General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: Requirements
are so extensive that productive and
transportation facilities are made
quate to meet current demands. Con-
gestion of freight still prevails at the
seaboard and, though railroads have
made additions to rolling stock, do
nestle deliveries are increasingly
difficult. This condition tends to
further enhance the cost of commodi-
ties, while industrial expansion is
checked at several points through in
ability to obtain raw materials.
Except in isolated cases, there is
no evidence that high prices are as
yet lessening consumption, and it is
significant that the prevailing dispo-
sition is still to contract ahead. Many
travelling statesmen are sending in
larger orders than usual and in some
sections, notably in the southwest
forward business is developing with
exceptional rapidity. All signs point
to an active spring trade. Weekly

GAINS REPORTED
BY THE GERMANS
a DETERMINED OFFENSIVE MOVE
MENT ALONG THE ENTIRE
WESTERN FRONT.
ALLIES LINES BADLY DENIED
Teutons Win Along River Somme and
in Artois Region-French Make
Denials of Same-The Russians
Report Successes.

London.-The western front has
been the scene of really heavy fight
ing, the Germans having launched
determined offensive there. After ma
king last week several dents in the
entente allies lines, which had been
Strengthened out again in whole or in
part by counter-attacks, the Teutons
after heavy bombardments, assaulted
the allied positions along a front of
several miles south of the river Som
me, and to the northeast of Melville
in the Artois region.
The attack resulted, according to
Berlin, in sweeping gains in both of
the cases, the village of Frise and 1000
yards of trenches south of it being Ia
ken in the more southerly section, and
in the Melville region 1900 yards of
trenches were stormed, the gains be-
ing nearly a mile and a half of front.
Incidentally, more than 100 prisoners
and % machine guns were taken.
The French account of the fighting
in the south of the Somme differs ma
terially from that given by Berlin 1t
is declared that the Germans failed in
their attack except on the bank of the
Somme, where they were able to drive
detachment of French troops out of
the village of Frise. Paris asserts that
the attack has been checked and that
some of the trenches lost were recov
cred.
Elsewhere than on the Franco-Bel
gian front there have been no impor
tant engagements recently so far as
the official reports show, except thai
in the Caucasus the Russians claim t.
have scored material successes agains
the Turks.
Russians Cease for a Time.
London.-After having driven tn.
Turks from a region about 40 miles
in length in Asiatic Turkey to the ives
of Lake Van, and put them to retrea
down the Mush valley, the Russian
seemingly have ceased their opera
tions in this particular visinity for tn
winter.

Washington. - The nomination by
President Wilson of Louis d. Brandeis
to the supreme court has stirred up a

BIG REVIVAL AT SPOKANE.
Lyon Evangelical Meetings Begin Feb
ruary 7, Lasting Several weeks.

Lyon Evangelical Meetings Begin Feb
ruary z, Lasting Several weeks.
Spokane-A large crew of men, in
Guiding most of the ministers and lay
men from the different Spokane
churches, is at work constructing the
great union tabernacle to house the
Lyon evangelical meetings. The build
ing is designed to seat 5000 people.
Provision will be made for a chorus
choir of 500 to 500 voices, which is to
be recruited from singers of the city
churches. DIR. Milford H. Lyon, recog-
nized as one of the great evangelists
of the country, and his party of ten
assistants, are coming to Spokane to
open a six or eight weeks campaign
beginning Sunday afternoon, February
o. The party includes musical direc.
tor and other musicians forming the
tabernacle quartet, each of whom also
have charge of some special branch OF
the campaign effort, a business man
ager, man to conduct shop meetings
and women to conduct special meet
ings for women and girls.
Probably no meeting or no move
ment which has come to Spokane since
the great Billy Sunday meetings eight
years ago, has been anticipated witt
greater expectancy than is the coming
of the Lyon party.

