SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.
Provisions.

| Provisions.
| Butter-There has been no change
since the advance of cents on local
creamery and easterns late last week,
except that country butter is stronger
in sympathy. Suppnes generally are
getting scarce and markets are ad-
vancng. At Chicago market is strong,
due to lighter receipts and good de-
mand. New York market has been
steadily moving upward; stocks held
there IN storage are exceptionally large.
Cheese-Local makes are about u
cent higher, and market is very firm.
Eastern stocks offering in this market
are unchanged since the advance re-
Gently noted.
Eggs-The strong tone of the market
has continued and there has been an
advance all along the line in both To-
Gals and eastern fresh offerings. Local
production is steadily shrinking, though
considerable local stocks were placed
in storage this season. At Chicago cur
rent receipts are largely under grade,
causing inquiry for storage eggs. At
New York market is steady, though
good eggs are not plentiful
| Poultry-Chickens have been scarce,
but more liberal shipments are expected
in day or two; there is a good de-
mand which is clearing up offerings at
unchanged prices. Ducks, geese and
turkeys are nominal.
Fresh Meats-There is no change this
week in either dressed meats or live
stock, but the market rules strong as
heretofore noted, under conditions of
general scarcity.
Lard and Cured Meats-Market is
strong, with no further changes in
either local or eastern lard or cured
meats.
Hides and Wool-Green cowhides
heavy steers and calfskins are down 1
cent. Hides are slow, but there is a
good movement of wool at unchanged
figures.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-Local quotations are un.
changed on both fancy and cooking va
rieties. The crop in this section is a
record breaker, and market is easy at
present comparatively low prices. It is
estimated that from the immediate Spo.
kane district 1900 cars of apples will
be shipped out this fall, as compared
with 200 cars last year.
Peaches-Receipts of peaches have
been heavy and prices have dropped
another 10 cents. Demand is active
and the season is about at its height
Lemons-With a cool season IN this
section and the end of the general sea-
son of heavy consumption, prices have
eased off rs cents this week.
Other fruits are in seasonabIe sup.
ply and demand, without material
change in prices.

ing. Sweets are unchanged. At Chi.
cago receipts have been heavy, but the
quality poor and prices easy. New
York market strengthened under the
influence of rain in that section, but
eased off later under increased receipts
Tomatoes-There is considerable in.

sumptive demand at unchanged prices

vegetables seasonable and unchanged.

transformations are down 1 cent
as compared with the figures of a week
ago. The recent rains have damaged
wheat somewhat, though this has been
in reducing quality rather than in any
very great reduction in the aggregate
yield. Fine weather the last few days
is saving the grain, though much of il
is bleached, soft or wet. While move
ment to tidewater is not yet fully
under way Gas the weather has delayed
the winding up of harvesting) the cal
shortage is already causing complaint
Market is rather quiet, as neither mill:
nor exporters are buying freely yet
The ground is in fine shape for fall
