Livestock-Cattle liquidation this

trade requirements. Killers show a
keen desire for prime beef, but are not
overlooking medium grades, SO urgent
is the call. Heavy fed steers, steady
to strong at $7.5O@7.55. fully quarter
higher than previous market periods.
All classes of butcher stuff selling
strong, with cows and heifers having
the lead, tops bringing $6.75 Friday.
The swine market experienced
sharp losses during the week, as re-
ceipts totaled over 5000 head and
proved veritable glut to trade chan
nels, opening at $6QS.10 Monday. The
market dropped to $3.50 by mid-week
and closed steady to weak at$7.5O@
7.65.
The mutton market is steady to q
shade higher and the tendency is de
cidedly upward. Receipts have been
unsatisfactory and anxious buyers are
bidding stronger prices for prime
ewes and wethers. Three carloads Of
wethers, selling at $685. and ewes al
$3.50 indicate the bullish attitude il
the sheep house. Few lambs are
coming forward and the market is
around $6.75.

Tacoma.
Wheat-The position of the whea
market continues one of extreme
quiet, due largely to the fact that thu
interruption to transportation facil
tiles has been effective in checking
tidewater receipts since the first O
the year. The undertone of the stu
alton is still fairly well sustained.
There is still some business passing
on export account, though confine'
largely to the selling of cargoes afioat
indicating, however, broader lntNres
on the part of European buyers, VIII
have been apathetic for some time
Reports from the interior inulcat
that there have been some heav
transactions, particularly in the Wall
Walla country, during the week, snow
ing that supplies are in more actlv
request There is still some bushes
being worked for Japan and the Yves
Coast, with struggling coastwise dc
mand. The mills have also increase
their holdings to some extent sine
the advent of the new year.
Flour-1here is a stronger undel
tone to the flour market. Local mai
ufacturers made an advance OF 20
per barrel in the price of patent
Tuesday, which does not meet tn
higher prices prevailing for bluesteI
wheat. There have been fair expol
orders, but millers cannot contra1
with any degree of coincidence OWN
to the continued deterrent of mad
quate oriental transportation facilitie
eed-There has been stronge
undertone, due to the fact that d.
liveries have been difficult durin
the past week or two and commod
ties are generally slightly highe
Oats have shown the nrst advanc
of 81 a ton that has occurred sine
the opening of the season, Will
feed wheat is also higher, and ha
has scored a further upward NOV
ment of 81 for both timothy and a
falfa.
