WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Nov. 13. (Special.) Wheat has been climbing this week, steadily although slowly, and prices quoted today were 3 cents above the low-water mark of the sea son's quotations. Club today brought 67 cents, although little of it was sold at that price. Turkey red and forty fold were a cent higher. 6S cents being offered with no sales. Bluestem was sold In small quantities at 70 cents. Farmers now believe that the wheat market is on the upgrade to go for sev eral cents, perhaps back to the early season mark, and believing this they are not selllnsr any grain. In fact. It w.il take a fluctuation of several cents, one way or the other, to loosen the marKet to any extent. Most of them have held for the 80 and S5-cent marks and hesi tate to drop their grain at 66 and 67 cents. As a result, although the quotations have been strengthened materially since last week, there has been much less trading on the wheat market than at that time. The present week, up to this time, has been the lightest of the season, practically no sales having been made. CLASSED,THE BEST.
