NORTHERN WHEAT MARKET.

PORTLAND, Or, Feb 23.-The keen edge
that was on the local Wheat market when
prices were jumping a few days ago appears
to have become somewhat dulled and there
was not much anxiety to-day among exporters,
even at prices considerably under those quoted
Monday. This weakness is due to London
continuing to refuse distant business at any
thing like satisfactory figures and the weak
