SPOKANE MARKET.

With the approach of the new year
there is a steady and definite stimula-
ton in the business affairs of the ma
ton. Optimistic reports are the rule
from every section and it seems fair
ly well established that the year 1915
will show a largely increased volume
of trade in all lines over last year.
The crop reports OF many of the
states have been made public during
the past week and in practically every
instance have shown enormous in
creases over the past two years. An
exception is noted as to money value
of crops in the cotton states, the crop
of the staple this year being about
100000 bales less than 1914, but the
lcss is made up in part through the
cultivation of other products.
The local wheat market has shown
some improvement during the week.
and with the opening of transportation
facilities to the eastern seaboard, con-
siderable grain has been moved than
for several weeks past.
Butter-The market holds rather
firm at previous quotations of 30@34c
for Washington creamery and some
increase in demands is reported
Eggs-The egg market holds at
about the same level as for several
weeks, with quotations strong at $11
to the producers for fresh ranch and
$12 wholesale. Storage are moving
more freely at $S.50@9.
Fresh Meats-A slight Strengthening
in beef this week has been reflected in
the quotations noted, with other lines
holding at about the same level. Prob
ably due to the holiday season, con
siderable increase in demands has
been noted during the week.
Lard and Cured Meats-No further
change as to prices have occurred on
hog products since the slight reduc
ton noted last week, but demands are
gradually broadening. Lard still main
tains the position it has held for some
time at 10@10hc.
Hides and Wool-The hide market
is in very unsatisfactory position
and it is probable that a radical read
justment of prices will take place un
less there is an improvement in the
very near future. Wool still main
tains a very strong position, will
transaction of only moderate proper
tons.
Apples-Not much change has beer
noted in the local apple market dur
ing the week and prices are well main
tanned at former quotations.
! Oranges-As the season advances
the quality of the oranges coming t.
this market improves. Quotations TO
the week are slightly lower, will
fancy quoting at S3.25@3.50 and choice
$3@3.25. Jap oranges are off Csc a
$1.75.
Other Fruits-The holiday trade al
most cleaned up the supply of Gran
berries in jobbers' hands and quota
J ton on box supplies are little firme
at $3.75@4.25, while in barrel lots tn
. figure remains the same as last week
is noted in quotations.
: Potatoes-The local spud marke
holds at about the same level as las
week, with quotations at $1@1.15 70
the Irish variety, while sweets stil
rule at $3.50 per cwt.
Other Vegetables = Cauliflower |
easier at $3.50 per dozen, as is ais
celery at 50@75c per dozen bunche.
Dry onions are firmer at S1.25@1.5
per cwt., while cabbage is a littl
easier at $1@1.25. Hothouse lettuc
is firmer at 81 per box, and green pei
pers are easier at SC per pound. Their

Postal Service Doubled.

Washington.-The postal service has
doubled in the last IL years, and dur
ing the last fiscal year audited trans
actions reached the $4,000. 100000 mark
for the first time, according to the an
nual report of the postoffice depart
ment. Sales of stamps, postal cards
and stamped envelopes, the great
source of income, netted s25S, 900 ,O0t
for the year. About s20O.0OO.OO0 was
paid out in salaries.

are no tomatoes on the market at
present.
Considerable animation has
been given to the local wheat market
during the week by the shaving of
rates to the Atlantic seaboard, there
by opening an avenue for the ship
ment of grain to eastern terminals
AS a result of this situation, large
volume of wheat has been shipped
east at prices from / to 2 cents above
those prevailing at Pacific coast
points. The blockade that has pre-
vailed at Pacific coast terminals has
not been relieved to any great extent
and, as a result, very little grain is
going that way. In the matter of
quotations, based on Pacific coast
prices, the market is about &c above
that of last week. Bluestem is quoted
at S7c club SAC and red Russian soc.
Flour-There has been no change
as to prices in the -four market dur
ing the week on the products of the To-
cal mills, but some grades of Mon
tana hard wheat flour handled here
have advanced 40c per barrel. The
same condition that had prevailed for
some time with regard to the trend
of prices still causes distributive op-
erations to hold at very conservative
proportion.
Feed-The strength to the alfalfa
market has been further accumulated
this week by another advance of 81
making the figure SIS per ton. Feed
wheat mas also been advanced from
$50 to $32 per ton. Other lines are
holding firm at previous quotations
with good distributive business.

London.-David Lloyd-George, minis

believe that British workmen were
less patriotic than the French, whose
devotion and self-sacrifice had enabled
France successfully to withstand the
terrible machine which with the aid of
German workmen had scored a great
victory over the Russians. Time was
vital, and help must be given without
delay, the minister of munitions said
in closing.

In his appeal to the workmen Mr.
Lloyd-George said:

them that if they manage to hold out

OWNERS OF MOTOR BOATS
"JARRED" BY U. S. FINES
Seventeen Potomac River Navigators
Assessed $500 for Failure to
Abide by Law.

The recent imposition of fines
amounting to $500 upon seventeen
motor boat owners and operators on
the Potomac river for being under way
without proper lights or life preserv-
ers aboard, or for various other infrac-
tons of the laws of navigation, has
somewhat "jarred" the self confidence
of motor boat owners, who were will
ing to take chances OF being caught
and fined.
Few Of the motor boat owners had any
idea that inspectors were busy on the
Potomac, but the visit of the inspectors
Is causing boat owners who did not
have proper equipment on their boats
to get 1t at once. While the very large
majority of Washington motor craft
owners who boat for pleasure have
their boats fully equipped and obey
the navigation laws to the fullest,
there are a few who even when they
have proper running lights aboard are
Indifferent and do not take the trouble
to put them UP at the proper time, or
in other ways show disregard for
laws that are made for the protection
of all navigators.
1t is stated navigation inspectors
working under the Department of Com
merce, will continue their activities on
the Potomac throughout the summer,
and it behooves all launch owners, as
we'll as those in commercial craft, to
see that they comply with the regula-
lions.
