Portland Queaatiens.
PORTLAND, Nov. Wheat-The mar
ket advices from abroad are not of a
character to infnse much of life or OK
element into the trade ON this side.
Dull and quiet il the report. II ID
thought that there will be little if any

dozen days, at least. Present values
are firm. The outside prices are 81 67
for eastern and 81 73 for valley, though
the quotations are 81 65td1 70.
Flour-There is quite surplus ON the
market, but il is held firm at quoted
rates. Standard brands, Is %.
Oats-A good portion of the present
receipts are going into store. and there
is little doing in the way of sales. We
quote 56c for choice feed inferior neg
lected at 4(d2c iess.
Hops--Sales Saturday aggregate 81
bales for eastern and foreign account a,
200. Several buyers are in the market
and more business Ia looked for here, as
| IL becomes more difficult to pick up lots
in the interior. Advices are not ma.
terially changed in tone.
Cured Meats-A general decline OF
Idl 40 Is noted today. This is caused
by the free receipt of eastern and large
ly increased home offerings. The latter
are generally Of most excellent appear
amos and quality, being marked inn
provement over previous years. Waeth-
or any further decline will be had de.
Ponds mainly upon the cost of laying
down eastern cured.
Hogs--O Offerings larger, and packers
secure plenty at 5@51Sc, the latter be-
ing paid only for attractive.
Butter-Stocks plentiful aud values
net firm at 3O(d 100, a. to quality and
package.
Chiokens-Market arags nnder lib
eral supply, and only in small way can
- 30 be had for the best.
Eggs-A general decline TO 40 ia re-
ported under increased receipts. Three
thousand dozen eastern are due tomor-
row.
