Worry May Cause Death.

Medical science has recently ex-

that in many instances of what have

has simply been one of acute worry.

Arabia's Great Desert.

In Arabia 1t seems that there is

nearly five times as large as Great

Wheat-The situation continues one
of comparative quiet, and, in the alb
sence of any business of consequence
on export account, there has been an
easing off in quotations of nominal mo-
ment. At the moment Liverpool is a
trife frmer, based upon reports of
damage in the Argentine, due to exces-
sive rains, but the character of such
fluctuations are so indefinite, as has
been evidenced in the speculative
course of values under crop develop
ments at home, that very little influ-
ence has been exerted in changing val
ues, though the substantiation of re-
ports of deterioration would undoubt-
eddy prove of moment in the future.
There have been no sales of conse-
quence during the past week or two.

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.
Provisions


Butter-The local creamery products
market is out of sympathy with the
eastern market, and it is expected that
if the high eastern prices continue to
prevail the local quotations will also
rise. At present, although the market
is very firm, there are no changes. At
Chicago receipts of butter are showing
a decrease of about 10000 pounds per
week as compared with those of year
ago. The advance of y cent at New
York last week is being firmly held
this week.
Cheese-Eastern cheese offerings in
this market have dropped one cent, but
other quotations remain firm, with pros
poets of an advance on account of
scarcity of milk all over the United
| States.
Eggs-The local egg market is weak,
with quotations the same as those of
last week. At Chicago warm weather
was responsible for lack of activity.
At new York there is falling off Of
receipts, which tends toward strength
ening the market.
Poultry-There is a good local sup
ply of ducks, geese and chickens, while
with turkeys the supply is somewhat
limited and considerable quantities of
eastern storage turkeys are being
shipped in. The poultry demand in gen
eral is good, and the prices firm, with a
onecent advance on turkeys and a
slight advance on ducks and geese.
Fresh Meats-The only change over
the previous week is a rise of 1 cent
on headcheese and a drop of so cents
on live hogs, heavy. The demand is
good and the supply somewhat limited
Lard and Cured Meats-Prices con
tinue to remain on the same level with
the exception of a decline of y cent
on local canned salt sides and rise
of y cent on eastern smoked shoulders
There is still considerable shortage OF
regular hams all averages, and OF
fancy bacon. Local business shows con
siderable improvement over a montf
ago.
Hides and Wool-There have been nj
changes in the quotations this week
The demand is fair and the market
firm

Fruits and Vegetables.

Apples-There is very little change
in the local apple market from the sit
uation last week Conditions in gen
eral are quiet and the demand is poor,
while the supply is excessive. At Chi
cago the tone is somewhat better,
though no material changes have taken
place. At New York, also, the apple
market is slow. The fanciest of prac-
tically all varieties are selling well
but there is considerable poor stock
on hand, which tends to hold the mar
ket down.
GrapesAThese are practically Off the
market. There are few Washington
tokays left, and a few California
grapes, which have gone up to $1.65.
Oranges-Valencias are off the mar
ket, but new navel oranges are in, sell
ing at $500 to $500.
Other Fruits-Quotations on other
fruits are the same as those of last
week, with the business in general fair
Potatoes-There are no changes re
ported in local market conditions, and
the price is steady at 60 cents. All
Chicago prices are maintained at about
the same level as last week, on ac
count of the car shortage that has pre-
vailed for the past fortnight. At New
York the prices have taken JUMP
and are fully ~ to 15c per bushe
higher than last week. With the ad
vance a good active trade prevails
and the movement in the yards was
very satisfactory.
Other egetables-Head lettuce has
Jumped from 40c to S5c, and caull
flower has dropped from $500 PEI
dozen to $3.50 Other prices in gen
eral show few new developments.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-The market has weakened
somewhat under local and general con
dltions. The mills are all supplied
and the farmers are not inclined tt
sell, consequently there is very httl'
activity in the wheat business. TIT
car shortage has also had its effec
upon the market, and very little whea
is going forward. Red Russian an'
club have dropped p cent, and blue
stem has dropped a cent.
Flour-There is very little chang
from the situation of last week, ant
the market in general is sluggish. Ac
cording to reports from the coast ney
business is not being placed in any con
siderable volume, the condition benz
depressed by the holding off of buy
ers and the fact that deliveries ar
hard to guarantee under present trans
portation conditions. Quotations shoV
no change from last week.
Feed-The market is not up t
standard, on account of the suppl.
being greater than the demand. Farm
ers are moving their produce quit
freely and holding very little back
while most of the consumers are quit
well supplied. Feed wheat and ais
oats have fallen to $4,000 per ton
No radical change in the market

Richie Lavish With Fight Dates
Tommy Murphy Latest.

Ii Whine fLlCCQl6 continues 10 ndhe
newspaper fights" he will be like the
guy who was ordered by the doctor
to take one after every meal. Willie
may even have to go farther than
that and take one before every meal
also.
The latest report is that Richie
has opened negotiations for twenty
round fight with Harlem Tommy
Murphy Thanksgiving Day. Richie
has accepted a promoters offer of
$4,000 to sign for the scrap.
Previously Willie was supposed to
be dickering for fights with Charlie
White in Milwaukee, Johnny Dundee
in Milwaukee and New York and
Leach Cross in New York. Filling
four engagements in less than two
months is not on a champions cal
endar.
The White and Dundee bouts have
little chance of being pulled off. Rit-
chic will leave for New York next
week, where he expects to meet Cross
Oct. 81. The go there, with the train
ing he will get after returning to the
coast, should put him on edge for
Murphy.
He'll need to be right for the Har-
lem person. Murphy has been carv-
ing out a name for himself on the
coast and is the legitimate challenger
for Ritchie's crown. And he will have
a lot of, wise money on him if he
gets Richie in ring. Murphy is an
old hand, clever, game and packs a
punch. He has been trying for thir-
teen years to use it in championship
encounter.
