The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-03-19


Speaking of the wheat and -four market yes
terday, g. B. Landers, manager OF the Seattle
Touring mill at Ravenna Park, said he was now
buying wheat from the elevator, as the farmers
having wheat left yet refuse to sell at the mar
ket price and it was cheaper to buy direct from
the shippers. The mill Is not running very
steadily and Mr.. Ianders said most OF the other
mills in the country were running light to work
off the surplus stock of -four He thinks when
this is done the price will be advanced to cor
respond with the price OF wheat
The prospects in the feed and hay market are
Frightening somewhat by reason OF the fact
that large number of logging camps are open
ing up again, and it will take a large amount OF
grain and feed to feed their stock.
The supply OF fruit and vegetables is running
pretty low, and by the time the next steamer
arrives, Monday, stocks will be very low. 1t is
expected that prices will be little lower all
around on the next lot.
The retail market presents no new features
aside from the decline in California butter.
Cranberries are down to 60 cents per gallon.
Poultry and eggs are abundant. The market is
we'll supplied with halibut, and some Eastern
shad are offered for sale at 20 cents per pound.
