j. j. Bogardus returned yesterday from a trip
through the Ia Conner flats aud reports an ex-
ceedingiy heavy crop OF hay. Ii Is all stacked
and in fine shape. The quality s better than it
has been any season for number of years, only
q small portion that was cut early having been
affected by the wet spell. Oats are also very
heavy and fast ripeaiug. Cutting will begin
next week. and 1t will not be grea. while be-
fore some OF the new stock is ready for market.
{. Ii. King, who owns Il ranch in kittitas
county, was in the city yesterday and reported
crops in his vicinity in excellent condition.
The hay crop was heavy and was saved without
being affected by wet weather.
The retail market in groceries, provisions,
meats, fish, vegetables and fruits presented no
features of special interest during the week.
Butter Is stifsning up little, but no advance
has yet been made in the retail price. Greeu
fruits are getting little cheaper, except such
as are about out OF season-cherries, raspber-
ries. etc Lemons ara stifening up Ia response
TO the upward tendency in the wholesale
market. There is bus very little demand for
poultry and there is an abundance of stock to
supply what demand there is The price of leg
of lamb Is down 5 cents In the fish line
halibut is abundant, but salmon and trout ara
scarce.
