The Inquiry for this huge supply of sacks was received by Atlantic coast manu facturers but they state i then- inability to fill more than a small supply of the order. In view of this condition It is considered probable that Portland and other Pacific coast cities will be asked to participate in the or ders. There Is a great scarcity of burlap In this country at the present time and tbe price of home bags haa advanced to 7&c while Csl cuttas are quoted generally at-7 Vis it Is stated that Russia has been such a heavy purchaser of bags at Calcutta recently that the trade there has been unable to fill all ordera and delay In shipment to this coun try 1st probable. With Europe calling for sup plies here tbe situation is more complicated. me oraer rrom Jburooe cans tor bags 14 inches by' 33 inches and deliveries of at least 250,000 bags a day are asked. Locally the grain market is stagnant. " The critical state of the Europe sitnstlow together with the fact that exporters do not care to take d. suees of shipping, has caused general atsnstion. ; 1 "-'-.- HOUR Selling prlre: Pstent. $0.80; Wil lamette valley, CO.HO; local straight, $6.30, bakers'. $0.80; export, $5.505.75.
