THE SPOKANE MARKET.

Advancing prices continue one of
the striking elements in the situation,
and tend to impart an element of I'M
certainty, while shortages continue to
develop in lines of merchandise that
serve to prove embarrassing. The
conditions have served to stimulate
fall buying to a considerable extent,
and both jobbing and retail stocks
are enlarged, in making provision
against possible shortages, and-in an
ticipation of the inclination of con-
sumers to purchase with greater free
dom, and of better grade of mer-
chandise.
Farm products have been moving
more freely, but at lower level of
prices, consequent upon the stacking
off in foreign demands, and the in
clinations of many holders to get
from under before the close of the
season.
There has been less pronounced
development in the expansion in bust
ness during the past week or two
than during April, although better
ment over the conditions prevailing a
year ago continue to be a noticeable
feature of the situation. The fact

Wheat-There has been a little
more activity in the wheat market
during the past week, due, however,
simply to the fact that growers who
have held their stocks past the period
of top quotations are, in some in
stances, becoming uncertain in their
position and have disposed of a por-
ton of it. There is a slack demand.
Export operations are impossible ex-
cept in dribbling lots sent out on line
steamships, while this is practically
lllt Only VI Oulltl dl TIE pres
ent, as requirements on the part of
the mills are generally well cared
for. Decreased acreage and reports
tending to strengthen the belief in
the heavy falling off in the coming
harvest have served to arrest the
downward tendency in wheat prices
at speculative centers, and to reas
sure holders to some extent in their
position of confidence, despite the
certainty that the carry-over will be
considerably greater than normal. The
Irish instruction has tended to dis
turb foreign demands, inasmuch as
this storm center is the point of des
tination of the bulk of our European
exports.
Flour-Trade is holding at an ever
keel. The indicated advances pre-
viously announced were premature
and values are still at the levels pre-
viously prevailing. Demand is sea
sonable, but without pronounced spec
ulative features. Export is quiet anC
unsettled.
Feed - Feedstuffs have made NJ
radical changes within the past week
There have been rather better de
mands for oats from outside sources

Barley is comparatively easy at pres
ent high figures.

COMMENT ON NOTE
EACH TAKES A RAP AT BOTH THE
KAISER AND THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES.
DISSIMILAR TEMPERAMENTS
Editor Harden Says Berlin Has Taken
First Step From MiIitarism into
Craftsmanship by Decision
Take Wilson Too Seriously.

Berlin.-Two writer's of absolutely
dissimilar temperament and political
schools, Professor Hans Delbrueck of
the University of Berlin, and Maximil-
ian Harden, editor of Die Zukunft, in
commenting on the interchange of
notes between Germany and the Uni
ted States, express the highest salts
faction that the difficulties are appar-
emily settled. Both voice the sharpest
criticism of the tone of the notes, par
ticularly the concluding ones
Professor Delbrueck appeals to Ger
mans not to take President Wilson's
phrases too seriously. He says:
Remember the provocation. Remem-
ber too, that the note Is dictated by
the need of scoring a success at this
particular juncture and that scolding
is not incompatible with President
Wilson's intent to enforce the fulfill
ment of he declaration of July "a, that
the American government will contin-
ue to fight for the freedom of the seas,
which ever side is endangered, with
out compromise and at whatever cost"
Crtcizes German Attitude.
Macmillan Harden, on the other
hand, devotes attention to the Ger
man reply. He says that no interna-
tional document can be successful
when two-thirds of it ais twisted into
the service of home politics" and de-
clares that the tone is about on the
level with that of the Sussex note. He
asserts that the inclusion of COM
plants about Great Britain's starving
policy was a grave tactical error
Herr Harden has taken as the text
OF his sermon 1.-THE Unsuccessful Sol
der, Napoleon; the Unsuccessful
Statesman, Bismarck" and says:
THE abyss between militarism and
craftsmanship was never more evil
dent than in the conflicting view
points of the school favoring the I'M
limited use of the torpedo and that
endeavoring to avoid a breach with
the United States. Even if the as
sumptions of the first school were cor
rect peace brought by the unsparing
use of submarines and dirigibles could
only have been a triumph of day and
spelled the utter isolation and waste
ing away of Germany.
Germany has taken the first step
from militarism into craftsmanship by
its decision in the American problem
and now should go forward on this
path, which is the only one leading to
a lasting peace"
The Tages zeitung and the Kreuz
Zeitung express bitter indignation
over Secretary Lansing's declaration
regarding a reckoning with Great
Britain. Most of the papers are con-
tent to dismiss the subject.

Government Crop Report.

Half a billion bushels is the win
ter wheat harvest forecast for this
year by the department of agriculture
in its May crop report. That is 1885,
100000 bushels less than harvested
last year, when a worlds record crop
was gathered in the United States,
but the crop this year is growing on
much smaller acreage. In all, A..
$4,000 acres were abandoned, leav
ing for harvest 33,03O,OOO acres, 7,433,
600 less than harvested last year.
The condition of winter wheat on
May 1 was S2.4 per cent of a nor
NAL, compared with 1873 on April
last, 92.9 on May l last year and SIS,
the 10-year May l average. That con-
dition is indicative of a yield of 1871
bushels an acre, compared with 16.2
bushels harvested last year, and 10
bushels in 1914.
The large reduction in acreage
sown last fall was attributed partly
to unfavorable weather for seeding,
tangled condition of much corn land
which otherwise would have been
sown to wheat, some fear of the Hes
sian fly and to large supplies of
wheat on hand.
A wet, cold fall, causing poor seed
beds and poor start for wintering, re-
suited in a low condition this spring
Much of the crop was sown late and
the Hessian fly was reported present
and active in many sections of the
southern part of the winter wheat
belt. Climatic conditions were harder
on late sown, the winter covering
was lighter than usual and the injury
from freezing and thawing greater
than in previous years.

Imported feathers are still very
scarce and high, and the demands much
in excess of the stocks on hand. Sew
eral reasons are attributed for this ron
dition, but one Of the more recent is
given as the lack of ships with which
to haul the merchandise from the for
eign markets. 1t has been stated that
vast amount of leather in foreign
countries lies ready for delivery with
no means of getting it across the water.
Action is to be taken urging a larger
merchant marine and some means of
relieving the situation soon.
