Wheat-The market has advanced a
trlfe over quotations of last week

cents, and Bluestem at So cents.
Prices are steady at the present level
and business rather inactive. What
little shipping is going on now is
mostly to Japan. Most of the wheat
is now out of the hands of the farm

be little change in conditions for some

6radstreet's Says Trade Is EXPANDING
-Oun's Says No Change.

Bradstreet's Review OF Trade saws:
Trade is expanding. visiting BUYERS
are increasing their purchases as the
season progresses, and in consequence
February opens auspiciously. Retail
dealers continue to press jobbers for
goods. colder weather has impaired
zest to final distribution, Industrious
operations are as active as heretofore.
winter wheat is in good shape, money
is in active demand and save in a few
lines. merchants display no particular
apprehension over prospective tariff
changes.
Copper is very dull and the under
tone is weak.
Farmers are holding their coarse
grains and lower temperatures have
brought more firmness in prices for
foodstuffs. Soil conditions in parts of
the southwest have been improved by
recent falls of snow, but there is room
for further Improvement, though the
wheat belt, as whole, as we'll as the
crop, is in good shape.
Money is in good request and banks
continue to be liberal buyers of com.
mercial paper, the supply Of which Is
not abreast of demand.
Business failures for the week end
ing February were $50. which COM
pares with 1923 in the like week Of
1912. There were Al failures in Can
ada.
Wheat, including flour exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending February aggregate
a,s59,752 bushels. against 3,s16.45s this
week last year.
4. 4 Il
Dun's Review says: No important
change has taken place in the bust
ness situation during the last week.
The leading industries and trades are
still prosperous and the undercurrent
OF conservatism that exists in some
quarters has not retarded to any meas.
urable extent the seady broadening of
Industrial and mercantile activity.
The Balkan situation has caused some
financial strain abroad and part of the
heavy European gold requirements
have been shifted to this side. This,
in connection with the demands oc-
casioned by our increasing domestic
trade, has impaired a slightly frmer
tone to the market.
The open winter, while somewhat
unfavorable to retail trade, has at
forded a stimulus to various branches
OF industry. Building and allied lines,
for example. have been generally &C
active and the unusual weather has
added materially to the already large
traffic of the railroads, whose gross
earnings during four xvooLo ~ Tor,
airy increased 1879 per cent. Notwith-
standing the strike in the clothing in
dustry the important textile trades are
prosperous.
Recent snow has improved winter
wheat conditions. The record of for
eign commerce continues to be one OF
the striking features of the business

Dispatches concerning other quota
tions, conditions and phases are as

S6.65Qs; lambs, native, $7@925;
western, $7Q9.25.
Wheat-The sharp slump in the
prices of wheat has been the occasion
for surprise among holders who re-
fused to sell on the recent bulge.
Growers who sold readily at the first
up-turn of the market became impued
with the belief that sustained and
appreciable advance was in prospect,
and withheld offerings around the
top. but this did not prevent a de-
cided reaction, once the support i'm
parted by the entry of the mills for
acquiring stocks for the last half of
the season had been withdrawn. Dur
ing the week prices have gone off
&C for Bluestem, which is quoting
down to 94c, with club at s5c, and
there is practically no business of mo-
ment In progress or prospect. The
subsistence of the demands for export
flour, together with the fact that man
ufacturers are now practically up to
their warehouse space in holdings Of
wheat, renders it probable that there
will be little call from the millers for
a considerable period, and beyond the
drlbbling business passing all the time
for California, there are transactions
OF consequence. Europe has been
minus factor for considerable period,
and Japan is now able to satisfy it's
wants more economically from Aus
tralia than from this country.
With the subsistence in purchases.
there is falling off in receipts at
tidewater, the aggregate coming to
hand locally for the week amounting
since the first of the month, being rep
resentative, however, at 80 cars. with
January receipts totalling 1888 cars.
Flour-The situation on export &C
count has quieted down to a marked
degree. With the advance in quota
lions incident to the higher prices for
wheat, Washington millers have been
forced into competition with cheaper
flour from Australia, and are booking
very little new business, though most
manufacturers have orders on hand to
keep them employed for some time to
come. Regular export quotations are
1878 less 2. while patents are holding
steady.
Feed-There has been no changes
during the week. in the market for
feedstuffs. Hay is ruling comparative
ly firm at former figures. Oats main
tain the advance to $4,000, with bar
ley at $24@25. Feed wheat Is easier,
but has shown no reaction from 500

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT,
Provisions.

| Butter-Quotations are ruling firm
and there are no indications of q
change for some time to come. There
Is shortage in local supplies and
most of the goods handled is shipped
in from the east.
Eggs-Quotations on local ranch
eggs remain unchanged with the mar.
ket firm. If the present cold weather
changes the probability is that there
will be break in the market East
ern storage eggs have advanced a
trifie on account of the cold weather
in that section at present.
POultry-No change has occurred in
the quotations of this department
The market, however, is weak, as con-
siderable stock is now being brought
in. Dealers say that as soon as the
present cold weather abates there will
be drop in prices on chickens. Quo
tations on ducks and geese remain
steady.
Fresh Meats-In this department
the only change in quotations has
been in the price of mutton, which
has advanced to II cents. mere is
still a very noticeable shortage of beef
and quotations are holding firm. Nut
ton and pork are very strong. This
Is due to the high price of beef, which
induces consumers to use more of the
cheaper meat. At present there are
very few beef cattle brought to mar
ket, as the long drive to railroads in
the cold and snow would cause consid-
cradle shrinkage.
Hides and wool-Quotations are
quite weak. Wool has been weaken
ing for the last three weeks and the
present quotations are somewhat low
er than those of last week. This is
due principally to prospects Of tariff
reduction.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Approximations and business
conditions remain unchanged. The de-
mand Is very small and prices weak.
Reports from New York state that the
apple market was in fairly good con.
dition. Receipts were about equal to
the demand and there was little
change In prices.
Other Fruits-Quotations on other
fruits remain unchanged with the mar
ket steady and business in general
Enthusiastically there is practical
ly no activity in this department Bust
ness is confined principally to a few
small sales by peddlers. Before long,
however, seed potatoes will begin to
move and then the market will take
on better tone. In the east there is
good movement of seed DO.
tatoes and conditions are improving.
Tomatoes-Prices on tomatoes have
taken a radical drop and are now
ruling at $1.75. This is due to the
fact that most tomatoes are now being
sent in by freight along with other
vegetables, whereas formerly they
were sent in by express.
Celery-There has been a slight de-
cline in the market during the past
week. The stock on the market now
is quite small, consequently the same
prices can not be expected.
Other Vegetables-No change is re-
ported In quotations on other vegeta-
