NORTHWEST MARKET
REPORTS.

Portland-The war scare in Europe |
and the higher prices in the foreign |
markets was the cause of a consider
able furry in the Northwestern wheat |
markets. Several buyers jumped into
the market and by raising their bids
found good many farmers willing to
let go. 1t is not known how much |
wheat changed hands, but the quantity
was considerable. The buying was
on the basis of 70 to 80 cents for club
Local butter prices were advanced 2
cents to the 30-cent basis for prints.
All the creameries did not join in the
advance, but the new price may be
general this week. At the same time,
some of the city creameries raised
their buying price Of butter fat to 29
cents. There has been a seasonable
decline in cream receipts, and at the
same time an increase in the demand
for butter is reported.
The bulk of egg sales were evenly
divided between the 29c and 30c levels,
but jobbers were slow about pushing
the extreme top, fearful of cutting off
the trade. Should the market rise
about zoe at this time, it is believed
the demand would fall so far that a
surplus would be shown.
Heavy spring chickens will be lower
next week.
