The general trade Is offering 88c for club and 89c for bluestem track basis. r "The Drtco of our flour is arettinar ao high that the orient can no longer af ford to - purchase It" ssys M. Sends, local representative of Mitsui ft Co.. known as the Rothschilds of Japan. "Prices being asked here ' for both wheat and flour are getting beyond the reach of Japanese buyers. We are not compelled to purchase our supplies here, but go to the cheapest market, quality considered. Australia Is practically on a European exporting oasis at this tlms while the Pacific northwest Is so high that export business is not al lowed. . . "Mitsui & Co. do not' have all the space on outgoing liners to China and Japan but have considerable. We char tered an entire ship, the Unkai Maru, to take a cargo of breadstuffs to Japan. The ship is bringing a cargo of sugar to British Columbia from the orient and will arrive here in time for loading next month." While one local mill has 'advanced Its quotation on patent flour 20c a bar rel to $4.70, the other three mills are still quoting- $4.60 as their price. The market has advanced 20c a barrel in California and an effort Is being made on Puget sound to put that market on the same basis today. Outside of the one mill that has a ad vanced its quotations, Portland millers were undecided in their " views this morning as to any immediate rise. However, the impression is general that the rise will be forced soon. Export market is firm but quiet at the recent advance. - CHICAGO LIVESTOCK MARKET All Lines Show Steady Tone; Run of Hogs Is Increased. ft,! ..n ... : A . T...
