seattle.
SEATTLE, Oct. 18th.
A slight improvement in all branches
Of trade has besn perceptible since our
last report.
HOPS-Picking Is practically over,
and the crop Is about ready for ship
mens. During ths past week two or
three hundred bales of White River
hops have been forwarded 70 London on
shippers account. The market Is life
less, growers refusing to accept present
offerings of buyers. which offers do not
exceed from IL to Is cents per pound.
WHEAT-Some 800 sacks of Dungen-
ess wheat has been received during the
past week. and the same Is in active de-
mand for chicken feed. We quote this
grade of grain at from $27 TO so per
ton.

brands are jobbing at $4.60 to $40 per
barrel. Oregon Capitol Mills, $4.55;
Graham, in twenty fves and iifties, at

$3.50 TO ~; superfine, 1926. Dealers
have done good trade during the past
week with Indians returning from the
hop regions.
OATS-Returns from San Francisco
on shipments recently made have been
disastrous to shippers, as Washington
Territory oats have sold in that city as
low as SIS per ten. B1yers are Offering

place of growth.

timothy hay delivered {. o. b. steam.

Co. are trying the San Francisco market
by shipment of 800 sacks per steamer
Mexico. Growers are writing produce
merchants TO make their own figures.
The yield was very large on the Sound
this 80 .son, and II Is difficult to place
the production. Hopes are entertained
that the California market will take our
surplus product at fair margin of
profit TO producers. Jobhers are paying
this week from % TO 2TlSc. per bushel
on the river bank.
