SPOKANE MARKET.

Continued advices of the starting up
of more lumber mills, with announce
ment of the commencement of opera
tions in mills and logging camps that
will employ thousands of men with the
first of the year is the most satisfac-
tory feature of the industrial situa.
ton. 1t is also the brightest side of
the commercial outlook, for, with
Washington's big manufacturing in
terest restored to normal conditions,
this section will feel at once the eff
fects of the termination in business
that is now well established upon
close to boom dimensions in a. large
proportion of the country.
While the ocean carrying situation
is still impeding the movement of the
wheat crop with almost prohibitive
charter rates asked by vessel owners,
some business continues to be done in
wheat, with well sustained market.
Produce lines are hating to some ex-
tent, but still showing larger demands
than year ago.
Butter-The position of the butter
market Is holding at about the same
level as for several weeks, with the
price ranging from 30c to SAC per
pound.
Cheese-The strong position of the
cheese market for some time has re-
suited in an advance all along the
line, with twins quoting at 17h@
19kc, cream brick 22c and other
makes 2oQ22c.
Eggs-The firm position of the egg
market is still maintained, and al
though no changes in quotations have
been noted this week, offers have
been made to the producers at or
better than the jobbing figure for
fresh stocks.
Poultry-A drop of 1c is noted in
the price of old hens, and geese have
declined &c. Otherwise, the market

Richer People Are Leaving-British
Land Men and Guns.

Saloniki-Wednesda mornings To-
cal papers are of the opinion that
while the Bulgars will not cross the
border, the Germans and Austrians
will make a direct drive toward Sa-
loniki. Many inhabitants of the richer
class have applied for passports. Some
more timid, have already packed their
trunks. Tuesday British transports
disembarked reenforcements of artil-
lery and infantry
Owing to this port being neutral, a
peculiar condition exists, which makes
it possible for Turkish and German
spies freely to watch these landings
Every horse, man and box of ammuni-
ton is counted, and the information
forwarded to the enemy, now not more
than 40 miles distant.

APPEAL THAT GOT RESULTS
Effect of Bringing Check to Settle
long-Standine Debt.

A well-known business man in Law
renee, Mass, once had a customer who
contracted debt that ran along I'M
paid for a year or more, and even sew
eral letters failed to bring about q
settlement.
One day, while glancing over the
religious notices in a local paper, the
business man saw something that gave
him a new idea. He went to his desk
and wrote the following note to the
debtor:
my Dear Sir: I see in the local
press that you are to deliver an ad-
dress on Friday evening before the
Y. M. G. A. on The Sinners Balanced
Account l inclose yours, as yet un-
balanced, and trust that l may have
the pleasure of attending your lee
ture."'

FARM PRODUCTS
MAKE BIG GAINS
SECRETARY HOUSTON'S REPORT
ESTIMATES $e,s73 ,ooo, 900 AS
VALUE LAST YEAR.
COTTON CROP IS ESTIMATED
Suggests Legislation for Better Han
ding and Storage FaciIities-Ex-
ports Increase Over $35o,oOO, 900
in One Year.

Misunderstanding Houston's
annual report, made public Wednes-
day, places an estimate of $9,S73,000,-
900 on the value of American farm
crops and animal products for last
year, valuation without precedent
This, however, will be eclipsed by the
present years showing.
This valuation is an increase of
about $S3,0o0,000 over the value of
1918, hitherto the highest ever record
ed The increase occurred in the face
of a decline in cotton from 1875 cents
a pound for the 1913 crop to an aver
age of 7.3 cents for 1914. The total
value of the 1913 cotton crop, estima-
ted at $S46,O0O,0OO, was $3.50, OOO,O
more than the 1914 crop, although the
latter was Ia per cent greater in guam
tity.
Great Export Record.
OF the tremendous flood of exports
which began near the end of the fis-
cal year covered by the secretary's re-
port many hundreds of millions repre-
sent farm products.
Between August 1, 1914, and Feb
ruary l, 1915" the report says, Eek
ports were $1,157, 100000 and imports
$771, 100000, giving a favorable bal.
ance of 100000. OF the total val
ue of exports, $662,0O0,OO0 represent,
ed agricultural and only $495, 100000
nonagricultural commodities, chiefly
manufactures.
'The total agricultural exports in
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1915
practically the first year of the war
were $1,470,0 100000, which is an in.
crease of $35e,OO0,OOO, or 23 per cent
over those of the preceding year and
of $433,000,000, or nearly AZ per cent
over the average of the five years
1910-1914."
What is needed more, perhaps, than
anything else, the secretary says, is
an increase in meat animals.

Uncle Sam the Real Victor.

