FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
REVIEW OF PORTLAND WHOLESALE MARKET


Trading is not active in any department, but
fair volume of business is generally reported
and values continue on steady basis. Flour very
dull and unchanged: prices are maintained be
cause of the firm tone to the Wheat market The
Sugar market is firm, both raw and refined, and
the tendency is still upward, with good jobbing
inquiry, at 65sc for granulateed and 6Mc for Ex-
ira Cstock Of in the four ports at latest dates
was 32,619 tons against 20792 tons In 1883,
and l22, 1886 tons In 1888. Coffee of all descrip-
lions has been frmer, but no advance is noticed
hire, the stronger tone being due to the small re-
cepts at Rio and firm tone Of all foreign adyices
transactions moderate. Molasses has developed
considerable strength with importers asking
about lie advance over late prices; stock in the
four ports at latest dates was 1864 hogsheads
against 2914 hogsheads In 1889 and 1926 hogs
heads in 1888. Teas firm; the advance of to &c
on Formosas, noted last week, Is fully maintained
by jobbers and importers. There is a strong
upward tendency for all grades of Rice. The sup
ply of Dry Fish is considerably reduced and the
prevailing opinion is that prices will soon rule
higher, particularly Goldfish, which is scarce. For
fresh fish Halibut are retailing at 14@15c, Mack
erel 25c and Salmon 3o@3ec receipts of Cod and
Haddock moderate. Pork is steady with no vari-
alton in figures. Lard is dull. Raisins firm Seeds
nominal; season over. Fresh Beef is in good re-
quest but business is restricted on account OF
the short supply; sides are quoted at 6Hs@7s4c
p fb, hind quarters qtrs 9@101ac, fores 5@51ac,
rounds with tanks 8@814c, rumps 11@12c, loins

short ribs 1o912c, backs at 6@7c, rattles at 31a
@4c; pork ribs 10c, sausage 9c;mutton 1oc, lambs
12c, smoked hams 1o1s@11c, California hams at
8, shoulders 1880, breakfast bacon at 10@11c,
homeless hams 91s@1oc, bologna 5Hsa6c, tongues
N bis s91a. Butter is dull and declining Cheese
about steady. In Metals, we notice an improve
ment in Ingot Copper, now quoted at 14916Pip
and Sheet Lead is up 19c. Paints lower with
pure ground lead at 81.
FREIGHTS-There is some improvement to
note in the demand for vessels to lad Ice. and
evething is taken about as fast as 1t arrives for
general coastwise trade, with ice freights very
firm with an advancing tendency. For the West
Indies business is quiet without material change
in rates. The River Plate trade continues dull
and depressed with no signs Of any improvement
AT New York comparatively few charters of YES
sells the spot for Petroleum have been effected,
yet owners and agents are sanguine OF strong
market during the next few months because OF
the exceptionally small fleet bound this way.
