Eggs-Situation holds steady. While
there has been no further advances,
the undertone of the market is strong
and trending upwards. Egg values at
New York are firm and Chicago notes
an advance.
Dressed Meats-The market is rul-
ing unchanged. The market for gen.
eral offerings has been around the top
in the Pacific Northwest. Hogs are
still ruling high, with pork unchanged.
Receipts of mutton are still rather
light and other quotations are about
the same.
Lard and Cured Meats-Following
the recent furry on hams and bacon,
the market has steadied down and
there has been no changes in quota
lions for some time, while some i'm
provement is noted in offerings. Bust
ness is holding up well. Lard re-
mains at the recent advance.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples--The apple situation in the
local jobbing way is rather limited as
to stocks. There are few small size
fancy offering at $1.25 per box and
quite a fair amount of cookers to be
had at 81. New York apple market
reported firm and higher, with re-
ceipts larger than for some time.
Other Fruits-Oranges are a little
easier, with fancy quoting at S3.50@
and choice at $3.50. Cloudy wea tn
er has been deterrent to the straw
berry situation, although quotations
are off a little at $40. Cherries are
also some cheaper at $1.75@2.00 per
box. There has been no change in
lemons since last week.
Potatoes-Market still holds at $1.25
per hundredweight for old stocks, with
new spuds down to sc per pound.

the increase.

a little easier at 1215c per pound, as
is also radishes at Csc per dozen

carrots, rutabagas and parsnips, are
off the market.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-There has been very little
activity in the wheat situation during
the past week, although better offer.
ings are noted where many holders
are inclined to clean up stocks and
shorten the caarry-over. Export de-
mand is of limited proportions, due
as heretofore, to the fact that deliv
cries are uncertain. The mills are
taking little wheat at present. Position
and prices hold without notable change
locally, bluestem holding as for some
time, with other descriptions at the
usual parity. In general, the position
of the market has indicated fair ele
ment Of strength. The government
crop market report, indicating win
ter wheat crop of 499, 100000 bushels
a falling off of 156, 100000 bushels
from last season, proving strength

tied with a prospective winter wheat
crop of 16,300,O0O bushels, as com
pared with 30,636,000 bushels last sea
son.
Flour-Market is holding steady, sc
lol 40 patents dAc COucOlhSu, anu lut

not operating on an extensive basis al
the present time.

there has been an advance of 50 pei
ton in bran and shorts. Alfalfa ha,
is weaker, with new crop supplies
