THE WHEAT MARKET.
PORTLAND, May 10.-At present
the price of wheat in California, Ore
gon and Washington Is determined
by the price in the Liverpool market.
California and ether West-coast
wheat comes in competition with
the wheat of the Mississippi valley
and it is difficult to make much by
growing it, 1t is estimated that the
West coast produces on an average
l.0OO.0 .0oO tons of wheat annually
available for the European market.
/ Ifall the wheat should find sale
/ in the markets of Japan and other
Asiatic countries it would make a
great difference in the amount sent
by this country to Europe. This
subject acquires special interest just
now from the fact that steamer
will sail in few days from Portland
for Japan, it being the first of line
of such steamers to be established
between Portland and Japan. The
! business of the Portland line will
consist largely of the transportation
of flour and wheat to Asia, and it is
thought that it is Il trade which is
susceptible of great Developments.
