PORTLAND MARKET.
Locnl Trntle of nil AvrnK Amount
Trnimactril Kick Wry lllch.
A fair amount of business was trans
acted. Trade opened up rather quietly,
but picked up considerably. There was
nothing of a special interest except that
eggs were very high. Oats are very we:tfc.
Vegetables are in fair demand, and the
supply is good. Oregon strawberries
are weak. Cherries are scarce and not
in great demand. Bananas and lemon5)
are more plentiful than they have been
for several weeks. There is a fair supply
of oranges on hand, and the demand for
them is good. Business in the line (
staple groceries was good. The wool ci'.p
is on the move.
TIIK WHEAT MAltKKT.
The market presents no new feature.
Offerings are light, the demand is slow
and trading of a desultory character.
