MARKET REVIEW.
THE pA1lEs, April p. 1892.

in prices in any one line, save in flour
which has declined twenty cents per
barrel in the past few days. There has
been decline of thirty cents per barrel
in Portland within the past three days,
and is quoted there at $4.30 for standard
and 81 20 for Walla Walla. This decline
and quotation is 60 cents lower than
that of a month ago, and is nothing
more than was expected owing to the
weak condition of the markets. Wheat
is moving more freely in the local mar
ket and a sharp decline has taken
place, correspondingly with the Port
land and Eastern markets. Yesterday
55 cents was paid for good, marketable
wheat, and it is difficult to obtain more
than 60 cents for best milling. The life
less condition of foreign markets has
thoroughly demoralized the grain trade
throughout all grain centers. Ships
are being chartered abroad for this next
harvest at rates much lower than ever
known at this season of the year.
Freight rates all over the world on grain
charters are very much depressed owing
to the small offerings and the very large
quantity of idle tonnage. What
shrinkage the future quotations may
sustain will be made up largely by cheap
freights to foreign merkets so that pro-
ducers will fare well in the end.
Hay, and feed grains, together with
mill feed, corn, etc., is in excellent sup
ply at unchanged prices and is held firm
and steady.
The egg and butter market is steady.
Butter is more plentiful and the surplus
above home demand is being shipped to
the metropolis.
The vegetable supply is good, and
prices are looking downward. The fruit
market is very fine with an increased
scarcity of offering.
The grocery trade is brisk and no
changes are noticed in quotations.
Coffee, beans and rice are firm. Sugar
is steady, with an easy feeling that
there will be no advance.
There is nothing to note in the wool
market, save that it is moving freely.
One lot has been shipped to San Fran
cisco as feeler. What the result will be
is to be determined by the returns.
The salmon season has fairly opened,
but the catch is very light Jobbing lots
are sold at cents per h., which is high
er than formerly on the first of the sea-
son. A difference in quotations will fol-
low in few days.
