Tacoma.
Wheat-The sharp slump in the
prices of wheat has been the occasion
for surprise among holders who re-
fused to sell on the recent bulge.
Growers who sold readily at the first
up-turn of the market became imbueu
with the belief that a sustained ana
appreciable advance was in prospect,
and withheld offerings around the
top, but this did not prevent a de-
cided reaction, once the support i'm
parted by the entry of the mills for
acquiring stocks for the last half OF
the season had been withdrawn. Dur
ing the week prices have gone off
4c for Bluestem, which is quoting
down to 94c, with club at 85c, and
there is practically no business Of mo-
ment in progress or prospect. The
subsistence of the demands for export
-four, together with the fact that man
ufacturers are now practically up to
their warehouse space in holdings OF
wheat, renders it probable that there
will be little call from the millers for
a considerable period, and beyond the
dribbling business passing all the time
| for California, there are transactions
of consequence. Europe has been a
minus factor for considerable period,
and Japan is now able to satisfy it's
wants more economically from Aus
| tralia than from this country.
| With the subsistence in purchases,
there is a falling off in receipts at
tidewater, the aggregate coming to
hand locally for the week amounting
since the first of the month, being rep
resentative, however, at $40 cars, with

Feed-There has been no changes
during the week in the market for
feedstuffs. Hay is ruling comparative
ly firm at former figures. Oats main
tain the advance to $2S@29, with bar
ley at $24@25. Feed wheat is easier,
but has shown no reaction from 500

pany reports market as follows:
Receipts for the week have been:
Cattle, 1874; calves, IL; hogs, 1852;
sheep, 1922; horses, 100.
During the week the cattle market
has been steady to a shade weaker
The bulk of steer offerings have been
short or prime in quality and the few
in this week run were difficult to
move at $7.50@7.75. Demand is slow
for all grades, but especially so for
poorly finished stuff and small lots
Of COWS sold from 81 down to $3.50
according to quality. Light calves
stady to strong at SO. Bulls steady
$5.5O@6.
An improved tone featured the
swine market, Prime hogs found
ready buyers at $7.5O@755, and one
car at $3.50, prices from 5@1Oc higher
than recent quotations. Receipts to
tailed over $500 head and the entire
supply was cleaned up without delay
The demand for prime wethers
yearlings and ewes was greater than
receipts, the bulk of which were con
tract shipments. Yearlings, $6.25Q
6.35; wethers, $6@6.15, and ewes
$5.15@5.25, represent the Lulk prices
in the sheep house. Lamb trade
seemed tirm, as $7.25 bids were easily
coaxed if choice quality was offered
The lamb supply has been small, as
the 1912 crop is nearly exhausted.
