MARKET AT SPOKANE.

There is but one dominant, allpre.
vailing feature in the jobbing and re.
tail situation at the present time, and
that is the boosting Of values for mer.
chandise. In a record-breaking up.
ward movement all records hare been
shattered during the past fortnight,
in the range of commodities covered
and in the extent to which quotations
have been boosted. This is pecul-
iarly noted in the foodstuffs line, that
is characteristic Of practically all
branches of trade, and presents the
most serious possible problem for the
merchant.
In monetary measurement business
is running under high pressure mark,
and there is fairly sustained tom
mage of distribution, although, as the
inevitable result Of prevailing condi-
tions, curtailment Of purchases In
many directions Is being enforced

Poultry An easier market on
springers is noted at 12@13c live
weight. Market is plentifully sup.
piled and receipts are mostly small
and not in good condition. Indica-
lions are that turkeys will be high
and scarce for the holiday trade.
Lard and Cured Meats-Pork prod

bacon. Lard is up 1c and is quoted
at TIC.
Hides and Wool = No further
changes have been made in this d.
vision as to prices, which are high
and firmly held at the advance noted
last week.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-Apples, while showing a
stronger undertone, are relatively a
cheap product at the present range
and are expected to strengthen later.
A very good apple is jobbing at a
dollar, with a range up to $1.35 for
fancy, while cookers are holding

little easier, and in some instances

the market showed an easier tone,
but prices held about the same.
Other Vegetables Cabbage is up
about soc, being quoted at $2@2.5O

tables, parsnips are quoted at $1.5O
ler cwt., as are also beets, carrots
and turnips.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-The market has taken an
other sharp advance during the week,
caused, it is said, by the big export
demand. Locally, the price is up
about &c, making the quotations at
the moment for bluestem $1.54, club
$1.47 and red Russian $1.44. In spite
Of the high price, there is not much
selling, and the movement is of very
small proportions owing to the diff
ficulty in getting cars.
Flour-Patents are still firm at
present quotations with dealers gen.
orally we'll provided against future
wants. The export situation is
spotted.
Feed-No price changes are noted
this week, and the advances noted
last week are firmly held, oats being
especially firm.

In the discussion it was proved that
there were twice as many who attend
the public schools as the churches. It
was also brought out by the affirmative
that there were nearly twice as many
who attend church as there were public
schools. It was further shown by the
affirmative that religion was the first
thought OF our Pilgrim Fathers, rather
than education Out of thirty five in the
