SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

isfactory, indicating that the bust
ness activities of the country are on
the upgrade. Advices from the CEN
trail west, and, indeed, practically all
agricultural sections, indicate pros
perity, while the industrial forces of
the country are, in the main, making
an excellent showing, in spite of the
fact that the condition is not uni
form, as applied to all branches of
manufacture.

the Pacific Northwest business situa-
ton. In most respects the trend of
development are of favorable char
acter, and progress is being made
along satisfactory lines, alt GU gh

some import and productive and dis
tributive channels. While wheat has
lost portion of it's recent advances,
partly owing to the slump in eastern
markets, and partly due to the new
record mark reach d in freight
charges for shipment to Europe, the
general trend of prices during the
week has been in the direction of
stronger levels.
