Cattle trade has been nominally
steady, showing little change either

good grades, selling 1925 to $3.50.

Tacoma.
Wheat-The local export market
has taken on rather more life than for
some little time, due to the fact that
Europe is once more a factor in the
situation, and there have been fair
sales of club during the week. the
bulk of which was on that account
This has resulted in an advance of lie
to sec, while bluestem, which is not
in as active request at the moment,
still continues at csc. One of the Har-
rison liners clearing during the week
carried 1900 tons of wheat from this
port to the United Kingdom, while
another is now loading a similar con-
signment for the same destination.
With the end of the present week adj
ditional warehouse and tax will be
charged against holdings, and there
has been some little inclination to sell,
local receipts showing an increase TO
214 cars during the week. With the
mills out of the market, and Japan
buying sparingly, with scattering ship
ments being made to coastwise points,
the volume of business in the aggre-
gate is of limited character.
Late estimates placing the Argen-
tina crop at 195,OO0,OOO bushels for
the season, as compared with 273,-
100000 bushels last year, keeps the
situation fairly we'll sustained and
causes holders to entertain confidence
that requirements will absorb all
stock before new crop supplies be-
come available.
Flour-There is a fair seasonable
business passing in local sales of pat
ents, with conditions holding without
material change. In the export situa-
ton no recent changes of note have
occurred. Price on export still holds
around $3.75.
Feed-There are no changes of
note in the market for feedstuffs.
