General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: 1t is still note
worthy that existing uncertainties
have scarcely a discernible influence
on the course of legitimate business,
which, with few exceptions, reflects
sustained activity and in some of its
more important branches show further
augmentations. Distinct gains appear
in steel and iron and in copper, as
well as in dry goods, and it is signifi-
cant of conditions in widely divergent
lines and sections that producers are
either not in a position or are disin-
clined to accept all the contracts Of
fered.
The prevailing high prices and the
inability of many manufacturers to
give definite assurances of prompt de-
liveries, combine to deter buying con
siderably, but in most cases forward
commitments continue notably large
and are characterized by an almost en-
tire absence of speculative tendencies

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

Butter-Due to the drying up of pas
turage and the curtailment of the
cream supply, jobbers put into effect
last Saturday morning seasonable
advance on butter of &c per pound,
which makes the quotation for Wash
ington creamery 30@33c.
Eggs-Market is very firm at last
weeks quotations of $S@S.50 to the
producers and $9@9.5O wholesale.
Market at New York opened weak, but
recovered and fresh stocks brought
high prices. Fancy fresh stock con-
tinues scarce at Chicago.
Dressed Meats-Beef and mutton are
both easier, the former declining from
s@11hc to s@1Oc and the latter from
11@14c to HOBO, while pork adj
vanced from 11@17c to 11@fsc. Hogs
are very firm and advancing, while
beef is easier.
Lard and Cured Meats-Both hams
and bacon very firm, quotations being
fraction higher in some cases. Lard
is up 1c at 14c.
Poultry-The only change in quota
tions noted is a decline on broilers of
&c, making the price to the producers
live weight Ice. Receipts have kept
up well in spite of the harvest season,
and the market is well supplied.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-Movement is becoming more
enlarged and varieties increased with
quality better. No change as yet has
been noted in quotations, which are
65@1.5O.
Other Fruits-Fancy oranges are
little firmer at $475@5.0O, while
peaches are easier at 6O@1.0O. Pears
are also easier and quoting at $1,000
200. Declines are also noted in water
melon at 1Ac per pound and grapes
at $1.5O@1.75 per crate.
Potatoes-Local spuds are getting
very plentiful and a decline is noted
this week from $1.5O@1.75 to $1,000
.25 per cwt. The market at Chicago
opened easier, but firmed up later.
Offerings were moderate and of good
quality. Trade was satisfactory.
Other Vegetables-Dry onions are
easier at S2@$2.25, declining from
$2.25@2.5O. Cauliflower is up from 81
to $1@1.75. Declines are also noted
on tomatoes at 5O@75c, celery at 9Oc
0$1 and corn at 10000.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-The market has taken an
other sharp advance during the week,
going up about ten points. There has
been a considerable quantity of wheat
changed hands on the rising market
and movement was of fairly good vol
ume the fore part of the week. Later
holders tightenend up, some evident
ly thinking the market would go still
higher In some quarters it is assert
ed that sudden bulge in the market
has all the ear-marks of speculative
activities. Harvesting is going for
ward in the Inland Empire, with re-
suits generally exceeding previous ex-
pectations. At the moment, quota
tions are given at $1.17 for bluestem,
$1.13 for club and SLIP for red Rus
sian.
Flour-No further advances have
been noted in the flour market since
the advance of soc per barrel noted
last week and business in consequence
of the high figures is on about hand
to-mouth basis.
Feed-Feedstuffs are generally firm
in sympathy with the advance in
wheat. Advances in price are noted
in feed wheat at $40, barley at $34,
oats at $31 and corn at $42. Bran is
off 81 at 500.
