The -four market continues very firm and an
other advance is not unlocked for. There was q
slight decline reported on Eastern bacon and
airy salt sides yesterday, the former being quoted
al 1914 and the latter at 9 cents. The work of
ioaulng the wheat vessels now in port has not
yet commenced, but will in day or two. as
soon as the ballast can be discharged. The only
grain coming in is oats, of which yesterdays re-
ceipts amounted to about 100 tons.
Phil Neis just returned from Portland yester-
day de says that quite an amount OF Oregon
hops have been bought recently at Is cents for
shipment to England. Mr.. Neis thinks the
price Will soon decline again. as no American
brewers are buying at the present prices, and
the demand in England is not heavy.
{. L. Hubbard, in price list just issued, has
the following to say regarding the recent fur
sales OF Lampson d. Co., London, and the fur
market generally:
At the London fur sale, held October rs and a.
there were offered 33.55 raw seal skins and va
rious other furs. While Northwest coast seal
advanced at this sale Is per cent yet prices paid
mere were 70 per cent higher than at last sale,
ana Will show fully a 10 per cent. loss 10 all
shippers, and many will lose very heavily.
PROSPECTS Tor the January sale are not at all en-
couraging, and l would advise much caution on
seal skins In particular.
Report of C. NJ. Lampson d Co.'s London sales.
Sailed fur seal:
Copper island, IA higher than last March.
Northwest coast, l5 per cent higher than last
March.
Average price realized for Northwest coast
excepting gray pups, 10 shillings.
:, Raccoon, skunk and marten, same as at last
May sale.
Mink, 10 per cent higher than at last SALE
Bear, black, per cent. lower than.at last May
sale.
Bear, brown and grizzly, same as at last May
sale.
Fox, gray, 20 per cent. higher than at last May
sale.
Wolf 10 per cent higher than at last May sale.
Hair seal, 10 per cent. lower than at last May
Sable, 20 per cent lower than at last March
sale.
This covers about all skins offered from this
locality. In all, the sale was not profitable
one to shippers, and though the outlook for the
coming season on various furs is somewhat dis
couraging, still / look for fair values to rule,
and possibly a more satisfactory business to all
concerned.
Beaver will still hold its place among first
goods and full quoted price may be expected.
Mink has surprised almost every one and good
grades bring high prices.
Bear of all kinds when prime, full furred and
thin peltei, bring high prices, but medium and
poor grades sell poorly and at very low prices.
Otter, when prime, will undoubtedly do very
well throughout the season.
Fisher, being used almost entirely in Europe,
will surely decline, Is they are there overlooked
Msrten will not net very handsome returns
except on choice, dark, well furred skins
Other goods remain at about last year prices.
While look for fair values to rule, do not
anticipate any extreme prices, such as were paid
for seal and oftimes other goods last season.
