TTTE MORNING OREGOXIAy. THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1914. 19 HEW WHEAT BOUGHT Contracts Signed on Basis of 80 Cents for Club. JULY SHIPMENT REQUIRED Xetv Crop Grain for Later Delivery Quoted at 7 6 to 7 7 Cents Spot Demand Limited and Lower Prices Indicated. The slackness of the demand for wheat from most of the customary buying quar ters has brought prices In the local market down to the basis of Oriental offers. Club was quoted yesterday at 87tt88 cents, at which figures it Is understood the Japanese will take on limited quantities. Bluestem Is being held fairly well and sellers are ask ing 9394 cents. The demand for this sort is also small, but not much of it is left except In the Big Bend country. Red wheat and forty-fold are practically unob tainable now. A little contracting for club has been done on the basis of SO cents for July ship ment. Dealers figure the market for later shipment on the basis of present freights and canal traffic prospects, at 76 or 77 cents. There has also been a small amount of business done In new crop barley, contracts having been written at $19.50020 for feed and 120.50 21 for brewing grade. The spot barley market is most unsatisfactory. The demand Is Insignificant and available stocks are large. Holders, however, are not making much effort to sell and some of them are asking as much for barley in the country as It le worth here.

City creamery butter will be advanced 2H cents a pound this morning to 27 i cents for prints. There has been an in crease in the make, but not as great as some of the creamery men expected. The demand for butter has been active at the low price lately prevailing and the butter men de clare they have had no difficulty in working off their surplus. The Ice cream trade is now taking a larger proportion of the cream output. Cheese prices will probably be reduced again next week and the trade would not be surprised if a 15-cent market prevalla The Hush of the manufacturing season is near at hand and supplies are accumulating. The tendency of the egg market is steadily upward. Sales were made in a small way at 21 cents, case count, but the general market held at 20 y cents. Poultry and dresssed meats were in light demand and dealers found it difficult to ..clean up at the present low quotations. STRAWBERRY MARKET OVERSTOCKED Four Hundred Crates of Oregona Received.

Six cars of bananas arrived, three in good order and three too ripe. Four cars for Portland passed Billings yesterday In good condition.
