TACOMA MARKET LETTER.

Wheat--The tendency has been rather
towards an easing off, both in the d.
rection of activity in demands and in
the prices offering by buyers. While
the European war situation has been
utilized to its limit in stimulating in
terest in the speculative situation, the
firmness which it has impaired has been
largely offset by the persistency with
which the world s available supplies
continue to mount upward, and the
manifest tendency of buyers to proceed
along conservative lines in the antici-
patton of future requirements.
There is little wheat selling for
European delivery right along, and the
arrival of tonnage has impaired some
activity in the actual export movement.
Some sales in round lots are also re-
ported for eastern shipment at rather
better than prevailing levels. The
movement in that direction will doubt
less be greater than in recent seasons,
but aside from these avenues the call
is decidedly restricted. The mills do
not care for additional grain stocks.
Their wants are provided for for a
considerable time to come, and most of
them have storage space pretty we'll
uIlliAeu. JdpdH mas MADE considerable
purchases, but not of recent date, the
tonnage space for immediate shipment
being engaged for making deliveries on
previous contracts, while California IS
purchases are of dribbling character.
There have been no radical changes,
but the tendency is to shade values,
and bluestem is now quoting about a
cent lower at SIC, with club at roc.
Flour-There are still no radical
changes in the flour situation. Sound
shipments are still going forward to
the orient, but these represent business
booked at the opening of the season
largely, and there are few sales re-
ported for export account, though some
business is doing right along. Patents
are unchanged and there is steady
demand from the distributive trade at
current levels.
Feed-Oats are steady, though in
clined to easiness in values, and, with
barley, are quoting at $26@27 per ton,
Corn is weak with the approach of new
crop deliveries, and is due for a marked
decline later. The hay market con.
tinues to show strength, and timothy
has again advanced this week, going to
$17@1s, with good demand for strictly
clear, which is not over plentiful.
