General Trade Conditions.

Dun's says: A month of readjust.

little disturbance to business and only
in relatively few instances are signs
of special hesitation apparent. Less

tinued in some important branches,
largely because of the extreme prices
Yet the growing crops reflect appre.

promising more abundant harvest
than recently seemed likely and the
betterment in the agricultural outlook

are more than ever needed.
Conservatism is still dominant

Niles Floods Above Normal.

The River Nile reached an abnor-
mally high level this year, though the
annual floods form part and parcel of
the national life of Egyptians, who are
never taken by surprise when such
events occur. The condition of affairs,
however, proved sufficiently alarming
to warrant the government in putting
into effect the decree Of 1887, which
obliges all able-bodied men to assist
in the protection of threatened regions
under pain of Imprisonment or fine
whenever the stream of the ancient
PharaohS gets beyond control.

STIRRING SPEECHOF
PRESIDENT WILSON
DECLARES FIGHT MEANS GRIM
BUSINESS ON EVERY
SIDE.
ALL NATIONS IN new UNION
Red Cross Memorial, 100000, Dedi-
Gated to Women of North and.
South-To Wipe Out
Lines.

Washington. -President Wilson said
in a public address here Saturday that
the struggle against Germany means
grim business on every side of it, but
that America had put it's heart into
the task and would respond as united
nation to the call to service.
Obliterate All Differences.
Speaking at the dedication of Red
Cross memorial for the women of the
civil war, the president predicted that
the present struggle not only would
obliterate the last division between
the north and south, but would wipe
out ANY lines either of race or asso-
citation cutting athwart the great body
of the nation"
Former President Taft introduced
Mr.. Wilson as the nations leader in
the greatest war in history, "a war
whose sacrifices we can not realize"
Secretary Baker formally presented
the memorial building to the Red Cross
society, and the presidents address
was made in accepting it as honorary
head of the society. The building, a
handsome 100000 structure, built by
the government, was dedicated to both
the women of the north and south.
After the exercises the president and
Mr.. Taft reviewed about 1000 members
of the women's volunteer aid corps, led
by Mrs. Hugh l.. Scott, Mrs. Newton
D. Baker and Mrs. Josephus Daniels,
as vice chairmen.

The Modern Way of Retailing.

1t has been suggested for several
months by some wholesalers and it
has been reported that they have been
endeavoring to interest the trade in
new method of selling goods to the
public. The object seems to be to
meet the competition of chain stores
and mail order houses, especially the
former, as in many places retailers
are very much worked up over the
penny store system. These chain
stores as general thing sell for cash
and make no deliveries. This new
method is based upon that type of re-
tail service. The so-called neutral
price color of the store building to
distinguish them from the ordinary
grocery. The object here is to take
three colors, one color for C. o. d.
terms, the other colors for charge and
delivery terms. The housewife is CIV
en- the choice of, for example: She
buys a package of any kind of goods
for 22c, If she cares to pay cash and
carry the package home; she pays 24c
If she prefers to have the order sent
to her c. o. D., and she pays csc if
she elects to have the article charged
and delivered, says Illinois Retail
Journal
The basic figure for the net cash
price it is assumed that fiat charge
of sc on each order irrespective of it's
size will pay for all delivery expense,
including the cost of collection of the
purchase price. 1t is estimated that
the average grocery order runs to
about soc. The additional charge of
1c per order or . per cent on the in
come is supposed to take care of all
loss due to bad accounts and also the
expense of running a bookkeeping de-
partment. ;,
We give the above outline for the
benefit of the consideration of our
merchants, and while we are not sat
istled that the plan and basis of price
and system will work out successfully,
1t should help those who are inclined
to go into the proposition, especially
If they are so situated that they are
seriously thinking of making a change
or chang becoming necessary on
account of the strong competition
A man at St. Peters, in Minnesota,
and also man by the name of O. B.
Johnson at lnglewood, Cal, are run
ming what is known as the two-price
store.
Mr. Johnson issues a monthly price
list, on one side cash, no delivery serv-
ice; on the other side credit and de-
livery service. One side of the store
you buy for cash and take your goods
home with you; you get the lowest
price; on the other side you can have
the goods charged if your credit is
good and they deliver the order, but
you pay extra for the privilege of hav.
ing it put on the books and you pay
for the delivery service.
Mr.. Johnson says the plan is work
ing satisfactory, but he has not as yet
given it sufficient tryout to be posi-.
tive as to whether it will be perman.
ent or not. Il am continually testing
it in different ways to see if there are
Objectionable points. The trouble at
present is that new help and people
not acquainted with our system are
liable to get offended before they get
to know the real meaning of our sys-

