sPoKANE's MARKET REPORT

Retail business and the develop
ments along this line are of season
able lines, though there is still some
element of hating in the general
movement and distribution and in
productive channels. Business and |
industry are awaiting the impulse
which will impart stimulus to de-
mands The underlying conditions
are propitious, but there are too many
questions involving the readjustment
of new conditions which have not been
fully disposed of. The railroads, as
for some time, continue the principal
deterrent to enlarged manufacturing
operations. Their position of with
holding from the market for construc-
ton material and equipment has occa-
stoned depression in the iron and
steel as well as the lumber market,
and until the settlement of the issues
between them and the interstate COM
merce commission it is practically GER
tain that this policy Will maintain.
In the meantime conditions in other
directions hold very suspicious. The
advancing season brings additional as
surance of record-breaAng crops, in
which the Inland Empire will I'M
doubtedly figure very prominently.
Every advice that comes from the
cereal-producing sections of the state
sustain advance predictions Of a
bumper harvest.

noted in the following articles: Adj
