While the price of wheat on the
Chicago market ia showing a slightly
better tone of late, the Pendleton mar
ket. which follows somewhat the gen.
eral trend of Chicago prices. is not yet
in such position as to lure either deal
ers or growers out of confinement.
No reports of purchases of local wheat
are In the air at this time.
The concensus of opinion is that
both the dealers and the growers are
awaiting the fixing of some stable
position upon which to base the mar
ket. Since the opening of the Chicago
wheat pit last month there have been
wide variations in the price of wheat.
farmers who were offered an oppor-
.tunlty early in the season to sell
wheat on the basis of $3.50 bushel
now are naturally disinclined to sell
at $2.10 and thereabouts.
