-The market for potatoes Is showing
strength, af $1.25 generally for fancy
matured stuff In a Jobbing way. whllj
no very good stuff Is selling a dtrao
below tlis. .
Thera Is quite a liberal demand for
potatoes from the hon territory and
offerings are by no means liberal This
' U due to two reasons: The busy farm
er and the fact that wholesalers are
not Inclined to purchase more than
their arly needs require.
No effort la being made to speculate
vpon the potato market at this tima.
Local stock la not sufficiently ma
tured as yet to take i ca re of any of the
Alaska demand, and practically all of
the orders are bring filled from San
fcranelaco at thla time.
This is not a very bad thing, because
. every sack the south sells at this time
meana that much less supply later iu
' the season when tie Oregon shipping
'period is in full swing.
T, AU doubt as to the smaller output of
early . potatoes at Pacific, northwest
points has vanished. The late plant
; fng will be somewhat above the aver
age, but of course not up to the pro
duction Of a year ago either as to
extent of acreage or average yield.

The condition of the salmon market so
far as the less favorable grades are con
cerned, is not the most favorable that
might be wished. Chums and pinks are
so low priced this season that there la
not the slightest doubt that the pack of
these varieties will be curtailed some
what. While It Is true that the pack of
sockeye this season Is expected to break
a few records, still other varieties lndl

there will be a fair pack of Alaska, reds,

Columbia river advices received by

A Seattle wholesale interest writes of
the salmon situation as follows:

Increased demand; hence, these two
forces tend to create ultimately a very
strong situation on cnums and pinks.

we are developing a demand for chums
and pinks that will some day call for an
extra million cases every year,

It developed today that some big ex
porting tirm was again freely offering
wneat abroad at low prices In an effort
to depress the trice here. This has re
sulted In stagnation in the home mar
ket; In fact, has affected trade all along
tne coast.
A small amount of business is pass
ing in tne interior on the basis of .79
6tt-c a bushel there for club but as a
rule growers In Walla Walla and Uma
tilla counties with the 10r- frls-ht anrl
carrying rate to tidewater, are not will
ing to offer freely below the 70c mark.
It IS not believed that anv r-nnalrlar.
able movement of wheat can be forced
from tidewater under SOc a bushel for
club here, at least during the early part
of the season.
There is nothing at all doing In the
barley trade. Owing to the stagnation
In the foreign markets, and with fi
nancial conditions Dressina- in th smith
practically no business has resulted re
cently. As the present writing It is not
probable that any Pacific northwest bar
ley will be wanted In the east, this be
ing reflected In the low oricea now In
effect at Chicago and other eastern
points. Several coast firms have en
deavored to sell barley cargoes abroad
but all have met with failur ( n.
erally the case when quite a few orders
to sell are shown. On the other hand
growers are rather firm in their views
regarding the future of the market.
