NORTHWEST MARKET
REPORTS.

ment in the potato market this week.
The shipping movement southwark has
started, but no great hopes are held
out, as only small part Of the stock
is Of shipping quality. A few cars Of
Burbanks are going to California and
for these buyers are paying 10000 at
East Side points, while ordinary stock
is bringing 75@85c in Portland. The
San Francisco market is in better
shape, as the Salinas are practically
all gone, and this will leave an open
ing for limited quantity Of Oregons.
The American Wonder seed movement
seems to be about over.
The local jobbing trade is not brisk
and the market is sufficiently supplied.
Front street prices are unchanged.
There is no shipping outlet for eggs
and with receipts enlarging the mar
ket is slowly reaching a lower level.
Sales were made at 28@29c, case
count.
Poultry receipts were liberal and the
market was weak, hens selling at 1870
lac. Dressed pork was very weak,
with Sc as the top. Veal was barely
steady.
No changes were reported in the
butter or cheese markets.
White beans are steadily advancing
in price. There was a good crop on
the Coast this season and the quality
was fine, but the market is being
strengthened by the upward movement
of prices in the East, where large ex-
ports to Europe have caused advances.
