Washinaton's Grain Report.

Tacoma, Wash.-State Grain In
spector Arrasmith, who has Just re-
turned from the eastern Washington
wheat district, says he has never
known the conditions better at this
time Of the year for large yield of
wheat than now. Unless some unto
ward condition arises a record break
ing yield of wheat will be produced
this coming season. Excessive rains
fell in November, which gave the wheat
all the moisture desired at that time
of the year.
Following these rains blanket OF
snow covered the ground, effectually
protecting the grain from freezing.
The recent heavy rains, which have
produced some disastrous floods in
western Washington, we're general In
eastern Washington. The snow dis
appeared like magic before these rains
and the warm winds accompanying
them and the ground Is now as soak
ing full of water as 1t can hold. No
freezing Is apprehended to injure the
wheat. The acreage Of fall sown
wheat is below the area Of last season,
but the acreage Of spring sown wheat
will pass all former records.

TRADE REPORT.

New York.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S week
ly review of trade last week says:
Collections are notably prompt at al!
leading centers, bearing testimony to
the strong financial position Of the
nations industries at the opening Of
the new year. Distribution of mer.
chandise is heavy and manufacturers
are pressed for prompt delivery Or
ders Tor spring goods come freely and
in some lines there is more than a
sample business in fall weights. Tardy
deliveries in the past lead purchasers
to anticipate requirements more than
heretofore and orders are being placed
far in advance OF actual needs. The
fuel situation is the one seriously dis
turbing element, rendering abnormal
ly high the cost of manufacturing and
restricting the purchasing power of
almost the entire population. Fortu.
nately this comes at time Of excep.
tional prosperity or there would be a
general contraction of consumption in
other lines. There is little interrup
ton to work because of labor disputes.
but many operations are interrupted
by the delay in transit of needed ma
terials.
