REVIEW OF THE LOCAL MARKET.


The past week has been little more
brisk in trading circles, and there has
been more activity on the streets, and
better feeling has prevailed throughout
since last report.
Our produce market is quiet, no
changes to record in prices. In the
wheat markets, the past week has shown
activity and an advance is noted. The
Eastern and European markets are more
or less excited, owing to rumors af1oat
that there are to be European troubles
across the Rhine, and that already there
is an outlook for short crops in France
and other parts of Europe. The present
indications are that wheat will be in
better price than it was last year, as
London predictions are that there will
be shortage of 125, 900 900 bushels over
the proceeding year; how true this may
be, time will tell.
Wool has commenced to arrive, and
the very excellent staple of samples
which are received indicate superior
product and reports are favorable tor the
largest wool clip this season, ever brought
to market. Undoubtedly from.5 ,0O0, 900
to 5000, 900 pounds will find a market in
this city this year.
The Dalles having established the fact
in the past years that it is the wool CEN
ter of Eastern Oregon, and also that
wool buyers can get any quality or guam
tity, has made it the wool market for
the seller and the buyer. This season
will see larger number of wool men in
this market, than formerly, as there will
be larger quantity in store than ever
before. AS yet, no market price IS
named but our small lot that came. in;
Is cents per pound was offered and was
refused. We look for sharp competition
as soon as the season is fully opened.
REAL ESTATE There has been but
little movement since last report. Some
good bargains have been offered but the
demand is weak and but few transfers
