Tuesday Wednasdsy . . . Year ego .... Season to date. Year ago It is stated on quite good authority that not more than 20 per cent of the 1913 wheat crop of Oregon, Idaho and Washington remains unsold in the hands of producers. Not only are stocks on the farm be low expectations of the trade, but home milling Interests retain smaller stocks of the cereal than usual this period of the soason. This has led home of the trade to believe that before the next crop Is available there will be almost a famine in wheat offerings In the Pacific north, west and that prices are due for another sharp advance before the turn of the year. While this conclusion Is merely spec ulative. It is based upon some showing of facts. At the present tioie millers are beginning to realize the scarcity of wheat holdings and for that reason are being forced into the higher priced mar ket against their will. Wheat bids are reported from tti to szc a bushel for choice milling club, tidewater track basis, with bluestem 10a above these figures. Japan Is again nibbling for supplies of wheat and offers for that account are within a fraction of what dealers are at preasTiit asking. Round lots are wanted and this is expected to influ ence tne trade here. The advance forecast In the price of patent flour took place today in some of the mills with quotations at $4.60, but one large institution was not asking above $4.50 a barrel. While the mnrket for export flour is quiet at the. moment, the trade is quite firmly held. Coarse grains continue sluggish, but there Is a firmer tone for nilllstufrs.

CHICAGO HOGS ARE LOWER FOREIGN FRU)T -MARKET Poor Apple Are Neglected, bat There I' Good Demand for Suit- , - able Quality, The London branch, of the Northwest ern Fruit Exchange reports the fruit inarket under date of November 21. as follows: Apples Barrels: Arrivals again prin cipally consisted of Nova Scotian stock, a big proportion being in bad state, ne cessitating such varieties as Ribetons and. .Blenheims . having to be sold as low as 76c to $1.26 per barrel. The trade Is tlrine- of this rubbishy fruit. the buying of which entails so much risk, and inaulrles ars now belna made for some Oood York Imperials. Baldwins and Kings. It Is yet too early for Greenings. We think the market for first class barrel stock will be imorov- ing one henceforth. Boxes There Is undoubtedly an improvement In the de mand for Newtowns. although this has not been reflected to any appreciable extent in the prices realised. We ex pect, however, to be able to report some advance shortly. There have been heavy arrivals of colored varieties from We natchee. but a big proportion has been stored and sales of the balance continue slowly at fairly good prices. Fears Barrels: Arrivals have been on the light side and have consisted principally of Kelffers and Duchess. A considerable quantity, however, was brought forward from last week and with no further activity tn the demand, & rices nave remained about the same, oxes Arrivals principally Winter Ne lls with a sprinkling of Cornice and Bosc. At the high figures asked, the demand 1 limited and sales consequent, lv slow. The demand will be coming mort active we expect with the approach of Christmas, but until then judicious handling is necessary to clear at top figures. Liverpool Kane. Apples Barrels: Demand very ac tive. Arrivals nave been heavy, but have been absorbed rapidly st very sat isfactory prices. We recommend Imme diate shipments of first olass York Im perials, Baldwins, Kings, Albemarles and Oreenings, feeling confident that bumper sales will be made. Stock, how ever, must be first class In every re spect, as there Is a lot of poor and rub- Disny iruit sun aoout coxes nun m slow sale, but we are expecting to see shortly more activity in tne buying fra ternity. Future prospects seem to be a-ood. fears Barrels: i-nncipauy rkeiiern. Situation remains practically the same as last week. We think that some good stock will meet a ready demand shortly at from $4 to $4.50 per barrel. Boxes arn the slowest trade of any market at present. We anticipate an improvement in the near future. Olasrow Market. ADDles Barrels: In heavy supply, consisting mainly of Canadian stock and a good proportion of western state ap ples. All nave done exceedingly well end we think will continue to do so. We therefore recommend smpments 01 good stock on a liberal seal. Boxes The trade Is Improving considerably and there is a much better Inquiry for New towns. We are glad to report an appre ciable advance in price. Pears Barrels are in short supply, consisting principally of Kelffers. De mand la fair but anticipate improvement shortly. Boxes Chiefly Winter Nells. These are in much better demand, al though much of it Is very small fruit. We have disposed of two cars this week to average $3.60 to $3.70 per box.
