hand-sleighs, ice skates and table and
pocket cutlery. Steel nails are at bed
rock prices just now. and several East
ern manufacturers are considering the
question OF closing down. a. the pres
ent values are lower than In England
for corresponding classes. Barbed
wire has growing demand and 1t i
anticipated that some heavy purchases

year. in order TO take advantage Of the
present low prices, which are expected

year opens.
COAL AND LrxggR.
Franklin contributed 300 tons of
coal to the supply during the week
and Newcastle 1000 tons. The figures
from the latter mine have been mini
nized by the slides On the track which
obstrueted traffic. Now that the way
Is cleared 800 tons daily are expected
from this mine. At the bunkerr 900
tons have been loaded and the stock
on hand il ample. There Is no change
IN quotations. The following coal YES
sells are in port, some partially loaded
ship Margaret, Cedar Mountain coal /.
ship Palmyra, Franklin and Newcas-
tie coal; ship MeCallum. Franklin and
Newcastle; ship Levi e. Burgess, Ce-
| dar Mountain; steamer Willamette,
Franklin coal.
Lumber business is active. The ap-
proximate cut Of the week has been
BIS 900 feet rough lumber, and 40i 900
feet dressed In addition to consum-
ing this the city has had daily receipts
| from outside points, running from
30, 600 10 70,00o feet. This shows the
rapidity with which the city is grow
| ing; and in the early spring the de-
mand will have doubled for building
lumber. Logs are firm at quotations
and arrive freely. Several booms Of
cedar we're towed in from the skagit
since last report.
LIVE STOCK MARKET.
There has been no falling off in ar
| rivals and business has been moder-
ately brisk. Mutton is in good de-
| mand, and Eastern Washington COM
! ing in is in fair condition. Offers of
live stock more thanI balance orders.
| and while this condition prevails prices
win be low. A light supply of small
veal is placed on the market and the
demand is largely in excess. Home
rendered lard has a slow market at
quotations.
