PRODUCE MARKET.
The situation in the hop market continues to
grow worse week after week A reliable dealer
said yesterday he could not afford TO paw more
tnan 10 cents for choice stock from the present
indications: that reports from the East were to
the effect that nobody desired 10 buy. Some
feel that the unfayorabie outlook for a crop
here VIII have tendency to strengthen the
market in short time, but as prospects are
favorable for q good crop in the East and also in
England and Germany, the crop outlook here
will have but little effect on the market.
In the grain, hay aud feed market prices
remain steady with slight stiffening up in bar
ley. Wheat is very scarce, it being hard to find
enough even Tor chicken-fee Shorts are also
very scarce, owing to the fact that most OF the
mills are not running Some of the new crop of
grains and hay Is expected shortly.
NO change was reported in the live stock
market. but the supply OF native stock is
increasing.
The hide market is trifls dull at present.
Fresh ranch eggs are scarce and tending up
ward. They are in good demand. The butter
market Is firm and demand for Eastern cream
cry good. that being the only stock now in the
market outside of a little native dairy.
Poultry is coming in quite pleutifully. The de-
mand is falling of little, but prices remain
quite steady.
There is but little change in the log mar ket,
but choice cedar logs are getting scarce and
have advanced somewhat
JoBBINs TRADE.
The jobbing trade presented but few features
OF interest the past week. Prices have been
very steady and shipments rather lighter than
they were two weeks ago, though better than
for the preceding week.
The green fruit and vegetable market is well
supplied with good variety. The demand is
good and prices firm.
The only change in the grocery and provision
trade is slight reduction in some varieties of
canned fruits. Trade is reported good but col
lections a trifle hard
The coal trade is gradually improving as the
receipts from the mines increase
The trade in lime, plaster, cement, and that
class of building material, is rather dull and
prices keep dropping little by degrees.
The local lumber trade is in a dep!orable con-
dition, not so much as q result OF trade depres-
sion as of the fierce competition between the
dealers, which has brought prices down to a
point which will scarcely pay for the logs much
less the saving. 1t 10 positive fact that rough,
common lumber has been sold as low as s40t5
per 1000 Dealers are in quandury as to what
the outcome is going to be.
