was quiet. The return to mild wealth
err resulted in checking the demand
and the presence Of inferior fruit ON
the market had a weakening effect.
The offerings of apples this week
and the lower prices of last week con-
tinued, causing an over supply. The
offerings showed very little fancy
fruit Of any variety.
Other Fruits-California lemons.
both fancy and choice, show little
wider range In quotations this week,
the figures being $4.5005 for the for
mer and $4@4.5o for the latter. 9th
erwise there has been no change in
the fruit division.
Potatoes-Irish spuds show q fur
Their decline in the local market this
week. sthe range in price being soc to
75c, with very little movement. At
Chicago the seed potato situation
showed some strengthening and val

but the table supply showed draggy

Other Vegetables California cab
bage has taken little wider range in
quotation, the figures being $3.50
$50. California celery is becoming
scarce and is up to 81. while spinach
is more plentiful and has dropped
from 9Oc to use. Hothouse cucumbers

Some poor wheat Is held in the In

STOCK AND CROP NOTES.


Reports state that there are but TO-
600 boxes Of apples held in storage In
western Washington, as compared
with 10000 boxes year ago, and the
position of the market Is indicative OF
cumulative strength.
Whitman county farmers state that
the prospects for bumper yield of
wheat throughout the Palouse country
the present season are the best that
ever obtained at this season OF the
year. There has been a minimum OF
winter killing, and the stand is the
most even in the history of grain
growing in this famous section. The
ground is in fine condition for spring
seeding, though the bulk of the crop
was fall sown.
A forecast of the probable wheat
yield of the Pacific northwest, based
upon returns from Washington, Ore
gon and Idaho, showing acreage OF
winter and spring grain, and the pre-
vafling conditions in growing sections.
places the aggregate at 100000
bushels, with farm value of approx
mately $60,000,00O. The largest out.
turn returned, according to CONNER
cial estimates from the three states
was 65,0O0,000 bushels, though these
figures are well below the returns
made by the department Of agricul.
ture, while last seasons yield Is stat
ed at 56,0O0,000 bushels. The winter
wheat crop is estimated at 50,000,00C
bushels, with a prospective yield Of
20,O00.000 bushels of spring wheat.

Exploiting Pure Food Laws.

Ever since the national pure rood
law became operative there began to
spring up innumerable claimants for
the honor of it's inception, and for Sc
curing its enactment. There also
came into existence SO called expert
advisers and an army of exploiters,
including periodicals of all sorts.
Dairy and food commissioners have
fed their ambition for power and no.
toriety. Blackmailers galore seem to
flourish. Food decisions and notices
of judgment have been made their
tool to disparage competitive products
or discredit food preparations of un-
doubted merit, endorsed by consum-
ers the world around for scores of
years. says American Grocer.
Exploiters go about with brass
bands to further the cause through
food expositions. Others use the press
in a sensational way to alarm the peo-
Pile, taking exceptional and sporadic
cases Of adulteration, contamination,
sophistication as basis to discredit
entire industries. The exception is
made the rule.
We regret that rival manufacturers
exploit food decisions to create dis

Recently, condensed soups were at.
tackled by state food department on
the basis of imperfect and unscientific
so-called chemical analyses the results
of which might very well be interpre
ted differently. Probably every ma
ker of any sort Of soup uses form

great food exposition two experts test
ed half a dozen or more brands Of
mock turtle soup and no two of them
tasted alike and any one Of them
might as well have been called by
some other name. No two brands Of
any soup are alike and ought not tt
be If competition and merit are to gov
ern markets backed by the initiative
and experience of manufacturers.
1t is folly to judge various makes o.

main question is whether the food II

The only remedy for food manufac
turers is to guard against being vic

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: "Betterment IN
current distributive trade at the west
and excellent advices as to winter
wheat sharply contrast with a less
satisfactory situation in iron and steel
and uncertainty caused by state OF
national governmental activities
which tend to becloud the future and
hamper enterprise, manufacturing as
well as financial
ION the one hand the economic sit
uation is confronted by the beneficent
influences of nature; while on the
other hand, 1t is hampered by the
moods OF legislative forces. The rail-
roads do not see their way clear to
buy rails while advances in rates are
withheld and at the same time blum
inous coal operators are facing I'M
certainty regarding wage scales which
expire April /.
Bank clearings, $3,253, 100000, a
decrease of per cent from last year"
Dun's Review says: "This is the
between seasons period in various
branches Of trade and significant
changes in the business situation are
lacking. Broadly considered, condi-
lions are quiet, although indications
of progress are not wholly absent.
There is no uniform trend toward i'm
provement.
Expectations that the approach Of
spring would be accompanied by re-
vival in iron and steel have been real
lied and enlarged buying will soon be
necessary to prevent curtailment Of
operations.
I'm view of the fact that the pros.
perity of the country depends largely
upon crops 1t is gratifying that the
outlook for winter wheat leaves little
to be desired. Exports Of breadstuffs
last month were worth less than in
the same period year ago, but this
discrepancy was more than Offset by
the increase in cotton.

commodity prices was again in evi
