GERMANS PUT UP STUBBORN DE-
TENSE IN ENVIRONMENTS
SURROUNDED BY WIRES,
TRAINS RETURN WITH INJURED
Siege Warfare in Belgium Where
Every Small Advance Results in
Heavy Loss-AIIies' Fleet Guns
Play Havoc with Germans.

London, Dec. 20.--The offensive op-
erations of the allies in the west are
being carried out under conditions of
siege warfare and are being stubborn
ly opposed by the Germans, who. in
their entertainments and surrounded
by wire entanglements, make an ad-
vance of even few yards a costly
matter for the attacking forces.
In Flanders a little ground has been
gained at considerable cost, despite
the fact that along the coast the allies
have the assistance of warships which
continually lombard the German posi-
tions. The advance has been more
marked from the Belgian border south
to the River Disc, where the ground
is not wet as are the flooded regions
of Flanders.
Along the Aisne and in the Cham
payne district the French artillery,
which now is probably stronger than
the Germans, has been busy keeping
the Germans on the move, but in the
Argonne region it is the Germans who
are on the offensive and they claim to
have made slight advance.
A dispatch from Amsterdam says
the Germans have evacuated Dix
nude, but the report that the allies
have taken Middelkerke is untrue
Fleet Is Active.
dispatch says violent fighting is
occurring on the User. A fleets guns
are playing havoc in the German
ranks. Trains filled with wounded
are entering Bruges. Most of these
trains proceed eastward. The allies
have not occupied Roulers, but the
fighting is raging between there and
Ypres and Dixmude.
Troops Suffer From Cold.
Troops from the tropics are suffer
ing intensely from the cold in their
positions in the Belgian trenches This
is especially true Of the Senegalese.
In many cases their toes or feet have
been frozen SO badly that amputations
have been necessary.

ders. An anticipated demand for fab
RIGS early in the coming year is given
as the reason for the increase in pro-
duction.

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

Butter-The wholesale price on near
ly all local creamery butter was de-
| clined &c this morning, making the
range in values a3038c.
Eggs-There has been no change in
the local egg market within the inter-
val as to prices, but the receipts of To-
cal fresh remain very limited.
Dressed Meats-Trade has been
quiet during the week and prices re-
main about the same as last report
and plenty OF stuff coming to hand.
The only change in prices OF note is
in hogs, the figures being $6.50@7.25
for light and $6@6.50 for heavy.
Lard and Cured Meats-Local lard
is up to 1890 again and dry salt sides
are off half cent to 121Ac. No other
changes are noted and trade has been
OF rather quiet order.
Apples-There has been no change
in the local apple market within the
week as to values.
Potatoes-There is nothing new in
the local spud situation, the market
still remaining In rather draggy con-
dition. But the cold weather has had
tendency to curtail the movement
to some extent.
Other Vegetables-Stocks In this de-
partment are ample for requirements
and there has been no changes as to
prices.
The wheat markets were generally
firm during the week and advanced ir-
regularly, closing at top prices on the
week. Wheat is firm because of the
foreign demand and large clearances.
II buying were heavy, our prices
would be much higher, but holders
want more money and are not selling
freely. The only important change in
the general situation in the last ten
days has been noticeable reduction
in the receipts and a tendency toward
decreases of our stocks. Statistically
the position of wheat is getting strong
er. There is reason to believe that it
will continue to grow stronger If the
present war conditions continue.
Prices at the moment are bluestem
Sl.09h, club $1.071s and red Russian
$1.01.
Flour-Flour trade is fair, there be-
ing less business in some lines and
more in others, but on the whole less
is being done than for some time past.
The mills, however, are still running
on fair time, as orders on the books
are being cleaned up, but If sales do
not pick up from what they are at
present, reduction in the output will
soon be in order. While buyers, as a
rule, are interested, they are slow in
following the advancing market, but
as stocks are steadily being reduced,
Jobbers and bakers are in the market
right along for small lots to keep up
supplies.
Feed-There is some slackening in
the feed market where the brokers are
concerned, but the mills report
steady business at firm prices. Brok-
ers having stuff delivered to them say
that they are unable to get satisfac-
tory bids for the stun and let some
of it run to other markets unsold. A
good general demand prevailed for
oats but the offerings were not firm
enough to hold prices in check. Corn
is Off So at $35 and cracked corn 81
at $37
