Wheat-The wheat market has CON
tinued in the nervous and excited con-
dition that has been characteristic for
several weeks past. While there are
occasional reactions in speculative OPP
erations, the general trend appears to
be to sustain the advances that have
featured the situation, or the strength
of continued export demand. Locally
values are about &c higher, with blue
stem at SLAP and club at $1.3S, and
there is a well-sustained demand for
all offerings.
Reports continue to indicate en-
larged activities looking to increasing
the areas under cultivation, and it is
estimated that about 10000 acres
have been added to fall sown areas in
this state.
Flour-The market is still trending
higher, and patents have been again
advanced to a jobbing basis of 1895
on local brands. There is little pass
ing on export account, slack demands
and the unwillingness of millers to
enter into contracts except at full linn
it's being a restrictive influence.
Feed-The entire list of feedstuffs
is running steadily higher. Oats have
followed the stiff advance of last week
to $37@3S, with barley up to $34@35.
Millfeed is up a dollar a ton, while
hay has advanced SOC, partly owing
to slack shipments from the interior.
THE SPOKANE MARKET.
Business continues to show gradual
if not decided, improvement. There is
more animation in demands at whole
sale and retail, and conditions are
gradually taking on shape that offer
encouragement to enlarged activities

acterized by the lightest demands Of
the year. The outlook is good, though
there are rather more than the ordi
nary amount of fluctuations, witt

Sugar-The strength that has beer
manifested in the sugar situation fol
some time is reflected in a 10 point
advance going into effect during the
week. The market generally is rath
er quiet, with requirements at low
ebb, and strong prospects for higher
prices as the season advances are in
