The cattle market was a shade lower
throughout. AS compared with the
week previous there was an active mar
ket for everything that was offered but
killers were in a little better position
to shape the market because Of the
fact that their pens were fairly we'll
supplied. There is feeling through
out the cattle trade that the market
has reached it's limit and that nothing
but prime tops will bring the high level
OF prices which has applied throughout
the fall.
The following sales are representa-
tive: Sheers, $6.5O@6 90; cows, $3.50
@6; heifers, So; calves, $6.1O; bulls,

Tacoma News Notes.
Wheat-The market is quiet affair,
considering the season. There is not a
comprehensive buying pressure from any
source. While speculative operations
have been influenced to some extent
by the outbreak of hostilities in the
Balkans, one of the principal European
export sections, this has not had any
apparent effect in causing foreign buy
ing for future delivery, and there are
no reports Of cargo sales being recently
consummated, though export operations
have finally opened in a moderate way
upon advance contracts, one sailing YES
sci getting away from this port during
the week with full cargo, while over
1000 tons was put aboard the big
steamer Algoa before her departure for
Seattle to complete her quota of nearly
$4,000 tons. This activity is serving to
relieve prospective COMPOSITIONS in termi-
nal storage facilities, while there are
weekly arrivals Of something like three.
quarters Of million bushels, despite
restricted selling operations. The Jap
anese demand comes by spurts, and
there is some inquiry from that source,
although not much Is being worked in
the way of new business.
The price situation is stationary.
Wheat in the local market is quoting at
774c for club and sOhc for bluestem.
These figures are rather above the par
ity which Europe desires to pay, put
are generally regarded as reasonably
low, and holders are inclined to the
idea that developments in the future are
likely to be in the way of recovery
of some Of the lost ground.
Wheat is coming to hand rather light
in quantity, considering the fact that
The harvest is now well completed, with
only 4s5 cars inspected in during the
week, with 81 cars cats, 10 of barley,
Of corn and s3 of hay. September
wheat receipts at this point totaled
2102 cars.
Flour-The situation shows no rur.
her change. There is a good business
1oing in patents at the lower levels,
and mills are pretty well booked up
for business, with the outlook pointing
to a steady position of prices. There
are heavy export shipments, with not
much new business being placed for
