MARKET REVIEW.

in merchandise and a greater activity.
Prices are unchanged in general lines,
with the exception of few things.
Sugar is still firm, but the tendancy is
downward, as the great sugar trust is
being shaken by the Inauguration of
new refining company which is expected
to cripple the control of the trusts.
Coffee is still firm with a sligh advance
on best grades.
The wool market is still lifeless, and
seemingly unnoticed. The passage of
the Free Wool bill through the house
with its large vote, is pointer in the
markets, and buyers will avail them
selves accordingly, that prices will be
far below last year. 1t is doubtful about
the bill becoming law, but the inf1u-
ence on Eastern markets jeopardizes the
trade alarmingly throughout the whole
wool sections. Some new clips are be-
ing shipped to Portland and San Fran
cisco but with no assurance of favorable
returns.
The grain markets are off on quota
tions, and with few exceptions, look
quite discouraging for better prices until
it is known what the harvest will be.
AT present, the outlook is favorable for
an unusual large yield of wheat this
harvest in America. In Europe the
season has been unusually backward
and the present prospects point to a
shortage this year, excepting in India,
Bulgarian provinces and the south of
France. In America the amount to be
carried over on to the next year will be
even larger than that of the past, so
taking all in all, there is nothing to
warrant a realization of extreme high
prices, but on the contrary lower mar
kets than our farming population were
. favored with last year.
The flour trade in western markets
has fallen off somewhat, and a decline
of 80 cents per barrel has taken place
