SPOKANE MARKET.

backbone Of long period of more or
less acute depression, has been broken
is development that affords occasion
for qualification. That such is the
condition there remains now very lit
tie reason to question. Never were
underlying conditions more suspicious
for the termination of activities, and
the restoration of normal conditions
in the realms of production and dis
tribution. Never did the nation, as a
whole, show more striking portrayal
OF the fact that this is land of plenty.
Butter-There has been no change
IN the local butter market during the
week as to prices, the range still hold
ing at 30@34c for Washington cream
cry.
Eggs-There has not been much
change in the egg situation during the
week over that which has prevailed
for some time past. Fresh stocks con-
tinue to be hard to get, thereby en-
HANGING the movement OF storage
stocks.
Fresh Meats-The market is holding
at about the same level as for some
time, and from present indications
there will not be any material changes
for some time to come. Constructive
demands seem to be some better than
heretofore
Lard and Cured Meats-There has
been no change in this division as to
prices, the market being we'll main
tanned at previous figures. A slight
hrna dnnipu in, lo
and from present outlook should still
further increase. Lard holds firm at
previous quotations.
Hides and Wool-Market is holding
firm at quotations noted. Hide receipts
vary, but on the whole are of season
able proportions. The wool situation
is still very firm one and probably
will remain SO for some time.
Apples-The aftermath of the Apple
show brought the market back to the
status that prevailed for some time
previous to that event, although there
was good business done in this fruit
on account of the holiday trade. AS
to prices the fancy still rule at 1880
2.25 and cookers at s5c@$1.25.
oIhCl l. ulIS- dlcuCld OTduR6S are
off the market and navels will be
available Monday at $4.25@45O per
case, having failed to arrive in time
for the Thanksgiving trade. In grapes
the Emperor is firmer in crates at
$1.50@1.60 and kegs are quoted at
$500. Pineapple and huckleberries
are firmer at SC and 6@sc, while cram
berries are easier at $9.25@1O.O0 per
barrel and $3.25@3.50 per box. Grape
fruit is also easier at $5.75@6 per case
and ounces are off the market.
Potatoes-There has been no change
in the price situation of the local Irish
spud market during the week, the ad-
vance noted last week being still
maintained. Sweets are little firmer
this week at $2@2.25.
Other Vegetables beans are
off &c at SC per pound, while cauli-
flower is firmer at $1.75@2.25 per
dozen. Celery and cabbage also are
firmer at $4,000 and $1.15@1.25 per
cwt. The range on cucumbers has
broadened out to 50c@$1.25 per dozen
and green peppers are firmer at s@1Oc
per pound.
A vegetable evaporating plant, hav-
ing a capacity of 81 tons of potatoes
per day, will be established in the
cannery building at Grand Forks, b.
c., within two weeks by the Graham
company Of Belleville, Ont, their rep.
resentative, T. Bone, having complet-
ed arrangements. The plant will oper-
ate night and day and give employ
ment to about so.
Wheat-Locally the wheat market
holds at about the same level as last
week, the only change being noted ia
an advance Of &c on club, which
makes the quotations for the week SAC
on bluestem, sic on club and 7Sc on
red Russian. There has been no
change in the movement situation, the
inclination to hold for better prices
still being In evidence. Eastern re-
ports noted several fluctuations in the
market during the week, caused by
various reports of probable changes
that would develop from the outcome
of projected negotiations of the differ
ent powers engaged in the European
conflict.
Flour-Forecasted decline in the
flour market, predicted from some
quarters last week, did not materialize
and If anything there is a stronger
tone to the market at the present
time. Distributive operations hold at
about the same level as for some time
past, dealers still being inclined to
stock up only for immediate require
ments. AS to quotations, firsts quote
at 1928 and seconds IS.
Feed-With the opening of logging
operations the movement of hay and
oats has been enhanced to consider
able degree, and some lines of mill
feed have also felt the taking on of
new business. AS to quotations, there
has been no changes since last report,
the market seeming to be well main
tanned at ruling figures.
