Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1917-10-09

$13@15 for fresh ranch wholesale
and $13 for No. l storage. Receipts
of fresh ranch are becoming more
limited all the time and it seems to
be only a question of time until fur
Their advances will be made. Storage
supplies are of good proportion and
not much if any advances over pres
ent quotations are looked for.
Fresh Meats-Both steer and COW
beef are a little firmer this week, as
is also pork. Mutton holds at the
same figures as last week, while lamb
is up a cent. In livestock receipts
are of about the same volume as
heretofore.
Lard and Cured Meats-Hams have
been advanced a cent and half over
last weeks quotations and the out
look is for further advances for the
coming week. Bacon holds firm at
last weeks quotations of 3sX421ac and
lard is unchanged as to price at 27c,
but the market is strong and indi-
Gates an advance.
Fruits and Vegetables
Increased arrivals of apples gives
more variety to select from and the
quotations have also eased off lit
tie, being S101.50 per box.
Lemons are off soc per crate, being
quoted at $3.50 for fancy and 81 for
choice, while oranges still hold at
$3.5O@475.
Bananas are firmer at SIC per
pound, while blackberries have de-
clined to $3.50 per crate.
Grapes are now very plentiful and
quotations have been marked down
all along the line. Blacks are now
81, Tokays 81, Malagas $1.25 and Con-
cords 32c.
The approach of the digging sea
son for spuds has had it's effect on
the market and the price is now down
to So per cwt. and if the crop of the
country is up to estimates, it is pos
sible that further declines will be
made. Sweets are off Csc at $3.50
per cwt.
Tomatoes, both ripe and green, are
easier this week, the former quoting
at 35Q40c and the latter at soc per
box. Corn is a little firmer at 200
csc per dozen. Green peppers have
declined from 65@s5c to 6O@65c per
box.
Grain, Flour and Feed
Wheat-The milling and grain in
| terests have now their prices fixed
for the wheat crop of the Pacific
Northwest, and the trade will now
be governed by the following prices
for bulk grain: Bluestem, S1.95; club,
$1.91, and red Russian, $1.s5. So
ia rthere has been very little wheat
sold, but enough on hand to keep the
mills in operation, and as soon as
farmers have completed their fall
farm work, we can look for active
selling, as there will be no change
in prices from now on, and growers
will save expenses by releasing their
holdings.
Flour-The -four market is firm
with the government prices now
named, and the output continues to
be limited at present only by the sup
ply of wheat, which still is consid-
erably below requirements. Business
is excellent. AT a conference of To-
cal millers this week reductions were
made all along the line. The new fig
ures are: For local patents 5000
mixed 5000, Montana hard wheat
$1,000, and Dakota hard wheat $11.
Feed-Changes also have been made
in mill feed and grain prices. While
corn has advanced from $50 to SIS a
ton, feed wheat, which was ST. a
ton, has come down to $40 Bran al
the present quotation of $50 is cheap
er by 81 a ton. Shorts, instead OF
$3s, are now S33 ton, and bran and
shorts have declined to $31 a ton.
