The heat Market.

The Portland wheat market is inclined
to wobble slightly, and there is more
active selling movement than there has
been at any time this season, the offer
ings being simply enormous. The
ruling figures for the past two days has
been about 79c, but sales have been
made at SOC for Walla Walla. The lattet1
figure, thongh, is the extreme, and SOM
of the exporters refuse to pay it, Blues
stem and Valley are 2 to Sc higher, re-
spectively. Receipts continue large, and
the docks aud warehouses are almostl
iammed The exports from Portland
for the past six weeks total 2,0S7, ,979
bushels of wheat, valued at 81, ,S20 ,46l,
and 90, ,293 barrels of -four, valued at
1915, 1888 ; and even these figures would
have been increased had it been possible
so secure ships for immediate loading.
Never in the history of the port has
such large amount of grain been moved
so early in the season, and never before
have vessels received euch quick dis
patch. A steamer which arrived last
Saturday, and lay idle all day Sunday,
loaded full cargo Monday and Tues
day, and cleared yesterday, and nearly
all of the sailing ships lave received cor
respondingly quick dispatch.
While wheat is still hanging at a point
that causes operators to do considerable
thinking about what the future has in
store for the price, just at present the
matter of securing ships TO handle the
big crop is a serious one. Freights are
high all over the world, and are still
advancing.
