Tacoma.
Wheat-The situation continues to
hold comparatively quiet. Japan is at
present grinding up supplies recently
acquired, and is not an active bidder.
The mills are we'll stocked for pres
ent requirements, and are buying, if
at all, only in a small way. There is
some buying on California account,
and this appears to be the principal
source of outlet at the moment. Some
business is passing in the interior, the
sale of one of the largest pools held
in the Walla Walla county, amount
ing to 100000, with the disposition Of
small lots, ag%gregating in all 1900 OO
bushels, one day last week at Walla
Walla, serving to clear up most of the
surplus holdings in that section, the
price paid for bluestem, sec, being the
highest figures reported for the lei
son. Holders generally show no dis
position to accept current quotations,
) however. Locally prices are well sus-
tanned, with bluestem leading in
? strength, with an advance to 97c. Club
: is still around s5c.
Receipts for the week were fair,
aggregating 209 cars, but the total
for February of 1877 cars, as compared
with 1,27O cars for the same month
a year ago., indicates a total deficit
. for the two months of 1900 bushels
as compared with the initial months
of 1912.

y ed Is cars oats, IA of barley, 2 OF
corn, IS of hay and l of ye. The

generally ruling fairly firm. The only
