Tha same Interest places the amount of wneat in tne bands or miners and deal ers at 1,600,000 buahels, making total holdings of the cereal In Oregon, Idaho and Washington 6,000,000 bushels. This Is the smallest amount of wheat estimated in tha hand of local lntereata to date this season but the figures are now considered approximates correct by the trade ln general. Wheat mrket is excited ss a result of the scarcity of stocks and bids for club are being made as high ss 84986o a bushel, basis track delivery. Portland.
