OFFERS THOUSANDS OF PRIZES
All Agricultural Products Are to Be
Judged Separately at the
Interstate Fair.

Three thousand seven hundred and
twenty three prizes are offered by the
Spokane Interstate Fair which opens
its gates for the 24th annual exhibition
September 3. These prizes are divided
into l2O classes, which indicate the re-
markable growth of the exposition.
Ten years ago there were 80 classes
with prizes proportionately less.
The interest in the fair this year
shown by manufacturers of agricultur-
al machinery is emphasized by the fact
that virtually every square foot of
ground available for displays has al
ready been contracted for by them.
These displays will illustrate every
thing from gophehr trap to combine
harvester in operation, the fair man.
agement insisting it will supply the
gophers if necessary
Oranges, farmers unions and COM
mercial clubs are asking for more
space than at any previous show. In
this connection President Griffith makes
the following announcement on the
distribution of prize money as an en-
couragement to all exhibitors in this
class:
"The general displays of agricultural
products have long been a feature of
the fair and the management has en-
deavored each year to increase these
exhibits by offering liberal cash prizes
These displays were usually made by
counties or district organizations, and
individuals and smaller societies COM
planned that they did not have a
fair chance Of winning against such
competition.
Therefore, the pro rata plan Of
judging display exhibits in this depart
ment was used last year. 1t proved SO
successful that the management de-
cided to use the same system, with
certain Improvements of the idea, for
this years fair
ut seems impractical to make two
or more different sets Of prizes for
such displays and the management
hopes the new plan by which all COM
pete together in each section and ad-
ditional prize money is paid for exhibits
made by individuals, farmers unions,
oranges, will be found satisfactory.
Each class of agricultural products
will be Judged separate, the money in
each section divided according to the
score and the money offered for the
exhibits made by individuals, oranges
and farmers unions is added to their
winnings in the regular classes. BY
this plan, a small display OF superior
quality will win over large display Of
poorer quality, and every exhibit en-
tered Is sure to win some money"
General display money Is to be d.
vided as follows: $500 for display Of
sheaf and shelled grain; $50 for dis
play Of grasses and forage crops;
$3.50 for display Of fruit; $500 for
display Of vegetables; $500 added for
displays by local oranges or farmers
unions; $500 added for displays by
individuals.

MARKET At SPOKANE.

| Market conditions are generally more
stable in foodstuffs, although prices
are based upon the movement of new
crop supplies present or prospective,
indicating the probability that in most
cases quotations are close to the low
point, with the future course of fluc-
tuations indeterminate.
Provisions.
Butter-Has advanced to 44c, and
the market Is in a very strong posi-
| ton. Prices for butter fat are at the
highest level ever reached at the sea-
son, the big acquisitions from the con-
densers being a factor in absorbing
supplies, while protracted dry weather
has served to lower the supply.
Eggs-The situation is strong one.
Prices are steadily moving upward,
past week, with the market now rul-
ing at 41c. Shortage in storage stocks
give the position of the market a par
ticularly firm outlook for fall and win
ter
Dressed Meats-Have been showing
relatively better supplies, while the
hot weather and fresh fruit offerings
have kept down demands to some ex.
tent. Prices are unchanged, however,
and inclined to hold steady.
Cured Meats-Are ranging practic-
ally unchanged. There has been slight
recession in some brands of skinned
and picnic hams, but the general tone
Of the market is steady. Lard has
flrmed up a trifle, but declines are not
general.
Fish-With improved supplies the
fish market Is showing larger activity.
Fall and humpback salmon are now
Offering, with Sockeyes coming in and
Silvers at lie. Halibut has eased off,
but is still high. Silver smelts are in
and black bass.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Business has been good In produce
lines. and supplies are coming in free
ly In seasonable lines. Citrus fruits
generally are higher. Lemons have ad-
vanced sharply and are jobbing up to
So for fancy, while oranges are show
ing smaller variety with prices up to
$3.50 and $4.75 per case.
Cherries have practically wound up
large crop, which moved at good
prices. The market is holding around
&c per pound, and supplies are still
good. Cooking apples are moving as
supplies become available, a few early
varieties coming in at $1.25 per box.
Loganberries are still selling around
$3.50, with raspberries at $3.50.
Peaches are late, California now Of
fering at 81 to SLIPS. with few arrivals
from Washington at 75@85c, although
a good crop Is indicated in present
prospects.
Potatoes are becoming plentiful, and
big supply is indicated by the large
ly increased acreage and the outturn
of early potatoes. The moving of the
potato crop promises to prove some
thing of problem this season, and the
state agriculturist is advocating the
establishment of factories for the man
ufacture of starch and evaporating po-
tatoes or making potato meal.
Sacked vegetables generally are be-
coming more plentiful. Onions are
low in price, with good available Of
ferings. Sacked carrots are now in,
but with turnips and other offerings
are still selling at comparatively
high figure.
New cabbages are still selling at &c
per pound, but the supply is increas-
ing.
