SPOKANE MARKET.

With the approach of the new year
there is 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 3O@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
SIP wholesale. Storage are moving
more freely at $4,000.
Fresh Meats-A slight strengthening
in beef this week has been reflected in

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 OF
hog products since the slight reduc
ton noted last week, but demands ar,
gradually broadening. Lard still main

Hides and Wool-The hide marke

100000 SUIT
COMPROMISED
Preston Estate Against Union Co,
is Reduced to 100000 by
The Agreement.

At a meeting of attorneys
representing the A. J. Preston
estate, of Davenport. Iowa, and
the committeeman from Lindell
and Cayseville precints in Union
county, held at Yeaman e. Yea
man law Office in the Ohio Valley
bank building in this city, Satur-
day, compromise was effected
whereby the tax payers of the
two Union county precincts pay
to the Preston estate, the sum of
100000 in full payment of a
judgement for $500, 900, return
ed against them in Federal court
nearly a half century ago.
The attorneys representing
the Preston estate at the meet
ing, were Helm Bruce and John
Bryce Baskin, of Louisville, and
representing the committeeman,
Judge H. X. Morton, of Morgan
field. Under the terms of agree
ment the 500, 900 is to be paid
over to the estate within twelve
months. The money will be
raised by taxing the property in
the district and will amount from
four to six per cent, on all prop
erty subject to taxation in the
two precincts.
The paying over of the money
will bring to a close one Of the
most notable cases ever before

Kentucky. 1t has been the
means Of more talk, and shifting
of officials in Union county than
any other one thing in its history.
1t has been the cause of sheriffs

War PRISONERS, LETTERS.

BERLIN, Aug. because letters
received from German prisoners Of
war in France, apparently, have been
tempered with-by the French censor.
il is charged-the authorities have
found 1t necessary TO issue a warn
ing against including any informa-
ton of a military character i'm commu-
nications from relatives to prisoners.
A recent letter from a prisoner con.
tanned the surprising request to his
relatives to write him all they could
about the war. An examination Of
the writing showed, however. that the
prisoner war had written exactly the
opposite, and that his handwriting had
been initiated in changing his njunc-
ton.
Similarly, he had written that let.
ters to him should be sent unseaIed.
This injunction, too. had been altered
to read that his relatives might seal
their letters, conveying the impress.
sion, along with the request for war
news that he was in a position to re.
ceive uncesored communications.
The German authorities declare
they are convinced that it was the i'm
tention of the French government to
secure, in this manner, military news
of value, advanced word of intended
operations, troop positions and the
like. They urge relatives, therefore
