REVIEW OF THE LOCAL MARKET.

and transactions OF any magnitude have
been very limited. The roads into the
interior are in fair condition for this
season of the year. The farming class
are industriously making preparations
for large acreage of grain.
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 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.
The stock market is quiet, as
is the grain. A large number
of vessels are arriving in Port
land in quest of wheat cargoes for the
United Kingdom. Prices have made a
slight advance since our last report
Eastern Oregon wheat is quoted at 40
to 1.35 with steady market. Whether
that means further advance dealers are
very reticent about answering in the af-
frmative or negative. The Dalles mar
ket quotations are nominal, say from 5S
@60 cents.
In New York and Chicago the
fluctuations are of the same old re-
port, as well as the European quo
tations, which are governed by the num-
ha7 of off fla IL
The live stock market is not as active
as it was for the week previous for ship
ment. The demand is easily supplied
with prime beeves and mutton for the
home market. Our dealers quote an
advance of a cents per pound for fat
cattle, and q of cent for prime hogs.
Veal is in good demand at cents for
heavy to cents for light, with a good
inquiry as the supply is insufficient.
The vegetable market is still very strin-
gent with very limited supply in sight.
Cabbage is not in the market and sells
freely at 2@214 cents per pound. Pars-
nips and turnips are in demand and the
market is almost without. supply A
greater inquiry is made each day for all
kinds of table vegetables, than formerly.
Chicago and New York grain quota
tions are sas huctuating as formerly,
with encouraging futures. Chicago's
May delivery quotation is 1.O3k; New
York, LOG.
Portland's market reports an advance
with a firmer tone. Its quotations for
Valley is quoted $1.35@1. 1.371a; Eastern
Oregon. 81 .30@1.35.

with slight advance since last week.

HAY-The recent storm has effected the
market somewhat and hay has met with
activity in sales, and the stock on hand
is reduced, with limited supply in
sight. An advance is looked for in the
early spring. Quote, timothy, $I7.Oo
per ton, wheat hay baled $3.50 Oat

stormy weather has been unfayorable for
increased supply and the former quota

PoULTRY-The poultry market is
sitter since our last quotation,
and a still farther advance is looked
