Times WhirIigig
From the Wall Street JournqlJ

Students of the average prices of
stocks as recorded by the Wall Street
Journal for so many years, admitting
their usefulness and their significant
periodicity. frequently ask this news
paper why his movement should be
relatively so regular-which, in fact,
is the underlying cause of sucn action
and reaction.
The answer goes as deep as human
nature. The movement is founded
upon the strength and frailties OF
mankind. II is an ascertalnable fact
that the world can only stand a Ger
tain amount of prosperity. Jesu-
run wakes fat and kicks With his
suddenly acquired wealth he expands
beyond his resources, individually and
collectively. The result is recorded
in history and seems as inevitable as
the procession of the equinoxes.
A great English economist, the late
Professor Jevons, made a record of
panics Of the first class from 1901 up
to the time when America was great
enough to share the worlds financial
ups and downs. During that period
upward of two centuries there has
been a panic affecting the worlds
business on an average of a little
over ten years. This is sometimes
loosely called the ten-year cycle; but
the interval has been as short as
seven years or as long as thirteen,
with of course varying degrees of
intensity.
There is a striking parallel in the
development of great international
struggles. These have tended in mod
ern history 10 recur in the first two
decades Of the half century. Going
back. we can recall the world turmoil
which followed forty years of peace

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

Developments have been of varia-
BILE character during the past week.
In one direction there appears to be
considerable betterment. The demand
for lumber and building material has
undoubtedly shown expansion. Line
yards have increased their requisi-
lions, and the railroads have again
been in the market for a considerable
amount of lumber.
The decided slump in price for
wheat has been influential in check
ing marketing operations with the
opening of the season to some extent,
and is serving to delay the opening
of fall buying in the grain producing
sections, many farmers being inclined
to withhold their offerings, hoping for
a better turn to the market later on.
Produce has been moving rather bet
ter, while eggs and dairy products are
bringing enhanced prices, but this is
seasonable condition. This week
will witness the heaviest handling of
the peach crop, and a heavy business
is being done, with the resultant de-
mand stiffening up prices at first hand,
though the figures obtained have net
proven remunerative to the growers
The outlook now points to a broader
demand and better prices for winter
apples, although the crop will be con.
siderably below that OF last season.
Trade in groceries has been holding
just steady. There has been a gen
eral inclination toward lower levels

hington.-Foreign influences in
Haiti working to block plans of the
United States to pacify the republic
and rehabilitate its finances under
American supervision, have made it
necessary to declare martial law in
Port au Prince, the capital, and prac-
tically all but two of the country's
open ports.
Admiral Caperton, acting within his
general instructions, declared martial
law September 4 and explained that
his action was taken because of sit
uation which was beyond the control
of the local government.
Foreign Agents Active.
For reasons of international policy
the state department will not disclose
any of the information it has received
bearing on the subject There have
recently been persistent reports of the
activity of foreign agents and so
marked has been the effect of their
activities upon members of the Haiti

state department found it necessary
to hurry it's policy of educating the
people of Haiti to an appreciation OF
the benefits of American financial con
troll with its protection against in
sistent foreign creditors.
France is among the largest oil
Haiti's creditors, her citizens being
said to have about $20,000,000 in
Haitien national bonds besides large
mercantile and banking interests in

Provisions.
Butter-There has been a further
falling off in the output of milk with
the drying up of pasturage, and the
butter market is firmer, but no change
in the local quotations has been made
as yet. A marked enlargement in
Washington's output of dairy products
during the present year is estimated
by the state department of agricul-
ture. Washington butter has now
practically supplanted all competition
in the local markets and manufacture
ers are making active arrangements
to secure an outlet for the surplus.
Eggs-There has been an advance
to $7@s.5O for ranch stocks and some
storage eggs are already being brought
out. The average quality of receipts
is below standard.
Fresh Meats-Market is holding
comparatively quiet, with beef and
pork inclined to weakness, but NUT
ton holding at former levels. Easing
off in quotations is predicted.
Fruits ana vegetables.
Apples-The apple market is steady
with no change in quotations, the fig
ures being $3.50 for fancy and 75c
for cooking.

