THE LOCAL RKET.
Trade Continues Coed, but not Quite so
Heavy--lhs Quotations

Irade continues So"d, nut not quite so
Heavy--lhs Quotations.
The rush that has characterized tue local
trade for some time past has subsidized to
some extent, and business was not quite so
brisk during the past week, but 1t Is still
in good healthy condition, and the mer-
chants have no cause for complaint. The
tact that farmers are busy preparing toi
this season crop explains the slight de.
cline in trade. The quotations have been
changed slightly. Cotfees nave nuc:uated
consideraby but are again at the old
prices. Sugars have been no and down
during the past week. Flour remains
steady. Wheat has mace a slight decline.
Potatoes are very firm, apples are quoted
the same. Small fruits are now ccupying
the attention Of the market Straw berries
and cherries are being shipped in from
Walla Wala. The recent heavy rains in
California have killed the small fruits
which effects the fruit market very mater
iaily. Live chickens are quite plentiful
but turkeys are scarce. Baled timothy hay
has made quite an advance.
