sPoKANE's MARKET REPORT

look to the crop situation, the low
temperatures of the past week seem
lngly having had no i'll effects. In the
covering of rich deposits at Chewelah
and elsewhere together with favor
able reports of increased dividends by
producing properties, gives an opti-
mistic feeling.
In the merchandise field trade was
somewhat retarded over portion of
the eastern sections owing to weather
conditions of an unfavorable nature.
Locally trade has been of a satisfac-
tory nature.

the following articles: Advances

bage, carrots, rhubarb, asparagus,
wheat and chickens.

in the local market as to prices dur.
ing the week, but the situation is
characterized as weak and reduc-
ton is forecasted for the first of next
week in sympathy with coast prices.

the same quotations of the past two
weeks with receipts coming to hand
in about the proportions as last week.
Poultry-Chickens are off 1Rc, both
live weight and dressed, while all

Dressed Meats-There has been no
change in the general aspect OF the
meat business over a week ago, al
though the prices on some cuts in the

per box, rhubarb &c per h., and as
paragus &c to Sc.
Wheat-Bluestem is off 1c this
week, the figure being s3hc against
s4Rc last week, while club and rec
Russian remain at the same quotation
as last week. Locally there is moi
much doing in the way of movement
Stocks in growers hands are not be
ing depleted very rapidly, as sales are
slow and many of them are realizing
that probably they have held too long
There is not much demand from the
milling trade as all of them seem to
have stocks for all requirements, il
even being reported that some of then
are selling their surplus stocks, find
ing more money in that business, ow
ing to the poor flour trade. Some
wheat is still going to japan and Cal
ifornia. 1t is predicted that there will
be very little wheat to go into the new
season and that the carry over will be
the smallest in years. In the adjust
ment of the market to the brilliant
crop prospects 1t is probable that thu
outlook will be discounted somewhat
