Livestock-Cattle liquidation this
week has been far short of supplying
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 $7.5OQ7.55. fully a 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 $S@S.1O 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 a
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 at
$3.50 indicate the bullish attitude in
the sheep house. Few lambs are
coming forward and the market is
steady to strong. Top sales made
around $6.75.

ers, $685.; ewes, $3.50.
Tacoma.
Wheat-The position of the wheat
market continues one of extreme
quiet, due largely to the fact that the
interruption to transportation facil-
titles has been effective in checking
tidewater receipts since the first OF
the year. The undertone of the stu
alton is still fairly we'll sustained.
There is still some business passing
on export account, though confined
largely to the selling of cargoes afoat,
indicating, however, a broader int ~rest
on the part of European buyers. who
have been apathetic for some time.
Reports from the interior inolcate
that there have been some heavy
transactions, particularly in the Walla
Walla country, during the week, snow
ing that supplies are in more active
request There is still some business
being worked for Japan and the West
Coast. with struggling coastwise de-
mand. The mills have also increased
their holdings to some extent since
the advent of the new year.
Flour-1he is a stronger under
tone to the flour market. Local man.
ufacturers made an advance OF zoe
per barrel in the price of patents
Tuesday, which does not meet the
higher prices prevailing for bluestem
wheat. There have been fair export
orders, but millers cannot contract
with any degree of confidence owing
to the continued deterrent of made
quate oriental transportation facilities.
eed-There has been a stronger
undertone, due to the fact that de-
liveries have been difficult during
the past week or two and commodi-
ties are generally slightly higher.
Oats have shown the nrst advance
of 81 a ton that has occurred since
the opening Of the season, while
feed wheat is also higher, and hay
has scored further upward move
ment of 81 for both timothy and al
falfa.
