Wheat The upward movement in Euros which started Just prior to the Christmas holidays, continued la mo tluu until the oSiuing of the present week, when the advance was checked. The Usui situation has not lsn affected much either way owing to tbe flrmuess of shipowners, who have Insisted on a portion, at least, of the advance In wheat abroad. Owing to the freight situation here, it Is difficult to give ao cvrate wheat quotations. We quote valley nominally for immediate dellv- ry at $1.15 and l.lij. Oats While recent receipts have beeu light, amounting to about 2000 centals by rail last week, dealers report warehouse stocks as large, and the de maud somewhat dissapolntiiig. The latest sale reported here of any consid erable quantity, was a two car lot of choice feed at 42 cts. per bushel. Quote 40 to 44 cts, per bushel. Baki.ky Feed quantities are lu very poor request, and $17 to $17.50 per ton represents buyers' ideas. For brewing, there Is apparently no demand, and quotations wholly nominal. Hore Since our last review the sit uation has been, ou the whole, more favorable to sellers, although very few sales have trauspired. A good many poor hops are ollcred, and the best hltl for such is 10 cts. per pound, aud from that up to 18 cts., according to uusnilly. Extra choice would prob ably fetch something better, say J9 or eveu20ots. . '.;.. :.. Potawks Tho demand oontinues steady, and ready sale Is found for good stock from 85 to 95 cts. per sack is paid here for good quality. Bi rr KR Choice table butter Is very firm, aud not over plentiful; poorer grades are In large supply aud weaker. Quote fancy creamery, 35 and 37 cts. per pound; choice dairy, 30 to 32 J . Etuis Market very weak owing to heavy reeeluts. Quote fresh Oregon ranch at 30 cts. per dozeu. The new resident dentist, Dr, S. A. Mulkey, has his office over O'Dounell's hardware store.
