General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: There is fur
Their abatement of the tension in finan-
cial circles, although money continues
very firm and new business is still
closely restricted to urgent needs. The
disorganization OF foreign exchange is
slightly less marked, and international
banking arrangements slowly but
gradually improving. Efforts to re-
store more normal transportation IA
cilities with foreign markets are meet
ing with gratifying success. Ship
ments Of grain abroad are becoming
more extensive and buying for foreign
account continues heavy. The higher
prices Induced by these purchases
cause considerable expansion in Of
ferings Of wheat from the country and
these sales abroad will hasten q re-
turn to more normal conditions in in
ternational exchange. Considerable
irregularity Is manifest in reports
from the leading mercantile and in
dustrial centers, but in view OF exist
ing conditions the movement of com.
modities is quite well maintained.
Failures for the week in the Unit
ed States were 364, compared with 205
last year; in Canada, IS, compared
with 10 last year."

Washington.-War revenue legisla
ton faces a fight within the demo
cratic ranks this week that may rival
in intensity the struggle over the re
peal of the Panama canal toll exemp
ton for American ships.
Revolt against the proposed 3 pei
cent tax on freight transportation
charges which developed such proper
lions last week that administration
leaders decided to await the return OF
the president before introducing the
revenue bill, continues to grow in
strength, and party caucus is de
manded by democratic members of the
house on the subject.
Majority Leader Underwood, who
withheld the revenue bill which would
tax beer, wines and freight bill, plans
to see Pres. Wilson early this week.
and to ask his open espousal of the
proposed freight tax. Mr.. Underwood
will explain to the president that there
is considerably opposition to the plan
within the party. and that opponents
of the measure want to substitute q
larger tax on beer, a tax on whiskey
and distilled liquors, which was not
contemplated in the ways and means
committee bill, and, perhaps, STAMP
and Inheritance taxes.

London, Sept, 14.-The sixth week
OF the war has brought vast trans.

man armies through Belgium into
France met an unexpected force at the
Marine river. The army of General

British army turned the tide of battle
Today, If the French official reports
are correct. all the German armies ex.
cept that facing Verdun and few
miles southwest are retreating. Gen.
eral Won Kluck's army, which a week
ago was few miles to the southeast
OF Paris, has retired more than 60
miles to the northeast, while on the
extreme right the army Of the Bava-
rian crown prince. which was attack

Reversal Of Army Roles.
Sunday, Sept. 6, was the darkest day
of the war for the allies The French
government emigrated from Paris to
Bordeaux in a long, sad procession of
motor cars. An attack upon the cap
ital appeared imminent and the main
German force had hammered huge
wedge into France between Paris and
Verdun, with it's center some miles
south Of that line.
The French people trembled with
the question whether their army was
not beaten army; whether the his
tory of 1870 would repeat itself.
The battle of the Marine which was
decided in week, is regarded by
military critics as the most marvellous
reversal of roles of two armies known

GERMANS FALL BACK
UNABLE TO STAND TERRIBLE ON.
SLAUGHTS OF ALLIED TROOPS
NEAR PARIS.
RIGHT WING PROVED WEAK
After Weeks Fierce Fighting They
Give Territory All Along the Line
Stop Firing at verdun Forts.
Mountainous Country Helps.

London. Sept. ia dispatch to Reu
ter's Telegram company from Paris
gives the following official statement
"The Germans still are retreatine
before the allies left wing and are al
so retiring in the center and before
the French right wing.
THE French have reoccupied the
city of Luneville, department of Meur-
the ct Moselle.'
The German armies, which a week
ago today commenced a series of VIC
lent attempts to break through the
French center, have found their eff
forts futile, and, evacuating Vitry-le.
Francois, which was the pivot of their
offensive and where they had forti-
fled already strong natural positions
have retired northward.
This retirement was made impera-
tive by the continued retreat Of the
German right wing, which now is
somewhere northwest of Rheims, and
the defeat of an army corps which
was operating just east of Vitry-le-
Francois, around Revigny and Ser
maize, and which in its hurry to join
the retirement left a quantity of war
material behind.
The Germans in the Argonne district
likewise have begun to fall back, so
that the pressure on the forts to the
southwest Of Verdun, which a Berlin
report said the Germans have COM
menced to lombard, should be reliev-
ed.
In Lorraine, too, the French claim
to have won further successes and to
have been enabled to straighten out
their line along that frontier. They
have occupied the territory east of
the forest of Champenou~ Gerberville,
Resainviller and Saint Die, thus get
ting in closer touch with their troops
which, since the early days of the
war, have held a bit of German ter
ritory in front of Colmar.
Apparently the Germans, who sent
the best of their army further west
to take part in the advance on Paris,
have found the mountains of Moselle
and Vosges, where the French were in
strong positions, too hard a nut to
crack.

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

Varying reports continue character

situation. While the volume of trade
locally is holding at about seasonable
dimensions, the tendency toward hest
fancy that prevails in the matter OF
prices and supplies, together with the
higher rates for money on commercial
paper, all tend to hold the situation
from making any pronounced develop
ments of a favorable character. Rela
lively speaking, the most favorable
conditions prevail in agricultural com
munities. With bumper wheat crop

posed of enough of their grain to Gov
