making an improved showing with
carload shipments being received.
Quotations are ruling at 75c@$1.25
per box for sweet and $1.25 per crate
for pie. Navel oranges are about out
of the market, while Valencies are
quoted at $3.50@3.75. Lemons are a
little firmer at S425@5 for fancy and
$4,000 for choice. Currants are onw
in market and quoted at $1.75 per
crate.
Potatoes-Old spuds are showing
still greater firmness, the quotation
this week being So per cwt., while
new stocks are becoming more plen-
Ciful, and a decline is noted at 3Ac.
The old spud market at New York is
puzzle, with receivers trying to sell
them at S1.35@1.5O per 165-pound bag.
New stocks are selling well at $4,000
AS. No particular change is noted
in the Chicago market, with sales be-
ing made on a basis of 48@52c.
Other Vegetables-In green goods,
beets, turnips and carrots are now Of
fered at 25c per dozen punches, rhu-
barb at &c per pound, peas sore,
beans 6@1Oc, and spinach 2@4c To-
matoes are a little easier at $4,000
$50 per crate, and beets and turnips
may be had in sack lots at So and
S1.50 per cwt.
Wheat-Markets are gradually get.
ting down to new crop basis, with
business very dull and sales small;
there is hardly any business going on.
Lack of tonnage is proving a hardship,
with fully 100000 bushels of wheat
at tidewater and the interior ready to
ship, and no available tonnage in
sight the closing month of the cereal
year will be very light. AS to new
seasons prospects, they are not very
favorable for export with the pros
poets of one of the largest crops gath
cred in years and tonnage command
ing S5 shillings and better, the future
does not bode for high prices of wheat.
AS to values, we quote bluestem 79c,
club nc, and red Russian zoe.
Flour-As rule, the trade is basing
it's price on wheat values; reserve
stocks of cheap wheat are gone and
millers must know what the wheat is
going to cost before they can name
prices for their flour. There is some
inquiry for new crop stuff both from
domestic and foreign sources. Millers
are not able to meet these inquiries
with quotations. They say they do
not know within, say, soc a bushel of
what the new wheat is going to cost
them, and it would be pure specula-
ton for them to sell or for their Gus
toners to buy.
Feed-Limited transactions are re-
ported for the week. A good tone pre-
walls, and offerings are small. Prices
are about the same as week ago.
The trade in oats has been largely
confined to local distribution. The bar
ley market is rather dull.

PRzEMYsL IN HAPPY MOOD.
Occupation by Germans Seemed Time
for Joy.

Tor Joy.
Przemysl, Galicia.-The first twenty
four hours of the German-Austrian oc-
cupation of Przemysl was not elapsed
when the town was ringing with the
songs of the jubilant soldiers. The
streets tremble under the rush of mo-
tor batteries, going in pursuit of the
retreating enemy.
Inside the town Bavarian troops were
marching from masses sung in celebra-
ton of victory. In the fields outside
the town squads of soldiers and peas
ants are in search of wounded who
may lie amid the tall grain. At every
few PAGES of their advance they shout,
then pause to listen for an answering
cry.
The troops marching from mass are
escorted by their bands. They are
cheered as they pass, and at every
turn fresh Austrian flags are flung
vindward to welcome them.

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

The weather has been favorable to
the forwarding of crop prospects.
There are increased estimates of the
general yield of staple farm prod
ucts for the country at large, while
in the Pacific Northwest the condi-
lions could not be better for the
maturing of a record outturn in
wheat, the state grain inspector, after
canvass of the principal growing
sections of Washington, stating that
the yield would undoubtedly be the
best in quarter of century, unless
unfavorable developments occurred
within the next few weeks, and as the
grain is in a much more forward po-
sition than usual danger from this
source is regarded as remote.
Butter-There has been further i'm.
provement in the butter situation
from the standpoint of holders during
the week. The falling off in the milk
supply, with advance in price to pro
ducers for condensing interests, has
served to impart an undertone of
strength, and prices are firm at ESQ
csc, with probabilities of higher rul-
ings.
Eggs-The warm weather during
the week has started hens setting
and there has been an appreciable
curtailment in receipts of eggs. While
the price is holding around the $3.50
mark for Washington ranch stocks
the market will unquestionably show
steady advances from now on.
Poultry-As forecasted in this col
umn last week, quotations on hens and
chickens have taken another drop, and
the decline also affects ROSTERS. Fig
ures this week for live weight are
Hens lie, chickens zoe and roosters
&c; dressed, hens 13@15c, chickens 22
@24c and ROSTERS S@10c. The cause
assigned to the slump is increased
supply with a falling off in demand.
Dressed Meats-The mutton market
shows a slightly weaker tone than
last week, but the quotation remains
the same at 14015c, with lamb still
ruling at 16@17c. Veal is getting
more plentiful, and is quoted at 13q
lac, with pork fairly firm at 1917 a
15c, and beef unchanged at 11h@12c
Cured Meats-Hams have shown a
slightly firmer feeling during the week
and the eastern variety has been
marked up 1c at 17c, otherwise there
is no change as to prices. A moder
ate improvement is noted in demand
Hides and Leather-The general
hide market has recovered slightly
within the past week or two from the
weakness which occurred the latter
part of May which was due to slump
in quality and not market conditions
that being the season of poorest take
Off" Locally, the market is a little
firmer at unchanged prices. Owing
to the war in Europe, the leather mar
ket has been drained of light leather
stocks and as a result the market is
strong.
Berries-The strawberry market Is
being supplies almost entirely from 10
cal shipments, which, due to weather
conditions, are not of large proper
tions. The market is ruling this week
at 50, and from present indications il
will hold at about that figure for the
balance of the season. Red raspber-
ries and blackcaps are now in the
market and jobbing at SO per crate

