SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

Probably the most notable develop
ment during the past week was the
report of the department of agricul-
ture which stated that if conditions
from now on are favorable, the wheat
crop this year will probably reach the
record proportions of the wheat har-
vest of 1901. The largest acreage
ever planted and favorable growing
conditions account for the prospect of
an abundant yield.
Sheep shearing in many sections is
now practically over and although it
is feared that the clip this season will
not be so great as the usual amount,
the grade is exceptionally fine, the
cold winter having induced splendid
growth.
The mining and the numbering in
dustries continue well up to standard.
Reports come daily from the principal
mining regions of new properties be-
ing developed and operations on old
ones being resumed. Although the re-
tail trade in lumber throughout the
Pacific Northwest is poor, the demand
from the East and from Canada for
lumber in wholesale quantities is ex-
cement.
The high water in most of the
streams has now receded so far that
many mills that formerly were unable
to operate are now running full blast.
Provisions.
Butter-The cream supply is keep
ing up heavier this season than in any
former year. This accounts for the
fact that there has been no advance
in prices at the present time. At Chi.
cago the market is top heavy. Ar.
rivals are steady and buying slow.
Cheese-Cheese is still showing a
little advance in the East, but it is
doubtful whether it can be maintained
or not. Local quotations are firm, but
it is not probable that there will be
any advance in prices.
Eggs-Quotations on eggs are weak
as production has taken on new life
the supplies of last week being as
heavy as that of any other time during
the season. The quality, however, is
very poor and there Is much objection
to placing them in storage. At Chi
cago there was decline in prices. A
further drop is predicted.
Poultry-No change is noted in con
ditions this week. Hens and roosters
are plentiful, but the supply of spring
chickens is quite limited.
Fresh Meats-The supplies Of hogs
and sheep are now very plentiful ant
dealers predict decline before long
Veal is also quite plentiful, but the
probability is that prices will remain
stationary. Beef continues exception
Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1913-06-26
Wienerwurst has ad-

ally scarce. Wienerwurst has ad
vanced to 12c.
Lard and Cured Meats-The only
change in the situation has been
slight decline in local breakfast ba-
con.
Hides and Wool-NothinC new has
developed in this department. Prac-
tically all lines of goods are weak in
sympathy with the tariff tinkering.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-This commodity is now
practically off the market. So much
fresh spring fruit is now to be OBJ
tanned that consumers no longer de-
mand apples. At New York and Chi
cago conditions are practically IN
changed
Oranges-Although quotations are
unchanged the market is strong.
Quality is poor and business dull.
Cherries - Pie cherries declined
slightly during the week and are now
quoted at $1.5O@$1.25. Further reduc
lions can be expected next week.
Other Fruits-Other fruits remain
unchanged with weakness in practi
cally all spring produce.
Potatoes-Local conditions show nc
interest. At Chicago another SLUMP
followed the severe one Of last weel
and quotations are so low as 35c. Re
ceipts were of record proportions.
Peas-California peas are now of
the market, but Oregon peas are il
and selling at &c per pound.
Other getables-Bermuda onion
have declined to $1.50@1.85, new Cali
fornia cabbage to &c and bunch beet
to 35@40c. Other conditions are un
changed.

and calves, $500.
The hog trade held strong until
Friday. Receipts have been very lib
eral and the market is from sc to 10c
lower. Best light swine steady at
$40.
There is a fair demand for fat NUT
ton, which is very scarce. The bulk
of receipts contained nothing but poor
sheep and lambs, which are slow to
move Yearlings are quoted at $3.50
@5.75; two-year-olds, $3.50; ewes,