per pound.
Potatoes-Spuds are a trifle slow,
jobbing at s5c@$1, while sweets are
off Csc at 1925.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-The wheat market expert
enced another slump in price during
the week, and unless some means is
provided to supply transportation to
foreign markets, the decline may con-
tinue. With the wheat crop offering
the largest export total in the his
tory of the country and very little
tonnage to move it, the situation looks
rather gloomy to say the least. Eff
forts have been made by Northwest
ern growers to secure lower prices for
delivery to the Atlantic seaboard by
rail to overcome the excessive water
transportation rates, but it looks
doubtful that this can be done so as
to make the diversion profitable
Prices are rather nominal consid

lions are given at nc for bluestem

Flour-Local -four prices were eased
off another Csc Monday, making the
figures 1913 for patents and $3.50 fol-
seconds. While trade has not beer
very extensive heretofore, the lower
ing of the prices may have a tendency
to stimulate buying to some extent.
Feed-In sympathy with the declin
ing prices in wheat and flour, feed
quotations of kindred lines have also
been marked down. Bran is off from
s25 to 1923, and bran and shorts from

Food For the Farmers Brain
EGGS FOR MATCHING.

Can you look at an egg and tell if it
will hatch? Probably not, but you can
greatly increase the Matching power of
the egg by following these suggestions,
which are offered by w. A. Lippincott,
professor of poultry husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college,:
Select eggs which do not weigh less
than two ounces, rejecting all exceed
ingly large and abnormally shaped
eggs. The unusual shaped eggs will
probably hatch, but pullets raised from
such eggs will probably lay abnormal
eggs.
Never wash eggs before setting them.
Keep the eggs in a dry place at tenn
perature between So and 65 degrees,
turning them at least once every other
day. An egg in which the germ has
become fastened to the shell will sell
dom hatch. The germ spot is always
in the uppermost part of the egg, and
if the egg is not turned the germ will
stick to the shell if evaporation takes
place.
The eggs should be gathered at least
twice day unless they are to be put
into the incubator Immediately.

The Sunday School Lesson
SENIOR BEREAN

pies were waiting to seize an opportu-
nifty to attack Israel. He thus showed
true patriotism and large disinterested-
ness when he made this plea, as well
as a concern for the honor of his ia
ther and care for the welfare of his
friend. ITO theeward very good"
David's behavior up to the present time
had been consistently honorable, and
he had not failed at single point to
further the interests Of Saul, whose
obedient servant he had all along
shown himself to be. "Put his life in
his hand" He reminds Saul how Da-
vid had exposed his life in the encoun-
ter with Goliath. "The Lord wrought
a great salvation" He is careful to
ascribe the victory to the proper source.
"Sawest it and didst rejoice" Saul
himself had joined in the celebrations
and ordinations. HE shall not be
slain." He was thus persuaded to
think differently concerning David and
to change his purpose. "In his pres
ence, as in times past" A reconcilia-
ton was thus effected, and David was
restored to his rightful place as here
tofore through the intercession Of his
faithful friend Jonathan.
Verses 8-12.-A narrow escape.
The time again came when David
was called upon to fight the Philistines,
and again he scored signal victory.
He was certainly formidable oppo-
nent and more than match for the
Philistines, who "fed from him." This
was the occasion for another demon
stratfon in his honor, which incensed
Saul, whose jealousy continued to grow
daily. While "David played with his
hand' on the harp, accompanying it
! with song, the king was listening "with
his javelin in his hand'' He impul-
sively flung this weapon at David, and
had he not been alert he might have
been seriously wounded if not killed.
ITO watch him." Saul became desper-
ate, and so David was compelled to
make his escape by strategy and to get
out of his own home Through Win
dow" with the assistance of his wife,
'Michal," a daughter of the king.
Thus the messengers failed in their
attempt, and Saul was defeated in his
insane attack on the life of the man
who more than any other had saved
the honor Of the nation on several crit
ical occasions.
