Tacoma News Notes.

Wheat-There is a healthier under
tone and more representative opera
lions in the wheat market at the pres
ent time than for several weeks. TIL,
volume of operations has been accentu
ated by a better call from European
markets, and number of cargoes hav.
been placed for future delivery, tn,
first in some time. There is also al
increased inquiry from Japan, and
while not much new business is pass
ing on that account, the aggregate vol
ume of sales to the oriental market
have mounted up to a very considera
Bile item, exceeding by a large margin
purchases of wheat made in any pre-
vious season. To considerable ex
tent, however, the call from the latter
source is deterrent to keep
ing milling demands up to full norma
proportions. The increased percentage
OF grinding going on in Japan is tend
ing to cause conservatism among the
mills in buying for future require
ments, and this factor has been 3
minus element in the trade for some
little time, with most manufacturer
provided for to date considerably re
moved. While it is probable that the
war scare in Europe, involving the
source of supplies conferred in the Bal
kans, has been responsible for some OF
the termination in evidence in the de
mand, and helped to improve the price
situation, following the protracted
period of depression, though another
favorable factor in this connection
the lessening to a degree of the exac
tons imposed by carriers. Charters
have been made during the week or
basis of As shillings for sailing ships
and there are offerings for distant de
livery at 44@45s, though steamers are
still holding their figures at nominally
Sos.
Better prices are quoting by export

Flour-The export situation is a

concerned, though fair shipments are
still going forward to the orient. The
tonnage situation and the heavy wheat

both influences operating against the

Greater homage in pageantry and

Fifteen thousand persons singing

about his casket on street corner in

holding of a church service.
Mill Workers Shed Tears.

money for the erection of a monument.
The Rev. J. M. Avann likened the
dead hero to the Christ and quoted
from the Bible:
"He saved others, yet himself he
could not save" This was his text.
What means this concourse of peo-
pie? Why has the heart of Gary been
touched as never before? Why do
thousands block the streets?" asked
the minister.
Life for Girl He Never Knew.
1--WE are told man is dead. Why,
men die every day. Yet this man had
no office and was almost unknown.
He was only newsboy. But he made
the great sacrifice. He risked his life,
then gave it that girl whom he never
knew might live. His was the sacri-
flee of one who loved his fellow man.
In life his CHEEKY smile and kindly
greeting was worth going a mile to
see and hear In death he has at
tracted an assemblage to pay him
tribute that would not assemble for a
self-centered man. This was the spirit
of Rugh. The spirit of self-sacrifice,
and If you are inspired by it, my words
will not have been in vain."

200 MILES OF BATTLE FRONT

London.-Along the mountainous

advance of the allied armies into Tur-
key continues. The Turkish army ap.
pears to be acting on the defensive.
Its outposts are advancing slowly and

are marching toward the frontier.
Only small engagements which give

BULLET LIES OUTSIDE HIS RIB.
Roosevelt Prefers to Leave Lead In
Body.

Chicago.-The position Of the bullet
that SO nearly cost Theodore Roosevelt
his life October IA, at Milwaukee, at
the hands Of John Schrack, a Baya-
rian, was fixed with precision Sunday
for the first time. An X-ray photo
graph was taken today and from this
1t was learned that the bullet lay on
the outside of the broken rib. Until
this photograph was taken the physi-
clans had been unable to state posi-
lively whether 1t was on the outside
or inside the rib.
I'VE know definitely that the bullet
lies outside the rib, where it can do no

Colonel Roosevelt said he did not
think he would ever have the bullet re-
moved.

