Cattle-For the last three Mondays
steers have reached the seven cent
mark. The market seems to show
steady on good stuff OF course, this
class of cattle is not coming in free
ly. Out of the 800 head on the mar.
ket only two or three loads could show

Tacoma.
Wheat-Between-sea conditions
continue to prevail. While some new
wheat has been dribbing in during
the past week or ten days, it will still
be some time before the marketing
movement assumes representative pro-
portions, as growers are devoting I'M
divided attention to the securing of
the crop, and present prices are not
regarded as sufficiently attractive to
start selling movement for forward
delivery. Quality of wheat arriving
is generally excellent with the excep-
ton Of the fact that there is more
tnan the usual amount of smut. In
terror advices indicate steady progress
with the harvest and generally salts
factory returns, substantiating expec-
tations of a marked increase in the
yield.
Locally prices have been ruling
relatively weak. Bluestem is approx
imately sc below the quotations of
two weeks ago at 94c, with club show
ing rather less of decline at 9Oc. Two
additional engagements for Northwest
loading are reported, with the charter
market holding at the top at 95 shil-
lings. In general, the market has
strengthened slightly, on continued re-
ports of black rust and other influ-
ences tending to cut down the yield in
this country, although foreign de-
mands have not been pressing.
Underwater receipts hold light. Lo-
cal carloads inspected last week were
las cars. For July Tacoma receipts
were 521 cars; Seattle, 233 cars, and
Portland ATS cars.
Flour-While moderate amount of
business is being worked for immed-
late shipment, not much is doing in
the way of booking advance orders,
both buyers and sellers being in.
clined to wait developments in the
wheat market before entering into ex.
tensive engagements. Departing lin
ers are carrying from 10000 to $4,000
barrels to the Orient, as against a
normal of 10000 to 10000 barrels. Pat.
ents have responded further to the
easing off in wheat prices, and are
down 30c from a week ago.
