NORTHWEST MARKET
REPORTS.

Portland-The undertone of the but
ter market is weak. City creameries
quote the old price and give no indica-
tion of any immediate change. but it
is said some shading of quotations is
being done. The weakness of the
market is due to the large make and
the slower demand.
Because of the mild, open weather,
production is unusually heavy for this
this time of year. One large cream
cry man reports that the output of his
plant is 10 per cent of what it was in
July. Country creameries are turning
out great deal of butter, as is shown
by the pressure to sell the surplus on
this market. In past years, the Oc-
tober make has usually shown great
shrinkage, but this season the cream
cry men are facing unexpected condi-
tions.
Club wheat sales were made in the
Walla Walla section at a price equal
to $1.05 at tidewater. This is the
highest price that club has brought in
the Pacific Northwest this year. In
the Palouse country fortyfold sold at
the equivalent of sl.08 Coast. Buying
was active ip the country wherever
wheat was offered for sale, and strong
prices were bid.
At the Merchants Exchange 5000
bushels of November club changed
hands at $1.04. The best bid for spot
club was s1.02t. Bluestem was also
unchanged at s1.08, but there were
lower offers made for fortyfold and
red. For spot fortyfold 81. 06 was bid,
and S1.08 was offered for December
delivery.
