'. ; The business of he city aj?. nae',' a
a marked improvement over that of Jast
week.' Interior dealers have made large
purchases and home trade has increased,
owing to tne, . encouraging - prospect oi
better ' crops and an easing up of the
financial stringency which has in a more
or less degree contracted a spirit of
denial on the part of those who have
been under a pressure. The wheat ad
vance of the past few weeks has brought
out all the surplus in store, and the
movement in wool, together with the
putting into the. market of beef cattle
and mutton has given much activity in
every branch of traffic.
The wool market, while there is con
siderable on hand, does not seem to be
very active, partly owing to. the unfin
ished deliveries by the owners and the
few buyers in the city. The shearing is
late and at present writing is only fairly
commenced. Within the next fortnight
the wool arrivals will be at its best and
at the close of the season will aggregate
its - maximum. Offerings are limited.
Really there has been no sales to speak
of and prices range from 124 to 18 cents.
The salmon catch, at present is very
light and our canneries are doing noth
ing. ' A large run is expected as soon as
the spring rise of the Columbia has
reached a point that will make the fish
wheels of service to the owners. Salmon
is selling in quantities at 7 cents ' per
pound. ; . : , .
The produce market is qf a better
tone. Good potatoes are a little stiffer
in price and are. not quite as plentiful,
while inferior are , in abundance
at a decline. Garden vegetables
are rather Abundant and our
markets are well supplied at nominal
prices. Home strawberries .are in mar
ket at 25 to 30 cents per. box. . Good
ranch butter is freely offered at quota
tions, a poor quality only, being 35 to 40
cents per roll.-' Eggs are less plentiful and
have advanced. Early spring chickens are
in good demand. ' A good inquiry is had
for chicks large enough for bryl "at fair
prices ;? r( , e rr , - rf U '
The Dalles wheat market is stead v , at
80 cents per bushel with a' lower future.
Oats The oat market is in good sup
ply with more frequent offerings at quot
ations. We quote, extra clean $ 1.50 per
cental and inferior; $1.35, per cental;
Barley There is no offering" of
barley, as there. seems .to be a scarcity.
