Butter-Quotations are still holding
at 27@30c for Washington creamery,
but there is a rather easy feeling to
the market which may develop into
lower price levels. The easy feeling
at Chicago still continues and buyers
consider values too high with quota.

of note in the cheese situation during

with quotations at 21@21Ac.
Dressed Meats-The merry price war
that has broken out among some of
the Spokane retail dealers seems to
have spread to the wholesale dealers
from the wide margin In quotations

stock, the packing houses report the
market steady and in fairly good con-
dition.

easier, being quoted half cent off from

wool market in bad shape as far as

Grain, Flour and Feed.
W0GdL-lNO new uGFelOUulCilLb hdNc
marked the wheat situation during the
past week, practically the same con-
ditions prevailing that has character
lied the market during the past several
weeks. In some quarters the proba-
bility Of break with Mexico had a
tendency to stiffen prices some, but on
the whole they are about the same. At
the moment, we quote bluestem at 85c
and club and red Russian at 75c.
Flour-No further changes have been
noted In the flour market since the de-
cline noted the past two weeks, and

further changes 1t will be up instead
of down.
Feed-The only price changes noted
is drop Of 81 per ton on alfalfa
caused by the incoming new crop.
Other commodities are inclined to be
firm and this is especially true of oats,
which are about due for an advance.
