NORTHWEST MARKET
REPORTS.

Portland-There is slowing down
of wheat buying in the country this
week. Prices were not quotably
changed, yet the large buyers did not
seem disposed to go as strong as they
did a few days ago. The Chicago mar
ket receded, influenced by the accumu-
lation of domestic stocks, and this had
some effect on sentiment notwithstand-
ing that the English markets were
steady.
Most of the dealers are carrying
large stocks, and until an opportunity
is presented for turning them, buying
operations will likely be held down.
Farmers are very firm in all sections
and the majority of them appear in
different to current offers.
At the Merchants Exchange sessions
red wheat was steady, but club was II
cents lower on bid, and milling and
shipping bluestem were each down a
cent. Five thousand bushels of forty
fold were sold at $1.O9, followed by
sale of 10, bushels at $1.10. Five
thousand bushels of red Russian
changed hands at $1.01.
The oats market did not display its
recent strength. Buyers offered $28. 25
against $29 the preceding week, and
there were sellers at $2S.50, or a dol
lar less than was asked previously.
Barley bids were 30 cents higher,
$22.50 being offered for feed and $29
for export grade.
