REVIEW OF THE LOCAL MARKET.

Our review of the market is without
interest. In mercantile lines our mer-
chants have been fairly busy in closing
up last years business, and as far as
business transactions are concerned,
have been satisfactory. The present is
fair to average and as the season passes,
with the near approach of spring on US,
the activity is increasing with each week.
Collections for the past month, although
little close, were fair and compare
lively easy.
Produce receipts have been limited
Wheat transfers from first hands to the
buyer have been in excess of the preced-
ing week. About $500 centals have been
sold and shipped from the Moody ware
house at prices ranging from 50 to "a
cents per bushel. The wheat in the
Wasco warehouse, which is on storage,
is not being offered for sale, and there
has been none received during the past
week. Buyers are offering as high as 56
cents per bushel for AL.
Eastern and foreign markets are as
fuctuating as ever and to conjecture
what the future will bring is idle specu-
lation. Chicago's May delivery quota
ton is 991a; New York, 1.O434.
Portland's market remains unchanged
with firmer tone Its quotation is
little higher. Valley is quoted $l.25@
1.264; Eastern Oregon. $1.15@1.1614.
