and turkeys are nominal.
Fresh Meats-Livestock quotations

dressed meats there have been slight
reductions in beef and mutton Light
supplies and light demands character
lie the situation, and market continues
firm for this season of the year.
Lard and Cured Meats-The only
change is h-cent decline on local
lard, following decline in the eastern
product noted last week. Cured meats
rule steady to firm.

tinued good movement in both hides
and wool, with quotations same as last
week.

fancy and cooking apples are more
plentiful and prices have dropped.
Quality is also better and consumption
is becoming active.
Berrles-Oferings are now largely
confined to red raspberres, which are
lower in price, and to dewberries, which
are unchanged. Gooseberries, loganber-
rles and black raspberries are practi-
cally off the market. Blackberries will
be on the market next week.
Cherries-Trade is still active in
cherries Sweets are plentiful and I'M
changed, but sours are getting scarce
and have advanced slightly.
Other Fruits-Yakima canteloupes
have eliminated the California article,
and price is lower. Early pears are

fornia, are on the market. Currants
are practically out. Other fruits in
seasonable supply and demand, without

Wheat-With an apparent reduction
OF IA cents on bluestem and 10 cents
on club and red Russian this week, the
market has turned over onto a new
crop basis. There is practically moth
ing doing in old wheat any more, ex-
cept for some choice lots of bluestem
Tor immediate use, which would CON-
mand premium of 2 or cents. While
there is some trading in new wheat
and good movement to tidewater,
the market is still above an export
basis and mills are not yet taking hold
very extensively. Despite some dam
age in some sections, the Inland EN-
pire crop is making fine outturn in
the aggregate.
Flour-There has been no change in
Hour prices though the situation is
easier with new wheat opening on
considerably lower level than has pre-
vailed for some months past. There
IS normally good demand for domes
tic patents.
Feed-Barley, oats and feed wheat
are off So and generally the market is
easy with new hay, grains and feed
stuffs beginning to arrive and good
crops.
