the season, and shows that farmers are gener-
ally indifferent about realizing at present prices.
All reports at hand confirm previous statements
OF the inferior quality of large part or TINS
years yield of winter wheat Should the weather
prove favorable, harvesting is likely 10 be com
menced throughout the Northwest during the
coming week. South of the Northern Pacific
railroad an average yield is expected, but north
of that line the results OF the harvest are still
uncertain. In the local markets there are
really no new features worthy OF note,
Dry goods men speak of trade as increasing.
Hardware and iron men are having an excellent
trade With boot and shoe men and leather
dealers trade is rather slow. The produce mar
kets are reasonably active; with liberal receipts
OF eggs, butter and poultry, the tendency is to
lower prices, although as yet the expected
break has not come. The sugar market has
stlHened up somewhat, and unless there is a re-
action in first hands an advance may be looked
for within the next twenty four hours. Reliable
advices from she seaboard continue to report
coffee firm, but the trade here does uot report
much, If any, advance There is an increasing
demand for hog products, but no Improvement
in prices,
The local wheat market was steady. Prices
firm at quotauons to-day, and dealers show
more confidence in the future of the cereal, be-
lieving that the lowest prices have been touched.
The Board of Trade Price Current says Of wheat:
Local markets are firm at quotations. There
seems to be scarcity of sellers, however and it
is offered as partial explanation that, in conse-
quence of the better prices at Toledo IN cOmpar-
lson with seaboard, the large per cent of pres
enu arrivals are for a market at that point. East
ern brokers say If their seabOard customers want
Indiana grain, they must advance their limits.
Arrivals continue liberal, grading about as usual.
Seaboard has toned IN at all points, and Chica 90
shows a frmer and higher market. We quote:
