While there Is only a small amoun

only nominal demand now showing.
Tbst miller have about all tha wheat
they need for present season's require
ments is indicated by the lasy tone that
tha market has shown recently. If
there waa any decided shortage In the
holdings of grinders It would not pay
them to hold back from the market for
the sake of a cent a bushel.
This applies to the biggest milling
concerns, for the small miller is hot so
amply stocked with grain and Is forced
Into the market more often owing to his
limited storage capacity and scattered
neeas.
A canvass of the-altuatlon would lndl
cata that the big mlllera are not heavily

their holdings of club and other varie
ties are mora than they will need until
the 1913 crop la harvested and aged
sufficiently for grinding. This will
probably force a steady market for
bluestem and the premium between that
variety and sorter wheats is again like
ly to sbow an Increase.
Since, tha law no longer allows the
bleaching or flour In interstate trade.
few of the larger millers are uslna tha
process or can afford to. This, there
fore, forces them to use more bluestem
In their blends than formerly, a condi
tion which In itself Is sure to affect
the differential between the various
qualities.
un account ox tne very excellent crop
prospects, millers do not Intend to carry
over more oia wneat tnan they will
need until the new grain Is fit to grind.
The high price at ' present precludes
heavy buying and this, together with
the prospects for the greatest crop on
record, is likely to have a quieting ef
fect upon the trade at the closing of the
season.
POTATO - TRADE LOWER

WEEK'S NEWS GOOD
FOR STOCK MARKET
for any salmon during tha week
Competition between buyers has been
unusually severe both along the lower
Columbia and ia the Willamette. At
Oregon City the fight was g brought
about by tha entrance of a Columbia
river packer Into the buymg field.
Formerly thla was the exclusive terri
tory of Portland wholesalers snd prices
were nf their own making. While aa a
rule they paid aa good a value as was I
shown along tha Columbia, the fisher. I
men maae tne claim that when supplies
were very neavy tne price was cut.
Tha situation at Oregon City waa fur
ther enlivened by the entrance of a
number of lower Columbia fishermen
who went hmiiarhl- un ti rial. In. .Ha

while In the local waters large sixes

The higher prices paid for raw fish
could scarcely mean that Columbia river
packers win not aavance their price on
the canned product and more Interests
are now m favor of a 100 rise for
halves.
LOCAL STRAWBERRIES ARRIVE
Local strawberries have made their
appearance and were In excellent con
dition. First shipments were from Rose
burg and the sale was made at 7.20
per crate for 24a.
Market is a train well supplied with
California fruit. v
DRESSED MEATS LOWER
Lower prices were named for country
killed meats in the Front street trade
during the past week. The veal market,
especially was weak and toward - the
end most of the sales of good -stuff
were made below 10c.
Country killed -hogs likewise dropped.
CHEESE MARKET LIBERAL
ing Increase in. Unfilled
Orders Is Important.
Liberal trade was shown in' the
cheese market during the week. The
bringing down of prices to Isc for flat
stimulated the demand and sales to the
north Increased somewhat as a result.
The south is still holding back.

Killers are trying to hold down

and this ta hurting the demand. Thn
higher prices reach the smaller amount .
