Willi at At last we have the pleasure
orrecordiugaclteik to the long eon
tiiiuwl decllue lu wheat aud hojK the
Improvemuut now taking place will be
permanent. As to Inlluuuces which
have brought about the retraction:
probably the extremely low prices at
which wheal was selling up to a week
ago attracted numerous buyer who
were satisfied that values could hardly
go lower aud lelt quite safe in
taking up cargoes ou speculation. Val
ley I In light export demand and sales
raw and far betweeu fl.lfi Is probably
it market value.
Oats The best that cau be said for
oats is that I or ices have bcou main
tained lu th face of a dull marketdlght
deiuaud aud small oousuinpttoii. Per
haps the Ntcadtnos I mostly due to
cutting off of Nupplies which if tbey
had beeu able to reach this market
duriug the past week would have had
depressing ctfect and certainly
lowered values, We quote range of
tlie market at 40 aud 44 cents fur fair
to choice.
Baki.kv Offering and receipt are
light but are entirely dequut to
meet the requirements of tbl market. !
Brewers have, no prcnsing wants and
only purchase when attracted by
quality and price. Feed dlscriptlons
are wanted only In small quantities.
Quotation are only reported in a
nominal way at about f M jwr ton and
feed fl7 and 1H per tun.
Hoi The present condition of the
bop market Udccidely advenm lo the
selling Interest. Locally very few trans
action have occurred as dealers are
ludllicreut about operating on a falling
market aud only buy wbcu tbey cau
turu over tlte hop prom nil v. We
mote to choice IS aud W cents per lb.
Potatoks No material change In
this market. Quotations remain about
the same as last weck,0o A 7. ocuts ht
bushel.
Worn. One or two lots of Eastern
Oregon wool received during the week
for local house but the movement is
dow aud but a small Inquiry exists
for auy grade. Quote valley 15 sud 18
cents per pound.
DlTTKU This market was quite
bare of freah Oregon product through
out the week owing to non arrival uf
ouall shipments and tw conse
quence there was a run on California
and outside qualities. We quote fancy
creamery 85 aud S7J cents per pound;
choice dairy 80 and 32 per pound,
fair to gotal 20 and 25 omit per pound,
common 15 aud 17 per pound.
Etiua Reccut supplies being quite
large aud the demand having fallen oil'
the market i rather weaker and !t-
