THE SPOKANE MARKET.

Measured in aggregate results, the
first half of 1916 shows a notable gain
over the initial six months of 1915.
The improvement permeates through
Wholesale and retail trade has expand.
ed substantially in every section of
the country. Commercial failures for
cent less in number than for the same
time last year. There has been an
enormous expansion in the volume of
foreign trade and our balance in ex.
ports over imports has been substan.
TALLY augmented. We have received
$75,00O,000 in gold from abroad to add
to our monetary strength. Bank clear.
ings have increased in large measure,
while the stability of our financial sit.
uation has been established to point
that is regarded as the most satisfac.
tory in the history of the country.
Provisions.
Butter-The market holds at the
previous price. Production has been of
record proportions, due to the favor
able pasture conditions. Trade is about
normal. At Chicago the market was
in rather unsatisfactory shape and
trading generally was rather dull. Re-
ceipts were about the same, but prices
being considered too high, dealers were
unable to clear. Creamery extras
quoted at 271Ac.
Cheese-The undertone of the mar
ket has strengthened, partly due to
storage operations, but as yet no change
in quotations have been noted.
Eggs-The supply has been we'll
maintained to date and from present
indications there will be an increase
in receipts for the next few weeks,
with an easing off in the tone of the
market. A good demand continued in
the Chicago market and, with de-
creased receipts, the market showed a
firm feeling.
Dressed Meats-The market is steady
at the decline noted last week and
probably will hold around the present
level as long as the war among the
retailers continues.
Poultry-Suplies of chickens were
pretty we'll cleaned up the fore part of
the week due to the holiday, and prices
are on about the same level as last
week, although in some quarters there
is an inclination to shade values.
Lard and Cured Meats-Cured meats
are unchanged throughout the list, al
though lard shows comparatively
firm undertone.

ferings is excellent, with quotations
down to $1.50@1.75 per box. Now is
the time to can, say the jobbers.
Other Fruits-Cherries are a little
easier with sour quoting at $1@1.25
per crate, 10-pound boxes 75c@$1 and
20-pound at $4,000. Cots are down to
$1.50, while plums are little firmer
at $1.5O@1.75. Peaches are easier at
$1@1.15, as is also cants at $1@3.
Currants are $3.50 for the red and
$1.75 for the black. In raspberries, the
berries are offered at 81, and water
melon is off 7sc at 21sc per pound
Potatoes-The cleanup price on the
old spud supply is $1.25@1.50, and
there will be no more after this week.
New stocks are getting very plentiful,
but still hold firm in price, the quota
ton this week being &c per pound. Old
stocks at Chicago have passed into his
tory and the new variety firmed up
after weak opening.
Other Vegetables-Green onions are
off SC at zoe per dozen punches, and
string beans are also down at 7@10c
per pound. Parsley is off the market
and root beets are easier at $2@2.50
per cwt. Tomatoes are now quoting
by the box at 81, the crate quotation
still holding at $1.25.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-While the wheat market is
in a comatose condition normally at
the season, further impeachment to
operations has been imposed by the
waterfront strike on the coast, which
not only prevents the movement of
any outward shipments, but has shut
off exports of flour and curtailed oper-
atoms on the part of the mills. Spot
quotations are lower, bluestem being
down to 85c, with club at 77c There
has been a trifle more strength to the
general situation during the past few
days, due to an advance in Paris, and
the usual speculative influences result
ant from the possibilities of war, but
the general weakening of values has
maintained during the past week.
Flour-Market conditions are un-
changed on local patents. Export mills
have been forced to shut down in some
instances, owing to the strike situa-
ton, while outward shipments by wa
ter from the coast have ceased. Hard
winter f1ours are easier.
Feed-Feedstuffs are holding at
about midsummer conditions, with no
notable changes in the market. AL
falfa has been marked down another
50, making the quotation SIG.

MINING NOTES

A smeltermen's union was organ
lied at Northport, Wash, with more
than 100 members, recently. The
union is a branch Of the Western
Federation of Miners.
An important factor contributing
to the increased output of mineral in
the northwest is the large number
of mills and concentrators which
have gone into operation this year or
are expected to do SO before the
close of 1916.
George Turner, president of the
Constitution Mining company, owning
and operating the mine of that name
on Pine creek, in the Occur d'Alenes,
has announced that plans for con-
contractor of 100 tons daily capacity
are being prepared, and it is expected
that the plant will be in operation
within 80 days after the plans are
completed.
W. B. Poole of Spokane and asso-
ciates have taken from William Boyd
of Halcyon, B. c., bond and lease on
the Revenue group of claims located
at Camborne, about five miles north of
the upper end of the upper Arrow
lake. The amount involved in the
transaction is stated to be $4,000. The
property consists of four claims and is
a silver-lead proposition.

Real Americanism.

Ellis B. Usher: No equally momen-
tous election has occurred since 1864,
when Mr. Lincoln was sustained after
long months Of intrigue attack, some
OF which centered in his own cabinet.
The losers may spend their time, if
they like, in recriminations. They
may try to locate the hole that engulfed
them, out to the American whose love
OF liberty and belief in the free institu-
tions Of this country transcends all
other considerations, there is a deeper
meaning and a profound satisfaction
That satisfaction rests on the supreme
demonstration that all assaults,
whether of race, class, religious bigotry
or fractional politics, were swallowed
up in result so broad, so far reaching.
and so emphatic of the spirit Of the real
American freeman, that all else dis
appears into the rubbish heap of a most
unrighteous campaign against the gov
eminent of the United States. The
people of the west understood They
have demonstrated their faith, and their
lack Of fear. They know that the
country is safe, because they will in
sure it.