GERMANS BUNCOED
THE UNITED STATES
BIG HOAX PLAYED ACCORDING TIC
THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE
OF TUESDAY.
DIPLOMAT ACTED AS A SPY
Meyer-Gerhard Called Rank lmposter
Was Given Safe Conduct Home
Has Much nformation-Bought
Munitions and Shipped Home.

New York.-The Tribune says.
Or. Anton Meyer-Gerhard, German
Red Cross lecturer and Count Won
Bernstorff's special envoy to the i'm
perial government, who landed Tues
day in Christiania, Norway, has perpe-
trated q gigantic hoax on the state de-
partment of the United States, accord
ing to information now in the hands
Of the Tribune. He is none other than
DR.. Alfred Meyer, privy councillor of
the first rank, chief of the department
of army supplies of the imperial Ger
man ministry OF war.
THE real Dr. Anton Meyer-Gerhard
has not been out of Germany since the
beginning of the war, and ha sheen re-
ported among the wounded on the east
front. His name was assumed by DR.
Meyer-Gerhard and the protecting
mantle of the Red Cross thrown about
him that his identity and true mission
to the United States might not become
known to those outside German Off
cialdom.
His much-advertised Red Cross
propaganda was farce. He came here
to purchase such war supplies as he
could obtain, and incidentally to learn
the condition of military preparedness
in this country. He takes to the Ger
man war office information of great
importance, which he has gathered in
his dealings with various munition
brokers and manufacturers.
Tall and erect his excellency has
graced the lecture platform while he
has made his plans for contributions
eWaring a toupee, to change the ap
pearance of his somewhat bald head
and gold-rimmed glasses to disguise
his face, he has dickered with many
dealers and done everything in his
power to prevent the allies from OBJ
tanning war materials here. As lat
ter day DIR. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde he
has been a notable success.
Aided by Bernstorff
His excellency's activities have
been carried on with the knowledg,
and cooperation of Ambassador Vol
Bernstorff. In fact, they arrived to
gether on August a. 1914. Since the1
they have been in close communica
ton. Now DR.. Meyer, armed with {
safe conduct letter from Mr. Bryan il
the name of 'Meyer-Gerhard, has beef
sent back by the ambassador, and tn,
German government is awaiting hi
report before replying to Presiden
Wilson's last note.
"The scheme worked perfectly ant
the state department apparently ha
not had the slightest suspicion tina
DR.. Meyer-Gerhard was not Meyer
Gerhard at all. 1t is a fact, however
that the French and British embassies
at Washington did not issue a safe con
duct guarantee, as in the case of DR.
Dernberg. But they are said to hav,
made it plain that they would not in
terfere with an accredited representa-
tive of the Red Cross.

10000 Demand That Their
Services BE Ac-
cepted,
TO TAKE MEMS PLACE


LONDON, July 17.-(9:O5 p. M
Fifty thousand women OF England
gathered today on Victoria emhank-
ment and uaradcd through the streets
with banners flying to demonstrate
their enthusiastic desire to be enlisted
IN the service Of the country
There was a remarkable scene
when the minister Of munitions, ac-
companied by Mrs. Emmeline Pank-
lurst. tn, suffragist leader appeared
ON platform overlooking the en-
bankment along which the prCces-
sion made its way.
Mr.. LLOYD George had previously
received a deDutation headed by Mrs.
Pankhurst, who said it WAS crime
for men to pc doing work which could
be performed by women.
In response to loud cries for a
speech the minister said that the gov
eminent proposed to utilize the sery-
icees of every one prepared to assist,
and declared victory would eventually
be won. There were dark clouds
looming in the east, but he looked 10
the indominate courage Of Russia to
dispcrse this hurricane, and Russia
would "emerge once more formidable
and deadly, to help the great demo-
cratic countries in the west achieve
a great victory for the freedom of
Europe"
The people Of England said the
minister, we're painting to help; they
had painted twelve months to catch
the foe who had been preparing for
years, but they would catch him.
The conclusion OF the minister's
speech was the signal for great
patriotic demonstration; hats and
flaes waved enthusiastically while
bands played the national anthem.
