SEATTLE MARKETS.

The bull crowd scored on the over
Sunday respite in the higher grades
of wheat although the whites and
clubs were stationery with Saturday s
close. Northern spring was cents
higher, bid, and fancy milling blue
stem was 2 cents ever the Saturday
level. Dark northern spring hoped a
nickel over the best bids of Saturday
and the cash market was stronger
generally than it has been in several
weeks.
So many potatoes of second and
third quality are now offered that it
IS difficult to sound out the actual
market for No. | stock. 1t seems
certain that Washington growers and
distributors took too wide a measure
o. the Eastern requirements, for those
markets have eased off and there is
more or less silence. Offerings on
track Monday were composed of some
stock that contained blight and wire
worms at $2S, with some No. / fancy
where refusals of S36 were noted.
The peach season is over. 1t is not
believed there will be any stock of
consequence after this week Apple :
will then come in for attention. Extra
fancy Delicious are $4 Seattle. The
bulk of the Delicious crop has passed
il to strong hands.
Some of the early winter strength
appeared in both the butter and egg
market Monday, while quotations
were no higher the competitive bidd-
ing angle as between creamery men
and jobbers was more pronounced.
The heavy orders from the North
stripped the avenue of everything iii
butter and eggs that might resemble
a surplus, leaving the floors clean and
a brisk demand stimulated by cool r.
weather There is some question as
tc the probable height of the fresh
butter market this winter. A major
ity of creamery men do not believe it
will exceed soc. The market on fresh
hennery eggs was firmer. Recipes
have decreased rapidly and the cooler
weather has intensified the move
ment All poultry prices are unchang-
&c except light broilers of two pounds
and under, which are weak. The
opinion is gaining ground that poul-
try prices for the winter must rule
lover.
Veals are steady. Jobbers are bid
ding tic for top stock. There is a
fair demand for pork but little offer
ing.
