gave the farmers more opportunity to
do fall blowing Now that the govern
ment buys its wheat whenever they
are in need of the same from the coun-
try warehouses and allows them &c
per month as carrying charges, has
cleared up the atmosphere considerable
in the selling of wheat. The govern
ment's consent to transfer the basis
of holding in storage from coast ter
minals to country warehouses will
bring about slow absorption of the
grain. The shipping demand so far
outside of this territory has been very
small, but it is reported that the gov
eminent has purchased million
bushels of wheat from Idaho, which
will be shipped back east as rapidly
as possible. This wheat will be used
for mixing purposes by eastern mill
ing centers.
Flour.-There is no change in the
flour trade conditions from a week
ago. Millers are selling all the flour
they can make; in fact, the demand
is in excess of the production and
millers are compelled to apportion
shipments in order to take on govern
ment contracts which have to be filled
from time to time. The buying trade
is getting more accustomed to getting
along with small supplies and the de
mand is less urgent, as there is a
steady flow of small orders in an effort
to keep up stocks to the 30-day limit.
The mills are running well up to ca
pacity, but large part Of the output
is diverted to government require
ments and for export to supply the
needs of the allies. Local patents
were declined zoe per barrel Friday
morning. making firsts $3.50 and sec
onds $40.
Feed.-There is a good demand for
millfeed and the mixed car trade is
very strong; offerings in straight car
lots are scarce, millers are selling most
OF their output to interior buyers and
the brokers are not getting much of
a look-in on trade right now. Oats
showed pronounced strength during
the week, but latterly have suffered
some recession. Prices, however are
still above those of a week ago, par
ticularly so in the instance of the flu
ture months

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Government re-
QUESTIONS and expenditures for all
sorts of military supplies are at an
unprecedented height, transportation
routes are under unexampled strain
and increasing stress is being laid
upon the necessity for curtailing non
essential industries to allow of full
supplies of fuel and raw materials for
war purposes. There is, therefore,
increasing evidence of speeding up
on the so-called war lines, accompanied
by the presence of governmental
checkrein upon activities in others.
Incidentally, scarcity of fuel or raw
materials or the working out of other
processes making for clover readjust
ments to a war basis tends to restrict
movements in various ways. Trade in
civilian supplies is still large, but
there appears to be a concentration
upon foods and wearing apparel to an
extent not hitherto seen.
Further quieting down of ordinary
house building and operations in fur
niture, automobile pleasure carr anC
jewelry manufacturing, furs and other
products is balanced by increased buy
ing of steel for munitions, shipbuild
ing and allied lines.
Agricultural implement men, too. are
buying and selling freely enough fol
an ordinarily quiet period, while auto
mobile manufacturers are reported
shifting a great deal of capacity t
supplying government needs for mum
tions.

MARKET AT SPOKANE.

There has been but little if any
change in the business situation of
the country during the past week.
The fundamental conditions, which in
clude full employment of the people,
and an enormous production of COM
modities from original sources, were
never better Agricultural products
and mineral products never before
brought prices that were so remunera-
tive to the producers, and the number
of people directly engaged in these
industries is very large. There is a
calmer, more conservative tone in all
quarters, without any real let-up of
activity.
1t is evident that the whole country
is doing business with full apprecia-
ton of the fact that conditions are
extraordinary and subject to change
and yet with large degree of conf
dence in the future. There has been
over-buying prompted by rising prices
and fear of inability to get goods later,
and this in some degree explains the
unprecedented demand.
Provisions.
Butter.-The market is reported as
very firm, but without change as to
quotations, which are as heretofore at
4S@49c for Washington creamery.
Eggs.-Market for fresh ranch shows
some weakness due to increased re-
ceipts from pullets now laying. Stor-
age stocks have broadened out as re-
CARDS quotations and are now offered
at $12@13. Fresh ranch are quoted
at $3.50 wholesale and SIS to the pro-
Queer.
Fruits and Vegetables.

this market last week and the first

A few pears are still to be had and

Irish spuds remain unchanged al

Sang 4
w HAT an interest centered IN
w that babe, wrapped in swad-
ding clothes, lying in man
ger at Bethlehem Prophets were
interested, angels were interested,
the ages have been most deeply in
terested since. The shepherds had
perhaps some premonition. The
seventy weeks of Daniels prophecy
were about fulfilled. 1t may be at
that very time they were talking OF
the coming of Christ.
Suddenly their attention was ar
rested by a strange sight In the
heavens. 1t grew brighter and took
the form of an angel, and then they
heard voice announcing the birth
of Christ as glad tidings for all peo-
pie, not to the Jews only. Then
suddenly the air was filled with an
gels singing as if they had come
right out from the air.
We know not their wonderful
song, but part came to mortal ears,
"Glory to God in the highest" etc.
We know not who those angels were,
but we fancy they were the redeem
ed. Adam was there; Eve was
there. Eve, who in her maternal
earnestness declared at the birth of
her frstborn, 81 have got a man
from the Lord" hoping that that
was he who should bruise the SER
pent's head. Now, in the fullness
of time she had come to witness the
birth of the babe who was to be the
Saviour of her race. David, Elijah,
Moses, the patriarchs, we believe,
were with the heavenly host. =
This song reveals three things:
First.-The glorifcation of God
through the incarnation. God has
glory through his vast work in ma
ture, his providence building up and
casting down nations, etc.
In the incarnation there was spe-
cial glory. 1t, was glory to God in
the highest-highest, in that it was
above all other glory, in that it ex-
tended to all time and in that it
wrought such wondrous good.
Second.-The great results to the
earth. 1t would result in peace.
Strifes, thorns and thistles were
Astounding. The earth was torn and
bleeding by constant contention
With Christ came peace. The result
would be universal peace.
Third.-The effect on the individ.
ual man. "Good will toward men,
from one another, from God. Out
of this good will would finally spring
peace on earth and glory to God il
the highest.-Dr. Matthew Simpson

Germans Lose in Minor Fights.

In France and Belgium there is lit
tie military activity, except for small
engagements by outposts and raidine
contingents and artillery duels.
The nearest approach to attacks in
force were made by the Germans Sat

of France and to the north of the
observation-disclosures. In both of these
the Germans were worsted by the
French.
