Lewiston, July 25. The quotations
for the opening of the grain market
wee made yesterday." Wheat Is quot
ed at 53 cents for club and 5S cents

ally advanced and Is quoted at f7V
cents for feed barley and 75 cents for
brewing; oats changed at 90 cents,

and the exporters enter the market.
At the present time the coast export

tive season is expected as soon as the
ninrket opens. Conditions are consid
