sPOkANE'S MARKET REPORT
The undertone of confidence, based
upon the strong financial position re-
f1ected by call statements issued by
the banks during the week, the fact
that money is becoming freer and that
the avenues of employment are abb
sorbing a larger percentage of labor,
is becoming more pronounced. There
is an evident purpose on the part of
merchants, manufacturers and the
public to accept the situation present
ed by the PRONUNCIATION of new regu-
lations for the conduct of business
with equanimity, making the best eff
fort possible to magnify the benefits
accorded and minimize the drawbacks
presented that is a material help to
the situation, and augurs we'll for re-
animation, under the impulse of the
record crop movement of the country.
Fall prospects are Frightening, while
many concerns indicate a highly IA
vorable showing for the period of mid
summer dullness.

Butter-The local butter market

Eggs-The egg situation locally so
far as the wholesale price is con-
cerned is stronger, the figures being
$7.50@s per case. The price to the
producers remains at s6@6.5o per case
and the wide margin in the quotations
is accounted for by the fact that at
| this time of the year 1t is almost i'm
possible to get stocks to market with
out some decay, therefore the buying
price of the jobbers is governed en-
tirely on quality. No matter how
careful the producers may be in gath
ering the eggs, when put through the
Gambling process defects will appear.
