NORTHWEST MARKET
REPORTS.

been made by some dealers to break
the price still further, but without sue
cess, as receipts so far have not been
heavy. 1t is only the backwardness Of |
buyers that has brought the market to I
the present level.
There was a little better demand |
for poultry and the market was g
shade firmer. Dressed meat receipts
were small and the market was quiet.
There IL a very flair movement in
the apple market. Dealers report
better demand for dollar fruit than
any time this winter. Heretofore the
inquiry has been almost wholly for the
cheaper apples.
The big January buying movement
in the hop market appears to have ex-
tended into February, although dealers
report slowing down OF operations
with some of the more important buy
ers withdrawn from the market.

Tacoma-Sugar continues its upwarI
5 climb. Dealers predict another ad
E vance of is cents on all varieties, ant
t say they are unable to determine whel
! the advance will end. The soaring o
t local sugar is in line with the New
T York market.
Local jobbers attribute the stiff ad
vances to foreign demands. Englsn
! drawing heavily upon the Unite'
States. The British Isles formerly re
lied greatly upon Germany for supple
: of beet sugar and with the war i
progress has been forced to turn t
some other source.
: The Canadian demand for Unite
States butter will be curtailed by ship
ments of this commodity from Ne'
Zealand A shipment of 10000 cube
y is expected at Vancouver soon- Tn
