REVIEW OF THE LOCAL MARKET.


but to the farming population who are L
directly interested because OF the passage &C
of the Cascade portage railway bill This 81
means to them better prices for their N
produce and feeling that prompts them Il
To larger ideas of farming and successes
in their husbandry. 1t means for them c
lower freights, alightening of their burd- O
ems which has been grevious and dis {
couraping. Hail, all Hail, the Cascade Y
Portage Railroad. O
The wheat movement for the past G
week has been fair. Some $3.50 bushels
have changed hands at an advance in
price, Their seems to be an inclination ,
on the part of holders to let their grain
go rather than pay storages waiting for
better prices. There is no immediate
prospect of an advance in prices as the
reports from other districts are more en-
couraging than heretofore.
In the present condition of the local
wheat market here, there are no changes
of Importance excepting slight advance.
The European markets are up and down
Just as often as cargoes are reported OH
the coast, and the quotations are cores
pondingly the same.
Chicago and New York grain quota /
tions are as fiuctuating as formerly
with no encouraging features to report. |
Chicago's May delivery quotation is
97sl New York, 1.0434.
Portland's market remains unchanged
, with firmer tone. Its quotation Is
unchanged. Valley is quoted $l.2oC@
. 1867; Eastern Oregon. 81 .15@1.l64.
Dalles market has been more active
with slight advance since last week.
