HOW IT iMAY AFFECT US.
Should hostilities break out between
Great Britain and the Transvaal, It
may result In a considerable Increase
In our exports to South, Africa, or at
least there will be more direct trading
with that country and the payment of
less money to British middlemen, says
the Spokane Review. While the Unit
ed States furnishes many commodities
to South Africa, it is done through
British houses. It is only to preserv
ed meats that our people are able to
do much direct trading. Nearly all
other kinds of goods are first sent to
England to "Toe labeled.
England has furnished the salted
meats for the Cape but 4hey feave been
American hams, sides and shoulders
which have first been sent to England
to be cured and sold. South Africa
Imported 13,292,643 pounds of ' soap,
nearly aU of wh-lch came from Eng
land and was made from American
fat and cottonseed olL Of all the to
bacco and cigars sent by England to
the colony In 1898, the raw material
was "produced In Virginia, North Caro
lina and Kentucky. More than 65.000
gallons of vinegar made from Ameri
can apples was Imported into South
Africa, -and England supplied all but
1000 gallons. The Untied Kingdom
sold over 5,000,000 dollars worth of cot
ton goods In South vAfrtca and the raw
material was mainly from the United
States. I ' I
While this country has done the pro
ducing. Great j Britain as middleman
has reaped a, good part of the profits.
Perhaps -with a war on her bands her
capacity to serve as the middleman
may be lessened. If so, it will result
to our advantages. ' .
A PUBLIC MARKET PLACE.
In Omaha trey have a novel scheme
in the way of a public ntarket for the
accomodation cf the fanners, garden
ers and orchaijdlsts of the surrounding
country. , The merchants and proper
ty owners .on both sides cf cne of the
principal elrelts, the length of two
blocks, have given over to the city
the right to rent the sidewalks and the
street. The spar. are measured oft
and numbered, each number covering
enough ro"m for one waron to back
up to the" sldevalk, and sufficient
spare on the sidewalk 4n each case for
the display of the wares ' of the pro
ducer. Thene itumbcrtd spaces are
auctioited oft once each year. The
bids vary from 10 to $25, according to
location. When a producer has
bought the use of a locution, htf Is en
titled to back his wagon up there ev
ehy morning in the year, and to sell his
proiluce therefrom, and from the
amount of rootr. he Is ' allowed for
display, on the sidewalk. Of he is en
titled to allow his neighbor, or any one
else, to do the same. In addition, he
must pay 10 cents each day or the
oue using the space for the day; must
pay the 10 cents. A license commis
sioner, with police powers, has charge,
for the collection cf the licenses, the
maintenance of order, sod the settle
ment of disputes that may arise. The
street In front of those two bkks pre
sents a lively appearance, especially
at this lme of the year.'- The re were
displayed there, a few days ago, ty a
very cosmopolitan crowd, dealing with
a very cosmopolitan assemblage of
buyers, Nebraska and Iowa raised
apples, grapes, (tomatoes, potatoes,
muskmelons, watrmelons, ground
cherTfos, cucumbers; beans, and other
fresh fruits and vegetables. Perhaps
this would be a good thing for Salem.
The difficulty would probably be to
get the business men and proj-erty

over to the city the right to make such
an arrangement. . In mo3t f the

AN UNSTABLE PJtlCE
LOCAL HOP MARKET HAS NOT YET
BEEN ESTABLISHED.
Advices of Eastern Bayers to Coast
Agents .Said to Vune a Low
8ehedule.
The local hop market has not yet been
established and there Is consequently
an unsettled condition in hop circle in
this city and for that matter on the
coast. The reason for this Is the re
ceipt of unfavorable advices from East
ern buyers to their coast agents and the
announcement of a. schedule, of prices
considerably lower than bad been anti
cipated by the sanguine growers."
As a, consequence of the unfixed con
dition of the market, no ales are being
made and the hop market is unusually
inactive. A scene of great activity la
presented at the Southern Pacific Com
pany's hop warehouse In this city,
where, daily, many bales of this year's
crop are delivered for storage, pending
the establishing of a market' and the
offering of a price.
A prominent Salem buyer yesterday
said that the advices received from the
Eastern buyers would not justify of
fering the large figures that had been
expected by growers. He stated that
the quotations authorized toy his house
was about 13 cents for choice hops and
from 10 to 11 cents for the inferior
grades.

Seeinga woman's letter prais

that my case was a hopeless one,
and no human power could do me
any good. They were astounded.