the upward trend in prices, the grow
ers seem to be more inclined to let
go of their holdings, and as a re-
suit, the movement has been of larg
er proportions than for some time.
Yet from estimates there is still con-
siderable wheat in the country. With
the going into effect of lower rates
to the east a noticeable movement
resulted in that direction, and it is
probable that more would have been
shipped had transportation facilities
been in better condition. Quotations
at the moment are $1.02 for blue
stem, CSC for club and 92c for red
Russian.
Flour-All grades of local -four
were advanced -25c per barrel with
the opening of business Monday,
which makes the quotation on firsts
1918 per barrel and seconds $3.50
1t is likely that if wheat prices con
tinue to soar that flour will follow
the trend. With the market in this
unsettled condition, the trade is tax
ing only enough to cover require
ments.
Feed-In sympathy with grain and
flour prices, the market on feed il
held at very firm figures, and IL
some lines supplies are very limited
AS to price changes during the week
advances are noted in millfeed anC
feed wheat, all being advanced s.
per ton.

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

With the passing of the initial
month of the current year, while condi-
lions show no radical change, the SEN
timent of optimism is augmented by
the developments and favorable out
look presented for expansion in pro-
ductive activities and consumptive re-
quirements, with the passing of the
period when quiet is ordinarily feat
ure of the situation
The most notable developments
continue to be shown in the wheat
market, as for some time, and the ad-
vances have again been radical during
the past two weeks, carrying flour and
the entire line of cereal products in
the wake of the upward movement.
Butter-The strength of the local
butter market remains at about the
same level as for some time past,
and supplies are adequate for the de-
mands at ruling quotations of $40
SAC.
Cheese - The market still holds
very firm with a noticeable shortage
in some lines. Quotations range from
2O1ac to 25c.
Eggs-The return of colder wealth
er has given a firmer tone to the
egg market with a stiffening OF
prices in some quarters, but on the
whole figures are maintained at $3.50
Q1050 for fresh ranch, while stOr-
age have advanced SOC at $3.50.
Fresh Meats-No further advance
has been noted in fresh meat prices
during the week, but the market is
held firm at present quotations. 1t
is probable that conditions will re-
main as at present, for a time at
least, as a result of the importation
of Canadian beef. ...
Lard and Cured Meats-The mar
ket holds firm at present figures fol
pork products, with supplies ade
quate to cover requirements. There
has been on change in the lard sit
uation during the week.
Hides and Wool - Quotations Oh
hides and wool remain at the same
level as last week and there has mo-
been much change in the genera
conditions of the market, which is il
a rather unsatisfactory condition.
Apples-Not much change has beer
noted in the local apple market dur
ing the week, although the assert
ment of stocks is getting rather mar
rowed, but prices are well main
tanned at $1.25@1.75 for fancy, Will,
cookers are a little firmer at 81. De
mand was only fair on barr @
stocks at Chicago and prices hell
fairly steady on fine fruit.
Other Fruits-Oranges are the prin
cipal fruit on the market, and tn
quality is of the best. Prices re
main at the same level as for sey
eral weeks. The only change as t
prices in the fruit line is a Sigh
decline in the quotation on grape
fruit, at $4.25Q4.50 per case
Potatoes-The local market sti
holds firm at $1.25Q1.50 owing
the limited supplies coming to hanC
but it is predicted that with bette
weather conditions, there will be
break in the market. Sweets ar
frmer in price at $2.75 per cwt.
4 Other Vegetables - Cauliflower
, easier at $3.50 per dozen, while DIR
, onions are firmer at $1.50Q2.50 pc
cwt. Hothouse lettuce is down
81 per box, while root vegetables ar
firmer at $1.15Q1.25 per cwt. d.
nestle garlic is little firmer at
= @1211c. Spinach is off the marke

characterized the wheat market fC
: the past several weeks is still mai

cents is noted for this week. Wit

Approach Of FoaIIno Time.

With the approach of foaling time
the grain ration of the mare should
be decreased. Use feeds such as bran
and roots, as they are valuable. A
roomy box stall OF an open grassy lot
is almost imperative. After foaling
the mare should not be worked for
from ten to fifteen days, and then
but lightly.
