REVIEW OF THE HOME MARKET.

REVIEW OF THE HOME MARKET.
The past weeks trade has been light
compared with former ones. Interior
traffic, especially from distance, has
fallen off in measure, owing to the
lateness of the season. Retail trade has
been ordinary, with indications OF an
Improvement as the holidays are near
ing.
The inquiry for money loans has
slackened somewhat, as immediate re-
ouirements have been met. and conse-
quently better feeling is experienced
than some time ago.
The wheat market is inactive, with
but few transfers, as the farmers who
have their crop on storage are holding
for better prices. Some more thought
full ones, or from emergency, sold early
in the season, realizing 60@671ac per
bushel. The present outlook for better
prices is not warranted in the face of re-
ported facts.
The reported worlds surplus is 60,
600 900 bushels over that of 1889.
In view of this statement which
has been put before the wheat
centres gives unfavorable futures
for the producers There is re-
ported tonnage on the way to Portland
sufficient to move 5000, 900 bushels, and
with the expected tonnage to come, the
1890 cereal product will be nearly cleared
from the coast by the time the next har-
vest is ready, provided transportation
has been sufficient to move the crop to
the seaboard.
