sPoKANE's MARKET LETTER

state that agricultural conditions
never looked more encouraging, and
predictions are for bumper crops this
year. The past cool, cloudy weather
has caused the grain to become well
set, roofing deeply, and making a good
foundation to build on during the
coming warm weather.
In the Industrial fields no marked
changes are evident. AS the milling
season Is now about over, quite a
number of mills have shut down and
are making repairs and preparations
for handling the new crop. Other
mills are running on limited time.
In the lumber industry there seems |
to be slight depression and manu- !
facturers are not getting orders as
briskly as in the earlier part Of the
season, although all the mills are still
running steadily and activity Is above
normal.
Provisions.
Butter-Local quotations remain IN
changed and will probably be station
airy for some time to come. Business
is excellent. The local make is very
heavy, but the demand Is brisk and
fully equal to the supply. At Chicago
Lut Qcuduu Wd6 dCtlfO dAA PAiSCo
firm. At New York the market was
firm and receipts light.
Eggs-Prices advanced during the
week. Quotations to the producer
now stand at $500. Receipts are
shrinking, as the heavy laying season
is about over.
Poultry-Due to heavy receipts,
prices on chickens and roosters took a
decline of cents this week. The lib
eral receipts are probably due to the
heavy laying season being now over.
, Fresh Meats-Receipts of sheep are
now quite liberal. The first shipment
of lambs arrived at the local packing
plants yesterday and quotations have
declined. Spring lamb is now quoted
at Is cents. The supply of hogs is
now more plentiful, but prices are I'M
changed. Beef remains very scarce
and prices continue strong.
I Lard and Cured Neutrality-suspicious.

( Hides and Wool-Quotations on

III 771ac for Red Russian sacked, 1914
for Club sacked, and ss11c for Blu,
IN stem sacked. The movement from tn
ne interior Is slow and no one in th
ar trade seems anxious to buy. The Gro
IN in the interior is about cleaned out,
an being estimated that not more tina

We ing the past few weeks have furnishe

Ill Flour-The market is firm in syr
sst pathy with the steady advance

ats Feed-Although no change is note
ny in quotations In this department, Il
lQ market is quite firm on all kinds
all feed. Wheat hay is practically on Il
zen market and the tendency of timotl
nd Is to advance.
