GRAIN AND MILLING NOTES,

Jones & Zuck, who recently leased

OF years, expect to start operations

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: Prompt and
effective action by the government, in
cooperation with leading representa-
tives of American business, is stead
lily making for the restoration Of more
normal conditions in the foreign
trade. There is nothing either I'm
sound or ~unpromising in the domestic
trade and crop situation, all the dis
turbance now experienced in the mar
ket being due to the interruption of
foreign commerce and the suspension
of the usual foreign exchange trans
actions caused by the European war.
With the reopening of our foreign
trade on a liberal scale there should
be a return to full normal prosperity
in American business.
Failures this week in the United
States were BAG, against PAT last year;
in Canada SO, against SO last year."

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

Business, on the whole, is fairly well
sustained, and in some directions
there have been stimulation in de-
mands, owing to the strong market
presented in staples, leading dealers
to anticipate their nearby wants. This
is largely true in groceries and spices.
On the whole, the trade is awaiting
the breaking of the long-protracted
drought, however, and with a good
rain it is thought that there would be
a strong expansion in activities.
Changes for the week are noted as
follows: ADMINISTRATION, sardines,
flour, cereals, lard, wheat and hogs.
Declines-Sugar, lemons, cantaloupes,
peaches, grapes, pears, tomatoes and
poultry.
Sugar-The sugar situation has set
tied into a state of rather more sta
bility, following the reaction of soc in
the price of standard granulated,
which is now quoting locally at $3.50,
and b future course of developments
is indeterminate, with dealers operat-
ing with caution, so far as taking on
additional stock is concerned.
Coffee-The coffee market is show.
ing very little change at first hand at
the moment. although adjustments to
meet the recent advances have been
made locally, and Santos green cot
fees, with some package lines are adj
vanced h@1c. Trade has been act
i've.
Provisions.
Butter-There has been no change
as to prices IN the local butter market
during the week but the situation has
a very firm tone at present levels.
Eggs-The egg market continues
to hold a very firm aspect but there
has been no change in prices over a.
week ago.
Poultry-Receipts have been heav-
Ter the past week than for some time,
both OF hens and chickens, with de-
mands holding up well. Quotations
are on 1c this week on hens and
chickens both to the producers and
dressed stocks.
Dressed Meats-The only change in
this department noted this week is
the widening of the margin on mutton,
there being a drop Of &c at the bot
tom, making the figures 9@1oc and a
slight uphft in hogs. Lights being
quoted at $s.75@9.25 and heavy at
$7.75@8.25.
