The Northwestern . Fruit Kxchanga some time ' sgo sold - Its expected, output, of "Skookum" ,to a New York firm at a material advance over what others were asking for similar quality. Now a fight has developed for the finer fruit of the northwest , and ' Boston has , coma for ward with art urgent request that it be f riven the privilege of purchasing at east 26,,cara of this fruit. New York got wind of Boston's Inquiry and right away made a request that it be allowed to take any additional cars of r. this quality that tha local interest have to offer.

Bluestem Is holding its own owing to the limited supplies 1 available of offering,' The premium today is one of . the greatest ever paid In this market and indica tions' seem strong for even a further in. crease instead of a decrease. .,,.,;', Local millers are not keen after the Montana wheat. Some haslieen brought to The Dalles and to Spokane mills, but tidewater intereata are seemingly op posed to tqe importations. - According to one miller , the wheat Is 'of different grade . than that grown in the Pacific northwest and the using of this grain would therefore make a difference in the quality of flour. This, therefore, is opposed by millers for the reason that they ars trying to secure a . uniform quality each succeeding season. - Markets abroad for wheat were ' gen erally weaker, and lower again for the day. Liverpool showed another big loas In ths price Of futures, and there is not the slightest improvement 'in the cargo situation owing to the very lib eral offering by Canada and Russia. Tidewater Canadian - receipts are break ing records, owing to the desire of grow ers there to unload.
