Heavy offering of hay is causing
an easier feeling in the local trade
for ordinary stuff. According to the
trade here. the mild weather through
out the Pacific Northwest Is causing
many to offer their hay at lower
prices.
Timothy. is an exception and this is
scarce at the moment with prices
about 81 a ton higher for both Will
lamette valley and eastern Oregon.
The best of the latter Is quoted by
buyers at S21 an s22 a ton and Will
lamette valley fancy at $19 and $50
a ton.
There is momentary dullness in the
wheat market. Buyers do not seem to
be keen after supplies although those
having ships already chartered or
wheat sold. are still buying and offer
ing the prices listed. However, there
is no disposition to hurry purchases
by any account.
Barley and oats trade remains quiet.
No new deals in brewing barley have
been reported for eastern account.

Hogs Go Up.
Some one got excited this morning
and late yesterday afternoon, and bid
dime advance for hogs in the face
of the weakness elsewhere. This

pared with SO, the landing price of
Nebraska hogs at Pacific northwest
centers today.
Only two loads of hogs were offer
ing in the yards today. while six loads
came forward from Nebraska for a
local packing house.

today created much interest. Sales
were generally made at $685.. with the
Union Meat company, S. & S. and Car
stem as buyers.

today.
Eggs Just About Holding.
The egg market is at a standstill
locally. No change in. quotations is
reported. while receipts show prac-
tically the same as during the start
of the week. Some dealers reported
that 1t Is hard to sell above Csc a doz-
en-. Some are scared but others as
sert that the time Is not yet ripe for
any big slump. Weather conditions
will rule the price hereafter.
Dressed Hogs Not so Firm.
While quotations are not shaded,
the demand for dressed hogs along
Front street during the past "a hours
was not so keen Best offerings con-.
tinue at 12c a pound, but butchers
are not taking hold so readily as for
merly. Larger supplies along the
street the rule.
Chickens Hold at Top.
There remains scant supply of
chickens offering in the local trade
and along Front street values, are be-
ing held at 1Sc and 19c a pound for
live birds. Turkeys are slow sellers
at lower prices.
