraved on it and it will adorn his neck. J. M. Fowler's townsite scheme at Lake Lindormann, by which he hoped to plat out all the aavilable land and tax everybody $2 who put a tent on it, has been knocked in the head by the Canadian government, whioh has re served this particular land for the use of the publio to put up tents and store their goods there without charge. J. Kay, of San Francisco, who took a cargo of lumber to Skagway on the Noyo, says' so great is the demand for lumber that they can hardly wait until it is unloaded. Mr. Kay says that but a small per cent of the hundreds of people arriving at Dyea aDd Skagway, intent 6n pushing on to Dawson, have any conception of the difficulties be fore them. He predicts that conges tion on the trails will be greater than last season. . ' - ' .. A company, of whioh J. J. McKay, the Yukon freighter and the man who made the quickest tri,p ever made from Dawson to Dyea during the winter, is the head, has been organized atTaooma to run an express between that pity and Dawson. The company will operate steamers on the lakes, and from the White Horse rapids- to Dawson, using dog and horse trains in paoking from Dyea. It is estimated that the trip from Tacoraa to Dawson will be made in 18 days in the summer and 25 days in the winter. The company will at tempt to secure mail contracts. At present mail is scattered all along the trail, and McKay asserts that he is the only man who ever succeeded in de livering mail on the Yukon during the winter. Colleotor of . Customs J. W. Ivey is receiving -a good deal of praise for his vigorous policy in enforcing the laws regrading the liquor traffic. 'As long as the laws are in effect they will' 'be enforced. His vigilance in seizing contraband stuff is attracting general attention. The liquor men are growl ing because he shipped away 20 tons of the stuff on the Elder. '; The new ad ministration is making warm times in the North, and, as a natural result, the collector is cordially disliked by the Juneau smuggling ring. About every party of miners nOw fit ting out for Alaska takes along a net or seine, which is set at night In .some eddy through a hole in the ice, and sel dom fails to oato fish enough for break fast. After the ice is gone, there is no trouble in oatching fish in any stream flowing into the Yukon. A report has readied Portland that one Sullivan for merly a fisherman at Yaquina, who went to Alaska last f spring, engaged in ihe fishing business at Dawson, and, with the limited plant at his command, wade $7,000 last summer. i . r . , , . .

Black and blue colors are not subject to fashions this season nor in any season. They hold their own and will not wash out. They are pretty solid colors, and but for the misery of wearing them, might become fashionable. Some men take pride In wear ing them as tokens of their profession, as soldiers do their scars. But cruises, black or blue, or both, ought to have immediate attention, for under them may be a nerve hurt or a muscle badly wrenched. A black and blue bruise is a bad thing, not only from its tender soreness but the contused blood is prevention of regular circulation. While sore spots like these will not wash out, there' is something that will rub them out in no time, and that is St. Jacobs Oil. It is peculiarly adapted to their quick cure. A pennant can be won only by hard knocks, with scars and bruises, lx.it after the ball is over, if anv remain, this one cure is the best. .., Bruises come from con tusion in all avocations, and it is well to remember at all times just what will cure them the best. .

NEW CRAZY SECT IK CONNECTICUT. A lot of fanatics in the state recently im mersed an old rheumatlo wpmah bodily in the water to "heal her" as they said. 8he nearly died In consequence. How much better it would have been to have treated the poor old woman for her infirmity with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which not only cures rheuma tism, hut tireventH kidnev comolaint and rem edies dyspepsia, constipation, liver trouble and nervous prostration, uive it a systematic trial.

GIRLS IN STORES, offices, or factories, are peculiarly liable to female diseases, especially those who are constantly on their feet. Often they are unable to perform their duties, their suffering is so intense. When the first symptoms present themselves, such as backache, pains in groins, head ache, dizzi ness, swelled feet, blues, etc., they should at once write Mrs. Finkham at Lvnn, Mass., stating symptoms. She will tell them exactly what to do. Gbacb B. StaKsbubt, Pratt, Kansas, says: 1 suffered from intense pains in the womb andovaries, and the backache was dreadful. I had leucorrhcea in itr worst form. Thus I dragged along. At last I WTote to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. Her answer came promptly. I read carefully her letter, and con cluded to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound. After taking two bottles I felt much, better j but after Vising six bottles I was cured."
