Following tbe bisk prices which ruled daring the prerloua see. son, tbe action of tlie marketa ttrf aeaaoa waa rea mors plesslng to the men that grow the golden grain.- Pnrlng lbs week the msrket showed a set decline of t cents, the prlc losing cents. tu.t Sera hied 1 cent later.' The floor market waa llkewles quiet daring the week. The only note of Interest In the ' market waa the reduction la export Tslnss. there being cat of 10 cenU per barrel In former quotations.

The week shows consider abb) dullness In the local potato' market. There Is ronntderahla dlacnaalon as to what fsnry .quality really consists, sll lsts shipments from this market to tba aonth being classed as sec ond grade wheat reacting their desttnatloa. -Muring ths) week the potato shlppsrs formed a combination for mutual protection agslnst tbeee that woald practice fraud -la In .packing. It 'was 'screed among the dealers that so ether member ,of tbe aasnrletloa woald purchase, eup nlles that bad been rejected by another mem ber. The rsnclstinnJhjAnlnxj i reTifriTrnsTijrTcesna only object belrii to protect Its members as to quality. . Tti Milm eierket eraa rather oulet during the week, but the tone Jls somewhat stronger than a week age. Prices, bowerer, held rbs aaais. Hop atsrkst Lswsr After Dullness. ' After sereral day of eitretne dullneaa, the bop msrket shows a net decline for ths week ' of about Ic a pound. rJhorts bars roeered sll Immedlst requirements snd sre laying back re ' rlew the sltustloa from a distance. Thss Is rather trying on the nerres of the growers and some of them are araln making; efforts - to sell. A continuance of tlita action would bar a eery bad affect apon the market and prices. Just now the market la awaiting with a exeat desl of Interest , to see whst Knslsnd hi going . to do. Beyond tbe ablpment or some snort ssies In that direction there he been no 1st busi ness reported. --It- la now generally sareed hy toe growers thst they won Id not profit by ac cepting tbe offer of Durst, the California grower, to conalrn their hop to hits for shlnr meat ta- ths Kngltab market.

Turkeys practically dis appeared from the market during tbs week, hut , they weV not missed to sny extent, traders ' not sren inquiring as to prices, Tbe coming week will likely show considerable Improre ' ment in the demand, bat the trade ta general is not expecting such high price ss rnled Just previous to Thsnksglrlng.
