REVIEW OF THE LOCAL MARKET.

have replenished the stock on hand
with fresh goods, and in the dry goods
line with new styles for 1891.
REAL EsTATE.-We note increased
activity in outside property, new addi-
tions to the city being laid out. At
present the attention of investors is be-
ing attracted to the western part of
town where a large new addition has
been laid out on the George Snipes
tract. Several transfers of lots in the
military reservation addition have been
made during the past few days at good
prices. All inside property remains
firm with no changes to report.
In the grain line wheat has advanced
somewhat since our last report. The
Wasco warehouse has paid 621s cents
per bushel, and is continuing to do SO in
order for export only, although eastern
markets have made no material change
in quotations, it has advanced, owing to
the increased number of vessels in Port
land on charter and immediate dispatch
which is required to save demurage.
The Wasco warehouse has shipped
within the past week % cars of wheat.
