Kingdom and France, will no doubt
cause an upward trend to prices fol
lowing the initial selling movement OF
first productions by planters for finan-
cial reasons or to secure profits at the
early beginning of crop making.
Butter-There has been no further
change in the butter situation as to
prices since the decline noted last
week, but the market is firm and
rather inclined to go back up instead
of down.
Eggs-There has not been much
change in the local egg market, quo
tations holding firm at $13 for fresh
local and eastern, both of which are
scarce, and $s.50@9 for storage.
Poultry-The price on hens and
chickens is a little firmer this week,
the quotation being 10c live weight
and 12@13c dressed.
Dressed Meats-The only change
noted in this department as to prices
is slight advance in the quotation on
mutton from 1917 Ollie to 11A@12hc.
The market on all lines is rather quiet
with demands fairly good.
Lard and Cured Meats-No price
changes are noted in cured meats this
week, but eastern lard If off half
cent at 11hc for tierces. Otherwise
the situation is rather quiet with the
market firm.
Apples-There is not much doing
in the apple line in a general way as
to receipts caused by the cold wealth
er, but local distribution during the
current week has been good and
prices have been well maintained at
previous quotations.
Other Fruits-Fancy lemons are off
csc at So, while choice remain at
$3.50. Navel oranges have taken
little wider range in quotations from
$3@3.25 to $2.50@3.25, and pineapple
is off lie per pound at SC.
Potatoes-The range on Irish muir
pheys has been narrowed slightly this
week, the figures being 75c@$1.1C
against 75c@$1.25 last week. There
is not much doing in the spud deal on
account of the cold weather.
Other egetables-Squash is lit
, tie firmer at $1.25 per hundred pounds
while caulifower is rather easier a
S1.50@1.75. Bunch lettuce is off at the
top at $4,000 per dozen and no
house lettuce is firmer at 50@75c pc

&C per pound and California tomatoe
are firmer at $1S5 in Jugs.
Wheat-There has been decides
upward tendency in the wheat marke
during the past week, the quotation
reaching record figures in goo
many cases. But outside of the pric
side of the situation there has nc
been any great developments. AS T.

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

The report of the department of ag-
riculture giving the final figures on
crop conditions shows that the total
farm value of seventeen products, in
Guiding all field crops, potatoes, rice,
tobacco and cotton, is nearly S5,00O,-
100000, in spite of the fact that the
value of the cotton crop decreased
about S35O,000,O00 owing to the infiu-
ence of the European war. This re-
port is expected to act as a stimulant
to the entire business world, as II
shows that the primary conditions OF
the country are of the very best and
of solid and substantial character.
In view of the facts brought out by
this report, the waiting attitude at
tributed to the business world seems
to be without apparent reason. II
seems beyond reason that such a sit
uation can much longer prevail in a
country with such large harvest and
with prices of farm products at such
high level. With home consumption
to take care of and the call from over
the water, it seems evident that re
turn to normal conditions must fol
low.
Sugar-The assurance to the pres
ent extent of a full Cuba crop, togeth
er with full crop prospects in Hawaii
an cane crop and the United States
domestic beet crops, go some ways to
ward annulling expectations of ex
IRENE high prices during sugar cam

There is still a chance for the retail
dealer who has neglected to pay the
special war tax on the sale of tobacco
to escape the penalty of so per cent
increase and possible prosecution for
violation of the law. Internal revenue
officials state that general order mas
been issued from Washington, in
structing collectors not to impose the
penalty until further notice. Just how
long dealers who have not paid the
tax will be given to make good was
not stated in the order.
According to revenue officials there
are many dealers who have not paid
the tax, basing their calculations on
the estimated number in the district
and the number who have already
paid. 1t is asserted that this same
condition obtains in other parts OF
