The Improvement promised In the cattle market has materialised and although there were no arrivals of cattle In the yards today the market may be said to i be 10 cents above previous figures espe cially ior ine Detur class or stock. The general absence of sufficient cat tle in the yards durlnar the Dast week i naa orougni me Kilters race to race wun Away back in August, before the harvest was completed the predic tion was made by The Journal that bluestem wheat would sell at tl a bushel this season. This prediction has now been fulfilled and there are indications at ;the.jnment that the price may break a few more rec ord, because there is not a sufficient amount of bluestem flour to supply the local trade. The heavy shipments to Europe at the start of the season are responsible for this condition. O By K ytn an R. Cohan. Bluestem wheat is selling as high as 1 a bushel at tidewater. This la the an. actual ahortage of supplies. Whilo I price received during the past few days a snori iime ago, tney were very eonn-i for a lot in the north and while nothing dent of their ability to hold back the higher than 6e a bushel has been paid advance for aq almost indefinite period I at Portland thus far it is not likely ucuauM ik 'nmr accumulated noiaiiiBa i mat any more wheat of this grade can then, practically every one of the b g be secured here under the dollar mark. -. 7 . . 4..lln..i rnntln. .ng excirt ih a few Instances In New York and Kurooean marts; p.atars zero Quoted Higher, Another cent a ,Jom baa been added to the price of eastern eggs W this market and In some quarters the ad I. .von more than this.

The crop in Argen tina is the only trouble the wheat mar ket is having at this time. Late cables from there Indicate that the. exportable surplus will be quite small compared to previous estimates. This caused a sharp advance in Liverpool futures after an easy opening there. Liverpool opened unchanged for the three options, but closed Hd to Id above the last figures of Saturday... December option is practically caah delivery and the fluctuations in that delivery scarcely show the condition of the future market. In this market there was a firm tone In the May and July after the opening and another fraction was added to the price at the closing. The American visible supply, not in cluding Canada, shows: Wheat Increased 2,948,000 bushels. Corn Increased 784,000 bushels. Oats Increased 87,000 bushels. 1 Primary receipts in bushels: . " Today.
