Wheat-There is nothing of conse-
uence passing in the local wheat mar
ket, business being largely confined to
small shipments to California and
scattering acquisitions from the mill
ing trade. European export is purely
of a consignment character, while ia
pan is supplying it's acquisitions, If it
has any at this time, from Australia,
keeping operations within the narrow
<1.& II.
bluestem wheat are quoting up 1c. the
former at SIC and the latter at 97c,
while the general situation is fairly
we'll sustained, based upon reiterated
advices Of shortage in the Argentine
crop, which will afford less than half
the normal export surplus, according
to dispatches. Wheat in first hands
is in a strong position, with very lit
tie offering, but terminal warehouses
are carrying a comparatively heavy
surplus.
Flour-The flour market is decided
ly quiet. While most mills have con-
tinued to operate, they are still work
ing on old contracts, very little new
business having been placed for sew
eral weeks. Present contracts will
be exhausted by about the middle of
February, and, unless there should be
a termination in demands, there will
follow a curtailment of operations.
Prices are steady at around $3.65 for
club straights and $3.50 for bluestem
cutoffs and necessarily firm, because
of the position of the wheat market.
Feed-There is no change in the
feed situation. Oats are steady at S26
and $27, with barley at $24.5O and
$3.50. Sitter weather should result
in increased demands, however, in
which event there would probably be
advances, as stocks are being firmly
held.
Portland.
Portland union stock yards report
receipts for the week: Cattle, 1852:
calves, 4; hogs, 1880; sheep, SOTO
Live stock receipts totaled consid-
erably less this week than last and
business was not brisk The cattle
situation failed to clear and on only
one day, Monday, was there any in
terest aroused. A few cars of choice
steers brought $3.50 and a load of
young cows $6.75. Bulk of weeks
steer sales averaged 81 to S7.25 and
cows SO to $6.25. All other butcher
classes were slow and principal cause
of price weakness was inferior beef
quality and too much of It.
The hog market maintained its
strength easily from beginning to end
Prices never rose above Ss05. but
choice light stock averaged around SC
all week. A lot of swine that lacked
prime finish sold at lower prices, but
good quality pigs and smooth heavy
stuff found a quick sale at steady
prices. Receipts were fairly liberal,
but some 1000 less than for same
period last week.
Sheephouse trade was brisk only in
spots, as liquidation was unsteady.
Total arrivals were smaller than for
previous six days. A good supply of
prime granted mutton and lambs
came in the first part of the week.
Wether sold at S5.s5 and ewes SAYS
"off cars" Lamb buyers gave $3.50
for the fancy grades and were not
over-supplied. The market closed on
weaker basis with a 1Oc to 15c de-
cline in all mutton lines.
