THE SPOKANE MARKET.

The outstanding feature of the week
in the business situation was the max
ing public of plans of England to place
certain American firms on "black-
list" on account of their supposed con-
nection or alliance with business firms
of Germany. The government of
Great Britain has already published a
list of 80 such firms and individuals
doing business in the United States
with whom British subjects are TOR
hidden to trade.
This action on the part of England
appears to forecast a fierce trade war
after the European conflict has ended,
and it undoubtedly will have a seri-
Gus effect on this country. 1t may
possibly mean that any American firm
trading with German firms will be shut
off from business relations with the
countries now at war with Germany
and Austria.
