SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.

There are no radical changes in
trade conditions. The backward spring
has proven a detriment to progress
in some directions. Severe frosts
have worked considerable damage to
the fruit crop all over the Pacific
Northwest. Peaches and pears are
badly injured, and canning operations
will undoubtedly be curtailed. Losses
to apple growers are probably over
estimated, as the freeze will serve
the purpose of thinning out the fruit,
necessary process to insure the best
results.
Eggs are now higher than at this
time last year, due to scarcity, and
indications are that both butter and
eggs will see higher prices this fall
and winter than in several years.
Sugar-Sugar has touched the sac
level. This commodity is now fully
&c over the normal and approximately
double the low price of periods Of de-
pressed values. How long such
Provisions.
Butter-There has been no change
in the local butter market as to
prices, but the undertone of the sit
uation is strong. New York market
firm and higher, with some scarcity
of creamery stock. Chicago reports
heavy receipts but market steady.
Situation holds steady. While
there has been no further advances,
the undertone of the market is strong
and trending upwards. Egg values at
New York are firm and Chicago notes
an advance.
Dressed Meats-The market is rul-
eral offerings has been around the top
in the Pacific Northwest. Hogs are
still ruling high, with pork unchanged.
Receipts Of mutton are still rather
light and other quotations are about
the same.
Lard and Cured Meats-Following
the recent furry on hams and bacon,
the market has steadied down and
there has been no changes in quota
tions for some time, while some inn
provement is noted in offerings Bust.

mains at the recent advance.

Apples-The apple situation in the

to stocks. There are few small size

quite fair amount Of cookers to be
had at 81. New York apple market
reported firm and higher, with re-

Other Fruits-Oranges are little

states that while a very great deal
has been heard of the enormous rise
in the price of food and other ne

Germany and other enemy countries,
little attention has been paid to the
very great increase in the cost Of liv-
ing in London.
The following list of prices has
been specially compiled in locality
where the population is thick and the
competition especially keen. Even a
cursory glance at them shows that
everyday necessities like bread,
onions, firewood, coal, cheese, milk,
soda, soap and matches all show an
increase of from Is to 100 per cent.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Is COLLECTING DATA
ON DRY DOCKS HERE

The collection of data by the Cham

STABILITY of locating dry docks along
the gulf coast, with particular refer
ence to Pensacola, will probably be
commenced at once and viii constitute
the report on the committee appoint
ed by congress in 1918 to investigate
the facilities and advantages of this
port.
The entire report is on file at the
Chamber of Commerce, and is claimed
to be all that can be said in favor
of this port as a location for yards
and docks. An exhaustive investi-
CATION was made at the time by the
commission, and the result was that
Pensacola was recommended very
highly as the proper site for extern
sive naval equipment.
The information will be sent to the
navy board at the request of Admiral
J. M. Helm, who is investigating the
advisability of locating additional
yards on the gulf, Atlantic and Paci-
4
| fic coasts. The commission was ap-
pointed in accordance with an act OF
congress authorizing the investiga-
ton, and is composed of Chief Con-
structor Capps, Civil Engineer H. Il.
Rossnau, Captain McElroy and Com
mander Hussey.
The duties of the commission, as
defined in the act, are confined TO in
vestigating and reporting upon the
ACCESSIBILITY of improving existing or
establishing an additional navy yard
or station on the Atlantic coast south
of Hatteras, or on the Gulf coast, or
in the caribbean sea, of character
adequate for the protection OF that
section of the country.
| The commission is also ordered TO
investigate suitable sites for the loca-
ton of submarine and aviation bases
on the Atlantic coast, the Gulf coast,
or on the Pacific coast, as well as the
cost.

An Interview with
JOHN J. McGRAW


John McGraw will not take part in
the 1916 Championship Series. But
he has piloted five clubs into PEN
nantville and he was master player
on that renowned old team, the BaIti-
more Orioles. What he has to say
on pennant winning in general is the
opinion of a high-class expert.
4eIt is getting to be about the most
difficult job in the world to win a
pennant. Not that it was ever easy,
but it gets harder all the time. The
competition is keener and the man.
ager is under a heavier strain.
"In the old days a club had only
one or two extra players, and an out
fielder might be on first base and a
pitcher in the outfeld when not
otherwise occupied. But nowadays
with the abundance of substitutes it
is a close problem to win games.
Pitchers aren't knocked out of the
box any more. Let a man start to
show signs of distress and he is
promptly yanked for another. 1t
takes pretty nearly perfect pitching
| to get by in the major leagues nova
days.
"Why I remember game when
/ was playing on the Baltimore ORR
oles when the opposing club scored
thirteen runs off our pitcher in the
first inning. We wanted to take him
out, but he said no, that he would
settle down all right and we left him
/ in. And he did settle down. They
didn't score any more runs and we
finally won the game by score of
fourteen to thirteen. But what
chance would pitcher have nova
days to settle down if they scored
thirteen runs in the first inning?

keenness of competition and the
