Tacoma.
Wheat-The wheat market is occu-
plying a very quiet position, so far as
export business is concerned. There
is a slack demand from Europe, and
the tendency of quotations from that
source is somewhat depressed. Japan,
on the other hand, continues to buy
occasionally, while the principal factor
in the situation for the past week or
two has been the mills, who are TAX
ing stocks somewhat more freely,
with the slight termination in the
-four trade from abroad. Growers are
not satisfied with prevailing condi-
tons, but on the bulges are inclined
to relinquish their holdings freely. The
milling demand has been responsible
for the usual bulge in the price of
bluestem which has been advanced to
soc, while the absence of buying pres
sure has tended to depress club, which
has dropped back to SOC.
Flour-While trade is not of an act
i've character, most Of the mills have
started operations with fair business
in sight for delivery up to the first Of
the year, though it is difficult to meet
the ideas of buyers with the prevail
ing prices in the wheat market. Elk
port values remain at $3.50 and $3.50,
with patents unchanged and rather
quiet.
Feed-There have been no changes
during the week in the feed situation.
Grains are holding fairly firm, with
only moderate offerings in oats and
barley.

Portland Union Stock Yards Co. re-
ports receipts for the week: Cattle,
1,646; calves, 81; hogs, 1887; sheep,
6,462.
The late cattle market manifested
little if any change. Two loads OF
steers at So and $50, respectively,
one of cows at $7.25 and another at 81
were extreme quotations. All other
sales were Is to roc lower and price
range is unsteady. The beef deluge
has dulled the market temporarily and
only in rare cases does better steer
price than $7.75 appear.
The swine market was unsatisfac
tory from several viewpoints. Tota
receipts were comparatively small
quantity not of the best and demand
slow. Prices generally 15c to zoe low
er. Best light hogs selling at $3.50 tt
$8.75. Trade spasmodic and a hanC
to hand proposition.
The one real bright spot in the stoci
trade last week was the sharp &d
vance in the eve division Of the sheeI
house. Prices are from csc to b0s
higher and choice killing stock is sell
ing at $4.25 to $4.4O. Wethers were
not offering and a few poor lambs
failed to create any sensation, bu
these classes are doubtless stronger.
Representative sales have been al
follows: Steers, $7.50@8.1O; heifers
1925; COWS, $6.75Q7.25; calves, 50
