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
unemployment of workingmen who
have been out of work and this has
resulted in a much better feeling. Con-
ditions throughout the South are much
better than anyone had any reason to
believe they would be at this time.
Butter-A further decline of 1c per
pound is reported in the butter mar
ket this week, bringing the range on
Washington creamery down to 25@2Sc.
Eggs-There has been no change in
the local egg situation as to prices,
the figures still being $4,000 with
supplies plentiful and demand holding
up well.
Poultry-The market on hens is off
1c this week at 13c live weight and
15@17c dressed due to the increased
supplies coming to hand and the slack
ening of demands. BOOSTERS hold
steady at former quotations.
Dressed Meats-The market remains
the same as for the past two or three
weeks as to prices with the exception
of spring lamb which is a little firmei
at 16@17c. The general tone of the
market is steady with demands fairly
good. In live stock sheep are showing
a firmer feeling, quotations being
$7Qs.
Cured Meats-There has been no new
developments in the smoked meat de
partment during the week. Prices re
main at the same level as last week
but on the whole the market shows
stronger tone with indications of in
creased demands.
Hides and Wool-The market
practically featureless and no pric
changes are noted with the exception
of a slight decline in the quotation o.
full wool pelts from l2@14c to 11Q13S
Apples-There are no new develoI
ments in the local apple situation
Stocks are getting pretty well cleane
up and quotations hold at the sam
, trend as for some time past, rangin
from soc to $100 according to qualit.
Strawberries-Quot on Cal
fornia fruit are the same as last weel
S2.25 per crate, while Kennewick, Pa
2 co and Oregon stocks are quoted g
$3.50 per crate, the latter figure bein

TRANSPORTATION NOTES.

The opening of the Cello canal has
already resulted in a reduction of rs
cents per ton in the freight rate on
wheat from Umatilla county river
points to Portland, according to an
nouncement made by The Dalles-Co-
lumbia Co., which is putting steamers
on the river. The reduction means an
increase of more than two cents per
bushel to the growers.
Navigation on the Columbia river
between Wenatchee and Pateros has

ago. The steamer Douglas will make
the run daily from Wenatchee to Che
Ian and every other day the trip will
be made to Pateros. The owners ex
pect to handle both freight and pas
sengers and will stop anywhere along
the route. The Douglas is a new boat
and is fitted with the most improved

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 a 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 it becomes available.
Flour-There is a slight improve
ment in the flour trade, Dat it does not
bring conditions out of the dun col
umn.
| Feed-The demand for millfeed is
; good and the market is showing q
Z very strong tone. Buyers in all direc
lions 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 anC
. the demand for prompt shipment of
ferings is only fair. The oats marke
was featureless throughout the week
with only a limited demand for th'
very light offerings. Big holders were

Big Passenger Capacity.

The Lusitania had accommodations
for $50 first-class passengers, 500 sec
ond-class and 1900 third-class.
The launching of the Lusitania on
June Z, 1906, at Clyde Bank, was at
tended with elaborate ceremonies. AS
she left the ways she was christened
by the Dowager Lady Inverclyde. On
her trial trip on June q she attained
a speed of % knots.
The vessel left on her maiden trip
on September Z, 1907. This voyage
was heralded as a race for the worlds
record and the wireless dispatches
marking her progress were followed
with keenest interest. German steam
ship companies said that her time of
five days "a minutes was not in reality
a record, faster average having been
made from Hamburg to New York.
No exact comparison was possible
owing to the difference in the routes
but the Lusitania's claim to the fastest
run from Queenstown was undisputed
When the Lusitania reached New
York on her first trip decorated with
bunting from stem to stern she was
welcomed by cheering thousands.

The Lusitania was product of the

for many years among transatlantic

speed, was undisputed.

ENGLISH APPLE MAN
ISSUES WARNING

}. Oliver, a member of the firm of
Dan Wulle & Co, apple handlers of
London, Eng, who was here last week
with A. f. Woolpert, of White Salmon,
warns the shippers of American apples
not to glut the English market this
season. According to the English apple
merchant, fruit that could have been
handled to better advantage in domes.
tic markets last year was shipped to
England, thus glutting the trade there.
II have no doubt. says MIR. Oliver,
but that we will be able to get as
much fruit across the Atlantic this
year as we wish. 1t has been said that
we will be hampered because we will
be unable to reship from England to
continental markets. Fruit reshipped
on former years has heen negligible in
quantity"
MIR. Woolpert, who is buying in this
district for the English firm, saws that
he expects to handle handsome block
of apples from the Columbia dis

30 Year Old Pencil Marks Legible

Thirty.year-old pencil marks on trees
in the forests of Hood River county are
just as legibile as the day they were

cruising timber holdings for the county
court.

corners" says MIR. Rand, 81 find the
pencied name of W. l.. Clark. The

Protected thus from winter storms
and sunshine of summer, the name has

Mr. Clark, at the time he wrote his
name on the trees, was assisting his

the government, in laying out the Sec

of the county.
