THE SPOKANE MARKET.
Provisions.
Butter-A falling off in the cream
supply incident to the period between
winter and spring has caused an ad-
vance of 1c in the wholesale price Of
butter during the past week as far as
the local market is concerned.
Eggs-Large stocks continue to be
the feature in the egg market and, as
predicted in these columns last week,
the price has gone further downward,
quotations at the moment being $3.50
to the producers and So wholesale
Storage stocks have all been cleaned
up.
Poultry-There has been on change
in the poultry market as to prices
within the week, and receipts have
been adequate to supply the demands
Fresh Meats-The market is hold
| ing steady at former quotations, with
supplies amply adequate to supply the
demands, which at this season of the
year are usually rather restricted on
account of Lent, but at that are bet
ter than in former years.
Cured Meats-There has been a
slight change in the cured meat situa
ton as to prices, eastern hams being
off half a cent and dry salt sides one
cent. Otherwise the market is rul
ing fairly steady, with demands abou
normal.
Apples-Stocks are getting prett!
well cleaned up, but there has beer
no material change in the price situa
ton, the ruling figures being 50@75'
for cooking and 75c@$1.25 for fancy
! Other Fruits-Oranges are still
holding at $2.50@2.75, with FREE
movement. Lemons continue to holt
at easy figures, quoting at $4,000 TO
fancy and $3.50 for choice. Banana
are a little firner, at 4s4...5c pc
pound, and continue to move freely
Cranberries show further decline. a
$7@7.5O per barrel and $2.5O@2.75 pc
box. Grapes are out of the market
Potatoes-The spud market is still
very sluggish and, while the price ha
not changed from that prevailing 70
some time, indications are that Their
| will be quite slump in a short time
, Sweets still hold firm at former fiji
ures Of 1925.
, Other vegetables-The advent {
green onions from local shippin
points has given variation of 35@4O
+ on this commodity. Dry onions ar
also little cheaper, at $1.50@1.7
as is also rhubarb, at S010c. Bru
: sells sprouts are now in the mark,
, and jobbing at 10c, while pumpkin
are all cleaned up.
Wheat-During the week under r
a view we found a slow dragging ma
/ ket and sales from country holder
!. have not been very heavy. AS we hay

r The shippers have not taken on al
d new tonnage, as ocean freights ha'
gone up beyond reason, and the unce
tainty of securing grain from holde
l. at a reasonable price made the expol
g ers very careful in taking on new to
Q mage. With the exports continuing
n heavy scale on old business, the sc

D good bulge. The violence of t
q changes every day recently are SUI
u that sellers are dubious wheth
y prices will go back to where they we

of prices has tendency to reduce {
number of spectators as well as t
extent of their operations.
v Flour-The demand for flour is We
