MARKET AT SPOKANE.

The developments which reflect and
influence the business situation have
been of an suspicious nature since
the turn of the year. The actual vol
ume of distribution in progress is
markedly improved by comparison
with the opening month of 1915
There are larger inquiries for mer-
chandise to cover future require
ments. There is an increasing num-
Der of new projects and improve
ments coming up for consideration
and an underlying sentiment of opti-
mism that looks forward to increased
activities and larger measure of
prosperity as the season advances.
While there has been no hating in
the direction of price enhancement
in the general list of staple commod-
tiles; while iron and steel, wheat, cot
ton and the products that have the
most important bearing upon mer-
chandise stocks continue to hold at
record prices, the situation is not re-
strictive upon current demands, for
the public generally is receiving rev.
enues which are an offset for the
high prices, and there is less of hest
fancy in the spending of money.
Provisions.
Butter - Market is very firm but
without change as to quotations, with
Washington creamery quoted at 38
@4oc.
Eggs-Market has been fiuctuating
considerably during the past two or
three weeks and figures are lower
this week, with prices to the produc-
ers quoted at $11@11.5O and whole
sailing at $12@12.5O. while the stor-
age product, which is about all gone,
is offered at $9.5O@1o.50.
Dressed Meats-The situation is a
strong one, with all lines showing
scarcity and higher prices, while
business is about as heretofore.
Poultry-Hens, springers and old
ROSTERS are very scarce as to sup
ply, with not enough coming in to
supply the demand. and were it not
for the frozen stocks the dealers
would be up against it. Advances noted
hens from 13@14c to 15@16c, spring
ers from lac to 15@16c, and old roost-
ters from &c to .7@9c, these being
the live weight figures paid to the
producers.
Lard and Cured Meats-Cured Meats
are practically unchanged. Business
is holding up well to the seasons
mark, although this is the quiet pc
Rod in distributive operations. Lard
is still firm, but holding at 1Sc.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Apples = Market is without pro-
nounced change. There are good Of
ferings, covering current wants, but
stocks are cleaning up fairly we'll in
first hands and the season is prov
ing favorable to the grower.
Oranges-This fruit is selling at
former figures of SO for the fancy
and S2.75 for the choice. The quality
is gradually getting better and sup
plies more plentiful.
Other Fruits-Lemons remain un-
changed at $3.50 for the fancy and
81 for the choice. Cranberries are a
little easier this week at $1,000 per
barrel and $500 per box.
Potatoes-Market is a very firm
one. The weather has been a fea-
ture in restricting shipments from
producing points, and stocks are re-

The Unpatrfotfc.

We take this little sentence from Pierre de Coulevain's "The Heart of Love-: What constitutes the worth of a country Is the worth of each member of it.
 That Is 8 great truth. In the light of it only a. worthy citizen is pa triot The questions are: Who is the worthy citizen? What are his quail ities? What sort of life does he lead? When these questions are pressed with, respect to very many people it will be found that there are many persons who are real enemies of the country rather than it's patriots. Every grafter, every demagogue, every spells politician, every drunkard, every gambler, every profane swearer, every liar, backbiter and every man who beats and curses his wife is an enemy of the country, and as long as they last the republic will be an ex- pertinent and a problem. One must be worthy man to be friend of his country.-Ohio State Journal.

 The Red Cross campaign came to successful close on Monday night, and the committee Is in hopes that Berlin went we'll over the top during the week. Up to Monday morning, a large number of new members were V enrolled and the prospects for the { final day were very encouraging. The booths at the post offices, the bank and at s. M.

In fact, the results at the z booths were so gratifying that the house to house campaign which was originally planned. was not necessary, the local residents responding so read \ fly.
