MARKET REVIEW.
THURSDAY. pecember 10, 1sal.


Business for the week past has been
unusually quiet owing to the storm
period which has just past; the rain has
been quite general accompanied with
snow on the highlands which fell to a
depth varying from one to twelve in
ches, the warmer weather following has
melted it nearly all off. In mercantile
lines, prices remain unchanged. Al
though, throughout the provision lines
there is firm tendency excepting in
bacon and lard whichis little off of the
regular quotations, as heavy decline is
announced in Eastern markets. Coffee
is still firm and Arbuckles coffee will
advance very soon no doubt. Can goods
and dried fruits are steady, and some
dealers predict an advance in those ar
ticles. Sugar still remains on former
quotations with no immediate advance
in prices, as very large quantity is on
the way from China to Portland.
In the produce market there is moth
ing to report, only wheat has dropped a
little and is a bit off for the week.
In the vegetable line, potatoes are
without market, and so to 60 cents per