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

The abnormal features of business
conditions have impressed themselves
more forcibly than anything else dur
ing the past month. This is the log
ical result of developments which
change the complexion of national pol
icies and national activities. The in
itial effects are disturbing, and to an
extent, disquieting, but not discourag-
ing. So far as actual trade is con-
cerned, the enlargement in demands
has been pronounced, and destruction
in operations has been imposed by the
limit of capacity to care for commod
ity requirements, both in the direction
of the inadequacy of supplies and the
ability to move them to points of con-
sumption. This is party due to the
tendency to anticipate wants, and in
some directions, will be followed by
a lull, with the subsistence of this
movement, but the fact remains that
the greatest problem that confronts
the industrial and commercial forces
of the country today is to care for the
business of the future, rather than to
develop business.
Provisions.
Butter-Supplies have been coming
forward with greater freedom, and
prices have adjusted themselves
slightly. There is steady current
demand, while the Pacific Northwest
is now in the export column and will
ship large quantities East during the
present season.
Eggs-Market has slackened off
from earlier advances. Storage oper-
atoms are still limited, and the carry
over demand surplus will be below the
normal.
Dressed Meats-Market is still hold
ing at top figures, with no indications
of Improvement. Light marketings of
livestock and the backward season,
which delays the receipt of grass fed
cattle indicates firm rulings for some
time to come.
Lard and Cured Meats-The situa-
ton in cured meats continues very
strong, with further advances in hams,
bacon and various pork products, with
growing scarcity and lack of selling
pressure. Lard and lard substitutes
are also firm and advancing.
Fruits and Produce.
With increasing receipts of season
able products the market shows
steady tendencies, with moderate de-
mands.
Strawberries are arriving in rea-
sonable price limits from the South,
jobbing at $3.50 in 20 pint cup crates,
with fair cleanup.
Apples still hold at lower figures,
and are among the lowest priced food
products available. Extra fancy Wine
saps are selling at $500, with gen.
eral range on price from $1.25 up to
that figure.
Oranges have been selling well, with
some of the smaller sizes holding
around $275, and a range up to 1878
for extra fancy stock. Lemons con-
.inue to range at $4.25 to $4.75.
Rhubarb is coming in at &c per ID.
and moving well. Green peas at SC,
spinach at &C, asparagus at s@1Oc and
new cabbage at &c, are among cur
rent receipts.
New potatoes from the South are
offering at 10c and still trifle slow.
Old potatoes have again firmed up,
and are quoting at $3.50 cwt. for To-
Gals, and while offerings are limited,
demand has fallen off perceptibly
from the normal.
Carrots are about the only sacked
vegetable available, quoting at $1.25.

w. r. Tucker, the Agricultural EN-
tension Agent for the A. B. s. A, re-
turned Saturday from Texas where
he spent the past three weeks buying
cattle for farmers along the line of the
A, B. & A. Mr. Tucker, on this trip,
purchased 1900 head,of Hereford and
Shorthorn heifcrs and young bulls.
This splendid cooperation of the
\. b & A, with the progressive farm
ers along their line of road is to be
commended, as the entire promotion
charges of this extensive scheme have
been footed by this railroad COM
pany.
Mr. Tucker travelled considerably in
Texas on this trip and brought back
with him doleS1l report of the con-
ditions in that state, where in some
large sections it hasn't ,rained for
more than two years, forcing the sale
of their cattle for lack of feed and
water and as Mr. Tucker states. also
compels the abandonment of large
farming areas.
Cotton, says Mr.. Tucker, should
easily bring Soc per pound, as the
lexas crop is practically total fair
ure this year.
Mr., Tucker may make another trip
to Texas this Fall, if enough demand
Tor this class of beef cattle is made
on him. The A. B. & A. wishes to
fully cooperate in developing this
section, and for that reason they are
ready to finance SO extensive plans to
bring good cattle in the county.

BIG DAY At BAPTIST
CHURCH SUNDAY

Yesterday a great day for the First
Baptist church In the absence OF
our faithful and loved Superintendent,
Mr.. Griffin, who was i'll, the Sunday
School was presided over by the pas
tor. A marked increase in attendance
of some fifty or more Sunday School
students is evidence of an ever deep
ening interest in the Masters work.
At II a. NJ Dr. Baker preached
from text found in the second
chapter of Chronicles 10th chapter,
second verse: They entered into a
covenant" By this logical and elo-
quent discourse the hearers realized
the seriousness Of entering into a CO.
venant and the greater seriousness for
breaking covenant when once
agreed upon.
At the close OF this magnificent
sermon some nineteen or twenty, men
women and boys and girls were re-
ceived into the church, after which
the ordinance of the Lords supper
was administered in most impress
sive way.
The Sunbeam band met at 3 P. NJ.
leadership of Miss Hattie Walker.
This organization also had marked
increase in attendance.
At $50 the Junior and Senior B. Y.
P. US met and as usual, great inter
est and some enthusiasm was mani
tested.
The Union service in the evening,
bringing together the various congre-
cations of the city. is an event long
to be remembered by those present.
The ministers taking part in well
coming to the city DR.. Baker were:
Rev. E. G, Orahood from the Christ
ian church; Rev. L. A. Hill from the
Central Methodist church, and Rev.
J. S. Grail of the First Methodist.
The evening sermon was preached
by the pastor, DR.. Stephen J. Baker.
