coming IN freely and are taking the
place of old, and selling at from three to
four cents per pound. All other kinds
| of garden vegetables are plentiful at low
} rates.
About the only thing that the market
seems to be short of, is eggs, they find
a ready sale at 1S to 20 cents per dozen,
with an upward tendency.
THE SALMON CATCH.
The salmon catch is of too limited a
character to report our dealers as being
perfectly satisfied with the receipts.
What are caught are of larger size than
usual; prices remain unchanged.
WOOL SITUATION.
The wool dead lock which has pre-
vailed between the sellers and buyers
has not materially changed since the re-
port of a week, ago. The holders seem
immovable in their ideas and the buyers
are equally as steadfast in their opinions
A gentleman who seems to comprehend
the situation is of the opinion the back
bone will be broken in a few days as
there are several new buyers in the field
who are not influenced by few inside
sharpers who are endeavoring to control
the market. Unless there is a yielding
on the part of each, determination is
manifest to ship to other markets. AL
ready the Wasco warehouse shipped
during the past week 1000 bales and are
expecting orders for other shipments.
There has. been few sales made by
some sellers on account of obligations,
at prices ranging from 13 to 171s cents.
The unsatisfactory condition of the wool
market, brought about by the general
disposition of wool growers throughout
the wool districts, to hold for better
| prices has had demoralizing effect on
trade in local centers, ahd concessions
will be nrged by those who have made
advances. AS the outlook for realiza-
ton of expectations is not warrantable
as the reports from abroad and the east
ern markets indicate decline of to ~
per cent. on the better grades, and a
heavier decline on unwashed and heavy
woods. Prices are not notably lower.
but manufactures claim that their wants
are measurably supplied. The receipts
in this city have been as large for the
week past as formerly, and as great as
for the same period last year.
