General Trade Conditions.

R. G. Dun & Co. says: Each week
strengthens confidence in a progress
sive revival of business activity, but
the forward movement is in many de-
partments of trade so slow and there
are so many cross influences at work
that some disappointment is felt that
the advance is on the whole not more
pronounced.
Financial conditions remain very
suspicious with money easy. There is
considerable reduction in the num-
Der of unemployed
The export movement continues
heavy. The trade balance in favor of
this country in the last week was
nearly 100000, a large increase
over the preceding week. March ex-
ports of wheat were the largest for
any month on record.
Bank clearings for the week
amounted to $2,910. 166,6SS, an increase
of IL per cent as compared with the
same week last year.

Philadelphia-John Hays Hammond,
addressing recently the American
Academy of Political and Social
Science reviewed the financial dis
tress in South American resulting
from the European war, suggested
that a Pan-American supreme court
be established to decide disputes re-
lating to foreign investments and
Pan-American transactions.
Mr.. Hammond said, in part:
"In order to induce our capitalists
to supply working capital to Latin
American countries they must be as
sured of the encouragement and co.
operation if our national administra.
ton and of the guarantee of the pro-
lection of their investment against
discriminatory laws and confiscation
especially in time of revolutionary
movements. Our citizens must be as
sured at least of the same degree OF
protection that is guaranteed by other
governments to their nationals"

$50 for choice. Oranges hold firm at
last weeks figures of $3@3.5O with
demands good. Grapefruit is selling
on wide margin at $3.25@4.50 and
cranberries are out of the market.
Potatoes-There has been no new
developments in the local spud mar
ket with relation to old stocks, but
the new variety is slightly easier at
rose per pound.
Other Observation-Disclosures is get.
ting plentiful and prices are easier at
60@75c. Celery is cleaning up at 90c
and parsley is off sc to 35c. Rhubarb

the market at $2.75 for the white and

Wheat - Irregularity, feverishness
and uncertainty marked the past week
in the wheat markets. Light stocks in
this country, with the worlds supplies
present and prospective more closely
adjusted than the trade has ever
known, presents most extraordinary
situation. and one which the bulls
claim is all in their favor. May wheat
showed little gain during the week
1t is asserted that virtually all the
millers and exporters who have bought
May did so with the intention of TAX
ing the wheat then rendered. This
course was largely prompted, it was
said, by the growing scarcity of wheat
and the discount for which May had
been selling. A good demand for June
developed as a result of, the remark
able discount compared with the spot
wheat, and the assumption that i'm
porters and millers would require
large quantities of new wheat as soon
as 1t becomes available.
Flour-There Is a slight improve.
ment in the flour trade, out it does not
bring conditions out of the dun col.
umn.
Feed-The demand for millfeed is
good and the market is showing a
very strong tone. Buyers in all direc-
tions seem to want some and offerings
are limited. Most of the mills are Civ.
ing preference to their mixed car Gus
toners. Bran is slowing up some and
the demand for prompt shipment Of
ferings is only fair. The oats market
was featureless throughout the week
with only limited demand for the
very light offerings. Big holders were
unable to dispose of any round lots to
buyers and as a result were indisposed
to add to their lines.

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

The Improvement in business condi-
lions appears more marked this week
than for some time for the same rela-
tive period. A larger consuming de-
mand has been created through the

weeks as to prices with the exception

a firmer feeling, quotations being
$7Qs.
| Cured Meats-There has been no new

Flour-A fair business is passing in

rather low, and the mills are operating
almost exclusively to cover the de-
