TACOMA MARKET LETTER.


Wheat-While the near approach of
the turn of the year has the usual
effect of producing a condition of com
parative quiet in grain trading opera
tions, the developments have been
rather more encouraging to holders and
the undertone of the market, which
has been soft for a considerable time,
has taken on somewhat firmer aspect.
There is little demand from abroad,
though some inquiry and few sales Of
moderate dimensions are reported for
oriental delivery, with fair shipments
still going forward to that destination.
Inquiry from Europe is limited and no
business of consequence has been
worked for that destination for a con-
siderable period at Pacifc coast points,
though the hardening of values there
has been influential in raising quotations
moderately, club is now being held at
79c, with bluestem at SIC.
There have been scattering sales to
the mills, though they are generally
well provided for and inclined to act
along conservative lines, while the de-
mands from California are about of
normal seasonable proportions. There
are still heavy surplus stocks carried
over, which will be disposed of after
the turn of the year, estimates placing
the total movement to date at less than
half the crop harvested last season. In
the absence of business, freights are
occupying a nominal position, with no
indications of a change from asking
prices of so shillings for steamers, with
the usual disparity for sailing vessels
Receipts are holding light, though less
difficulty is experienced in securing de-
liveries on account of the transportation
situation.
Flour-There- has been no consequen
tial change in the flour market. Not q
great deal of new business is being
placed for export, though local mills
are closing up the biggest year in the
history of their operations, with fail
business booked for shipment during
January, though contracts beyond tina
date are rather limited, while space il
still difficult to provide for. The prize
situation is upon a less certain basil
than for some time, though the genera
average for export is around $3.50. Pat
ents are moving fairly at unchanged
jobbing quotations.
Feed-There has been rather create
activity in demands for choice oats, blu
market conditions continue to rule un
changed Barley is holding very cas-.
and quotations for round lots of fee
barley are lower around $24, with quie
prevailing. Corn is lower, while hay
still showing a fairly firm position
Millstuffs are practically unchanged
though the increased demands and mod
crate output have impaired q eonditio
! of frmness to bran, particularly.

Parachute for Aviator

Paris.-An ingenious automatic par
achute for aeroplanes was demon
strated from the Eiffel tower here
The contrivance, which consists of q
vast umbrella 40 feet in diameter, has
a system of springs operating instan
taneously and automatically when the
fall begins. The parachute was
dropped from the first platform of the
tower with a sandbag to represent al
aviator The apparatus opened fully
before it had fallen 60 feet. 1t landed
gently, taking 16 seconds to drop 19'
feet.

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

Butter-The local situation shows no
change from last week. The market is
firm and prices will probably remain at
their present level for a considerable
time. Creamery receipts are not much
improved, but the prices have reached
a point where a large class of consum-
ers will deny themselves rather than
pay the high prices the product com
mands.
Cheese-The cheese market remains
unchanged with prices firm in sympa-
thy with the butter situation.
Eggs-Although the demand is good
there has been a drop of so cents per
case on local products. This is prob
ably due to the fact that receipts for
this time of the year are exceptionally
good on account of the prevailing mild
weather. There is probability of a
still further decline.
Poultry-No change is noted in Local
poultry conditions The supply is good
and prices are steady. Although there
is a fair number of local turkeys
brought in as compared with previous
years, a considerable quantity is shipped
in from the east.
Dressed Meats-Quotation on muttoI
have advanced slightly. Other prices
remain the same, the quotation on hog
is slightly weak, due to the fact that the
supply is quite plentiful at this tint
of the year. There is still scarcity OF
beef and prices continue firm, with tn
demand good.
Lard and Cured Meats-Local lar'
remains unchanged; but eastern lard, II

Osterhaus, in a letter which he wrote

chief petit officers and signed simply

men of the fleet that they unite in a
subscription for the purchase of a gift
which would convey their apprecia-
ton of what Miss Gould has done for
the service"
The limit of an individual subscrip-
ton was placed at 20 cents. The Of
ficers of the fleet are to have an op
portunity to join in a gift to Miss
Gould through the taking of a sepa
rate subscription. No decisions as tc
the nature of the gift has yet beer
reached, it is understood.
Miss Gould has long been interested
in the welfare of the enlisted men o.
the navy. The fine club house, which
stands near the Brooklyn navy yarC
entrance, is her gift to them.
Mr.. Shepard, Miss Gould's fiance
arrived in New York Saturday from
st. Louis, his headquarters as a Mis-
souri, Pacific official having been trans
ferred to this city. No date for thu
wedding has been fixed, he said

has taken a decline. Although no
change has been recorded on curea
meats, the market is little uneasy,
due to the fact that the holiday de-
mand runs mostly toward the consump
ton of poultry.
Hides and Wool-The hide market is
weak and there are strong prospects OF
decline in the near future, as the
demand is poor. Wool quotations, al
though unchanged, are strong and there
is a good demand.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples Quotations remain un-
changed, the market continues dead,
with the demand sluggish. Consumers
are being supplied by farmers at almost
any price they choose to pay, and very
little is being shipped out.
Oranges-Prices remain unchanged.
There is an active trade, however, due
to the holiday demand.
Other Fruits-Huckleberr are OH
the market Other quotations remain
the same. There is a good demand for
bananas and tomatoes.
Potatoes-The market continues dor
mant. There seems to be a conspiracy
between it and the apple market to
take a nap this winter. Sweet potatoes
are selling quite freely, and quotations
have advanced to So.
Other egetables-Citron is off the
market Other quotations remain the
same, with the market steady and the
demand fair.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-Due partly to a falling off il
the available grain supplies, prices OF
wheat have taken a slight adance anC
are holding firm at the new level. Th'
movement also has slightly improved
Although considerable grain has already
been shipped from interior warehouse
there is still a considerable quantity il
the country, due to the bumper crop
this year.
Transformation remain substan
TALLY the same as last week. Prices ar
steady, with a fair volume of business
Feed-The only change in feed quo
tations has been in the price of corn
which has dropped from $3s per ton t.
$50. This is due to heavy shipment
of new corn from the east. Prospect
are that there will be a still furthe
decline of a couple of dollars. Othe
feed quotations remain unchanged. TIL
demand for good quality of hay is pick
ing up, as most hay on the market is o
inferior quality.
