Widdle West Grain for Pacific Market. Minnesota an Dakota Farmers Attracted by Better Prices on This Coist. TACOMA. Nov, S.-For the first time in the history of the West Puget Sound Is a market place lor wheat yrown in the Middia Weat. This was brought about by the battle, which lias for weeks been in progress between the milling men In this section and- tlei' exporters. Kaeh wnnls the remainder of the Northwest crop and each is willing to pay for that wheat more than la now being offered on the Chicago board. This Is causing Da kota mid Minnesota wheat to move to--ward -thtB -point as gYrrejay- to" tti commerce of the world. The' Tacoma market Is generally 10 cents lower then phlrngo quotations, but this year the fight between those who had large shipping orders on hand and those jwlio had certain qualitvUea of- ftour To'V8uf'pry'T'ectfWy' s'tfolig': ' The miris" "rlt l.'veretl forced IM' market early in the season and caused wheat rrom the Walla Walla Valley to be shipped out that way, when always In. the past they Mad drawn their grain from Northern Wash ington. All this Is caused by the ex cessive drain upon' the granaries In lWH. During that year1 wheat that had been held by farmers for several years was sold at profit, and when the season closed there was less grain on hand in Oregon and Washington than before since 1896. This condition rendered necessary the purchase of wheat direct from the farmer early in lfi2. and as soon as the harvest whs well under way bidding for the crop bepan. In many sections of the North west wheat was Iwiight while still stand ins In the field, something entirely new in this district. The yield this year was less than had been exacted, and this proved another incentive toward higher prices. The re sult has been a rise In the price of wheHt unparalb bil in the West until the Chicago market was dominated and the md Is not yet Wheat from the Middle West Is now being marketed nn the Pa ctPe Coast, and before the fight is ende! still other states ihan Minnesota and the Dakotas may contribute their portion. - ALASKAN SALMON.

The Record-Herald says: The American grain markets were closed yesterday. Liverpool wheat showed practically no change, d' lower on December and May and td higher on March.

Several firms here with cor respondents at Rosarlo cabled Wednesday for denial or confirmation of Broomhall report of rains on the eve of the South American wheat harvest. Replies to these inquiries will be here today, and they will lend some Influence on today's market. Minneapolis mills, according to a Northwest miller, turned out last week 401,136 barrels of flour, against 367.175 the week previous and 351,650 the same week last year. It was the product of 1,740.000 bushels of wheat. The Min neapolis report of wheat in store la 6. 269,000 bushels. SThe mills this week will grind about -430,000 barrels of flour, the nroduct of 1, $76, 000 bushels of wheat. This authority says of the flour situation; "The nearness of the closfe Of lake navi gation and the prospects of an advance In freight rates n December 8 furnish a strrng Incentive to run strongly. The mills experienced a quiet week in flour. There may have been some that sold their full output but they were the ex ceptions. Domestic abuyers were looking for lower prices and when the advance In freight was figured they were quite in different. Where orders were placed the flour was wanted quickly, giving support to the belief that comparatively small stocks existed everywhere. Again, direc tions on old orders came in freely. Some mills have a great deal of flour sold ahead, while others have not. No Important Changes. NEW YORK. Nov. The Times Says:... . . . , .

It Is rather a far cry. however, to declare as Home people in the street do declare that the present market had been deliberately forced In order to permit Interests to accumulate cheap stocks In anticipation of pending deals. The truth la that the greater part of the general decline has been forced by professional bear operators who have taken advantage of unfavorable develop ments to help them in their campaign of depression.

Interests In touch with Republic Iron Steel speak In a most encouraging view regarding not only th present but the prospective business as well.
