MARKET REVIEW.

cultural implements has shown more
activity. Quite number of freight
teams have loaded with merchandise for
the interior merchants. and jobbers in
the city are filling an increased number
of orders for country dealers. The
Dalles, Portland and Astoria Navigation
company steamers are bringing large
freights to the city for home merchants,
and also country towns. Traffic has
opened briskly in the freighting business
and there is general movement in all |
branches-In home produce there is a
good supply in stock and the increased
delivery has tendency to bring down
prices in some things. Eggs have fallen
off in supply since last week for two
reasons, the demand for shipment and
the setting season is beginning, has
checked the stocks on hand and prices
are little better, we quote IA to .16a5
per dozen for fresh eggs.
The wheat market is quiet. Prices
are nominally quoted at 75 to so cents
for milling and $1.O0 for prime seed
wheat.
In this immediate section nearly all
Is out of first hands. In Klickitat we
hear there is still considerable quantity
remaining in granaries awaiting better
prices, which under the present condi-
tion of markets and outlook, is hardly
warrantable. 1t is doubtful whether
there will be any advance, at all this
season. Flour is maintaining its former
quotation but the tendency is drop in
prices soon. Markets are weaker abroad
and our markets are governed largely by
the export demand.
The wool season is too far in. the
future to make any forecast of probabll-
tiles for prices for the seasons clip. In
conversation with a last years wool
buyer, he gives it as his opinion that
prices will rule lower this year than
last, for various reasons. One is the
over supply in. excess of demand, and
the importation of Australian wool into
eastern markets, which is of a finer and
better grade, and of course manufactur-
ers catch at that quality which checks the
sales or demand for our domestic fleeces.
! Congress is monkeying over free wool leg
islation and that as an influence, in
measure, though remote, partially puts
paralyzing tone on markets, and more
so on the producer.
