THE SIDEWALKS OARUY
as soon aa the market ijnsteadled and
at Walla Walla especially, great
batches of it were sold last week at 69
cents and under while they had been
holding for 80 cents.
Saturday was a brisk day in the lo
cal wheat centers, but it is apparent
that little will be bought until later
in the week. Kiddle Brothers at Island
city took' over a big batch Saturday,
but no sales were recorded yester
day. The Saturday purchases which
deluded some thirty-thousand bushels
closed at 65 cents. : . ' . ;..
With the market dull but always
calling for some wheat,1 the .farmers
locally continue to stand out for prices
Just a little above what the market
However if the present unsteadiness
continues it Is presumed many local
warehouses now holding thousands of
sacks, will commence to unloosen and
It Is probable that b,y thend of the
week some more big sales will have
been recorded. "
