MARKET AT SPOKANE.

Butter-No change is noted in the
butter market as to prices, and the
market is ruling strong at the recent
advance, with fair receipts for the
season and demands slightly better.
Eggs-No further advances have
taken place in the egg market since
the upward trend noted recently, but
the situation is very firm, with sup
plies rather limited and demands
holding good considering the price
level.
Dressed Meats-The pork situation
is still very firm, although not quite
so much as last week. While beef has
not undergone any change in quota
lions, the market is inclined to be a
little firmer, while mutton is ruling at
about the same level as last week.
Poultry-Market is ruling at about
the same level, with supplies coming
to hand in about the same proper
ton heretofore and demands pick
ing up some.
Lard and Cured Meats-In sympathy
with the strong hog market, cured
meats are holding very firm, but there
has been no change in quotations dur
ing the past week. Lard has been
marked up another cent, making the
quotation 15c, and strong at the ad-
vance.
Hides and Wool-Quotations are
holding firm at present levels and
some activity is manifested in the
market due to receipts usual during
the harvest season.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples-The summer varieties are
about all over or will be within the
next week or ten days, when fall ap-
pies will begin to arrive. No change
in quotations has taken place during
the week, but the movement has been
better than heretofore.
Other Fruits-Peaches are getting
very plentiful and during the next ten
days should be at about the zenith.
Quotations are little easier this week
at 6O@75c. Pears are off Csc at SIPS
@1.50, while cantaloupes are down soc
at S1.25@1.50. Grapes are getting
quite plentiful, with the Tokays quot
ing at So and Muscats and Blacks at
SLIPS.
Potatoes-Spuds still hold at $1.25
per cwt. for the Irish variety, while
the sweets are little easier at 1925.
Other Vegetables - Strings beans
are easier at 4@5c, as is also cucum-
bers at 50@75c per box. Root vege-
tables are easier at $1,000, while
caulifower is up a little at $1@2. To-
matoes and eggplant have declined,
the former from 65@75c to 50@75c
and the latter from $1.75 to S1@1.50
Pumpkins are now in market and Of
fered at $1.50.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-The advance in the local
wheat market has been pronounced
during the past week, prices adjust
ing themselves to the higher range in
eastern centers, on a basis of &c high
er than last weeks quotations. Blue
stem is now up to S1.24, with club al
$1.1s and red Russian $1.17. The gen
eral situation has shown fluctuatins
tendencies, with a number of SHARP
breaks from the top, placing Chicago
practically on a level with the har
vest partially completed, while the
problem of moving the Northwest
crop holds a very serious one, with
no tonnage available with which tt
float cargoes from the Pacific seaboarC
and strong possibilities of encounter
ing difficulties in securing cars will
which to make transcontinental deliv
cries. The mills have bought consid
cradle wheat, but are inclined to con
servatism at the present range o
prices.