London.-Copies of the Berlin Vor-
waerts received here contain an arti-
Gle several columns in length discuss
ing the probable commercial and finan-
cial effects of the war on the United
States. Under the heading "The Real

remains about the same as to prices.
Receipts have been adequate for re-
luirements.
Fresh Meats-There has been no
change in the fresh meat situation,
either in the direction of change in
price or alteration in the course OF
demands. Market is at about season
able proportions, but inclined to be
quiet.
Cured Meats-The situation has
been holding without change during
the week, although the undertone Of
prices is easy at quotations.
Apples-The apple market is COM
mencing to show little interest, al
though the high price Of fancy stock
continues to restrict demands. No
change is noted in prices noted last
week.
Other Fruits-Lemons have adj
vanced soc per case, making the price
for fancy SIS and choice $3.50. Navel
oranges are gradually improving in
quality, but still hold trife quiet
at around $3.50@3.75. Jap oranges
have eased off to So. Cranberries
have firmed up and are now quoted
at $10@10.50 per barrel and $3.75 per
box. Grapes are quoting at an adj
vance Of csc for Emperors in kegs.
at 81. Grapefruit Is easier at $4.75@
5.25 per case, and huckleberries are.
off the jobbing market.
Potatoes-Market still holds fairly
strong, but no change in price is
noted, the figure being 81 per cwt.
Sweets have advanced 25c at $3.50,
due to the cleaning up Of the field
supply.
Other Vegetables-The quotation on
cauliflower has broadened out to $1.5O
Q2.25 per dozen, and head lettuce
has eased off little at 65075c per
dozen. Hothouse tomatoes are now
on the market and quoting at So per
box. Another new vegetable is spin
| ach, which is priced at 85c per box
No change is noted as to prices on
| any of the other items of this de-
partment.
Wheat-There has not been much
| change in the wheat market locally
| during the week, quotations at the
moment holding without change.
: Movement to coast points has been
of very small proportions, although
there has been some shipments to the
Atlantic seaboard.
Flour-The quietness of the market
continues to be the rule rather than
the exception. Another change on
hard wheat flour was noted during
the week, but local patents hold at
! the same figure of $5.25@5 as has
been noted for several weeks.
Feed-The scarcity of alfalfa has
caused another boost in the price of
81, making the figure SIT per ton.
Continued expansion is reported in al
most all lines of feed as the season
advances.

Big Increase in Dividends.
AS a result Of larger demand and
better metal markets American mines
and works to the number of 121 made
dividend disbursements during the II
months of 1915, totaling $S3 1926.
This is $13,734,44s in excess of divi-
dends paid by 10 companies during
the same period in 1914. According
neering World the 121 companies
making disbursements in 1915 have
distributed dividends since their in
corporation totaling 1891, 477,1 This
is a return of issued capital and
$242 ,o23,41o additional, a really won
derful record of industrial accomplish
ment and one not enjoyed by any
other single industry.
Then there are the dividends of the
notwithstanding corporations, whose
profits are divided between holders
of stock in other companies and in
the operation of their own mines.
These, six in number, have made dis
bursements in 1915 amounting to $751;
5S0,517 and to date $190,7S6,748. A
large part of this is derived from the
direct operation of properties and
should be credited to the disburse-
ments made by operating companies.
During the last IL months 30 cop
per companies have paid dividends
totaling 36,6sS,331, which is approx
mately $6,000,0O0 in excess of divi-
dends paid during the II months of
1914. To date these companies have
disbursed no less than $490,9S1 ,346 !;
issued capital is $272,750,452.
Eighty-five companies operating
properties classed as gold-silver-lead-
zinc producers, have paid sharehold-
ers $32,859,545 during the II months
of 1915, with total payments of $780,
454,960. The combined issued capital
of these companies is $242 ,614,873.
Sixty-two of the above operate
properties in the United States and
they have paid dividends in 1915
amounting to $25,165,6O1 and to date
P~oo, oI,fOo, oh OIL loouOu NdplLcl VI
$161, 1855 900. This is return equiva.
lent to over 145 per cent and proves
that gold mining properties pay good
returns when properly operated.
Twenty Canadians properties con-
| tributed $6,575,6O3 to the above and
to date $65,773,931, on an outstanding
capital Of $69,s56,434.
But three Mexican companies re.
port dividend payments in 1915, these
disbursing $1,11S,341, and to date $17,-
s99,576, on an outstanding capital of
$11 ,403,370.
Six companies operating metallur-
gical works show an increase of ap.
proximately $1,Ooo,ooO over the same
period in 1914, having paid $685..
| $50 and since incorporation $780,
