SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.
Provisions.

FTOEIStOHS.
Butter-The local market is very
firm, as this is between the two milk
ing seasons of the year and receipts
are very light. The stock, too, is of
a somewhat inferior grade, as pro-
ducers have but small quantities and
make shipments less frequently. In
New York the market is good, having
recovered from the weakness of last
week. At Chicago the trade is quieter
and quotations lower.
Eggs-A bountiful supply of local
eggs is now coming in which are rap
idly forcing quotations down. Prices
to the producer at present are six dol
lars per case, but the probability is
that within another week they will be
down to $3.50 per case. No eggs are
being shipped in now, as the local
supply is ample to take care of the
demand. At Chicago, cold weather is
holding prices steady. There is an
active demand. At New York quota
tons are higher.
Poultry The poultry situation
shows no change; supplies Of chick
ems continue normal, while the de-
mand is of a satisfactory nature.
Fresh Meats-No change is noted
in quotations and the market con
tinues firm. The shortage on beef cat.
tie continues very evident. In some
sections of the country there is prac.
tically no cattle being fed for the
spring market, and from those sec
lions no stock will be available until
after the grass season is over. AL
though there is a good supply of NUT
l ton, quotations continue firm on &C
count of increased consumption due
: to the high price of beef. A shortage
of hogs, also, is being felt all over the
country.
Lard and Cured Meats-The only
change in this department has been
, slight advance in lard, both local anC
F.. eastern. Quotations are firm in sym
pathy with the shortage of hogs
= Prices on all cured meats are also
holding strong, with little prospect O.
a change.
Hides and Wool-The tariff agita
ton has caused wool to take anothe,
slight decline this week. Quotations
on hides are also unsteady. The de
o mand is easy.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Alphabetically the situation show
little change; the city demand is be
r. ing satisfied mostly by farmers. Their
o is a very little prospect of a chang
y for some time to come. Reports fror
New York state that although quota
lions r unchanged, there is a slight
ly better tone to the market and col
o. ditionS are more favorable.
q O4l.-.. u1-.:k. yTvs4l 49, ,o~-&;~,
of a slight advance in pineapples quo
tations on other fruits remain III
h changed with the market in genera
steady, and a satisfactory amount c
. business being done.
Potatoes-The market is shown
no signs of improvement. A fe'
small consignments of seed potatoe
have been shipped, but outside of ths
- there is practically no movement
Commission men are quoting potatoe
at 40 cents, but a real price cannt
III be said to exist. Advices from Oh
TX cage state that quotations are stead,
at receipts light and the demand mode
lie ate.
is Celery-Quotations hae taken a
advance; this is due to the fact thu
70 consignments that are now coming
are sent by express.
:" Other Vegetables-With the exec
e ton of a slight advance in head lie
IL tuce other quotations remain u
re changed, with the demand normal.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
n. Although quotations on wheat hay
ID taken another advance during the pa
- week, farmers are selling very reluc
antly and the movement is very Sigh
1t is estimated that only about s or
ne per cent of the crop is left in the i
i'll terror, there is, consequently, very Ii
tie chance of a decline before ne,
season. AS a general thing, mo-
grain than is now in the hands of tt
farmers is held over till the follo'
ing season. No new orders are b
NJ ing booked at the coast for expol
ill and what shipping is being done
IS, confined to filling orders that ha1
a been received during the past month
m Flour-The flour market is qui
strong in sympathy with wheat. Mi
:. ers are complaining that quotation
are too low in comparison with tt
= price of wheat. Export business is
a restricted nature.
d. Feed-Quotations on bran al
Dr. shorts are quite strong in sympatl
Id with wheat. Barley is weak and tt
IS demand is very poor, while oats a
'st steady with a normal demand. The
is a good supply of the inferior qu'
Dr. ity of hay, but the best grades a
all carce and quotations firm.
