MARKET AT SPOKANE.

Demands have been we'll up to nor
NAL. Barring the usual quiet inner
ent to the turn of the year, the inven-
tories and clearance sales general de-
mands have been very good. Better
ment in the demand for lumber con-
tinues. The movement of farm prod
ucts has been rather slow, due in large
measure to the fact that growers are
still holding for better prices, although
the present level is very profitable
one.

pared with the same date a year ago.
Local quotations range from % to 35c.
Eggs-The cold weather of the past
week has caused the great American
hen to shut<off on her supply of fruit,
with the result that the market is up
little over that of last week Quo
tations are $12@12.5O to the produc-
xrho
for cold storage. u. S. department of

time and quotations remain at SIG

AT III IMPERIAL.

Many readers of popular fiction
remember the story of "Rebecca of
Sunnybrook Farm" with pleasure.
This famous story by Kate Douglas
Wiggin, writer of good, clean, breezy
stuff" is adapted to the silent
drama, and is reproduced by that
popular mistress of her art. Mary
Pickford Monday and Tuesday of the
week. Rebecca and her numerous
brothers and sisters at the farm are
shown with faithful detail and with
the spirit of mischief which animates
that irrepressible child. Then, be-
cause the farm is too populous for
the income, and with a mortgage
looming large, Rebecca is sent to her
two New England spinster aunts.
Her spirited behavior here keeps the
staid ladies in turmoil, and the neigh
borhood opens its eyes The girl inn
mediately makes friends with all the
children, and enters a s~oap-selling
scheme for relieving the distress of a
certain poor family. She is material
ly assisted in this by the generosity
of a young man, and in her childish
innocence says that when she grows
up she Is going to marry him. Well,
she Is sent away to school, and re-
turns a beautiful girl. The love OF
the child is continued as love for the
young woman, and her youthful
promise is made true.
