1t will be an incentive to make the
worker improve his condition and get

OF NEUTRAL POWER.
DOCUMENT OF 5000 WORDS
Prepared by President Wilson, secre
tary Bryan and Counselor Lansing
OF State Department-Reply to
Critics and Future Policy.

Washington.-Th United States
government issued Sunday a lengthy
defense of its Interpretation of the
rights and duties of neutral in the
European war.
The document, 5000 words long, pre-
pared by President Wilson, Secretary
Bryan and Counselor Lansing of the
state department, after several days
of consultation, was made public in
the form of a letter from the secre'
tary of state to Senator Stone of Mis-
souri, chairman of the senate com
mittee on foreign relations.
While the letter is a reply to an in
quiry from Senator Stone for informa
ton as a result o. complaints made in
the press and in letters from various
parts of the country, charging the
Washington government with unfair
ness to Germany and Austria, it also
is intended as pronouncement of pol
icy on some questions of neutrality
previously unexplained.
After answering 10 separate and
specific charges and calling attention
to the fact that the United States has
promptly taken to task Great Britain
as well as. Germany and every other
government which in any way has in
fringed upon the rights of this country
with a declaration on the much-dis.
cussed question of expectation of wal
munitions.

Wheat-The wheat market has con

dition that has been characteristic fol
several weeks past. While there are
occasional reactions in speculative op
erations, the general trend appears t
be to sustain the advances that have
featured the situation, on the strength
of continued export demand. Locally
values are about &c higher, with blue
stem at SLAP and club at $1.3s, anC
there is well-sustained demand fol
all offerings.

larged activities looking to increasing
the areas under cultivation, and it il
estimated that about 10000 acres
have been added to fall sown areas IL
this state.
Flour-The market is still trendint
higher, and patents have been agar
advanced to a jobbing basis of $3.9'
on local brands. There is little pass

and the unwillingness of millers t

its being a restrictive influence.

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
as the season advances that will cause
1915 to show a marked and healthful
improvement over it's predecessor.
There has been a steady business
in progress, although conditions hold
as usual for the season, which is char
acterized by the lightest demands of
the year. The outlook is good, though
there are ather more than the ordi-
nary amount of fluctuations, with
some staples, particular in the line of
cereals experiencing radical and sus-
tanned advances.
Sugar-The strength that has been
manifested in the sugar situation for
some time is reflected in 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
dicated The statistical situation
shows: Stocks in the United States
and Cuba together of 245,931 tons,
against 235,940 tons last week and
170,301 tons last year, an increase OF
1850 tons from last year. Estimated
afioats to the United States from
Cuba and Porto Rico, $4,000 tons; Ha-
wall, $4,000 tons; Philippine islands
1000 tons. Total, $4,000 tons, against
total y mn TONS q OF vqar
Butter-The situation is still weak
and unsatisfactory from the stand
point of holders. Production is sus
tanned at a point we'll above the nor
NAL for the season, and prices are

Eggs-The egg market shows still
further weakening and quotations this
week are $7@S for local storage and
$9.50@10 for local ranch. Eastern
fresh are out of the market.
Fresh Meats-The undertone of the
market is slightly firmer, with thu
falling off in receipts of stock at lead
