likely, however. If the arrivals ehow no

dealers will be charging 46o tomorrow
morning for their select local stock.
The egg market is excited every

There was a slight Increase of easi
ness in the local barley situation. While
no changes are noted In the price of
either futures or cash at San Francisco,
the market is in excellent shape there,
with prices easily maintained at former
levela
Locally there was no ohange in bar
ley prices today, futures being quoted
on t Portland board of trade at the
Ban i figures that ruled yesterday.
Howrer. there was a disposition among
some of the southern buyers to shade
their Quotations a Dit. ana a saie or
200 tons of barley for January-February
delivery was made at $36.76.
The market lor oats futures was just
about able to hold its own today with
bids and asked values at yesterday's
figures. An actual sale of $00 tons for
February delivery was made at $31.75.
which is just about the ruling figures.
There was no change in wheat on the
board today, and the oash situation.
while firm. Is rather dull, wltn values
unchanged. While millers are still anx
ious to secure supplies of bluestem.
none are being offered under $1 a
bushel, and even at thle prioe It Is
doubtful if any great quantity could be
obtained.
Several sales of export nour are re
ported by local people to go forward
from the north.

The predictions made of better prloee
in the livestock market have been en
tirely fulfilled. As regards the cattle
market the tone Is so good at this time
that quotations 10c to 16c higher than
recent Bales are easily obtainable and
the market is In excellent shape at the
advance. Prospects for the cattle mar
ket's future could scarcely be better
than they are at this time. While the
run during the past 24 hours was quite
rair, tneae were tne nrst arrivals in
mat line since last Saturday.
- While only a handful of aheea
rived In during the 24 hours the mar
ket is very decided in Its views. For
strtotly fat wethers the trade believes
tnat an advance or Zoc eould be obtained
over previous quotations, or $4.60. AS
high as $4.26 has been obtained for
ordinary wetners recently. The ar

"The advance of lOo to 16o on cattle

of Hunt A Lacey. "The market has
