PORTLAND. May II
A fairly active business is reported in most
departments, with some improvement over the
previous week, while collections are very slow.
Flour continues to attract special attention and
the market has been considerably unsettled
owing to the wide fluctuations in Wheat
Flour has dropped from thesrecent extreme
high pc mt about 5oc barrel but before the
new crop of Wheat makes its appears on the
market we predict much higher prices; the for
eign demand is large and Wheat Is actually get
ting scarce. Sugars are strong and tending up-
ward. Provisions are very stiff at the advance.
Canned beef is active and 90 case above
prices quoted ten days ago. Corn and Oats fairly
steady here: Chicago prices to-day were little
off. Linseed and Boiled Oil 1c better. Nothing
new in produce, save an easier feeling Ion But
ter. Potatoes are Steady and unchanged. Tur-
pentine 35@45. Morphine has been advanced
zoe; now 45G2 10. Quine &c higher. Coal
Is quiet buyers not being so anxious to secure
their winters supply; coal freights continue to
drop. and it don't look now as though the war
would cause much of a coal famine, although
prices will be no lower this season. Holsters
dull and lower at loo y pound for boiled and &c
for live. Fresh Beef in good demand. and steady
