General Trade Conditions.

r. G. Dun & Co. says: Progress in
trade conditions and the improvement,
as a whole, is of gratifying proper
tions, but there is nothing in the COM
mercial situation resembling the re-
markable revival of activity on the
stock exchange, with sales of over a
million shares day. This speculative
movement, while having a somewhat
stimulating effect upon business senti-
ment, as perhaps discounting the flu
ture, has no counterpart in actual in.
dustrial and merchandising conditions
as they exist today. The cotton goods
markets are active and the mills are
well supplied with orders. Wooden
goods are strong. Foreign trade con
tinues active in certain lines. The
war orders contribute to great pros
perity.
Bank clearings for the week amount
ed to $3,021 sol 1927, an increase of 81
per cent as compared with the same
week last year.
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1915-04-30

When the head directs the hands
good work is accomplished proportions
ate to the amount of gray matter en-
ployed and the industry exercised. A
business concern is like an individual
in this respect. While it is essential
that there be maintained physical &C
tivity, it is also imperative that some
body shall do the thinking, and the re-
sponsibility for success or failure rests
with the man who uses his head in
larger measure than with the people
who carry mis- ideas into effect. Good
ideas get the business. Good judg-
ment holds it and good management
makes it profitable. The mechanical
labor is simply the working out of de-
tails.

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

Butter-There was another slump in
the local butter market this week,
with the increase in output of Wash
ington creamery. Quotations are
down nearly to the low level of last
season, at 26@29c, while outside sup
plies are being eliminated by the in
creased offerings.
Eggs-Contrary to the usual devel-
opment the market still holds easy
but no changes in price are recorded
this week, the quotations being $3.50
@6.
Dressed Meats-The situation is
rather easier with the advent of grass
fed cattle. Beef is quoting at liz q
12c and mutton is still holding firm at
13@14c with spring lamb ranging up
to 16c at the top The pork situation
is inclined to firmness but no changes
in quotations are noted this week.
Cured Meats-There has been no
change in cured meats during the past
week, and the situation is holding easy
with fair demands.
Hides and Wool-There has been
no change in this department within
the week as to quotations, but the
wool and pelt business is rather re-
stricted under uncertain market con-
ditions.
Apples-A few fancy apples are job
bing up to slips per box but there is
wide range of variety and prices
vary from that figure down to SOC
with the situation comparatively
quiet.
Other Fruits-Oranges are showing
gradually enhanced figures, though the
change has not yet become pro
nounced. Lemons, as predicted, are
feeling the effects of eastern demands
and fancy have advanced to S3.75@
AIS while choice stock sells at $3.25Q
4.25. Grapefruit is slightly off this
week at $3.25@3.75 and Strawberries
dropped to $3.50 per crate. Cranber
ries are cleaning up at S. per barre
and $1.75 per box.
Potatoes-Spuds show increasing
scarcity and firmness. 1t is Difficult
to secure stocks and quotations thii
week are firmer at $1.25@1.50.
Other Observation-Disclosures ar
higher with the opening of the Califor
nia shipments and are quotable at S
03.25 per cwt. Rhubarb is abundan
and is quoting at $1@1.50 per box. AS
paragus is also cheaper at 90c@$l
Radishes and peas have also dc
clined, the former from 30Q35c to 25
and the latter from lie to 10c.
Wheat-The volume of bushes
passings is not large. There is a be-
ter undertone to the foreign demand
with the clearing up of supplies fror
other export sources, but stocks ar
becoming too low to operate upon
comprehensive basis, while it is a
most impossible to engage tonnag
with which to make cargo deliveries
and freight rates have established al
! other new record at rs shillings quo
! ed for steamers for Columbia rive
, loading. Some shipments are goin
out from Puget Sound ports on reg
lar steamers, but there will be fe'
cargo exports before the final windu
of the season. The price situation ha
been firmer during the week, and Il
cal quotations are up about &c frol
previous rulings, with bluestem hol'
ing at s1.2015, and club at $1.1715.

a small, steady trade to regular Blu,
