sPoKANE's MARKET REPORT

FiONtoionos
Butter-The market is still very
strong and advances are looked for
with a good volume of trade during
the week, although there has been no
advance in price during the past two
weeks, the quotations still being 35c
to SIC for local creameries, 35c and
sec on eastern and Csc to csc for To-
cal ranch. At New York fancy cream
cry is very scarce and price firm at
very wide range in quotations, under
grade creamery rather slow and hard
to move. At Chicago fine creamery
advanced in price and cheaper grades
slow.
Eggs-With the supply somewhat
more plentiful and the eastern mar
kets showing a tendency for western
stocks, the quotations are easier this
week. Local ranch, price to the pro-
ducers, $11@12; local ranch, whole
sale, $12@13.5O, and eastern fresh,
$11@12. At New York the dip of last
week was followed by a firmness, the
receipts of fresh gathered being more
liberal but with only a fair movement,
refrigerators firm and foreign draggy
and off quality. At Chicago trade was
not active and the demand decreased
causing an unstable market with val
ues fluctuating easily.
Poultry-The demand for Christmas
stocks has had buoyant effect on the
poultry market with the demand good
more especially in geese, and as a re-
suit prices are a little firmer. Live
weight to the producers, on chickens
the quotation is lie and 12c against
lie last week; turkeys are also up
from 1Sc to 18@19c. Dressed geese
and turkeys at wholesale are Ice and
&c from 15c and Csc.
Fresh Meats-There has been nc
change in prices in this division dur
ing the past week, but supplies are
ample for all demands, with a good
volume of trade.
Lard and Cured Meats-Lard re
mains firm at the former prices quot
ed and eastern B. r. shoulders and
medium hams are off 15c at 1870 and
1s1sc, while dry salt sides declined
1c at 1870.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-There has been no change
in price locally in wholesale apples
during the past week. At New York
the market was poor and stocks un
degrade in box with receipts liberal
and demand good, although the quail
ity was 25 per cent off from former
receipts. At Chicago cold weather
caused an active movement with all
cold storage stocks held firmly al
same price, but common cold storage
has weaker feeling.

$3.50 at $7Qs, and same choice down
So at S7Q7.50, due to increased re
ceipts and liberal movement.

in kegs, which are now quoted at 81
a decline of soc.
Potatoes--Irish murpheys took a
slight tumble locally this week, broad
ening the range in price from S1.10@
1.25 to $1@1.25. At New York the inn
portation of $4,000 bags of inferior
and diseased stocks hurt the distrib
utive trade. At Chicago the situation
has a good feeling with outside trade
not improved and conditions draggy
supply limited but has had no effect
on the price.
