sPoKANE's MARKET LETTER


but continue to indicate a steady,
healthy progression, with prospects
for the future very encouraging.
Most of the streams that a few
weeks back were a menace, due to
the high water. have begun to recede
and danger Of floods Is now past The
persistent precipitation during the
month has afforded an excellent re-
serve of moisture for the crops during
the warm months to come. Reports
from all over the Pacific Northwest |
state that agricultural conditions
never looked more encouraging, and
predictions are for bumper crops this
year. The past cool, cloudy weather
has caused the grain to become well
set, roofing deeply, and making a good
foundation to build on during the
coming warm weather.
In the Industrial fields no marked
changes are evident. AS the milling
season is now about over, quite a
number of mills have shut down and
are making repairs and preparations
for handling the new crop. Other
mills are running on limited time.
In the lumber industry there seems
" NC d 6llSuI ucplS6 duu ndau-
facturers are not getting orders as
briskly as in the earlier part Of the
season, although all the mills are still
running steadily and activity is above
normal.
Provisions.
Butter-Local quotations remain un-
changed and will probably be station
airy for some time to come. Business
is excellent. The local make Is very
heavy, but the demand Is brisk and
fully equal to the supply. At Chicago
the demand was active and prices
firm. At New York the market was
firm and receipts light.
Eggs-Prices advanced during the
week. Quotations to the producer
now stand at $500. Receipts are
shrinking, as the heavy laying season
| is about over.
Poultry-Due to heavy receipts,
prices on chickens and BOOSTERS took a
decline of cents this week The lib
eral receipts are probably due to the
heavy laying season being now over.
Fresh Meats-Receipts Of sheep are
now quite liberal. The first shipment
of lambs arrived at the local packing
plants yesterday and quotations have
declined. Spring lamb is now quoted
at Is cents. The supply Of hogs is
now more plentiful, but prices are un
changed. Beef remains very scarce
and prices continue strong.
Lard and Cured Neutrality-suspicious.
both local and eastern, on lard remain
unchanged, with the market firm. The
only change in cured meats has been
a slight advance in eastern dry salt
sides, which are quoted at 14c-

green COW hides and on heavy steers
have declined to cents. Dry WOO
pelts have also declined to cents

$5@6.5O. California strawberries an(
cherries have also deprecated, thu

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-Quotation have advance,
again this week and now stand a
7711c for Red Russian sacked, 79h
for Club sacked, and SS1xc for Blue
stem sacked. The movement from tn
interior is slow and no one in tn
trade seems anxious to buy. The GRO
in the interior Is about cleaned out,
being estimated that not more thal
per cent still remains in the ware
houses. Prospects for the new GRO
are excellent, as the warm rains dul
ing the past few weeks have furnishe
=, a heavy supply Of moisture.
Flour-The market Is firm In syn
{ pathy with the steady advance G
wheat, but nothing new has develope
in the business situation. What f1ou
is going out is in small lots and
r brands long established by the mi
lers. Trade at the coast is fair, bu
export prices seem still to be out c
l line for oriental trade.
