THE SPOKANE MARKET.

The general business situation has
undergone but little change during
the past week. The crop outlook ia
better, owing to the more seasonable
weather conditions prevailing in prac-
tically all sections of the country, the
week having been what farmers call
the best kind Of growing weather.
The Mexican situation is substan-
TALLY the same as last week, although
actual war seems less imminent, on
account of the conciliatory note of
Carranza in his reply to the ultima
tum of the United States. In conser-
vative circles it is not believed that
war will ensue between the two coun-
tries.
There is a wide divergence of opin-
ion as to the immediate effect Of
cessation of hostilities in Europe on
the business interests of this country.
1t is held by some that, owing to the
reorganization of industries on a
much more efficient basis by the ma
costs of production and that there
fore, they will become dangerous
competitors Of American manufactur-
ers.
Others in more optimistic mood, APP
parently, declare that all of the war
ring nations will for long period be
impoverished of supplies and that the
only place they can get them will be
the United States, presaging an in
definite continuance Of the present
prosperous conditions.
Provisions
Butter-The market still holds at
previous quotations Of 27@30c for
Washington creamery, with supplies
adequate to meet demands. s
Eggs-Further strengthening of the
egg market was noted this week and
the wholesale price advanced to So,
with the price to producers varying
from $3.50 to $6.75, loss off.
Dressed Meats-No material change
has been noted in the meat situation
as to prices, but the consumptive de-
mand has fallen of in some quarters,
although the warning factions con-
tinue to report big output. From re-
ports, it Is probable that the present
unsatisfactory situation will soon be
adjusted on basis agreeable to all
concerned.
Poultry-Quotations still hold at the
same figures as last week, but the
market is a little stronger and the
demand more brisk.
Lard and Cured Meats-Quotation
are still maintained on smoked meats,
they having not as yet been plunged
into the war. Lard is also firm at

PROPOSAL PLEASES FORD
Germany's Move Exactly What We
Wanted 10 Accomplish" He Says


Detroit. Dec. II. commenting on
Germany's peace proposal to the Allies
through the neutral powers, Henry
Ford, who took the famous peace ship,
Oscar II, to Europe in an attempt TO
get the boys out of the trenches by
Christmas" expressed the keenest
qualification this evening.
This is exactly what we wanted to
accomplish" said Mr.. Ford. There IS
no possibility of any one winning the
war. and why prolong it with the awful
suffering that it entails? In my opln-
ion this is the logical time for peace
proposals. and the movement should be
applauded around the world.
ave have been working along these
lines in our peace conference. and per
haps we have made some progress that
shows itself in this way
"Neyer having been invaded. 1t seems
TO me that offers Of peace come most
properly from Germany
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-12-13

peace PROPOSALS were reasonable. in
view of the present military situation.
Frederic K. Coudert said that he did
not believe that Germany's offer was
the forerunner Of peace.
Issues Still in Doubt
"The issues Of the war have not
been settl.d.' he pointed out. No
peace can - permanent until they are
determined and the Allies will not
enter into peace which has not in 1t
the elements of permanency. No peace
that ignores the causes Of the war can
be real peace. II can only be halt
in hostilltics.
"The status quo ante -bellum cannot
be restored. The death Of several mill
ions Of men, endless misery and deyas-
tation have made such a thing lmpossl-
bic. There must be reparatlon made
in as far as money can pay for the
damage done, and there must be guar
antees for the future. These guaran-
tees cannot exist until the state OF
mind called Prussianism has been
eliminated. The governing class in
Germany knows that it will be beaten,
and the present offer is an attempt to
shift the ojium of the war upon her
opponents"
Henry Clews said: at looks to ne
like permanent peace and explained
that he believed the alteration of the
English and French cabinets were
moves in that direction.
81 hope peace, but not an incorclu-
sive peace, will come of the proposal"
said Frank a. Nanderlip.
