REVIEW OF PORTLAND WHOLESALE MARKET
FOR THE WEEK ENnIN0 Mob

The general position Of trade is still quiet show
ing no improvement over the previous week. VAL
ues have been very steady with little change TO
note In prices. Flour was hrmer at the close and
selling fairly well at unchanged figures. The
tone of the leadiug markets for Wheat has been
frmer, and while an unsettled feeling has pre-
vailed, prices closed higher. Corn, Oats and
Millfed are strong, and steadily held at the ad-
vance. The recent advance in Sugar is well sup
ported, but the demand already is running ex-
eeedingly light, owing to the nearness Of free su
CARS, which takes affect April first; stock of raw
in the four ports at latest dates was 1883
tons against 4442 tons in 1890, and 32,437 tons
In 1889. Molasses is quiet and stocks very light;
some jobbers have reduced prices &c gallon to
encourage buyers, this &c being the amount Of
duty that is to be taken off foreign molasses on
April LIST. Coffee is firm with good inquiry. Teas
are dull, Formosas showing less strength. Spices
steady, excepting Pepper. which is quoted higher
to import. Seeds quite active with Glover strong
and 25 to 80 per cent higher than year ago, but
Timothy is steady without quotable change. Hog
products quiet and unchanged here, but frmer in
the leading markets. Butter steady with hrmer
feeling at Boston and New YORK. Eggs higher.
Dry fish quiet; stocks very much reduced. No
demand for Mackerel. Hay in good supply rang
ing from $40 to sI2 % ton. Co al more active.
Turpentine lc off. Opium easier at 2 65@2 10.

Heavy Increase in Ar

Corn Market Strong Under
the Influence Of Damp

CHICAGO Dec 3l.-The wheat market
opened weak and lower under the influence
of the rain and the failure reported from New
York of the Wall street firm OF Bateman
Bros The opening price for the Nav dellv-
cry was 97SSc, with q few sales at 91Ac, and
one or two transactions at 97i2c. There was
good demand at the decline and an imme-
date advance, which, at the end of the first
ten minutes, caused some of the sellers at the
start to buy back at Csc the wheat they had
sold at the opening for 973sc. The advance
at this point bumped against the call price,
and a consequent moderate reaction oc-
CURED. The cables were even stronger i'll
tone than they were yesterday. Some weak
ness was occasioned by the receipts at Min
neapolis and Duluth showing, as com
pared with preceding years arrivals.
another heavy increase. The country
receipts in the Northwest, however.
have almost ceased. Rradstreets' estimated
the stockseast Of the Rocky mountains to
have increased $4,000 bu during last week.
The early sellers swelled the crowd who
were shouting for wheat on the first advance
until the selling against calls created the
slight revulsion of feeling already alluded to,
which caused a reaction from 98c to 9734c.
The price advanced to 9S12c after the re-
action last referred to, and afterwards fiuc-
tuated narrowly in the neighborhood of csc.
The last hour of the session was absorbed by
the usual noisy demonstrations with which
the members of the board are accustomed to