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.
Provisions,

Butter-Local quotations rule about
the same as last week, with the market
steady to firm under seasonable influ.
snces. At Chicago high prices have re.
stricted trading causing decline of
about l cent. At New York receipts
have been somewhat heavier, while high
prices checked buying and prices de.
clined slightly.
Cheese-Cream brick 10 up another
" cent, in sympathy with recent ad.
vances in full cream cheese Supplies
generally are getting scarcer, while de.
mand is good. Swiss and limburger
are lower.
Eggs-The market continues very
firm, under seasonable influences, but
without any material changes in prices
this week. Local ranch eggs are almost
nil and eastern and local storage stocks
largely supply the market. The Chi
cago market has ruled quiet and easy
since the recent advance. At New
York high prices restricted the move
ment and storage stocks weakened
considerably.
Poultry-A weaker tone to chickens
resulted in decline of v cent. Ducks,
geese and turkeys are still nominal and
unchanged, but will begin to show
activity in few weeks.
Fresh Meats-Both dressed meats and
livestock are unchanged this week, but
markets generally are very firm, espe-
cially on cattle, though hogs are slightly
weaker.
Lard and Cured Meats-Long-con
tinued strength in meats has caused ad.
vances this week on both local and
eastern lard. Local hams are also up
" cent and bacon l cent, following the
previous advances in the eastern prod
ucts.
Hides and Wool-There have been
some slight declines from advances
noted last week. Hides are in fair de-
mand, but wool is quiet under political
influences.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-There have been no further

ton. Large consignment shipments ar,
being made to the coast At Chicago
market is reported easier under liberia
receipts. At New York receipts wer,
very heavy, but demand has been gooe
and prices declined only slightly.
Grapes-Trade continues brisk in thi.
line. Washington varieties are plenti
full, with good demand and California
offerings have declined in price
Other Fruits-Late peaches continu,
in good supply and have declined
slightly again this week. Other vege
tables in seasonabe supply and demand
without material change in prices.
Potatoes-Prices continue unchanged

ket is easy, even at present low figures
under the influence of large crops in thi.
section. At Chicago market is stronger

have been heavy and prices declined
slightly.
Tomatoes-There is a fair supply and
demand at unchanged prices, but tn,
local season is nearly over, and in an
other week or two supplies will have
to be shipped in from the south.
Other Vegetables-Red peppers ant
citron have declined. Other vegetables
seasonable and unchanged.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-The commencement of hos
tilities between the Balkan States and
Turkey, together with other influences
strengthened the wheat market consid
erably earlier in the week, but these
effects have been discounted and prices
later dropped off somewhat, until prices
are now only ~ cents higher on blue
stem, l cent on club and y cent on Red
Russian than the figures of week ago
A better call from Europe, more inquiry
from Japan and less firm charter rates
have impaired much healthier tone
to the wheat market on this coast
though neither the mills nor exporters
are anxious buyers, and much of the
bumper crop of the Pacific Northwest is
being found to be smutty and of poorer
grade than usual. There is complaint
of lack of cars in some sections, but the
situation is by no means acute as yet
and wheat is moving to tidewater about
as fast as it is contracted.
Flour-There has been no change
since the declines previously noted. Do.
mestics are active, while coast advices
note fair demand for oriental ship
ments.
Feed-The only change this week is
an advance of 81 on alfalfa. New stuffs
are coming to hand freely, and there
is sufficient demand to hold prices
steady.

TO ORGANIZE
LIVE STOCK
EXHIBIT HERE
IN CONNECTION With FAIR
Such is Suggestion Made By
Stable Man

A suggestion was made yesterday by
a well known livery stable man that
Il live stock exhibit gotten up as a
part of the county fair that is planned
for next fall and which now seems
practically a certainty.
1t would seem that this should prove
a feature of the fair that would be OF
unusual interest to every farmer in
the county The exhibit of live stock
never fails to arouse interest at a fair
and it is said that there are some OF
the finest colts to be found in this
entire section right on the farms OF
many Scmter county farmers.
Interest has been aroused here in
he use of Percheron horses on the
farm This should help to afford still
further stimulus in this direction. The
Sumter County Live Stock association
Will also likely take a hand in arous-
ing interest in the exhibit, if the man
tgement of the fair and others who
ere closely interested in live stocH
get behind the movement.
