THE SPOKANE MARKET.

While there have been disappoint-
ments connected with the first half of
the year 1915, favorable feature of
the situation is found in the fact that
there has been distinct Improvement
in conditions over the opening of the
year. In practically all directions tins
betterment is noticeable. In the vol
ume of business operations at whole
sale and retail June has been the best
month of the six.
In general, it would appear that fall
business would be good, but without
any of the elements of boom. The as
surance of bumper grain crops now
seems to be about to be realized.
Butter-There has been no marked
change in the butter situation during
the week, although continued hot
weather will serve to decrease the out
put of creameries, and raise the price
level, which holds at csc and csc for
Washington.
Cheese-The increased number of
factories and enlarged output has
down to easy levels, and triplets are
quoting at ls1ac, with brick at 19c.
Eggs-The falling off in output is
becoming more pronounced with the
advancing season, and the undertone
of the market is strong, with Washing
ton ranch stocks quoting at $6@7.
Dressed Meats-There has been no
changes in 1.-The local market within
the week as to prices, beef being still
quoted at 1o12 Ole, pork 1919 @15c,
veal l3@14c, mutton 13@14c, lamb, 16
| ORC, although the sheep market is
showing weaker tendency with other
lines about steady.
Cured Meats-There has been no
further change in the prices asked for
pork products since the advance noted
last week, but the market is ruling
strong and gives indications of further
advances. Lard is holding steady at
111sc for both local and eastern.
Poultry-A slump in receipts OF
both hens and springers has caused
a stronger poultry market, although
the latter has been declined in price
while the former advanced. Quota
tions for the week are 10c for hens
and 15c for springers, live weight. Fig
ures for dressed are 12@14c for hens
and 17@19c for springers. BOOSTERS
still hold steady at &C and 9@11c.
Hides and Wool-There has been nc
change as to prices, but the market is
in little better condition with slight
increase in the receipt of hides.
Berries-The warm weather of the
past few days has been instrumental
in stimulating the berry receipts ant
records the last stages of the straw
berry season, with quotations at $1.2;

Washington.-The second business
year Of the present administration,
which closed June 80, showed deficit
of $35,S64,3S1, compared with sur
plus for the year ended June 80, 1914,
of $34,41S,677.
Official explanations will not be-
issued until the figures for the year
are analysed by Secretary McAdoo,
but on the face of the records, it is APP
parent that receipts were much small
er, an enormous reduction in customs
revenues resulting from the war, while
disbursements were much greater
Notwithstanding the deficit of the
years business the treasury now has
an actual net balance of $S2,025,716.
With such balance on hand and eve-
ry prospect thot it will be increased
possibly by $10,00O,000 in the next 10
days it is evident that there will be-
no issue of Panama canal or other
government bonds to replenish the cof-

Customs receipts for the last fiscal
year amounted to $209,268, 107, about
$11 100000 under the estimates made
by Secretary McAdoo several months
after the war began. and $S2,O0O,O0O
below the amoutn received from this
source in 1914. With the end of the
war apparently remote, it is we'll
known that many treasury officials
are convinced that it will be necessary
for congress to restore he old duty
on sugar the next session. Sugar be-
comes free next year, whereas in the
days when it paid duty it brought in
about $60,000,000 a year.
The income tax proved the big pro-
Queer during the last IL months Total
receipts up to the close of business
June 80 were $79,S2S,675, of which
36,303,525 came in on June 80. This
is more than $S,50O,O00 above the
total received from the tax last year.
The personal income tax proved a
surprise this year. Last year it brought
in only about $2s,OOO,OOO, but up to
date this year it has produced more
than $41,000,000, and that probably
will be augmented by several millions.

Washington.-Faced with unparal-

safety of foreigners, officials Of the
United States gave serious considera-

Dispatches by courier to Vera Cruz
from the Brazilian minister at Mexico
City were before Secretary Lansing
here and President Wilson at Cornish
N H., who may authorize an effort
to obtain consent of General Carranza
to send supplies into the old capital
through neutral agencies. The influ-

City is being counted on to provide
for the removal of foreigners from
danger zones.
"Only the opening of the railroad

Glen Cove, N. Y, July 3.-Frank
Holt. who today made an attempt on
the life of j. P. Morgan, head of the
banking house of j. p Morgan & Co.,
later was said by the New York police
to have made a confession regarding
the placing of the bomb which explod-
ed under the capitol building at Wash

Mr.. Morgan was shot twice at his
country home near here by Holt, a
native American of German parents,
a former student and instructor at
Cornell university, who was to have
become the head of the department of
French in the Southwestern Meth

Both shots took effect in the region
cialists at his bedside states that there
are no unfavorable symptoms and that
MIR. Morgan was resting.
Holt was overpowered by Morgan
and Henry Fiske, the butler in the
Morgan household. He was jailed
ing he had intended no harm to Mr..
Morgan, but had come to Glen Cove
to persuade the banker to stop the
shipment of munitions of bar abroad.
He went into the Morgan home, he
said, with pistol in his hand and a
stick of dynamite in his pocket, in

To Hold Mrs. Morgan a Prisoner.
Mrs. ]. p Morgan and the Morgan

lice Commissioner Arthur Woods in
his cell.
Holt said his plans miscarried; that

the crop is still showing favorable de

Flour-In spite of the higher levels
touched by the wheat market, loca
patent flours have again declined zoe
and are quoting in jobbing lots al

quiet, the trade continuing to operate
on hand to mouth basis, although

the old potato crop finds the price q
shade lower than a few weeks ago at
$l.75 per cwt. New potatoes are NOV.
ing in quantities at $1.75@2 per cwt.
Heavy receipts of spuds at New York
caused a sag in prices, figures being
Sl.l212 Ql.31 per Darrel.
Other Vegetables-Dry onions are

cheaper at $2@2.25. Other vegetables
showing declines are peas at 2@3c,
beans sore, tomatoes 90c@$1, corn
25c per dozen and green peppers $50
per pound. Asparagus out of the mar.
ket.
Wheat-The stronger undertone inn
parted to the wheat market last week
has been further augmented during
the past week, due to some renewed
operations on foreign account and re-
ports from the Central West of rains
interfering with harvesting operations.
Quotations for the week show q
stronger advance for bluestem, the
figures being 94c against SIC last
week, while club was marked up to
92c from S5c and red Russian SIC from
sac. 1t seems to be the opinion that
the declines were more drastic than
the situation called for, and the pres
ent level probably represents the new
crop opening. There has been very
little wheat moving during the inter-
i'm, the matter of tonnage being the
principal handicap. Harvesting has
started in some sections and will soon
be in full operation with prospects for
a record return still bright.
Flour-There has been no change in
the local flour market as to prices in
spite of the higher levels in wheat, the
figures being $6@6.5o, with business
comparatively quiet, the trade con-
tinuing to take only such supplies as
are needed for immediate require
ments, but indications point to trend
for the better.
Feed-Prices on feed are holding at
the same level as for the past two
weeks with the exception of feed
J wheat, which has been marked down
to $34 from $50. In hay there has
been no change since the decline OF
soc on alfalfa noted last week, while
J millfeed is steady in price and fairly
